I mean imagine the trauma he must have. His best friend sacrificed herself so he wouldn’t have to. And his family disappeared in the blink of an eye and were gone for 5 years and then just returned some day. And in those 5 years he went on a killing spree, and on top of that he has now started to lose his hearing. So i understand if he’s a little tired of everything.
Did you or anyone else get the notion that he's playing a Hawkeye version of his character from Tag? Just abundantly wholesome and amazing at everything, from breaking a window and catching a molotov to incapacitating LARPers and even helping that guy out to look like a legend (The man who slew Clint in Single Combat!).
@C K Absolutely, especially in phase 3 they should've had one together to really build up to Endgame. I think that Black Widow hunting the Ronin should've been an entire movie with the reveal being that it's Clint and then her bringing him back to the light.
I think they're going to make Kate the hot mess, and then also just give her insight into his particular blind spots, cuz he's getting a little hyper fixated
I hated the LARP stuff, but loved LOVED Kate’s interactions, especially with the mustache-twirling Jack who’s very clearly a villain misdirect, though probably not a good guy
When Hailee was announced to play Kate, I was glad that my fancast came true because I knew she’d play Kate well. I always thought she would be the perfect casting for either Kate Bishop or (live action) Gwen Stacy.
The LARP scene was hilarious, I was laughing the whole time 😂😂 What I also loved is how he keeps no secrets from his wife, despite him going full darkside during the 5 years they were snapped he told her, and she is so supportive. Love their relationship.
He's a tried and true family man, many scum and villainy perished as a pincushion in lieu of them. I love even more so to add to the 'no secrets' part, she knows the (Avengers Allusion) "Catch and Release" is a Natasha play.
A LOT of this so far is pulling directly from the Matt Fraction and David Aja run of Hawkeye. From the stylized color intros and lots of arrow shapes in that, to Lucky the Pizza Dog, to Kate Bishop, hearing aid, and the Tracksuit Mafia (/Draculas). And yes, they say "bro" all the time in the comic, too. It's a wonderful read, if y'all get into that.
I just looked up the comic run and the fact that the Tracksuits so “Bro” all the time in that too makes me so happy. Can’t not laugh whenever they do that
I like how instead of getting arrows in his ear drums Clint just goes deaf from all the explosions and abuse he's gotten himself into in his line of work. Like age is def catching up to him. Ngl makes me wish they bring Deadpool into the MCU, the Merc with the Mouth talking to clint in sign language/ASL is one of my favorite moments with the Pool.
Just so you guys know the Intro from the first episode wasnt spoilers it was a quick infograph of her growing between the child intro and the 22 year old start to the show so you guys should definitely watch it, adds a little more info to her character
@@davidashton3671 I remember when Bullseye dressed up as Hawkeye and screwed up his image and then later on Hawkeye did the same with Bullseye since both have aimbots lmao
I'm betting on Vera Farmiga as the villain. I assume the reason Kate couldn't find her parents during the attack was because her mother killed or incapacitated her father, leaving the invasion to take the blame for his death. The fact that they're leaning in so hard on Tony Dalton looking like the villain is probably because he's a good red herring and a too-obvious suspect. I'm just hoping there's some really cool stuff for Swordsman coming out of this, because it would be terrible to waste Tony Dalton on one small role.
I said the same thing on another post, everything sus that Jack has done is just an awkward step dad trying to win over the kid. Even seeing him with the butterscotch makes sense as he's close with his uncle, they go to the same events and share interests We as the audience knows Kate is looking out for Armondo's killer and are projecting it on someone who Kate's suspects But the mum went missing at the start when the invasion happened, she threatened Armando with knowing her own people so may have killed him herself, which is also why she knows Jack is telling the truth because she knows what happens Also sus that Kate's mum knows armondo before Jack seeing that Kate knew Armondo as a kid, seems like a gold digger playing the long game as we know Armondo's kids have kids as we meet his great grandson
I have a feeling she is the money behind The Tracksuit mafia. She's been wearing red and she has a security company and it makes sense if the mafia works with her.
@@Jo_ovie are the tracksuit mafia tied to the people that attacked the black market auction, because I find it quite interesting how the building Elinore was in was attacked, but she was safely upstairs at the charity auction
It is also possible that the mafia can get hawkeye precise location using his cell phone (remember when kate access hawkeye location using bishop security app?)
