[@wolfgang6442]

Haillee stienfield as Kate bishop is by far the perfect mcu casting by far for she nails the character an her and Clint Barton are a nice pairing in the show

[@bug.bugsssss555]

And her on-screen chemistry with Jeremy is very natural. 👌👌👌

[@ebelesaurus2]

By far

[@Metal1216]

Far by

[@callmepsycho3132]

Idk about that chief

[@puckisland8247]

Yh she's a great casting like Tom Holland as Spiderman and rdj as iron man, I think everybody is else is somewhat replaceable imo.

[@alvinkoeswanto8622]

I like her background story. She's a genuine angel.

[@jeannguyen3199]

Just like Hailee Steinfeld herself.

[@thebandwagonfanpodcast]

Kate Bishop is a such a great character. Her background feels so grounded in reality and hopefully it's something that can resonate with audiences of the show. Also, her first "uniform" has Huntress vibes, though an obvious callback to OG Hawkeye.

[@saturncrush]

I was a fan of the new Avengers and read a few on the initial run. Kate Bishop was cool, but other then her financing the team I could not believe she was the next Hawkeye. Hawkeye eyes and hand coordination is damn near in the same level as Bullseye. Her being a factor was just not believable.

[@chrischen0709]

Yeah I totally relate to growing up in a penthouse in New York surrounded by wealthy people

[@thebandwagonfanpodcast]

@@chrischen0709 My initial response to the character was, "Oh no, you're New York penthouse rich, your life must be so hard." But then the first episode brought the loss of a parent, destruction of home, and a hostile alien invasion. Then I was like, "Okay, that's a decent amount of trauma, I'm in."

[@SYM-BIONIC]

I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE SEES THE SIMILARITES TO THE HUNTRESS SUIT. When I was reading Young Avengers I was just like "okay, pop off helena bertinelli" 😂

[@m.d.steele585]

Well someone's parents are related

[@rushmaverick1923]

Kate's original costume with the Mockingbird mask kinda makes her look like Huntress from the DC Universe. Also, after hearing her full backstory about being sexually-assaulted, I can see why they had her be approached by Jessica Jones. Plus she kinda reminds me a little of Mia Dearden aka Speedy from the DC Universe.

[@Mayhem.jester]

U know what's funny is mockingbird was originally gonna be named huntress but dc got to it first

[@seanraines5871]

@@Mayhem.jester I did not know. That is interesting

[@jackpelaez5679]

I’m liking Kate Bishop, she’s got tons of potential!

[@creeper4481]

Hopefully we get the Young Avengers after the Disney Plus shows are finished.

[@Supermario19001]

@@creeper4481 the actors are still pretty young so there is still a possibly of that happen.

[@ChronoNeko]

I'm really hoping her and Yelena hit it off!

[@B00s3]

@@creeper4481 Definitely! Maybe a Young Avengers vs Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers movie. We just have to get Cassie Lang, Wiccan, Speed and Patriot. The last three have kinda been setup already, just need some ground work on Cassie. Maybe we get an Iron Lad/Young Kang??

[@adrianrammirez]

@@creeper4481 she did look at Kevin Feige in surprise when a press asked her about it.

[@lg_1226]

I hope she gets her own movie or show. She has great chemistry with almost everyone she interacts with (Yelena, Clint, Eleanor) I want to see her interact with Peter Parker! Can’t wait to see more of her

[@knytewing3107]

I knew Hailee Steinfeld was going to be Kate Bishop when fans wanted her to be. I read about her and the young avengers back in high school and I can relate to her. So I saw the first two episodes of Hawkeye and I'm loving it.

[@corymaxwell2188]

I really want to ask how you relate to her but I won't

[@xtra35cent]

Since they introduced him in falcon and winter soldier, I can't wait to see kate interact with Isaiah Bradley

[@ShadowRavencroft]

Hawkeye is my favorite MCU series so far. As he is my favorite Marvel character

[@MazeDaGr8]

I think Kate Bishop and Artemis would be good friends

[@wolfgang6442]

I think so too

[@ajeshnilata1540]

To me I think Artemis and Kate Bishop are evenly matched

[@sladetuner8661]

and Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) Too!

[@danofsteel9092]

I'm loving the show so far, and Kate is growing on me as a character! She's cool and super charming! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@dasaiyantv8483]

Hey Arris! Did you read Robin and Batman yet? I absolutely loved it and think you should cover it!

[@jorgecarbajal8076]

Although this was primarily focused on Kate Bishop, I really liked the parts with Cassie Lang, and I really hope we get to see them interact in the MCU.

[@MostlyJoshin]

This was a great dive into the character's history! Kate is such a nuanced character and we can all only hope that the series lives up to the comics.

[@rawtheran9319]

I was actually just searching for this video to see if you guys had done one on Kate Bishop in the past and here it is lol thanks so much Arris as always!

[@alisonsmith4436]

Thank you so much for the great video 😀

[@aaronmichael6792]

Bro the way you just read verbatim the comics makes for a very jarring video format. I’ve always loved your videos but this has been on my mind for a while and I mean it all out of love!

[@Kinochan28]

I´ve been watching a lot of videos about her today and I´m already so invested I love her

[@cassiusfelix2805]

I love her origin story. It's so simple. All these comic book characters be having these crazy origin stories so it's nice to see something more grounded and realistic. It's a nice change of pace.

[@aidandoyle3570]

I appreciate that they didnt have her fall into a tub of radioactive arrows so suddenly she gets the ability to be a good shot w a bow and arrow 😭 lmfaooo

[@franciscomaytoreable]

Always enjoy your channel and can't wait for more have a great one 🤙🤙🤙

[@marvelsProtege]

Don't people think that having the ability to never miss is a superpower in itself?

[@sepakvolley07]

She's missed (at one point) , actually. Its not like Deadshot level of aimbot

[@marvelsProtege]

@@sepakvolley07 I meant for him but that's their thing never missing doesn't mean they never have

[@alyssa2651]

That’s so interesting!! I can’t wait to see how they tie in the comic version of Kate into the mcu version!!

[@soundsofstabbing3627]

so, Wiccan and Speed were already introduced in the Disney plus shows along with patriot, Kate Bishop, and kid loki, Cassie is now older after the blip, hulkling could show up in she-hulk or secret invasion, and there are other young characters like ms. marvel, spider-man, and iron heart pretty soon. is it just me or are we going to get an mcu version of the young avengers?

[@cklambo]

Obviously

[@Mary_Studios]

Who was Patriot? I'm assuming we saw him in Falcon and the Winter Solider but other than that I don't know who they are.

[@casualcouch9459]

This is a great video but I ive always had a love for doctor strange and the fantastic 4 but never could find anyone or a video with recommendations of the best for these characters without spoilers if anyone knows any would help me out greatly also I tend to favor more darker stories as well

[@kaodik]

Very dope!

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?

[@axy7649]

Seeing you everywhere with an average 3-5 comments per video I have seen. Idk if I should be impressed or worried XD

[@sodapants3328]

My suggestions same reading order but he is missing Hawkeye by Matt fraction. That’s where she and Clint team up and share the roll. Very eye catching comic it is what the tv show is based off of and very much is her own story aswell and continues to the last two books
