Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

[MarkB]

Did you guys catch the flipped joke about boomerang arrows? In the comics, it was Clint trying to sell Kate on them "because they come back". In this, it was Kate trying to sell the idea to Clint. Nice little nod for the comics fans.

Perhaps we'll see something similar to this in one of the remaining episodes:

Spoiler

Wow, Hawkeye's first name looks so much riskier when it's written in blocky, close-packed comic text.

I'm beginning to root for the idea that the watch is just a standard McGuffin and all of this theorizing we're doing is a pure waste of electrons.

Oh, it has a meaning and purpose, we just don't know what yet. I am pretty sure everything that Marvel has tossed into one of the series has not been there just to be useless. Sure, they do put in a lot of easter eggs, some that viewers thought were more important than they turned out to be, but the watch is not one of those.

EDIT: Never mind. I see it now.

Two other notes. First, not to gender stereotype, but that is a classic, masculine-style watch, and if it belongs to someone inactive for a long time, it most likely belongs to a male former Avenger?

Second, since Agents of SHIELD is not part of the MCU canon, what happened with Mockingbird there does not count, and in the comics Mockingbird and Hawkeye were married for a while. Maybe Marvel is doing another of their MCU mashups and Laura Barton is a retired Mockingbird and the Bobbi Morse version does not exist.

At least one Youtuber identified it as a specific model of woman's Rolex watch.

Plausible, and they've already done something similar with Jimmy Wong's witness in WandaVision.

True. We never did find out who his witness was, did we?

That may be only because Marvel decided to use a new watch as a prop, which if they did that, rather than using a more vintage watch from the 80's or 90's that it probably comes from, is a slip-up.

Sorry! Apologies if this has been posted! Avoiding spoilers here. Excuse me. Ope. Excuse me.

I really hope they aren't going to turn Laura Barton into Mockingbird. We've already seen Bobbi Morse in the MCU, or at least adjacent to it in Agents of SHIELD (and she was around in season 2, when they were still connected).

That said, I'd be super-impressed if the watch was connected to that version of the character though.

I wouldn't hold your breath for anything from AoS to carry forward.
