Amph Marvel's Hawkeye, Introducing Kate Bishop and Pizza Dog

Also, it's explicitly what Kate's mom goes to jail for...

 

Yes, I get that the mystery drives the entire show, but I wasn't sure why Eleanor killed him or had him killed in the first place. I didn't know if his death served any purpose to further Fisk's ambitions as it wasn't explained in the show. Typically having someone killed in the Marvel universe means something. For example, in Iron Man, Obadiah put a hit on Tony in an attempt to take over Stark Industries. So from a story telling perspective, we learned Obadiah's motivations in the final act so the events of the movie all made sense.

According to Armand's fandom wiki, he was killed because "he threatened to expose them both", the both being Eleanor and Fisk. Expose them how? That they were working together? So to answer my own question, it seems the only reason Armand III was killed was because he was a threat to Eleanor and Fisk. To what extent? Maybe we'll find out someday or maybe I'm just being too critical of a minor character and he's served his purpose for the show.

 

Didn't expect much from the series going by the trailers, but I thought it was very good. Hailee Steinfeld was perfectly cast as Kate, the action sequences were well done (especially that car chase), Didn't expect to see Florence Pugh who was the highlight I thought and stole most scenes or Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin. Hopefully he's not dead because his villain has a real presense. I'd like to see him share screen time with Spider-Man.

 

I miss this show already.

 

Maybe it can become a Christmas tradition to rewatch Hawkeye, right before Die Hard.

 

I think that’s what Disney and the cast want too.

 

Seriously? Did you not see Black Widow or leave before the credits were over? I think most people were surprised she disn‘t show up on the first episode.

But yes, she does steal every scene she‘s in.

The last couple of episodes had a very Die Hard feel about it with the Run DMC music playing in the car, the groups of trucks used by the Tracksuit Mafia in formation.

 

I only watched Black Widow once. By the time they got to the Red Room, I kind of had enough of the movie and I don't remember her showing up at the end. I'll have to do a rewatch once my Blu-Ray arrives.

 

Loved the line that Clint's wife is cool with "Clint spending Christmas Eve drinking with a hot, rich 22 year old who idolizes him and looks like a young version of her."

 

You didn‘t like the movie enough to sit through the whole thing but ordered the Bluray?

I was pretty surprised by how many people left before the credits were over in the theater. It‘s a Marvel movie, what the hell are you thinking?!!

Worst Marvel movie walk out I saw was Far From Home when some people left before the title credits ended and, y'know, the Mysterio message. I'd like to think those people already had seen it or else they missed the actual ending. (Slight gripe about Far From Home mid-credits stinger, it's really not a stinger, it's the for real ending of the movie)

 

I'm a completist. It was okay, I'd watch it again. It was cheap too.

 

I think people were better off not knowing that Yelena would appear in the Hawkeye series. My wife also watched Black Widow once and the stinger at the end of the film and didn't recall it, and was excited and delighted that Yelena showed up. I wish I could more often shield myself from knowing cast appearances and plot details of Marvel films/streaming shows, among other things.

Knowing that Yelena was going to appear in Hawkeye, I keep wondering to myself going into each episode, "Is this the episode that Yelena shows up?" The anticipation kind of taints the experience of watching of each episode and not having Yelena appear.

 

Honestly haver episode 2 waiting for Yelana took a backseat to waiting for Kingpin.

Yes, the show kind of got overshadowed by waiting for the two Very Special Guest Stars by the end. Not that I'm complaining that much.

 

was that it?

none of the storylines got resolved . wtf.

 

Main storyline got resolved: Clint did bad stuff as Ronin, he wants to stay blissfully retried, new charge helps him literally burn the Ronin persona, takes over his gig. Teaser from Black Widow, Yelena wants to kill Clint resolved.

The Kingpin/Echo stuff definitely got bounced to another show. Also potential for s2 Hawkeye to expand upon Bishop family drama. But the Bishop stuff got way overshadowed by holy hell, Yelena and where the heck is Kingpin for 4 episodes.

 

Deleted scene Clint’s childhood. (From Twitter)
(In 3 parts)

Mods if this is a no-no, please delete.

 

Did rumors leak out ahead of time that Kingpin/D‘Onofrio was going to appear? I ahve to admit, I never saw that coming. And are we sure he was killed by Echo?

Yes, sort of. D'onofrio retweeted some Hawkeye Twitter post early and said something like Soon before deleting it.

And no, no one thinks he's dead.

 

Whenever E and I in the cinema to see a Marvel film and people start leaving before the mid- or post-credits scenes, we then start talking very loudly about how there's a post credits scene and did you know there's a post credits scene and I wonder what the post credits scene will be, etc, getting progressively louder and louder.