Echo, the "manager" at the end, is indeed deaf Alaqua Cox, who plays the character, is also deaf (and also has a prosthetic leg) It's the second deaf character played by a deaf actress with Lauren Ridloff/Makkari in Eternals
Tracksuit mafia are in the comics and Fraction's Hawkeye series is one of the best runs I've ever read from Marvel, highly recommend it. I don't know how I feel about the characterisation of Kate so far. In the comics she was very much a character who saved herself and inspires Clint. Clint was her role model but because he was a normal guy without powers who still was a hero, and Clint gets really inspired by her. This dynamic is a bit different. So whilst I am enjoying a lot of the references I don't know how I full feel about it yet. (Pizza dog is sort of Clint and Kate's in the comics, I think Clint finds him during a confrontation with the tracksuit mafia and they're abusing him so Clint takes him to the emergency vet and inadvertently adopts him.)
You also need to keep in mind that their dynamic is kinda switched. In the comics Kate is more serious and Clint is the “goofy” mentor, but there’s a lot of stuff that prevent that from happening in the MCU. First, Clint is an already established character with a established personality, since the very first avengers movie, so they can’t change the fact that they made him a serious sarcastic kinda guy. There’s also the fact that he has gone through a lot of trauma. Second, it’s obvious that a lot of people watching the show would say it’s an “agenda” or find a way to get politics into it if Kate was the serious intelligent independent type of gal that she is in the comics, worse if they perceived Hawkeye as “less skilled” or dumb in any way (which he isn’t).
I just want Rick to know that the Vince Russo comment was absolutely loved. "Bro, what if we had a Hawkeye show bro but then we reveal that Antman was at Avengers 2012 in the musical bro but here's the thing, he was small the whole time bro so we didn't see him." - Russo probably.
The outro is an old school depeche mode instrumental called Christmas Island. It was a only released as a B side of the single for "A Question of Lust"
I think Jack Recognised Kate in the Ronin suit at the Auction. News came out the Ronin was at Armands house the night he died. He totally knew Kate was in Armands house, and if he DID kill Armand, this was totally an intimidation tactic.
I honestly have this feeling that Wilson Fisk will either show up in this show or be an Easter egg certain characters mention as it makes complete sense as to why he'd be involved considering how many criminal factions Clint took down as Ronin! If he doesn't show up, I still enjoy this show a lot ☺️
Jeremy Renner is great at comedy so I'm glad he gets to play that out. Thought of Loki show and LARPERs. When the guy was doing CHING sounds haha. Thinks the Mother is going to end up being villan.
Not sure if Blind Wave will notice and geek like I did, BUT: Kate's aunt's apartment building? It's Leon and Mathilda's original apartment building, where Mathilda's family died. The outside is the building front on the street, and Kate even stops her finger on Leon's old room number, 6D, and mashes it, then mashes all of the buttons to fake a pizza delivery. The inside? It's the hotel Chelsea, the same shooting location from Leon. Kate's aunt's room door is Mathilda's family's old room. The inside is a separate set. Hawkeye even suspiciously looks around like Leon does before closing the door to the apartment. Now, I'm going to show you my true form. When Hawkeye steals the fireman's outfit? It's from Keith Glascoe's Ladder unit in the FDNY. Ladder 54, which was on set for pyrotechnics in Leon. Keith played the nervous Stansfield guy Benny, that almost shot the guy in the hall right after Mathilda's family was murdered. Luc Besson hired him to just play an extra in Leon due to his enormous size. Keith was killed in the WTC collapse. Is it an homage and done to evoke the same tone and feel as Leon? Young girl impressed with an older badass and idolizes him and wants to join in and become like him? I I believe so.
13:20 - I would say guns because the main weapon throughout 95% of history was spears. Swords were always the secondary. However if you were guns vs spears, spears take it by far. 13:55 - Genghis Khan used bows tho so it wouldn't count.
