Great to see the return of the supportive, non-wet blanket spouse in Laura Barton! Quite possibly the rarest of all characters in all of movies, because writers seem to love to pair together the protagonists with people who constantly try and tell them not to do things they need to do because it creates "conflict" when in reality it's just annoying. For that reason alone she's a great character.

[@eastvandb]

Totally!

[@WolfieXp]

I'm also extra glad they didn't go for that obvious cliché route because of how much it would have contradicted her character. She went into the relationship knowing this, agreed to keep their relationship a secret and agreed to live in and raise kids in a safehouse off the grid, as well as having been with him for many years, presumably longer than any other MCU couple. It would make no sense for her to create conflict around him doing hero stuff at this point, in the same way even Pepper (who is naturally a more stubborn person) still let go of this by the time she and Stark had been together for a while

[@thisisnotme33]

[@oscarbautista6840]

I'm glad you addressed the whole David Aja thing. He has said before that even if Fraction is credited as writer and him as the artist they both consider their run as a mutual effort. To see your work copied on screen and getting almost no credit and definitely no money is a fucking shame, and they should pay him at least for the key visual aspects clearly inspired by his work.

[@camerongodsey9847]

Tons of creators have been completely stepped over with the MCU, and it’s shameful. The whole comic industry is abysmal towards creatives. Many have said they earned more money for minor creations than they have for characters like Jubilee or Gambit.

[@teyrns]

I bet their excuse is that "visual style" is not easily itemized for a paycheck. You can put numbers to words in a book but how do you quantify the visual direction of an entire character? And they don't want to even think about that or throw out a random number. I hope Aja gets everything he deserves and more, the guy is a genius.

[@Meme_Lor]

Apparently the creator of Thanos was paid more for KGB's appearance in Batman v Superman than Infinity War and Endgame

[@Clay3613]

They're getting paid, only one of them got credits though. The tweets he's making are about Marvel not paying creators royalties for the comics.

[@bigblueboyscout4795]

I find this show and it’s relationship to the Fraction/Aja run so interesting. Fraction and Aja created the definitive look, tone, and characterizations for Clint and Kate and I don’t think anyone would argue that. But that comic came out in 2013, just a year after the first Avengers film. Had Hawkeye not been introduced into the MCU until later, you know they would’ve looked at that book for inspiration. Instead we have this very different Hawkeye, pulling loosely from his Ultimate version, put into a story that in the comics revolves around a very different Clint Barton (single, self-destructive mope vs family man). I think the show does a good job considering that challenge.

[@Mario_Angel_Medina]

I like how open Clint Barton seems to be with his wife. Most action heroes try to keep their espouses on the dark about any dangerous situation they may be in but he doesn't. She knows who he goes against, she knows what he plans to do, good communication is the basis for a good marriage... of course she may not know about all the people he murdered as Ronin, but still, if we grade on a curve, Hawkeye is among the best spy-husbands on film and tv

I have a theory the mom killed the dad and the old man. Jack is innocent and literally just a sword collector while the mom was gone for quite a while when the chitari invaded. I am betting she killed the dad when she sent kate to get checkers and the chitari invasion was an unplanned but perfect coverup.

[@TheDelinear]

That makes sense - the mom was gone for an awfully long time when the battle started before she thought to go to Kate. Maybe she found the dad wounded from the explosion and decided to... help nature take its course.

[@Rob-lw8to]

I think that because he came out as iron man, the truth about that event came out. My interpretation is that stane came from a wealthy family of executives/philanthropists and it was named after an ancestor. It seems strange that an old building would be renamed for a modern beneficiary.

They are using Jack's known villainy as a red herring. Kate's mother is the villain and probably is Madame Masque, as opposed to just working for her. And Kate's dad is definitely not dead.

I've never read these comics but that twist seemed obvious and that's what the uncle found out and was threatening her over.

[@stefansamoyloff3866]

I think the LARP scene is such a payoff from "The couple days, maybe a week of Ultron" scene where his wife talks about how the "gods" in the Avengers need him. If Tony Stark went to get the suit back from that guy we would be seeing it as a villain's origin story.

2:50 I beg your pardon. In the comics they’re *both* incompetent. And that’s why I love them. They’re imperfect people who screw up a lot, but still fight the good fight. Also I’m pretty sure the reason why Clint wants the Ronin suit back is more that he doesn’t want someone to don the mantle again. Whether because they could misuse the name or, like in Kate’s case, because it puts a target on their back by all the gangs Hawkeye angered while acting as Ronin.

