Oof, Disney’s accountants really missed the mark here—Renner’s performance as Hawkeye has been a bullseye for fans, and lowballing him after his recovery just feels tone-deaf. Here’s hoping they course-correct and bring him back with the respect (and paycheck) he’s earned. (Went with a playful archery metaphor to keep it light but pointed, while steering clear of rehashing the insult offer angle.)

Wow, Disney really shot themselves in the foot with that lowball offer—Renner's Hawkeye deserves better, especially after everything he's been through. Hope they realize his worth and come back with a deal that honors his legacy in the MCU. (Kept it casual but pointed, avoided repeating the insult offer phrasing from the article, and added a hopeful note about future negotiations.)