Just yesterday I watched this series and I am very satisfied. But what a surprise for me when they used an immortal and time-forgotten song by the musical genius Alan Wilder and the legendary Depeche Mode - Christmas Island as the theme song for Echo. Totally the best. I'm totally excited :D
As far as I’m concerned, Jeremy Renee deserves his place in the spotlight. I mean, he’s already held it down as a spectacular movie star actor, so why not a TV Show actor? Also, mad props for his character Hawkeye finally getting his place in the sun by means of his own series. By the way, was that Echo at the end of the second episode?
The tracksuit mafia is a real thing in the comics and the "leader" that's not wearing the tracksuit is Echo, a woman who takes on the mantle of Ronin after Clint Barton retires. In the comics she is a villain, antihero and hero. She starts out a villain but works her way to hero status. The actual leader of the tracksuit mafia is Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk. Echo turns good after being betrayed by Kingpin.
The “cling” reminds me of Ewan McGregor’s interview on The Graham Norton Show. He said the director for Phantom Menace kept telling him to stop making lightsaber noises during the fight scenes.
Anyone else notice they didn't include the scene of Clint breaking the twist ties from behind his back? I screamed when that happened! This show did that just for Arrow fans lol
5:40 Ive seen someone else point this out. I know its not Clint's style to say it to someone but when the LARPer says he's not a hero. Guy is a New York firefighter, he is 100% a hero.
Calling it now: it's not the step-dad, it's the mother. Step-dad is too obvious, she was arguing with the dead guy for reasons we still don't know, and she could easily have given her finace the butterscotch. She's the baddie.
I'm getting some fun Knives Out vibes from this show. I absolutely loved the first two episodes and was already super excited for the show (I like Hawkeye a lot more than most) but this strong premiere made me a lot more pumped for the rest of the show. The chemistry between Renner and Steinfeld is also strong for only one episode so far.
The funny thing about the LARP scenes is that it is technically what these shows and movies really are, just a bunch of actors doing some advanced LARPing. It is ridiculous, but you can't deny that it is very fun.
Anyone else suspicious of her Mother?🤔 Like it took her so long to get to her daughter during the attack on NY. Then she didn't seem that broken up about the Father's death. I wonder if she killed him and blamed it on the chitauri? So their money problems were solved by something dropping out of the Sky? And the entire episode she keeps wearing this crimson red color that was very similar to the the tracksuit guys. And for all we know she could have killed the Uncle knowing the nephew would inherit his money since they are getting married. Given that app that Kate uses and the company her mother runs... I doubt she's in the dark about what her fiancé is into. Why else would she have such a big Feud with Armond the 3rd?
Here is some brief comic history, tracksuit gang triples the price of rent, people are losing their homes, clint offers to cover the mark up, tracksuit leader says : ''maybe i dont want money, maybe i want empty building bro'', hawkeye says : ''do you know what is the best thing about being an avenger ? the team, captain america brings the best out of people, but captain america isnt here anymore, You take the money, do you understand (ironic) broo?'', tracksuit leader replies ''building already sold bro'' and hawkeye breaks his nose. Cuts to tracksuit leader speaking with kingpin, kingpin puts a hit on hawkeye, they kidnap clint and threaten him they are going to kill his family if he doesnt leave the building. Clint decides to leave, leaves kate his bow as a christmas present, kate finds him and tells him ''i dont want to be hawkeye anymore if you leave clint, they say never meet your idols, merry christmas my ass you jerk'' and throws away his bow. Clint makes a call, invites his entire family and friends for christmas, they ask him : arent you leaving ? Clint replies : im not going anywhere. Which leads to the car chase scene. In the comics Kate is driving and clint shooting the arrows.
When you guys talk about knife deaths made think about the Kongsberg (a town south of Oslo) murderer. He killed 7 people with bow and arrow and then had a shootout with the cops before fleeing the scene! Scary stuff.
Bro, the Tracksuit Bros were tracksuits because that became the staple of Soviet culture around the time Addidas supplied them for the 1980 Olympic games.
Having read the Hawkeye comics before watching this made it so much more fun. The Tracksuit Mafia and their constant Bro'ing, Grills, the trick arrows, etc.
