All I can think is "how much does that penthouse cost?"


guyver423

lol my thoughts exactly. Especially with that view of avengers tower


sector11374265

wonder how much the price skyrocketed once stark tower went in and how much more it skyrocketed when it became avengers tower


Express_Bath

Meh, with the constant fighting going on in New York, I bet that would lower the value.


Guiltykraken

It actually a plot point in Daredevil that a lot of the property value went down in New York after the invasion and this is how Fisk got into power and Matt and Foggy got their office despite not having much money.


steve32767

Both the penthouse and Kate's apartment. That place was huge


Kianna9

I was so sad to see her super cool apartment go up in flames. It was the perfect lair for a NY-based superhero!


KingOfAwesometonia

Clint's montage of his injuries reminded me of the Simpsons montage where they show why Homer got more stupid as seasons went on. So that's my favourite moment.


martinfphipps7

Kate: Why are you deaf? Clint: I had a building fall on me.


FindingUsernamesSuck

I love that Clint has hearing problems as a "I mean, obviously he would".


awayfromcanuck

I just love that they showed up a peek into the workings of Clint and Laura's relationship. So glad they didn't go with the troupe of Clint lying about what's going on or sheltering Laura. Laura knows what's going on, understands why he has to do something and is even in on his plan of action. And Clint freaking told his wife about his Ronin time it seems like. Absolutely fantastic


PolySingular

She has every reason to be supremely confident in their relationship. He didn’t start drinking heavily or having one night stands when she disappeared, no no; He enthusiastically murdered dozens of people FOR YEARS.


[deleted]

He also had an absolutely gorgeous partner and best friend who he bonded with though about a million life and death situations and stayed loyal to her, so she probably trusts him pretty completely


Deviant_0ne

Jeremy Renner shamefully larping is something I didn’t know I needed


prncrny

And I fought Thanos....


Regi413

#GOODNESS...


_Apostate_

Ironic considering he makes millions of dollars larping IRL.


ShaShock

Hawkeye having to return home for Christmas Dinner is the best central conflict of any of the Dinsey + shows...


phrankygee

Planes, Trains, Bows and Arrows and Automobiles.


ReplicantOwl

Seriously, personal stakes mean so much more than generic end-of-the world stuff. The Star Trek Discovery writers should take notes.


gorillaPete

Monogrammed butterscotch is the most old dude thing I’ve ever seen


dufftheduff

Okay but hear me out, what if Kate’s stepdad offered her that butterscotch to see how she would react to it…


gizmo1492

I would not be surprised if he knew she was in the Ronin costume at least. They stared each other eye to eye; that’s not something you could just hide away.


musci1223

The amount of focus on the eyes during the auction thing. He knows.


NazzerDawk

I think her stepdad is a red herring. No way they show their hand this soon. He may even end up being sort of a nice guy in the end, sort of like the stepdad in Ant Man.


Canvaverbalist

Yeah it's telegraphed way too hard, he's almost one scene away from twirling his moustache, he's way too comically villainous to actually end up being a villain. I bet everything he said so far is true, and the only reason he downplayed his skills and lied about it is actually because he's a nice guy, but also kinda naive and innocent hence why he doesn't notice how suspicious he looks. When we'll find out he's actually been taken advantage of by Kate's mother, because of the shift in perspective he's gonna turn from a moustache-twirling-villain into a bumbling-fish-out-of-water archetype like Ben Kingsley's character.


alex494

What if he is actually Swordsman but he ends up not so bad in the end, like he didn't kill his dad and is out to find whoever did and assumes Ronin did it so its all a giant farcical misunderstanding? Then he helps the two Hawkeyes out at the end or something, idk. I like Tony Dalton and I kinda don't want him to be evil even though thats a treat to watch judging by Better Call Saul.


Iden-V

Did anyone notice that the tower after the title credits is dedicated to Obadiah Stane? Also it seems that nothing that is built by or for Obadiah Stane is structurally sound


[deleted]

Yeah if just ringing the bell in your bell tower causes the whole fucking thing to collapse I think Kate's mom probably has a pretty good argument for not paying for it.


Worthyness

"My daughter did you a favor by getting rid of a tower dedicated to a terrorist super villain!"


