Avengers: Endgame Fans Have Mixed Feelings On Hawkeye’s Mohawk

Marvel released a new trailer for Avengers: Endgame today and one of the many things it revealed was our best look yet at Clint Barton’s fresh look. Having cast aside his Hawkeye identity to become Ronin, the retired superhero is in a dark place now that his family have been dusted in the Snap and it seems he’s decided to show his new grim outlook by getting himself a mohawk. I mean, we all do it, right? When mourning loved ones, our first port of call is to go to the hair stylist.

As you can guess, Twitter has had a field day reacting to Jeremy Renner’s new do, which we shall henceforth be calling a “grief haircut.”

So, half the world has died, but hey, even a hero has got to look after number one.

it's the apocalypse but hawkeye is taking regular self-care breaks to maintain his immaculately styled mohawk

Some people deal with death in weird ways…

I'm not like against Hawkeye's new haircut. I just keep thinking about how this dude watched his family get dusted and then was like "I'm gonna give myself a mohawk???" https://t.co/R8ybZhJPQI

Alternatively, maybe it wasn’t Clint’s decision and his mohawk came about by Thanos choosing an unfortunate time to snap his fingers.

Or maybe hair follicles count as living creatures and were affected by the Snap, too?

Wow, Thanos snapped half of Hawkeye’s hair too… #AvengersEndgame pic.twitter.com/mfz6JkjWzx

When you think about it, Ronin isn’t the best name Clint could have rechristened himself with. In fact, one fan came up with something far superior.

Poor Hawkeye, always the butt of the joke going right the way back to 2012’s The Avengers. Maybe Avengers: Endgame will see him finally prove to people though that, even when armed with just a bow and arrow, he’s just as indispensable to the safety of the universe as the rest of the heroes.