[@raptorxe726]

Regarding the in-universe retention of the name of “Stane Tower” on the university campus. The public is unaware of Obadiah Stane being Iron Monger, as his “turn” was all behind the scenes and only known about by Tony’s inner circle, probably some Stark employees that helped him assemble the suit, and SHIELD, who were also the ones to cover up his death with a fabricated story of a plane crash while on vacation. Without that insider knowledge there wouldn’t be a blatant in-universe reason to take down his name from any plaques or the like. I thought that perhaps Tony or Stark industries as a whole may have donated to the school in memory of Stane to further the cover up and to show that there wasn’t any bad blood between the former business partners, hence the plaque. However, and it’s a little hard to read, I think the plaque is dated 2006, which would put it couple years or better (depending on which MCU timeline you subscribe to) before the events of Iron Man 1 and the death of Stane. It would also likely say something more like “In Memory Of” instead of “In Honour Of” if it were in fact in regards to his death and I was simply incorrect about the date on the plaque. It may simply be that Stane himself donated to perhaps what might have been his old school before the events of Iron Man, hence the plaque. Or it’s very likely just meant to be a fun Easter Egg and people like myself are just try reading too far into it.

Jack isn’t played by Paul F Tompkins, it was Tony Dalton, the guys from better call saul

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

Echo probably wants that Avengers watch as a gift to her adoptive father; Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk.

[@ArlanKels]

Or it could be a nanite suit belonging to Tony.

@@ArlanKels Or it’s a tiny little glass cage that has a miniature John Krazinski inside.

Peter Parker: With great power comes great responsibility. Do I want this power? Do I deserve to wield it? Kate Bishop: LEEEEEEEROY JENKINS!

[@enzmondo]

You know how Val has a photo of Clint in the Ronin suit? I think that will play into the story later on. So it wouldn’t only be Yelena going after Clint to kill him, but also the rest of the rest of the criminal underworld.

[@mark1817]

12:47 I thought the watch was one of the watches from endgame?

[@BOS_C.O.]

Clint just wanting to go home and being tired of everyone's shit was such a mood

[@Oli.V]

I saw a post somewhere about ant man being in the musical being a reference to when he is in New York in 2012 in endgame, like maybe there’s a conspiracy theory in cannon that he was really there because someone saw him (but like the endgame 2012 isn’t the actual past I guess? Idk I hate their time travel explanation)

[@comicking428]

In the "All New Hawkeye" run, Kate was rescued by Hawkeye from an attack when she was younger.

[@Minenhle]

Yeah the bit where he can’t quiet pin where he lost his hearing was funny😂😂

[@CourtlandLess]

What a clear concise hr and a half where it tells Kate bishops story in a graceful way especially with that opening (hope to see it again) and through her beginning phases of training WITH AN AVENGER. Very solid start indeed, cannot wait for the kingpin rumors 👀

[@brucewayne1411]

Throwing in aunt may by anti hero was a brilliant bit of editing 👌👌

[@NovusDundus]

It's pretty good so far! It's not falling in to a lot of the same traps that most other new Marvel things do. Which is nice. Things feel earned and are properly established, characters have motivation and can actually grow. I'd give it a solid 7-8/10

[@Joviaero]

What traps are you referring to?

[@lishtins]

I like the artistic choices they made so far, like the funny little side comments in the show by characters.

[@mrskribble]

The suit has to be like fireproof or something, maybe it's made of cool Avengers/Stark tech or whatever. Otherwise it's just silly that it hasn't been destroyed yet. It was in the middle of that fire.

[@captainkiwi77]

Also, the combat feels very daredevil, with Kate getting tired the way she does, almost making the same tired wheezing as one Charlie Cox, and the way she evens the odds against multiple opponents by just knocking one out by flinging the bottle with her foot, and I’m pretty sure some of the sets used to go through the combat scenes were ones I’d seen before, just for like a couple frames it felt like I was having a stroke and I was going “I’m dead certain I’ve seen this kitchen before in a Netflix property”

[@captaindom2000]

her dad definitely faked his death because they’re going to have him come back with grey hair. you can’t tell me that that man doesn’t have dyed hair

[@MomFearsMyMusic]

"Auntie Hero" .... proof that RAW Collins deserves a raise.

[@HeisntLegend]

3 things. 1. I love this show so far and I'm truly not understanding the bashing it seems to be taking. 2. I object to Clint just willingly taking a full force bat swing straight to his Hawkeyes. 3. "Guys, I can see through the bag" might be the hardest I've laughed at a marvel joke in at least 5 years.

[@danielphilps4106]

The Stane building wouldn't be renamed because officially he died in a plane crash while on holiday, shield covered it up

[@CommentaryGroot]

Wouldn’t it be really funny if the watch is really important and at the end of the series we see Fisk go finally my favour watch.

[@willisryan4576]

"Aunty Hero" lol. Perfect Aunt May insert.

[@okminari]

I actually know the story regarding the jeremy renner app, two youtubers danny gonzales and drew gooden made a video poking fun at it a few years back (it had so many problems like stealing peoples money and jeremy regurgitating instagram posts) so loads and i mean loads of people raided the app and they literally had to take it down and stop it as a whole... jeremy is great as hawkeye not so much a human being lmao

[@Eternity131]

Clint wanting the suit is more like him trying to protect and prevent other people from wearing it to me like no one thinks that ronin was him and there’s no way to figure that out but I feel like the show showed why he wanted it.
