I love how the entire plotline of Hawkeye is essentially started just because Kate got nosy with Jack who just wanted to add another sword to his collection.
The best part about Jack is, in the comics, The Swordsman has been both a villain and a hero, so even as if you're a comic fan, you couldn't be sure what side he was going to fall on in this.
That's part of why I had so much fun with this show, having read almost all the Kate bishop comics and the Ronin comics, I had 0 fkn clue which side he was gonna fall on, AND THEY TOTALLY HAD ME FOOLED HAHA
In the comics, Jack (The Swordsman) was first introduced as enemy of the Hawkeye, but it seems they just skipped that in the show. He even became an Avenger at some point.
I love how this is the same guy who gave us Lalo Salamanca. Tony Dalton has just as much fun playing a truly evil bad guy as he does a lovable buffoon. He is an incredible actor!!
@@Ajvt-ux4ec wasn’t zemo just a regular guy who’s family gets buried by the debris of Sokovia, and therefore blames the avengers? Edit: not just a regular guy, but a Sokovian intelligence agent who hunted hydra agents
@@matityaloran9157 exactly, the mom was sus #1 for me from the beginning 🙊 cus I can't take the suspense 🙈 So I went looking for spoilers and I learnt she was madame mask in the comics and Hawkeye (Clint) said some about the big guy(Wilson Fisk). Kingpin is associated with Maya Lopez and Madame Mask. I read "My life as a weapon" too, it has really nice art work.
yup. he's like a classy southern European and intelligent version of forrest gump who's really good at swords instead of pingpongs.... and prefers butterscotch over chocolate. or a adult kid who just likes swords. haha
Jack’s such a stoic if you think about it: Is really passionate and skilled with swords but doesnt brag or flaunt it. Repeatedly is mocked and attacked but stays in control of his emotions. Honed a set of skills (cooking, socializing, romance) that makes him useful in the community. Is calm, straight forward and very genuine in all his interactions.
I recommend a series by this actor, Sr. Ávila or Mr. Avila in the U.S., it is from HBO Latinamerica and it is a series produced in Mexico, it is very good. The first season is slow, but it improves in the second and third
Jack is a perfect example of a red herring done right. Breaking the stereotype of a literal moustache twirling villain. I for one was really shocked when it turned out to be eleanor the entire time. Really hope we get to see more of him in future mcu instalments as well as pizza dog and the dynamic duo of Kate and Yelena
Oh, I thought Eleanor was the villain right from the get go when she was having that argument in the first scene. When she next turned up in red, well, that just did it for me. I had my eyes on her as a likely villain the whole time. haha.
Glad to have a Jack appreciation post. I really loved how they didn't just make him the bad guy and went with a different approach, he ended up being better than her own mother.
Irony. The “stepfather” turned out to be better than the mother. Gonna use quotes for stepfather because now that Eleanor is in jail, Jack probably won’t be Kate’s stepfather lol. Especially because he was framed by Eleanor.

As much as I want that, this whole show was about Kate getting a father daughter relationship with Hawkeye (there were larger themes but still) maybe he's like a weird Unlcle lol.
Me at the start of the series : oh yeah right he's just a guy who "likes" swords . Yeah right sure totally believable. 🙄 Me at the end : ohhhhh , so he IS just a guy who likes swords
I like how Jack is basically the opposite of Lalo he appears to be a bad guy but he’s actually a really nice and fun loving guy whereas Lalo comes off as decent and good natured on the surface but then you realize that he really does take after his family
Next season of Hawkeye, we're gonna have Jack leading the LARPers to Kate and Yelena's rescue. "Don't worry girls, the cavalry's here!" And rich man that he is, they may actually show up on horseback.
"He's on our side, but we should probably get him out of here too." This series is 100% A+ material start to finish. Disney+ really hit a homerun with this guy
The funny thing is, the whole time we thought he was a bad guy, he just wanted a cool sword lol. Jack: I want Ronin’s sword. Everyone: Oh my god, he must have bad intentions with that sword. Jack: that sword is so cool.
