Also on the idea that Hawkeye says that black widow killed Ronin, this is meant to be seen as the “Ronin” persona “died” when black widow went to find Clint in tokyo and tell him about the plan to save his family and those who got blipped. So with Clint now having hope and everyone returning, he has no reason to be ronin again. Someone has also mentioned that Clint possibly marks the success of bringing everyone back as the death of ronin and attributes it to black widow’s sacrifice on vormir

[@DomoftheDoctor]

Even though I get the logic of Swordsman being the one in the Ronin suit who killed Echo's dad, I would prefer it to still be Clint. The person he was as Ronin was absolutely capable of killing that group, and to take that away would lessen the obstacles Clint would face in defeating Echo. "Oh, I didn't kill your father, but I would have given the chance" would be disappointing when you could just have him be the real killer. My personal theory is that he was somehow tipped off by Kingpin (maybe not knowing it's Kingpin who gave him the information). That would complicate matters for Echo in an interesting way, and would be a cool spin on her story in the comics.

[@hollandscottthomas]

Yeah, Kingpin could absolutely set up the Tracksuit Mafia if they weren't working out for him.

[@TheAnthonyG.]

I thought it was already pretty hinted at that it was actually him who killed them unless I'm looking at it wrong.

[@bojacknorseman9009]

Ugh, I had not at all thought of this before, but of course it will revealed to be Swordsman who the Kingpin used to eliminate Echo’s dad. But that’s just so much less rich than it actually being Hawkeye who is responsible for the death of her father.

[@Rebelrose]

@@SamUHells Yeah. Like in the episode, he acknowledges that she's a good archer. Is that really woke? To have a mentor like figure acknowledge their underling? And even then, any time she's shown to be cocky or overconfident in her abilities, it backfires on her. The "woke" thing to do would be to prove that she's better than everyone. And is the series sorta tackling or featuring disabilities like being deaf and missing a limb really woke? I sorta relate this to Eternals. I haven't seen it yet but what I don't understand was people hating on Marvel for the diverse or multi-racial cast... Like was every character supposed to be white or.?

[@TheDelinear]

It turns out a bunch of people who claim to be comic fans but have only ever watched the movies sure start to show their true colours when the relatively large diversity of the comics begins to even slightly trickle over into the movies. Can you just imagine if they'd given us comic book Kate right off the bat? XD What I find really funny is that they all complained at Shang-Chi about Katy's proficiency with a bow having spent only a day or two training, and they were insistent it's not because she is a woman it's just the training thing. So the MCU is like okay, here's a woman who has spent over a decade training, and they still whine about her. Apparently the amount of training wasn't the issue at all, who could have guessed?

We've gotten to have different perspectives on things in the past, we've got some fun action, and the dynamic between Clint and Kate is great, and it's nice to just deal with some street-level people instead of the world/universe/multiverse being threatened again.

While there's been hints of it in the previous two episodes, the visual syntax of this one--particularly with scenes like Echo's flashbacks--is closer to the stylistic aspects of the Netflix shows than anything that we've seen in an MCU product since. The lighting, muted/obscured action (i.e. the blood from Ronin's kill-slice on the window), the relatively 'flat' framing during conversations... it's a bit weird seeing it in the same show that has a forty-foot arrow crushing a truck, but if this is Marvel's way of re-grounding things for the rumored DD redux and other 'ground-level' shows in that format, then they're doing a great job of trotting it out in earnest.

[@craigcoleman1706]

I absolutely LOVE Hawkeye ... he's by far my favourite avenger !!!

[@khyrie5704]

I'm enjoying this show more than any of the other MCU shows. It's actually may favorite MCU show so far

[@khyrie5704]

Also, the pym particle arrow was so cool!

[@GothamClive]

Same here. I like that it's just a superhero-buddy-cop-show and not something "groundbreaking" or "deep" like the other shows. Just good superhero fun.

i think it's swordsman who killed the tracksuit upper members, assuming kingpin and him survived snap they probably heard the ronin running around used that noise to trim out their unwanted members.

[@andrewshandle]

I was thinking this too. Those guys seem very low level for Clint to be going after considering we hear him killing drug cartels in South America and we see him taking out a Yakuza boss in Endgame. Killing someone in the mob while dressed as Ronin at that time would be a great way to throw off suspicion. It's hard to see, but I also don't think it's Ronin's sword in those scenes, it doesn't have the gaps in them like the one in the auction.

[@TheHenners1981]

My favourite series so far. It's fun and not heavy, dark or political like the others have been. There's nothing wrong with those but it's nice to have a break from it.

[@matthewgramz3648]

Agreed. It's the best series so far. It doesn't have a gimmick. It's just a simple story.

[@JOVONO]

The Ronan who took out the tracksuits and killed Echo’s father could have been the Swordsman but it could also have been Kazimierz Kazimierczak (Kazi the Clown) so if that’s the case Echo could feel extra betrayed and turns good leading into her own series

[@joshhood7624]

There are so many possibilities for who was in the suit! It's a legit mystery I'm nested in. I think it being Clint would be the most interesting story since it's a consequence of his criminal murder-spree he’ll have to recon with before the end of the series but it Bing someone working for Fisk would set up Echo's journey from criminal to hero really well.

