The USB arrow was unrealistic, it needs some kind of cable so that after the first shot you can retrieve it, turn it the other way up, and try again. And then try it the first way up again only this time it works for some reason.
You'd think so, but this is Hawkguy we're talking about. As long as the USB connector is at the end of an arrow, he will be able to hit the port the right way around every time. As shown in the documentaries (Avengers, 2012).

Hawkeye's one true superpower? It's certainly a strong one.

Watched the first two and thought it was really and utterly dumb to start. First it was "That's a really big house, I guess her parents are doing pretty well" to "In Manhattan?!?!?!" then to "Overlooking Stark Tower?!?!?! I guess she gets saved by Hawkeye from the Chitari next." Yep.

The bell tower "collapse" was utterly nonsensical, as was her foray through the auction and grabbing the Ronin suit and somehow putting it on very quickly. It was so forced and lame a.f.

The main redeeming point has been that everyone recognizes Clint. I thought they were going to go with the dumb cliche of him not being mentioned in the musical and nobody recognizing him angle. I like Jeremy Renner, the dog and the track suit mafia is kind of comical, but so far it's leaving me pretty cold.
We're friends, but you couldn't be more wrong.

I finally picked up Disney+ and got to see it. I think the Matt Fraction original comic story/flavor/etc... is working a lot better in the MCU and with this adaptation -- Clint isn't being played as uncharacteristically clueless, and the lethality isn't out of character the way it was in the comics.

One major difference between the two is that in the comics, Hawkeye was already an established character from Young Avengers when the Fraction/Aya run started. So she and Hawkguy are on a bit more even footing, whereas here it's basically her origin story.

The latest episode was MUCH better. The characters and story had some depth and focus while still retaining the recent Marvel "feel". Maya, Kazi and William weren't just cardboard villains and made a good counter to the Tracksuit Mafia goofs.

I really enjoyed episode 3.

We’re halfway through now. We’ve had a hint that there’s some shadowy villain behind the Tracksuits (the mysterious “uncle”). Then there’s Jack.

Hailee Steinfeld is fantastic as always.

I’m still struggling to see how Yelena fits into this story. I suspect she’s going to appear briefly at the end in a typical MCU “setting up for the next bit” teaser. I’d love to be proved wrong, though.

The different trick arrows were fun. I’m unsure what the USB arrow is for, though.
