    Hawkeye Episode 4 Primer

    As expected this last episode of Hawkeye, “Echoes”, has been the most explosive yet. The episode featured the car chase with all of the trick arrows, the introduction of Echo, the big tease of Kingpin, and Clint at the business end of his own Ronin sword. The episode also featured some less explosive, but equally important things like Clint and Kate finally finding some common ground. The two heroes seem like they are finally on the same page as we move into the second half of the show.

    Part of Clint and Kate’s conversation was spent with him explaining to her that he isn’t a role model. Kate suspects that Ronin is someone close to Clint, but doesn’t quite seem to get that it is him. The fact that he hasn’t told her will cause a rift between the two when she finds out. The show is definitely going to get way more complicated in the next three episodes with Yelena Belova, who was teased in the new tv spot coming after Clint because she believes that he killed Natasha, coming into play; it is also likely that Kingpin will fully come in to play and make things a little harder for the Hawkeyes than the his foot soldiers have. It looks like it’s going to be a little harder for Clint to come home for Christmas.

    We know that Kate and Echo are going to face off and we know that Yelena is more of a Clint problem. It’s pretty common to see the partners split up and maybe these two will have to fight their own battles in the next episodes. If Clint and Jacques fight that will give Kate a bit of confirmation that he is exactly who she thought he was. It also might be time for Kingpin to make a grand entrance and seeing that he is huge his entrance has to be big.

    Hawkeye Episode 3 Primer

    In the first two episodes of Hawkeye, “Never Meet Your Heroes” and “Hide and Seek” we saw Clint Barton trying to spend time with his kids in New York City after having lost them to the Snap and then getting them back. At the same time, we meet Kate Bishop, who is portrayed perfectly by Hailee Steinfeld, when she comes home to find out her mom is getting married to Jacques Duquesne, who Kate isn’t fond of. He tries so hard to shove himself into Kate’s life but she isn’t having and she is suspicious of Jacques and his mysterious ways. Kate gets into a little bit of trouble with the Tracksuit Mafia, forcing Clint to send his family home and bringing the two heroes, and the Pizza Dog, together.

    This upcoming episode should belong to Maya Lopez, aka Echo. We met Echo, played by Alaqua Cox, in the last few seconds of “Hide and Seek” and while we don’t really know her all that well, we know is she is the boss of the Tracksuit Mafia. This episode should be more of an introduction for the character who is a very special character with some very special abilities. As we saw, Echo is deaf and can only feel vibrations and/or read lips, which kind of gives her something in common with Clint. She’s also a great martial artist and has some pretty interesting connections to some really interesting people. If we get to know more about Maya in this episode, it won’t be long before one of those people turns up.

    In this upcoming episode, I am very positive that Clint and Kate will escape. Wouldn’t be much of a Hawkeye show if they didn’t. Marvel has shown a lot of footage of the big car chase which I think has to be in one of the next two episodes. We’re also getting to the perfect opening where Yelena and Kingpin can come into the show, which I talked about last week. Yelena heard about Natasha and how she died and is out to kill Clint for “killing her.” It’s perfect timing for Yelena to get involved and complicate things even more. And as for Kingpin, it might be a little early for him but if Clint and Kate escape Echo and the Tracksuits, I don’t think he’ll be very happy, do you?