Okay, that Larp scene was only funny for the amount of effort those 4 to 5 guys put into LARP dying when they gotta 180 crescent slashed. Great acting and even better acting as a LARPer :D
20:40 no, the stunt man was supposed to throw the knive close to Viggo looking like Aragorn had dodged it but the stuntman "missed" the miss and threw it right at Viggo's face, which he actually deflected with his sword all that was caught on camera and it was so good that they decided to keep it in the movie like that
At first I thought the bad guys that attacked the auction were The Wrecking Crew in the comics. Even in the first episode where that guy took off his mask to stare at Kate Bishop in the Ronin suit had the purple burglar mask like the head man in The Wrecking Crew
4:38 Just sayin’… isn’t taking something from a burning apartment… we’ll say a hoodie or NY Yankees jacket or something like that… “against the rules”? (Yes, I am referring to a cop/firefighter taking the Ronan suit)
As a European LARP'er myself you'd think I'd like that part, and it was still somewhat endearing and lookin' like they had fun, but it was also American LARP and presented in quite the Marvel ridicule humour way that it cringed me the fuck out xD
Loved Jeremy in this so much lol, also loved how the chick thought he'd be worried about cops and fire fighters when he's fought off whole as aliens lol
I don’t think they were making fun of the LARPers, yes Clint didn’t want to participate in it but he didn’t judge the people who did, followed the rules and admitted to having at least somewhat enjoyed it As for the one guy who took it too far that was just a joke character that would have existed in any scene like that regardless of what the actual context was
I feel like the way they introduced Pizza Dog didn't really make sense compered to the comics. In the comics Hawkeye gives a random dog pizza, in return the dog saves Hawkeye from getting shot but gets beaten by his owner for it. So Hawkeye comes back, saves the dog and takes him to a vet to save his life (thats how he looses his eye) In here? He seems like a magical dog that attacks bad guys for no reason at all (like the scene with a watch). It dosn't make sense. I think it would be much better if the dog tried to save Kate at the end of ep1 (before Hawkeye shows up), thats when they should introduce him. Or maybe Kate could find him in the apartament of the guy who was killed with a sword. I think that would make much more sense in the story.
The girl at the end is Echo. She is Wilson Fisk's adopted daughter. Also, Kingpin will be showing up here, along with other characters from the Daredevil Netflix show...
The best part of the whole episode was the hidden gem of playing Christmas Islands' sobg by Depeche Mode, which is a very rare side B track from back in the day... 😅👌🏻

Lol yeah, why else do u think he sacrificed himself in what if, and almost in endgame

Considering this Barton can't be the hot mess he was in the comics, I like the world-weary "are you kidding me with this shit" angle they're taking
I think they're going to make Kate the hot mess, and then also just give her insight into his particular blind spots, cuz he's getting a little hyper fixated
Tracksuit Mafia both here and in the comics is amazing. I’ve been grinning every time I hear “bro”.

Bro, you have excellent taste in comics, bro
Just saying "Bullseye" would be the perfect name for a one-eyed dog of an archer.

honestly i saw his moustache and went straight to the swordsman
The “cling” reminds me of Ewan McGregor’s interview on The Graham Norton Show. He said the director for Phantom Menace kept telling him to stop making lightsaber noises during the fight scenes.
Love when Calvin smiles 😍
Anyone else notice they didn't include the scene of Clint breaking the twist ties from behind his back? I screamed when that happened! This show did that just for Arrow fans lol
5:40 Ive seen someone else point this out. I know its not Clint's style to say it to someone but when the LARPer says he's not a hero. Guy is a New York firefighter, he is 100% a hero.
Superhero.
Calling it now: it's not the step-dad, it's the mother. Step-dad is too obvious, she was arguing with the dead guy for reasons we still don't know, and she could easily have given her finace the butterscotch. She's the baddie.
I mean he did take the Ronin's Sword and Armond was killed by a Sword.
It's either him or a really contrived red herring.
Or maybe they're both in on it.
got to love how on board the wife is with all this.
I'm getting some fun Knives Out vibes from this show. I absolutely loved the first two episodes and was already super excited for the show (I like Hawkeye a lot more than most) but this strong premiere made me a lot more pumped for the rest of the show. The chemistry between Renner and Steinfeld is also strong for only one episode so far.
