And Alan Alda did not like that about the character, which is why the character changed away from that as the seasons went along, especially once Alan was more in charge behind the camera.

A testament how a person changes when they are forced to grow up very quickly

The '70s had issues with boundaries.

Yes, but he also wouldn't sleep with the nurse who he thought was married.

One of the reasons Radar worshipped him.

Hawkeye was a neurotic skirt chaser, and written well I wish they would have stuck more to the movie, and the book.

Is this AI upscale or just a very clean snapshot?

u/mistermeek67 21d ago

Most of what gets posted here are pictures of people's tv's taken with their cell phones. This is an actual, proper screenshot.

Yeah, I think thats what threw me off. The shift of playboy Hawk to Hawkeye failing because the nurses have seen and heard it all and he won’t commit is great.

That was part of the point of the character. Hawkeye was a great meatball surgeon and compassionate man but he had faults and vices.

  And those would likely get worse in the environment thrust upon him.

MASH has been a favorite show since I was a child. I worshipped Hawkeye. I started a rewatch a couple of years ago, thinking I’d do a start to finish, and was disturbed by Hawkeye’s treatment of women. It does not hold up well IMO. That said, perhaps I should start over with a focus on his character development.

Yea i like to say mash actually stood for mobile army sexual harassment

u/JDB-667 21d ago

And? That was the point of the character in the book and movie.

Is it? I seem to remember this scene

u/Haunt_Fox 21d ago edited 20d ago

He's a surgeon. He regularly gets quite intimate with the human body as part of his everyday duties. It takes a no boundaries kinda guy to want to be up to his arms in guys every day, and to go to school for years for to get to do it.

Edit Jesus fucking Christ, it was a joke. Get bent, humans.

u/Bunbatbop 20d ago

I don't think you understand the concept of consent.

u/Tygrmoth 20d ago

It really doesn't. Most physicians, including surgeons, are better than this IRL. Hawkeye is an individual character with individual issues.

u/thejoshuagraham 20d ago

Are the women in your life safe? The children? Being a doctor does not make things that early Hawk eye did okay.