[@nvcomics]

It was Clint. Why else would he know so much about the Tracksuits and their Boss

[@_thomas1031]

I'm ABSOLUTELY loving this series so far, more than the other ones from Disney+. The ASL, the moments of emotion that aren't cut with generic mcu humor, the opportunity to bring over Kingpin & I'm loving Echo's character especially knowing that the actress herself is deaf & has a prosthetic, really inspiring. All so great!🙌🙌🙌

Great job from all three of you: James, Nick, and Mason.

[@Glettification]

I actually didn't notice it during the episode but that is almost certainly not Ronin killing the Tracksuit Mafia. It doesn't look like there's any gold trimming on the suit and they're wearing a sheath for their sword, which we know Ronin doesn't because the sword has a collapsible blade. I would say that it could be a very early version of his gear but that doesn't fit with Echo being the same age. I do wonder if it could be a twist on the Swordsman character. I think it's too obvious that he's a villain but it's almost certain that Kate's mother is crook. Maybe Swordsman has actually been working up from the Tracksuits and is trying to infiltrate and take out the corrupt members, and he threatened Kate because he thinks she's wrapped up in her mother's business?

[@Zoper1409]

The sword actually does have a sheath in Endgame, the only reason its collapsable now is so Jack could steal it.

[@Glettification]

@@Zoper1409 Rewatching the Yakuza scene, you're right that it does. I was mistaken because the sheath isn't on his back when he draws the sword from it, like it is in the Tracksuit scene.

[@TheDelinear]

@@Zoper1409 I wish they'd had him throw it in a duffle bag or something instead. This is the worst addition the show has made because just why? It feels like a "hey this would be super cool" addition without respecting the world building. The only way this could even work is some kind of nano-tech, but if we assume Ronin's sword couldn't do this in its last appearance before Clint stopped being Ronin, then why would Tony make that upgrade? And if we assume it could do this all along, why was Clint using the sheath? It's just a bad addition. Same deal with Razorfist's arm in Shang Chi - like some mid level grunt has presumably access to nano-tech or something?

[@Pocholen]

In the video "Daredevil will be Awesome" from 6 years ago you said they should do a Hawkeye series adapting My Life As A Weapon. That's great foreshadowing! Or maybe they saw your video and got the idea

[@Evol_lov3]

For a second I thought the Uncle Kingpin was a misdirect and it was going to be be revealed that it’s actually Dreykov. It would make sense that she would be groomed to be another Taskmaster. Also, it would tie the whole Yelena hunting Clint down thing together kinda nicely. But then I realized that no loving father would hand over his daughter to a psychopath like Dreykov.

[@VariablePenguin]

I'm really liking this show so far. It's a lot of fun and fun to theorize who is a villain and who isn't.

I like to imagine he uses the USB arrow all the time in the most inappropriate situations. Like he's chilling at home and his wife asks if he has a USB stick she can use to transfer some work files and he's like, "I'll get my bow!"

[@InspectorSpacetime333]

Uncle is DEFINITELY going to be a random aerospace engineer who we don't care about.

[@nessart94]

Some subtle nods to Echo’s look in the comics… when we first start her flashback there is a handprint on the wall, and when she is cradling her dad’s body he leaves a bloody handprint on the side of her face. Both referencing the painted white handprint Echo has on her face in the comics.

[@REaDComicsau]

Why is everyone thinking it was some else wearing the Ronin suit? IT WAS CLINT, he spent 5 years killing criminals as Ronin, and that time has consequences explored in this show. Why would it be anyone else?

[@calo2195]

I think it would be way more compelling if it was actually Clint who killed Echo's father, and not someone else. So far, being Ronin has had no consequences for Clint. No criminal knows it was him, his wife's cool with it, the other Avengers don't seem to mind either

[@LorenzoDoesntExist]

Yeah, his wife is so down for that sorta thing lmao But yeah, I agree.

Did I miss something? When did he talk about being Ronin with his wife? Not that I’m surprised she’s be cool with it since she knows what he does for a living.

[@RamenCupBMG]

her dad is definitely coming back as the bad guy. she talked about how good of a guy he was and he inspired her which is a giant red flag.

[@TheDelinear]

Plus the symmetry of Echo, whose dad was a bad guy but seemed like a great dad, and then to find out that Kate's dad who seemed like a great dad will turn out to be a bad guy - I definitely feel like this is where we're going. They're giving us the sword master as the "he's too obvious to be the bad guy" to make people suspect the mom, which is why I think the dad will be the real villain all along. The mom was gone for a long time in that initial scene with the battle, I'm betting we'll get a flashback where he suggests faking his death to get out of their money woes and he'll have been pulling strings behind the scenes.

[@mamaluso]

I think he is coming back based on the jet black dye job of his hair in episode 1. Why try and make someone look "younger" in a flash back if you aren't going to show him in present day with gray hair?

Could Kate’s step dad have been the one who killed echo’s dad wearing the Ronin costume, he is the swordsman so he could’ve been working with kingpin to take out the sweatsuit mafia as a power move🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean, her dad didn’t die like a day ago, and the ronin costume has only been out there for about a day or two now

[@FlynnTheRedhead]

Also, Jack never had the Ronin suit

[@TheDelinear]

I dunno if I buy the step dad as the hitman in the suit. He seemed to have no interest in the real Ronin suit at the auction, only the sword. You'd think if he'd taken on the persona before, he'd at least have a brief glance at the suit or some kind of acknowledgement. Anything is possible I guess.

[@PatLund]

So far I'm loving this show. I think it's my second favorite D+ MCU series after Loki as of now.