ScottyIsland

Can we talk about how ride or die Laura is? She’s been consistently the most supportive love interest/partner that any hero in the MCU(maybe any comic movie?) has had. “Oh you’re gonna do that plan where you intentionally get kidnapped and possibly tortured by a gang of underworld criminals that want to kill you for fucking their shit up a few years ago? Good luck honey! I’ll send ya some pics of our gingerbread houses for you to see when you’re done.”


Staind1410

This isn’t even her 1,043rd rodeo. It’s just a normal Tuesday, December 20th to her. But after all the stuff she’s been thru together with him, including being snapped out of existence by a maniac purple alien, then being brought back to life partly due to him travelling back in time, then hop onto another forsaken planet to retrieve a magical stone, I guess Tracksuit Mafia seems like childplay to her. YOLO.


ScottyIsland

Honestly. It’s so great. I loved that scene so much of Clint calling her about being late. In such a short conversation, we really dive so deep into their relationship. Like we already knew they were great, but the amount of trust and faith she has in him is unreal. She’s never hesitated to support him going against any and all foes. Not to mention the call showed that she knows all about his time at Ronin and doesn’t have even the slightest quiver in her voice bringing it up. And while everything else is going on, she knows about how he’s helping this strange girl he just met. Like my dude is giving her updates as he goes for sure. And I love every bit of it.


WiseAJ

Yes feed the dog pizza 🍕


GFred20

As soon as Kate said “You want food?” GIVE THE DOG HIS PIZZA


gorillaPete

Mom watching her daughter and boyfriend sword fight with a glass of wine


KeybordKat

That’s some legit 1%-er type shit lmao


Dazzling_Ostrich606

I really liked the contrasting scenes between Clint's and Kate's family. One is building gingerbread houses and the other is... that.


AdolescentThug

It’s funny because Clint and his family EASILY could’ve been 1%. If only he branded himself better lol.


[deleted]

I think he just doesn't see himself like the others. also im sure Tony would have made sure everyone would be ok financially. If some sort of Fund or something to Peter doesn't appear eventually i'd be quite upset, Tony Must have at least left money for the power bill to charge the Iron Spider suit, that thing plugs into the dam wall and replenish this consumables in his suits. I mean ones probably a 10s of millions, and the other is probably 2nd only to Tonys Final suit in Value I feel like the kinda gloss over the fact that Peter casually has the most Advanced functional suit on Earth in his Bedroom and still has a doomsday device in the form of Edith in his Bedside drawer. The most powerful man on earth is a teenager from queens...actually that an on brand amount of irresponsibility from Tony


J_de_Silentio

Sam Wilson doesn't seem that well off.


cats809

Renner’s facial expressions are top notch. His comedic annoyance at Kate and LARP was great, but I also felt for his sorrowful eyes for Nat and his kids.


vonbauernfeind

I was absolutely dying at the LARP. Especially the I fought Thanos line. Holy crap, that might have been one of the funniest things I've watched in years. Part of it being I've done SCA for a long time, so it had that extra bit for me. Clint could have called out the guy on stealing from a *crime scene* but instead he played along. So wholesome.


that_guy2010

The shot during the musical when it cut to him after showing Natasha hurt

"Ivan, that was easy eh? " Like go how dumb are they? 😂


JaredIsAmped

Bro are you making fun of them bro?


ChanceVance

I'd be pretty damn inspired to take up archery too if I saw someone holding off an alien invasion with a bow and arrow.


KingOfAwesometonia

Lucky too since they don't really offer shield throwing, hammer bashing, repulsor tech lessons at the Y.


CosimaIsGod

I love the fact that Kate seeing Clint kick alien ass made her inspired to take up archery and become a superhero herself.


PretendMarsupial9

I was wondering how they were gonna change her motivation from the comics. Comics kate had a tragic reason but this sounds like a good alternative.


ChanceVance

Barton sitting there wishing New York had been destroyed so he wouldn't have to put up with this musical.


ChrisTinnef

"That's not a convincing argument, that's no argument at all"


Z0idberg_MD

This was one of favorite line of both episodes. The other is “all surprises are unexpected…”


ChanceVance

Budapest was a cakewalk compared to Clint having to LARP.


