Good, hopefully he was wearing that special suit and when that bullet bounces off of him, Kingpin breaks her other leg and gets away. D’Onofrio was the best part of Daredevil and I'd hate for MCU to do him dirty and "one and done" his character like Evan Peter's Quicksilver

That was fun, they really captured the comicbook feel with all the masked henchmen, and the wacky arrows.

I loved the fight in the elevator between Kate and Yelena, it was comedy mixed into action done right.

Musicals in general are so cringe.

I think that was my favourite of the shows to date, actually no for sure it was. I really enjoyed the on set filming. Those shows where it is shot in that special room are great, but they have a different feel to them, more like a play, which is fine.

It was nice to get a Die Hard esque Marvel popcorn action series with some deep roots and well deserved attention and focus on Barton and his place in all of this craziness. I liked seeing how human he really is, but at the same time completely exceptional.

Takes a lot more skill to be able to do what he does in the middle of guys in indestructible super suits and magic hammers.

Good closure for Yelena and Barton with Romanoff as well. I think maybe that could have been done a bit better but it was all around good. I really enjoyed the scene where he went to the memorial to speak to her.

Overall great ride, great series. Nice and short which was awesome, but just packed full of everything. Steinfeld (I just can't say it without thinking of that episode of Seinfeld) did an amazing job. Looking forward to seeing more of her in the future as well.

One thing that confused me was the Agent 19 thing, I had to google it, but it is a cool nod to Laura. I wonder if it will become something or if it was strictly just a comic book nerd thing and thats it. They sure made a lot of fuss about that watch, is there still something I am missing besides that she would be Mockingbird from the comics?

I honestly wasn’t a fan of the musical bit. Went too long and didn’t seem funny enough to be an actual joke. The production value of it was not something you’d see from a super hyped Broadway musical like that so it just seemed weird. Like no one would like this if it was a full show. I felt embarrassed to be watching it and hoped no one would come in while I was so I had explain it.

Should have had the Lonely Island write it.

It was meh.

I mean Arrow Guy is kind of a hokey super hero if you ask me.

That being said my boy loved it.

The Finale didn't do it for me. I really like the first e episodes.

From this one and from Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I get the feeling the wrote longer season and cut half the plot after shooting, but left a bunch of hits towards the non existent plot, it's very distracting. I also thought Echo got a 10 minute arc in this episode that should have been here entire series, not really sure where they are going, or why they are rushing plot movements.

This episode gave me hope for both Linda Cardellini and Adrianne Palicki playing a big part in secret invasion. (wont happen).

I'm also already bored of Yelanas character, I think they need to help her grow up pretty fast, if she if going to be a big part of the future.

I think a young avengers headed by Yulana and Bishop would be fantastic. I release Yulana isn’t in the original but she awesome.

Add in Wiccan, Speed, Iron Lad, and Kid Loki and you got yourself a team.

That episode was so ridiclous. Marvel meets home alone.

Clint and Yelena's carried it.

Maya is a smokeshow, but not a very interesting arc.

Better than I thought it would be, however the rooftop and especially the ice rink scene were a bit too campy and kinda dragged on.

I was kinda thinking they keep yelena in more of a grey area

Somehow though they need to use the two characters together in future, great chemistry

Just finished this and thought it was great. A little campy, but this is comic book stuff. I thought the performers were excellent and while I was cringing at the concept at the start, the Kate Bishop character and her relationship with Barton was excellent IMO.

Might be my favorite of the shows, I liked the smaller scale without multiverse, reality bending shenanigans.

The post credit scene worked for me.

Yeah I was wondering how they thought this justified giving her her own series.

Then I remembered she's a quadruple minority and it made sense.

This is a weird take.

She's also a kick ass character. Her introduction and run in the Daredevil comics is fantastic.

Having her in Hawkeye takes some of the origin story out of her own series so they can just dig into it.

It’s a stupid take.

Nah, she was a pretty tame and one-dimensional angsty character driven by revenge, and the actress' performance was nothing to write home about. There's no way Marvel would've green lit a solo series for her if there wasn't 'woke' points involved.
