Hawkeye Disney+ Limited Series (spoilers)

[Enevhar Aldarion]

There's A LOT of talk that Echo is getting her own series - so this may well be more a tease for that than anything here - There's just a lot already going on!

That was already confirmed back on Disney Plus Day when it was officially announced.

Trick arrows are always fun and it's enjoyable to see some new ones. The whole driving shootout was great and the Pym arrow was the icing on top. I enjoyed this episode more than the first two and a nice little cliff hanger at the end bodes well for the next episode.

Loved the trick arrow bit, but did an eye roll seeing that the "regular arrows" that they ran out of had field points

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.

I'm out! My suspension of disbelief has been utterly and irreparably destroyed!

I'm sorry but there is no way that the Tracksuit Mafia has a hideout in an old KB Toys store in Brooklyn. KB Toys went out of business in 2009. I can guarantee you that any space that large in Brooklyn that was abandoned in 2009 got converted to million-dollar loft condos in the intervening 15 years.

That space isn't just sitting there idle!

That’s an odd hill on which to die, LOL!

Especially since it wasn't too long ago that half the world disappeared, then came back, and there would be a whole lot of property with questionable ownership.

And it wasn't sitting idle. It was being used as a gang headquarters

It’s not our universe .

See... that's a fantastic idea.

A show about a superhero/attorney who fights villainy and litigates actions to quiet title.

According to Nerdist, the presence of KB Toys may be an easter egg. Every Easter Egg From HAWKEYE Episode Three - Nerdist

KB Toys​

The fact that Kate and Clint are in an abandoned KB Toys might seem like a bit of simple nostalgia. It also works on the level that K and B are Kate Bishop’s initials. But there’s also a deeper Marvel connection here. During Marvel Comics’ turbulent business troubles in the mid-90s, Toy Biz (owned by Ike Perlmutter and exclusive to Marvel) greatly expanded their offerings in an attempt to stave off bankruptcy for the company. Many of those action figures were exclusive to KB Toys. When the inevitable happened and Marvel Comics went bankrupt, it was Perlmutter, Avi Arad, and the toy side of the business that took control of Marvel as a whole and put Joe Quesada at the head of the publishing side, which turned its fortunes around. A nice Marvel history egg there!

It’s not our universe .

So in that universe, KB Toys somehow managed to shift to e-commerce and survive an ill-planned IPO that wound up with the company getting purchased by venture capital.

Yeah... I'm not seeing it.

I can buy the Snap and the Blip and Skrulls and megadoses of gamma radiation turning people into beings of infinite strength. What I don't buy is a universe without a long drawn-out retailpocalypse or a non-gentrified Brooklyn.