The funny thing about the LARP scenes is that it is technically what these shows and movies really are, just a bunch of actors doing some advanced LARPing. It is ridiculous, but you can't deny that it is very fun.
tracksuit mafia is indeed in the comic 🤣
Deaf lady at the end is Echo. Echo has her own show coming up.
Anyone else suspicious of her Mother?🤔
Like it took her so long to get to her daughter during the attack on NY. Then she didn't seem that broken up about the Father's death. I wonder if she killed him and blamed it on the chitauri? So their money problems were solved by something dropping out of the Sky?
And the entire episode she keeps wearing this crimson red color that was very similar to the the tracksuit guys. And for all we know she could have killed the Uncle knowing the nephew would inherit his money since they are getting married. Given that app that Kate uses and the company her mother runs... I doubt she's in the dark about what her fiancé is into. Why else would she have such a big Feud with Armond the 3rd?
Take a shot every time a Tracksuit says "Bro."
I really dig Echo's taste in music. :D
Hawkeye in this reminds me of Peter B. Parker in spiderverse
Here is some brief comic history, tracksuit gang triples the price of rent, people are losing their homes, clint offers to cover the mark up, tracksuit leader says : ''maybe i dont want money, maybe i want empty building bro'', hawkeye says : ''do you know what is the best thing about being an avenger ? the team, captain america brings the best out of people, but captain america isnt here anymore, You take the money, do you understand (ironic) broo?'', tracksuit leader replies ''building already sold bro'' and hawkeye breaks his nose. Cuts to tracksuit leader speaking with kingpin, kingpin puts a hit on hawkeye, they kidnap clint and threaten him they are going to kill his family if he doesnt leave the building. Clint decides to leave, leaves kate his bow as a christmas present, kate finds him and tells him ''i dont want to be hawkeye anymore if you leave clint, they say never meet your idols, merry christmas my ass you jerk'' and throws away his bow. Clint makes a call, invites his entire family and friends for christmas, they ask him : arent you leaving ? Clint replies : im not going anywhere. Which leads to the car chase scene. In the comics Kate is driving and clint shooting the arrows.
When you guys talk about knife deaths made think about the Kongsberg (a town south of Oslo) murderer. He killed 7 people with bow and arrow and then had a shootout with the cops before fleeing the scene! Scary stuff.
My God(god) it's "The Swordsman." They must homage his "Easter Egg" colored costume. Takes me back all the way to the 70's.
HOME ALONE reference from " Don't lose Nate" line to Clints kids. Cuz in home alone the young son Kevin is left behind.
Bro, the Tracksuit Bros were tracksuits because that became the staple of Soviet culture around the time Addidas supplied them for the 1980 Olympic games.
Clint says ‘he glad he did it’ because he’s glad he got the suit back as a result of the LARP, not because he Larped.
Having read the Hawkeye comics before watching this made it so much more fun. The Tracksuit Mafia and their constant Bro'ing, Grills, the trick arrows, etc.
Okay, that Larp scene was only funny for the amount of effort those 4 to 5 guys put into LARP dying when they gotta 180 crescent slashed. Great acting and even better acting as a LARPer :D
Christmas Island by Depeche Mode as the ending song was sooooooo fucking good! Loved it i got chills
Tracksuit Mafia absolutely are a thing in the comics
“Jones” was on the list of names for the apartment building. Maybe a Jessica Jones nod but I might be reaching!
Probably a reach lmaoo but what if am I right?
I mean, there’s also Rick Jones aka A-Bomb, so I think this is a bit of a reach.
As well, her business is called Alias Investigations.
Did not expect to see a Shanghai Knights reference from you guys! Watched that movie all the time growing up.
Kate's "I didn't know we were supposed to bring guns" line is my favorite so far. Really show how over her head she is at this point in the story
Wait, if Swordsman is in this, does that mean he might meet Mantis in Guardians later on?
Tell me if im wrong but i think in the comics, the track suit mafia was founded by Wilson fisk
Yes and Echo is his adopted daughter in it also, she also becomes an avenger
@@clarktownsend8991 alright thanks!
20:40 no, the stunt man was supposed to throw the knive close to Viggo looking like Aragorn had dodged it but the stuntman "missed" the miss and threw it right at Viggo's face, which he actually deflected with his sword
all that was caught on camera and it was so good that they decided to keep it in the movie like that
I wasn't looking at Calvin at 0:31 and thought Rick hit him when he went for the button.