Like me in every rpg. I just want a cool sword. And some armor. I don’t care about saving the world or finding a lost child or collecting chickens. But if I get a cool sword…
If you've ever seen Tony Dalton play Lalo Salamanca (villain in Better Call Saul), it would be hard to see him being anyone else because he played Lalo so well. Jack has a very similar charm to him that Lalo has so it's easy to assume that he will play a very similar type of character prior to the twist.
@@chefboiarby304 yes I thought he was gonna be a villain. Marvel studios probably left us on our toes on purpose to fuck with us Bc they knew we would think that !
I actually enjoyed the revelation that No, he didn't buy the Ronin sword cause he's super shady, he wanted the Ronin sword cause it's retractable and he could take it with him everywhere he went.
Part of me wanted Kate to celebrate Christmas with Jack at the end. Just chilling, and geeking out over random combat stuff. The ending we got makes more sense overall, but the heart wants what it wants.
Jack Getting the Ronin Sword What people thought How it was going: He is stealing it to do villainous stuff How it went: “A fine addiction to my collection”
Its like how he was made to seem like the villain but through his interactions with Kate's mom, you can tell he clearly is in love and cares for her. Its nice seeing a step parent relationship that you can imagine actually working well
Just goes to show you how shows can manipulate you into hating people just by how they’re framed in a story and not even by anything they actually did Love Jack, he is just living his best life 👏🏼
A great example is the butterscotch "clue". Um, hello, he's the guy's nephew and clearly knew him on an everyday basis. It's not all that suss that he'd have his uncle's personally branded butterscotch.
Like I'm Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Everyone hated the new ex-captain america before he even said or did anything bad. All be cause of that smile when he was revealed
Seeing this again now that I've almost finished BCS made me think Tony Dalton is an incredible actor. From a complete psycho like Lalo to a guy like Jack. Mad respect.
Dude became a stepdad, and after having the normal sus phase, (that unfortunately got him put in jail for a bit) he got to spend quality time with his step daughter while engaging in his favorite hobby. Seriously at 2:16 he is living his best life. I can not feel bad for this guy, he had a bit of a rough go for a bit then he got to see his mountain top.
@@fabooshka it's still being In jail. Especially for Jack man he had to be bored out of his mind he had no swords or butterscotch to entertain himself with
In hawkeye he's the guy who seems evil at first but turns out he's actually pretty chill. In better call saul he seems like a chill guy at first but he's actually the devil himself
I rewatched the show and realized how many times he actually said aphorisms wrong in the first couple of episodes. He says like 3 different ones in the first episode.
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.
Is... is Jack the best Dad in the MCU? Hear me out. He's a loving husband, he took the time to study how to be a better stepfather, he respects Kate's boundaries and is always empathetic, he engages in her interests (and tries to boost her self esteem by not trying to one up her), he becomes friends with Kate's friend AND he literally was immediately understanding & forgiving when Kate got him arrested.
I don't think I could put one over the other, but I feel that Jack and Scott would be amazing friends to have a series of their own. Adventures of Fatherhood, a tale of two chill dudes.
@@Deepingmind Maybe they could be a supproting cast for Young Avengers? Stature is in a new Ant-Man movie, Hawkeye (Kate) is already there, this team is almost ready.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
@@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
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 😂😂
That scene of him stealing the sword just becomes adorable upon rewatch. We were led to believe he was up to something nefarious, when he just really wanted that sword

Only reason I found this!!

@@fabooshka it's still being In jail. Especially for Jack man he had to be bored out of his mind he had no swords or butterscotch to entertain himself with
Then Gus Fring killed him and his entire bloodline. Wait, wrong franchise
In hawkeye he's the guy who seems evil at first but turns out he's actually pretty chill.
In better call saul he seems like a chill guy at first but he's actually the devil himself
What’s Jack Duquesne and Mac Gargan doing in that show?
@@ricardoortiz4870 he's doing werner zieegler
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
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
I rewatched the show and realized how many times he actually said aphorisms wrong in the first couple of episodes. He says like 3 different ones in the first episode.
I'm actually really glad he turned out to be good. I hope we get to see more of him in the future.
He looks entirely different from Lalo. Even his voice is different. It's like they aren't even the same actor.
His “hello sweetie” was enough to convince me he was innocent
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.
