\u201cI came in towards the end. I mean, they had had a writer\u2019s room. They had rewritten [the show] after that writer\u2019s room a couple of times. I was literally the last call they could make to anybody. They want to make sure they shoot something and that they actually make it. And then I think there is this belief that we can \u2018Fix it as we go.\u2019 And that was very much the case with Hawkeye.\u201d He went on to elaborate, detailing some of the prevalent issues that would likely have cost the show its success. \u201cYou know, Hailee Steinfeld\u2019s character was written too young. The dynamic between her and Jeremy [Renner] wasn\u2019t there. There was a lot of extra twists and turns that were sort of gumming up the works. I needed their help as much as they needed mine. And we got through that process.\u201d<\/p>\n
And it was a good thing they were able to make these changes; the relationship between Kate Bishop and Clint Barton has gone on to become one of the series\u2019 more iconic dynamics, as has Kate herself. The series ended up earning a 92% critics\u2019 score and generated tons of excitement for characters who are sure to be even more compelling once they take center stage in their own stories. Erin Maxwell of LA Weekly<\/a> sums it up best, saying, \u201cThough the show lacks the depth of Wanda or the far-reaching implications of Loki, it has a humanity that makes its material easier to relate to.\u201d<\/p>\n
