Part 2/10:
The core of the debate centers on whether artist David Aja, who is closely associated with the modern Hawkeye comic run, received due recognition and financial remuneration for his contributions. Fans and critics alike are outraged that Disney, now producing a series heavily inspired by Aja’s artwork, did not ostensibly offer him significant compensation beyond "credit." According to industry insiders, Aja is credited in the show’s credits for "special thanks," but this is often seen as a minimal gesture from the studio, especially considering the influence of his art style on the adaptation.
