Rogue 3 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 First 2 episodes dropped today in Disney+ and me and the Mrs have just been watching these. It’s interesting how it feels quite normal to start off a new show with elements taken from a block buster film! The opening scenes set on 2012 give a nice, and relatively quick, back story for our new character. Some very nice scenes in these 2 episodes - the theatre at the start had some fun moments, and a “fight” scene in episode 2 in Central Park was similarly entertaining. Not sure on Kate Bishop herself at the moment - she goes from moody, highly skilled 20 year old to lighthearted and jokey quite quickly and all before she meets Hawkeye, so it’s not just down to meeting her idol. But overall a very enjoyable start to the series and Tony Dalton is great - got a lot of time for him from Better Call Saul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Totally plan on watching it this weekend. I’m excited for it, I really like that fun action spy film vibe that both Hawkeye and Black Widow have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoLA Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm loving it so far! The flashback to the 2012 attack was a nice touch, cool to see what an effect it had on the regular people. Looks like Kate and her mom made it through the attack on NY and the snap. Lucky people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Krawlie Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Seems pretty likely. A decent amount of Netflix Marvel people look like they're coming back, soft reboot style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLA Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 It would tie in nicely with the rumor that Charlie Cox may show up as a lawyer in the next Spider-Man. Last ep of Hawkeye airs right after that, so just imagine Donofrio's Fisk appearing at the end of episode 5 and then Murdock in NWH the same week! I want my Spidey/DD team up!

Rogue 3 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Big style! Really enjoyed that one - good pacey one and lots of nice touches. The instant “blip” at the start was one I especially liked! Really enjoying this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Yeah seeing the snap/blip from the POV of somebody who went away isn’t something we’ve see yet, that was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLA Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 That was pretty neat how it was so instantaneous for some people that they didn't even realize what happened. Yelena was the bomb in this ep. And freakin' Kingpin! Yyyyiiissssss! But how the hell does anyone know any details about Natasha's death? Only Clint was there and he probably told the Avengers what happened but how would anyone else know? I'm sure the Avengers might have released an official statement about her death that she died in battle or was killed securing the stones after. I mean, they didn't have to say anything since her body was on an alien planet and no one on Earth outside the Avengers would even know she was dead.

Darth Krawlie Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Valentina passed her the info but where she got it from, that's a good question. I'm not sure I understand exactly what her position is anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 So Laura is either the most understanding and supportive wife ever, or there's something going on with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'm guessing she's a former SHIELD agent or something along those lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLA Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 She does speak more than English and knows a lot about her husband's work, so definitely some kind of agent. I bet she kicks some butt when she has to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natasha became a public figure in Winter Solider. I think some of it would be classified but given how much the world was changed, I'm sure there's some basic version of the story out there. 1 hour ago, Cerina said: So Laura is either the most understanding and supportive wife ever, or there's something going on with her. All the nerds are saying she is Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird, and took on a new identity once she retired to raise a family. I think that would be cool. She's never been in a place where that would seem like a bad retcon. Or maybe Clint has always just shared everything with her, which is also cool. 5 hours ago, Darth Krawlie said: Valentina passed her the info but where she got it from, that's a good question.

I was assuming this was to make a Thunderbolts / bad-avenger team. Valentina has some sort of government ties, so not sure how she and Kingpin factor together.

You would think they would have just said she died in battle or something. Like, Yelena even knows he was a friend of hers, so she should look into that more instead of just believing some woman she barely knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Laura being Mockingbird would be cool. But she and Clint just having that level of relationship is cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue 3 Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Random question - was Hawkeye blocked from seeing Nat again so that he could activate her return button in order for her to have a proper funeral? Her body was just lying at the bottom of that cliff, so seems like it could have been done. Never really thought about that before until the chats above triggered that thought. Just assumed the stones release prevented that. (in reality I know they wouldn’t have wanted to do that in the film as it’s more dramatic just seeing Hawkeye breakdown and keep the pace of the film going. So not sure it’s that important! Ha ha!)

Yeah, it's too bad they haven't elaborated on that more. The general public knows she's dead, I guess, so the Avengers must have said something about it. But they also think Cap is retired, which is technically true, but I doubt they know he's old, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