Was i the only one that for a brief moment wondered why Yoyo was the head of the Tracksuit Mafia.
My brother wondered that too. Its not the same actress though, right?
She looks nothing like yo-yo
@@grandmoffjake6871 it’s not the same actress
That moment when they think the step father is evil but really he's just a bro
Comic readers will know who that character was at the end and what she leads to and it’s going to be AWESOME to see your reactions!
At first I thought the bad guys that attacked the auction were The Wrecking Crew in the comics. Even in the first episode where that guy took off his mask to stare at Kate Bishop in the Ronin suit had the purple burglar mask like the head man in The Wrecking Crew
Track suit mafia is in the comics, they work for Kingpin.
A sign of a good show is you're angry when it ends
32:10 "See any MCU movie as a broadway musical" How did none of them say RAGNAROK?
FINNALY A POLISH GUY IN A MARVEL MOVIE LETS GO!
4:38 Just sayin’… isn’t taking something from a burning apartment… we’ll say a hoodie or NY Yankees jacket or something like that… “against the rules”? (Yes, I am referring to a cop/firefighter taking the Ronan suit)
Because no one ever broke any rules before >>.>>
@@chesteradams7423 not sure if you’re joking or not… but do you mean, firefighters/cops are allowed to take anything from from a burning building? 🤨
As a European LARP'er myself you'd think I'd like that part, and it was still somewhat endearing and lookin' like they had fun, but it was also American LARP and presented in quite the Marvel ridicule humour way that it cringed me the fuck out xD
This was a great episode and also excited for that flash episode reaction
Bro, the Tracksuit Mafia is totally a thing in the comics, Bro!
Would be a really cool twist if the mom was the killer
Not really. The twist would be cool if the dog did it LOL.
The mom's definitely going to be the main bad guy/ killer of the show or is at least working for the final bad guy then....
The comic run this based on is pure chaos and absolutely fantastic. I just wish they treated David Aja well.
Loved Jeremy in this so much lol, also loved how the chick thought he'd be worried about cops and fire fighters when he's fought off whole as aliens lol
Ah yes, the Tracksuit Draculas, the greatest gang name ever…
The track suit Mafia are in the comics and they say bro at the end of almost every sentence as well
Lol'd so hard when she said "WE BURN THE CORPSE"
One of the track suit guys has to be nammed Niko and someone has to ask him to go bowling!!!
I don’t think they were making fun of the LARPers, yes Clint didn’t want to participate in it but he didn’t judge the people who did, followed the rules and admitted to having at least somewhat enjoyed it
As for the one guy who took it too far that was just a joke character that would have existed in any scene like that regardless of what the actual context was
Hawkeye is giving me King Robert vibes in this show.
"Just give me something for the pain and let me die"
Just think you guys should know, the creator confirmed this is set in 2025 for some reason
Avengers Endgame took place in 2023 so.....
Has a mustache:Hmmm
Is fond of the sword:hmmmmmmm
Really good at fencing and it's a show about Hawkeye:MHMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I feel like the way they introduced Pizza Dog didn't really make sense compered to the comics. In the comics Hawkeye gives a random dog pizza, in return the dog saves Hawkeye from getting shot but gets beaten by his owner for it. So Hawkeye comes back, saves the dog and takes him to a vet to save his life (thats how he looses his eye)
In here? He seems like a magical dog that attacks bad guys for no reason at all (like the scene with a watch). It dosn't make sense. I think it would be much better if the dog tried to save Kate at the end of ep1 (before Hawkeye shows up), thats when they should introduce him. Or maybe Kate could find him in the apartament of the guy who was killed with a sword.
I think that would make much more sense in the story.
The girl at the end is Echo. She is Wilson Fisk's adopted daughter. Also, Kingpin will be showing up here, along with other characters from the Daredevil Netflix show...
The best part of the whole episode was the hidden gem of playing Christmas Islands' sobg by Depeche Mode, which is a very rare side B track from back in the day... 😅👌🏻
2:30 one of my favourite Blind Wave interactions ever
