Seriously, though, you gotta hand it to Jeremy Renner. His acting for these bits were amazing. Especially considering he probably could actually hear everything Hailee Steinfeld was saying to him while they were filming these scenes. His facial expressions were SPOT ON
He's actually hard of hearing in real life, he just doesn't wear a hearing aid and doesn't like to talk about it. I'm certain that he drew on his own personal experiences for these scenes. Pay attention to him when he's in group interviews with the rest of the cast -- he doesn't always realize when people are talking to him and he makes those kinds of expressions a lot.
I'm hard of hearing. My ears gradually got worse in my 20s and they nailed all the hearing aid jokes and unfortunately the sadness and frustration there is along with it sometimes. Also I know they kept it simple but one hearing aid would not make him hear perfectly fine
Clint trying to talk to his son, whilst he can't hear him, is one of the best scenes in the entire MCU in my opinion. Ironically it doesn't even have any superhero schenanigans in it either.
@@greglynas52 "Being deaf" just means you have impaired hearing, there are degrees to it. Being hard of hearing qualifies under being deaf, since it is partial deafness. "Deaf" ≠ Total deafness (no sound at all) "Deaf" = Any level of deafness Of course, not all people who are hard of hearing choose to identify themselves as "deaf," but that's more of an individual personal thing than a matter of definitions.
The show really handled Clint's deafness so well. My favorite part is when they show just how he became deaf - there wasn't some big dramatic event, he didn't get shot in the ears by his archenemy or something, it was just the result of decades of being the normal dude among the Avengers. I love it. Feels so real.
Like Thor, with his eye 👁, a part of me wonders if alien technology can effectively solve Clint’s hearing problems. Honestly, given what Clint has been through, it is probably a miracle he didn’t die like he did in several What If versions of him.
Considering Wakanda and Tony's tech, im fairly certain they wouldnt even need alien tech to fix his hearing and even make it better than it was. I mean if Wakanda has tech to heal shot to the spine with relative easy, i dont think getting him high tech hearing aid would be that impossible
@@legendaryjimbob7685 it depends on the injury. they could absolutely add a permanent technological solution, but just fixing hearing or eyesight is sometimes impossible. in hawkeye's case, repairs could probably be made. in other cases, there might not be anything to repair
It has its moments, for sure, and Hawkeye himself is excellently written (I would argue Kate is pretty good too, though some would disagree with me on that), but the actual plot is... not all there
Another fun scene related to his deafness is when it shows a montage of all the times during the movies where's he's exposed to the all the loud noises that destroy his hearing
@@guts-141 Sadly through the power change they couldn't do her "would rather be somebody else" thing. Always thought that was a very relateable arc for an outcast like her.

I have awful vision, and since the walls at home are thin, my greatest asset is my hearing.

Weird, and very isolating. I can never tell how loud I'm being, and it feels strange when you can tell you're talking, but aren't getting any feedback. When that started happening, I got much quieter. I used to be able to hear fine, which is why I had such a hard time processing it.

@@danielle6881 Yay! How are they? It took me a bit to adjust to all the noise (and realizing what I had stopped being able to hear, such as birdsong).

(Basically, I was born with crappy auditory nerves that are giving up the ghost. ) And to answer the OP's question, most hard of hearing people can still hear themselves a bit at least. I had to have speech therapy to learn how to control my volume by "feel" back before I lost hearing so that part wasn't a huge adjustment. When I don't have my hearing aids in, it's that same "everything out a bit out of focus" feeling you get when you take off your glasses or contacts.

She felt like he was relying on technology too much since, unlike her, he didn't learn sign language and relied on his hearing aids. That, plus they are on different sides (which is why they were fighting in the first place)
Yes, it's a nod to the comics. Yes, it's representation. Yes, it makes him feel more human. But it also is great for the writing. He's the mentor figure, but when he can't hear and they lack free hands to sign or write, she has to step up. It adds an interesting dynamic. What a good decision
Renner is one of the last good things marvel still has their hands on. Amongst the wreck of modern marvel, seeing clips of him is a little breath of fresh air... even if the show itself isn't great.