Eitri: "I present Stormbreaker, the most powerful weapon in Asgard's history"
Jack: "That is an axe, not a sword. No thanks."
He's basically me in Skyrim, so many weapons and the only ones I use are swords.
Maybe instead of him training Hawkeye, perhaps Jack can train our current Hawkeye! Love that idea.
From a scary and charming villain in Better Call Saul to a dork in Hawkeye.
Tony Dalton is so good.
That moment where your evil step dad is just a sword guy with quite bad timing.
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!!!
hes actually fucking hilarious 😂😂
that "hello sweetie" prevented my suicide, thanks tony.
I'm glad Kate apologized to Jack. I just wanted to give him a hug after all the suspicion.
Is... is Jack the best Dad in the MCU? Hear me out. He's a loving husband, he took the time to study how to be a better stepfather, he respects Kate's boundaries and is always empathetic, he engages in her interests (and tries to boost her self esteem by not trying to one up her), he becomes friends with Kate's friend AND he literally was immediately understanding & forgiving when Kate got him arrested.
well yes, but Scott Lang.
@@dsdy1205 I say he's right behind Ant-Man
I don't think I could put one over the other, but I feel that Jack and Scott would be amazing friends to have a series of their own. Adventures of Fatherhood, a tale of two chill dudes.
@@Deepingmind Maybe they could be a supproting cast for Young Avengers? Stature is in a new Ant-Man movie, Hawkeye (Kate) is already there, this team is almost ready.
@@sinistertwister686 That is an amazing idea!
I don't see him as Jack, i see him a Lalo Salamanca
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.
They are both dapper, happy go lucky though in different ways.
Last episode of Season 6 part 1; yeah, he's way beyond just a scary guy.
What made this so great is that he is also Lalo. So people automatically suspected him of being evil. That's good casting.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
@@benwasserman8223I do think he IS Swordsman,but right now,he doesn't do anything interesting yet....
@@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
This is where Lalo went to when he died, a hell worse than we can imagine.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe.
MCU isn't the same after the infinity saga Imo
Jack: *Bought a cool sword for his collection*
Kate: "This is an Avenger-level threat"
Stole*
@@ohf27 Just buying but without the paying part
Everyone: Thats an eveners level threat
It's Lalo if he was given a sword and calmed down.
Lalo salamanca: when you face him as main villian.
Jack: when you unlock him as playable character.
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.
Now that is a holy f*ck moment. 2022 looking great so far.
Yeah, he and the original Power Man kept trying to straight-up murder Avengers.
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 😂😂
Everyone else : Blah Blah Blah Kate, Hawkeye, Jack
Me: What does Lalo Salamonca want with a sword? UH OH!
Rip Howard Hamlin.
Technically speaking he can be the swordmaster for the new Hawkeye if she ever needed more training on the sword 🗡️🗡️
this is the universe where Lalo called the hoover max guy instead of revenge
If Lalo Salamanca had a good heart
Now he's in the mcu, there really is nothing this Lalo guy can't do
Hes playing the long game
What’s Jack Duquesne and Mac Gargan doing in that show?
Lalo vs Thanos
@@connor28punaladas92 lalo mid diff
@@Darkknight-yn7jx*neg diff
Nice to see Lalo climbed out of the meth lab and escaped to the MCU. Leaving Howard behind
2:44 jack is having the time of his life
Kate: "So you're into fencing?"
Jack: "I dabble."
Commisar Danilov: "Do you know how to shoot?"
Vasily Zaitsev: "A little."
“It’s that f###ing lalo Salamanca that psychopath came back from the dead!”
"He did this! Not us, him!"
I love how he’s literally Lalo Salamanca if he wasn’t a psychopath
Lalo really turned his life around!!!
Jack is a fan of the princess bride and no one can convince me otherwise
I see it
Jack calling her “sweetie” and just wanting to be a stepdad to Kate🥺
his "hello sweetie" to kate in the finale was so sweet ❤
I love this actor. He's also amazing in Better call Saul!
The Lalo energy is off the charts.
That scene of him stealing the sword just becomes adorable upon rewatch. We were led to believe he was up to something nefarious, when he just really wanted that sword
