'鹰眼'错过了一个旨在介绍凯特毕晓普的开场白

(CNN)Marvel might have reached into its quiver once too often with "Hawkeye," at least based on the first two episodes, which offer a slow start tilted more toward the character of Kate Bishop than the titular Clint Barton. Amusing in places, this holiday-themed series makes jokes about trick arrows, but it's going to need a few more tricks up its sleeve.

The premiere finds Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) in New York City with his kids, leaving his beyond-patient wife (Linda Cardellini) behind. But the early focus is on the young Kate (Hailee Steinfeld) and her origin story, having lost her dad and -- inspired by Hawkeye's example -- committed herself to mastering combat and archery, which fairly quickly comes in handy.

Kate essentially stumbles onto a strange conspiracy, and in the process runs across an artifact that's destined to catch Clint's attention. He's understandably cranky, however, about getting drawn into a mystery that will keep him in New York, threatening the family time for which he's been hoping with Christmas only a few days away.

As with "WandaVision" and "Loki," "Hawkeye" cleverly calls back to earlier moments in the Marvel universe and exhibits no great hurry to disgorge secrets, including what the true danger might be. Fans also get to see a bit more of Renner (pulling series double duty right now in "Mayor of Kingstown") as the hero in family-man mode, a wrinkle seemingly made for a series format.

As initially lined up, though, the battles the pair face involve a particularly tired bunch of miscreants. Even a show that approaches its episodic run like an extra-long movie owes the audience a bit more momentum than this, especially when those installments roll out weekly.

So what's left? One genuinely laugh-out-loud funny gag in the first episode, and the interplay between the curmudgeonly Clint and the enthusiastic Kate, with Steinfeld well-chosen for some sort of baton (or arrow) pass, but moderately fleshed out as a character in the early going.

Beyond entering the world of superheroes, Kate's issues also include her mom (Vera Farmiga, underused at first) having entered into a new relationship with Jack ("Better Call Saul's" Tony Dalton), who provokes Kate's suspicions.

Marvel's series for Disney+ have cleverly used the platform to more fully explore established characters while simultaneously planting seedlings for future offshoots -- a logical strategy for all sorts of reasons, which has allowed the studio to experiment with different kinds of shows. That's certainly cheaper than jumping directly into something like "Eternals" on the big screen.

While not employed thus far, the "Hawkeye" trailer does reveal that there will be trick arrows before it's over. Yet unless that arsenal significantly improves the show's payload, the guy who once said he couldn't miss might rather ironically be associated with a Marvel series that conspicuously does.

"Hawkeye" premieres Nov. 24 on Disney+.

'鹰眼'错过了一个旨在介绍凯特毕晓普的开场白

（美国有线电视新闻网）漫威可能已经在“鹰眼”中频繁出现，至少基于前两集，它提供了一个缓慢的开始，更倾向于凯特·毕晓普的角色，而不是名义上的克林特·巴顿。这个以假期为主题的系列在某些地方很有趣，会开一些关于技巧箭头的笑话，但它需要更多技巧。

首映式上，鹰眼/克林特·巴顿（杰瑞米·雷纳饰）和他的孩子们在纽约市，留下了他超乎想象的妻子（琳达·卡德里尼饰）。但早期的重点是年轻的凯特（海莉·斯坦菲尔德）和她的起源故事，失去了她的父亲，并 - 受到鹰眼的启发 - 致力于掌握格斗和射箭，这很快就派上了用场。

凯特基本上偶然发现了一个奇怪的阴谋，在这个过程中遇到了一件注定要引起克林特注意的神器。然而，他的脾气暴躁是可以理解的，这是可以理解的，因为他卷入了一个让他留在纽约的谜团，威胁到他一直希望的家庭时光，而圣诞节只有几天了。

与“WandaVision”和“Loki”一样，“Hawkeye”巧妙地回顾了漫威宇宙的早期时刻，并没有急于透露秘密，包括真正的危险可能是什么。粉丝们还可以看到更多的雷纳（现在正在“金斯敦市长”中拉系列双重任务）作为家庭男人模式的英雄，这似乎是为系列格式制作的皱纹。

然而，正如最初排列的那样，这对夫妇面临的战斗涉及一群特别疲惫的歹徒。即使是像超长电影一样接近其剧集运行的节目也比这要给观众更多的动力，尤其是当这些分期付款每周推出时。

那么还剩下什么？第一集中一个真正让人大笑的笑话，以及脾气暴躁的克林特和热情的凯特之间的相互作用，斯坦菲尔德被精心挑选为某种接力棒（或箭）传球，但适度充实为角色早去。

除了进入超级英雄的世界之外，凯特的问题还包括她的妈妈（维拉·法米加，起初未被充分利用）与杰克（“更好地呼叫索尔的”托尼·道尔顿）建立了新的关系，这激起了凯特的怀疑。

漫威的迪士尼+系列巧妙地利用该平台更全面地探索既定角色，同时为未来的分支种植幼苗——出于各种原因，这是一个合乎逻辑的策略，这使得工作室能够尝试不同类型的节目。这肯定比直接跳到大屏幕上的“永恒族”之类的东西便宜。

虽然到目前为止还没有使用，但“鹰眼”预告片确实表明在它结束之前会有技巧箭头。然而，除非那个武器库显着提高了节目的有效载荷，否则那个曾经说他不能错过的人可能会讽刺地与一个引人注目的漫威系列联系在一起。

“鹰眼”于 11 月 24 日在 Disney+ 上首映。
