Rick and Morty
Summary
Rick and Mortyhas never been shy about criticise theAvengers , the entire MCU , and even the broad superhero genre as a whole , yet one revilement was more blatant than most others , as it specifically called out one MCU Avenger in the proficient mode .
The original Avengers in the MCU were Captain America , Iron Man , Black Widow , Hawkeye , Hulk , and Thor . As draft in their debut flick , each Avenger brought their own flair to the team in a way that no one else could . Captain America was the leader , Iron Man was the tech genius , Black Widow was the superintendent - spy , Hawkeye was the expert marksman , Hulk was the sinew , and Thor was a genuine divinity . While this team was enough to contain the intact MCU dealership during its gilt geological era , there was always clearly one member who arguably stood out as being adequate piece tautologic and pointless on this particular superhero squad : Hawkeye - andRick and Mortycalls that out hilariously .

InRick and Morty : Crisis on C-137by Stephanie Phillips and Ryan Lee , the Smith family is recruited by the last - stay Vindicator , Supernova , to serve struggle their Canis familiaris - turned - supervillain , Snowball ( formerly Snuffles ) . To do that , Rick has to give every member of his family ‘ super tycoon ’ in the form of hide - tight superhero lawsuit that also act as their official costumes . Morty got optical maser shank wrist gauntlet , Beth got a ‘ Winter Soldier ’ weapon system and a ‘ Captain America ’ carapace , and Summer bewilder a giant cell phone / axe weapon system . Meanwhile , Jerry get the bad costume / powers of all : a suit with tons of unnecessary flair resonant ofHawkeye ’s comic ledger costume , and a bow and arrows as his only artillery .
By making Jerry the team ’s occupier ‘ Hawkeye ’ , reader are told everything they want to know about how the serial feel about the MCU Avenger . Jerry is the bad , and everything he does is lame , therefore - in the eye ofRick and Morty- Hawkeye is game . Not only that , but the comic sound even further by point out specifically that wielding a bow and arrows during a superhero battle just does n’t make any horse sense . In fact , Jerry himself ask if it came with something like a laser function to be more effectual . Then , when he in reality assay to utilize it , the arm has absolutely no effect on the villains he ’s fighting , confirming that a bowing and arrows are n’t the best things to contend with during a battle that could decide the portion of the intact man .
