Why Hawkeye and Black Widow?

There have always been some nonpowered people in the Avengers. I'm actually glad to see the combination of both. It shows that not only enhanced can save the world.
Besides, Hawkeye is seen an every man in the movies.
And they have their place in the film. I'm glad they're there. -

Yes, I agree about the slow progression and into the Marvel world, starting light and going deeper into the weirdness that is the comic world (for non comic people).
I disagree about only having people with powers in the Avengers.
I think it's good to show 'normal' people fighting alongside enhanced. That's been shown in the comics for quite some time. And a lot of these people have skills of their own. Hawkeye is a sharpshooter, Widow is a spy, and both are excellent fighters. I think in the comics they are shown to actually have enhancements, which hasn't been shown in the movies. -

They used The Hawk and Widow because they couldn't use SpiderMan and Wolverine. I would bet my left n*t to this day that had Marvel had the rights to these two characters, Natasha and Clint would never have even seen the light of day.

True, except that both Hawkeye and BW were closely associated with The Avengers from very early on, whereas Spidey and Wolverine didn't join until 30 or 40 years after The Avengers first were published.

I personally would have loved a more classic telling of the original Avengers. But I can understand why they wanted SHIELD to tie it all together rather than just have some random heroes decide to team up. That in turn leads to Widow and Hawkeye who I personally have liked in the MCU.
Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late) -

Although I LOVE both SJ & JR AND their characters and although I collected the West Coast Avengers comic book series (the group was started and headed by Clint Walker/Hawkeye) I will say that historically the real beginning of The Avengers started with Janet Van Dyne as The Wasp and "Ant Man" who went through a number of incarnations and eventually married her The Avengers were started and RUN by Van Dyne. She was the one in charge, the real power and authority behind them and they didn't, to my knowledge, answer to Shield or anyone else at that time. In point of fact, Hank Pym was kind of a weak character in comparison to her and one of the reasons he left the group and went crazy was because he couldn't find his "true self" and couldn't live in his wife's shadow.
Of course, that was also a VERY long time ago in a "galaxy SO FAR AWAY" very few will be old enough to remember it!
But I like BOTH characters and BOTH the actors who were chosen to portray them. I think SJ & Renner both ROCK!
That's just my opinion however. Along with a little bit of info on what Stan & Jack were actually writing at the series real beginning.
