To be fair, given the comics, Jack Duquesne being sus wasn’t that big a stretch - especially when you consider he was Clint’s mentor.

[@johngona5929]

Now that is a holy f*ck moment. 2022 looking great so far.

[@Peter_Wendt]

Yeah, he and the original Power Man kept trying to straight-up murder Avengers.

[@childeaterieatkidz4208]

LOL yeah but I doubt MCU jack will be a villian at any point he's just there to make you smile yes he's funny but he's such a nice well meaning guy who was genuinely excited to be Kate's step dad 😂😂

[@jacktherripper]

Shout out to all of the Step Dads out there!! You the real unseen heroes.

[@beninmalgaard9836]

I'm actually really glad he turned out to be good. I hope we get to see more of him in the future.

[@ddgarcy]

This character is the best. I hope they don’t send him down the wrong path like in the comics. He’s such a better hero

[@MisterJRyanYouTube]

This guy is one of my all time favourite actors! He killed it in better call Saul and in Hawkeye, he’s so likeable and just oozes charisma

[@capycapy8920]

Jack: *Bought a cool sword for his collection* Kate: "This is an Avenger-level threat"

This is where Lalo went to when he died, a hell worse than we can imagine. The Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[@epicfan1598]

MCU isn't the same after the infinity saga Imo

[@jesusrox0903]

I honestly don't feel like there was ever any reason to suspect Jack. I know they made him out to be, but it was so telegraphed. That said, he was my favorite character on the show, full of great characters. I love Jack. I don't want him to be overused, but I do hope we see him again.

[@benwasserman8223]

The big suspicion came from his namesake. In the comic Jack (i.e. Jacque) is known as the Swordsman, an anti-villain who actually trained Clint in swordplay and weapons, so he was a big red herring.

[@shinyhunterchris]

@@benwasserman8223 as a non-comic reader, i'd say for most of us it was probably the sword being what killed him, the timing(right after eleanor being threatened), and the butterscotch from Armand's house

[@lanceareadbhar]

To be fair, Marvel does telegraph their villians all of the time. I had a feeling he was innocent though when he suggested playing Stratego.

[@claudius3359]

@@benwasserman8223I do think he IS Swordsman,but right now,he doesn't do anything interesting yet....

[@CaligoArye]

@@benwasserman8223 the only thing I would have changed would have been Jack remembering running into Clint at a Circus for a really random reason and being a little hurt that Clint didn't think that the moment changed his life. lol

[@ShinTheNameNotThePart]

This is all fun and great, but I thought it was interesting how Tony Dalton (Jack's actor) also plays Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul. In BCS, he's actually kind of a scary guy. But here, he's just happy to be involved in something. His range is insane lol.

[@jamesbell1613]

They are both dapper, happy go lucky though in different ways.

[@nocturnal7345]

Last episode of Season 6 part 1; yeah, he's way beyond just a scary guy.

[@stepha2642]

What made this so great is that he is also Lalo. So people automatically suspected him of being evil. That's good casting.

[@cholze9146]

Jack seems like the nice guy, really hope his variant in the multiverses are not the cartel boss who shot lawyer in the head. Bien Hecho man!!!

[@PedroArnaiz]

I don't see him as Jack, i see him a Lalo Salamanca

[@nikosfilipino]

"Have you ever heard of Werner Ziegler?"

[@state_of_sam]

What’s he up to man what’s he doing?

[@epicfan1598]

whoops wrong universe

[@stepha2642]

It's Lalo if he was given a sword and calmed down.

[@Ali-xs2ij]

From a scary and charming villain in Better Call Saul to a dork in Hawkeye. Tony Dalton is so good.

[@sithlordsoup]

Rip Howard Hamlin.

[@TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

I'm glad Kate apologized to Jack. I just wanted to give him a hug after all the suspicion.

[@MrFeastablesChocolate]

“It’s that f###ing lalo Salamanca that psychopath came back from the dead!”

[@BattleAngelRamona]

"He did this! Not us, him!"

[@TroubledMindsX]

Jack is a fan of the princess bride and no one can convince me otherwise

[@SarahBaird-io2tn]

I see it

Now he's in the mcu, there really is nothing this Lalo guy can't do

[@presenceaboveall7882]

I think he is becoming one of my favorite actors especially after seeing him on better call Saul he became my favorite villain on both shows better call Saul and breaking bad.

[@ajitthapa7872]

Lalo salamanca: when you face him as main villian. Jack: when you unlock him as playable character.

[@mikey724]

Technically speaking he can be the swordmaster for the new Hawkeye if she ever needed more training on the sword 🗡️🗡️

[@shmavster4209]

I love how he’s literally Lalo Salamanca if he wasn’t a psychopath

[@jackyc311_]

hes actually fucking hilarious 😂😂

[@finger420]

Nice to see Lalo climbed out of the meth lab and escaped to the MCU. Leaving Howard behind

[@ronin7561]

This guy looks like he's good friends with a lawyer

[@Reverse_Goat]

I wished there was a reference like where lalo said "I better call a really good lawyer"

[@dr_outcast9385]

this is the universe where Lalo called the hoover max guy instead of revenge

[@Raleyg]

In hindsight I can’t help but feel bad for him. He just wanted to marry and be a good stepdad and he ended up being framed for the murder of his uncle by his own fiancé

[@parzival3315]

Jack calling her “sweetie” and just wanting to be a stepdad to Kate🥺

[@hopeful9431]

He's a genius at sword fight. First I thought he's a villian character. But I mistaken, you're amazing. Jack!!!

[@TheSecondVersion]

Kate: "So you're into fencing?" Jack: "I dabble." Commisar Danilov: "Do you know how to shoot?" Vasily Zaitsev: "A little."

[@cynthiazhang]

his "hello sweetie" to kate in the finale was so sweet ❤

[@DJ_Music_Man2]

Better call Saul is so good that it makes me actually fear all the actors in other projects
