Anyone else watching this? We just saw the first two episodes today because it's a crazy holiday week.
I enjoyed it. The first episode definitely didn't feel like it was 50 minutes when is was over. I enjoyed the clock tower scene. Though it makes no logical sense that ringing the bell would cause a collapse of that nature. The musical scene was ... interesting. Can officially say that I don't think I'd be a fan. It seems overly cheesy.
I definitely will riot if Clint doesn't make it home for Christmas. But I am enjoying the dynamic with Kate.
H and I are trying to decide if Jack really did off his uncle (it feels a little TOO obvious). Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I love Hailey Steinfeld and the Hawkeye character so I’m enjoying it so far. Very much liked the LARPing scene in the second episode. Since it’s Christmas themed I assume he’s going to make it just in time, probably with Kate in tow.
Oh, and I thought Rogers the Musical was hilarious but looked really terrible. Superheroes and musicals are two things I love but please keep them separated.

We watched the first episode on Thanksgiving after dinner and then the second last night. I would absolutely see a local theater club's production of Rogers The Musical, would absolutely NOT see it on Broadway or similar. Otherwise, we're really enjoying it. Hawkeye is my favorite Avenger, so I'm all in. Everything I've read has said that it's supposed to be very Home Alone meets Die Hard and I'm seeing that.

Oh yeah. The LARP was fun.
I also really enjoyed the appearance of Pizza Dog (aka Lucky).
I love that it's got that comedic value to it. Definitely would not be as good if they tried to take it too seriously

I am quite enjoying it so far. The musical was amusing to see but I can only imagine how offensive it would be to an actual avenger. Making so much fun and light out of events they risked their lives for over and over.
I love the dog so much.

But I know. Steve hated being a dancing monkey. And here they've made him into one.

I’m only watching because I love hailee, but I’m enjoying it so far. I laughed so hard at Rogers the musical. I could totally see it happening. For the record, I love Broadway. I’m thinking mama bishop has her hands dirty too.

I watched the first two and I seriously cannot wait for more. I always liked Hawkeye but the show just pinpoints exactly why I like him. He’s a great dad and a great partner, like he told Laura immediately about what was going on, she obviously knows about his Ronin days, they had such open communication that I hope that continues to be a constant in the show. He retains so much of his character, being an efficient mentor to younger heroes (for lack of better term) without being a creep or the overbearing big brother trope.
And of course I’m so happy to see Lucky. I chuckled out loud at “don’t destroy this apartment” lol like you just took in a stray dog off the street and expect him to be house trained, and then he actually listened haha.

Definitely love the open communication. It's such a cliche to keep it a secret from your partner and then something bad happens to them and they have no idea why.

I’m really enjoying this one so far! I really like Hailee Steinfeld and enjoy the more comedic Marvel offerings in general.
I’m liking Maya’s character a lot too. I love Zahn McClarnon as her dad. He was great in Reservation Dogs and Fargo. Super excited to see him in this.

Such a well done episode. When jack caught Clint at the very end of the episode and then it ended, I actually yelled because of the cliffhanger. My ds was like “what happens now mom?!” And so I explained in the days of yore when the entirety of a tv show wasn’t available online and we will have to wait until next week to find out lol.

Everything comes full circle. H has said a few times that he thought his days of waiting for the next episode release were behind him.

YELENAAAA!!!
I love Laura Barton. Clint just calls her up and is like "please perform this bit of spy work" and she comes back with all the info. I think the rolex was hers. She's in the know, is clearly capable, and Clint was being super cagey about the owner's identity.

She for sure has a background in it. I wondered about the watch being hers too. H is ore skeptical, because it's a man's watch. But you never know. I really enjoyed the LARPers getting all in on it, and the cop being all, NBD about the evidence tampering. He better have that bag to give back to her. I'm still waiting for Fisk to show up, but I appreciate the appearance of Yelena. I wonder how Clint it going to convince her that he tried to keep Natasha from dying.

Ahh wouldn't it be great if Wilson Fisk was one of the big bads for this phase. So many NYC based heroes to loop in.
I thought we'd be seeing Yelena because of the end credits scene in Black Widow, I was gonna be REAL mad if she didn't show up. Clint is basically a Widow magnet at this point lol. I wonder if he'll convince Yelena to stop working for Contessa (and also find out why she hired her in the first place). Lol the LARPers are the best. I agree, he better get that bag back! It was embroidered!
Also, did anyone else get the feeling that Kate really wants Jack to not be who he is, and just be her mother's fiance? That scene in the house where Jack and her mom dance, and Kate was watching, it almost makes me wish that Jack's involvement is not what it seems so her mom can have a happily ever after.

pianolove I got the same sense about Kate when she was watching them dance. Like she really wanted to have a sense of normalcy and happiness but she couldn't get herself there. I get where her mom is coming from trying to get Clint to shake her off but she's also an adult, right? Young adult but still an adult. I know it was an attempt at manipulating Clint's paternal instincts though, and obviously it worked. For some reason I thought I heard them say at one point that the watch was Tony's but maybe I just heard them say it was from his compound. It would seem odd for Clint to go hard for it if it were his since it's not like they were BFFs. But obviously the watch does other stuff, right?

I 100% don't care about Kate. She is such an entitled spoiled brat. I'd be all in on a show starring the deaf woman - her character is super intriguing.
I love the family angle with Clint. Loved the LARPing. There's some good comic relief interspersed with the action.

I’m mad at Kate’s mom for rubbing Nat’s death in Clint’s face when they were talking by the elevator. Fuck you, woman.

I saw an internet story that there's a theory that La Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine may be Kate's maternal aunt. I kind of wondered who Eleanor was calling, and admit the theory that Val having an actress alias, and being able to call upon Yelena for an assignment kind of tracks. I've read that that would be a variant from the comics story lines.
I've also read that episode 5 will be quite the shocker. I'll be very very upset if Clint (or Laura, or any Barton) dies in this series, though. And I want Yelena to find out that her sister would have wanted Clint safeguarded at all costs.
I like Echo (and hot friend) quite a lot and hope they both show up in her new show.

Loved the newest episode but I am 100% a Yelena fan girl after the Black Widow movie so I was mostly just excited to see her. I also enjoyed the drinking scene with coin flip action.
All I want now is for Clint to bring Yelena home for Christmas and make her part of his family because she’s Nat’s family.

I need her cute personality to shine through. And I fully expect a couple of additions at the Barton Family Christmas. Heck, I would only be a little surprised if Echo ended up there too.

I TOTALLY CALLED IT! I KNEW FISK WAS INVOLVED!!! I also knew Eleanor was dirty. I bet she set Jack up.
Anyways, not sure how they'll finish all this up in one episode.

I am loving the show - way more than I thought I would due to Kate, Yelena and Maya - but now I’m semi-dreading a big cliffhanger because I’m so into it. I loved the Yelena-Kate scenes this episode. I’ve had a lady crush on Florence Pugh since seeing Little Women and she is so funny and charismatic. She was also the best part of Black Widow along with David Harbour IMO.

I was hoping for Clint to bring Kate, Maya and Yelena with him for Christmas as they’ve all lost family -assuming Kate and Eleanor fall out- and Laura, with whatever her background is, would get it and welcome them. But with only one episode left I don’t see that happening so much.

All I know of Kingpin is that he lost his wife in Spiderverse movie so I wondered if Laura was his wife who wanted out and Hawkeye helped her and they fell in love. And the watch is Kingpin’s which links her to him.
This is my theory at the moment.