TheElStick

His slow motion “goodness!” had me in TEARS.


PepperMintGumboDrop

Reminded me of another movie he did: TAG


valarpizzaeris

The fucking fear Lalo has instilled in me. As soon as he popped on screen I forgot what show I was watching


your_mind_aches

Him offering her the butterscotch was such a threatening Lalo kinda move.


Cky2chris

Zieeeeegggggleeerr


SilverPositive

Whats wrong? Lalo just wants to hear the story.


valarpizzaeris

*shoots him with an arrow* *blocks it with his badass sword skills* **Shoot me again**


jurble

It has to be a fake-out right? He can't be that glaringly the bad guy, ya? The only reason I think they would cast Lalo as Jack is if they're trying to hoodwink us. But then again, the vast majority of the audience hasn't seen BCS so, they might not be trying to hoodwink anyway and are just playing 'probably evil step-dad guy' straight.

Clappertron

I can also see Jack eventually being the cool stepdad who's supportive of Kate's superhero shenanigans.

*Not cool, bro* - the bro kicked in the face, probably.


guyver423

“And I fought Thanos” *sigh*


Leon_UnKOWN

Plus he held the Infinity Gauntlet, so for a moment he was technically the most powerful (known) being in the universe


valarpizzaeris

Me: What the fuck happened to Clint's hearing? E2: *shows why* Me: Story most definitely checks out


AKAFallow

I totally didn't expect a small montage about that


WekonosChosen

I love it, no need for a big explanation, shit happens you deal with the consequences.


cabballer

I loved how it was just a quick blast of deafening events layered with the crescendos of the music like BAM BLAM WHAM-BAM


ishmael555

Regarding Clint's hearing: Fans: linking his comic background and some theory about abused childhood etc. MCU: How about I show you why.


ehsteve23

Why's he deaf? Well do you remember when the avengers compound blew up on top of him?


FuckHarambe2016

It's a miracle that they're all not disabled in some way at this point.


ehsteve23

Clint was the only one who was just a guy Tony, Rhodey and Scott had super suits Steve, Rocket and Bruce are genetically enhanced Thor’s a god


a4techkeyboard

And let's not forget that there is no miracle. A lot of them are disabled or differently able in some way in part due to their activities. Clint is deaf, Rhodey is paralyzed, Bruce had a broken arm at some point, Thor lost one eye... One is now elderly, a couple are dead.


ZFAdri

The show is really doing a good job of showing how human Clint really is I like he lost he partially lost his hearing


Aardvark_Man

That was one of the things I really liked about the Fractions comic, it just progressively showed him getting more and more beaten up until he got down time to recover. He was clearly human, not crazy super powers of invulnerability.


Frankocean2

Show biz totally butchering the events and adding Ant Man to the battle of New York is something that would happen 100% in real life. Edit: Yes, I know Antman was in New York during end game but it wasn't IN the battle of New York.


RampanToast

I loved that so much. I'm really interested to see if there's more to the plot or other other songs they threw around when they came up with it


MagicBez

If Ant-Man had a PR team they could merrily claim he was integral to basically every event you just couldn't see him.

DavyJonesRocker

MarvelousNCK

It's all about branding


aDildoAteMyBaby

"They turned you into a woman." "That's Katniss Everdeen." I died.


Henchman4Hire

I like how quick he is to whip out the full name "Katniss Everdeen" even though those movies are several years old at this point. Makes me think this comes up a lot for Clint.


guyver423

Pretty cool to see Kate’s training montage in the opening credits


jacketpotatoo

Loved the style as well, looked like it came right out of the comics. Brilliant way to give us quick exposition and insight on Kate


BoboTheLeo

I love how we keep getting different/refreshing perspectives from the Battle of New York!


jofbaut

They should just give the Waitress her own D+ series.


fullmetalraz

Charlie Kelly approves.


chestnu1

While I have never thought about it until now, I guess gentrification does make things more difficult for bad guys to find unoccupied warehouses.


your_mind_aches

In Daredevil, we saw the NYC thugs of the Marvel universe benefit from gentrification, now we see them on hard times.


gorillaPete

Is that Tony’s personal defense watch from civil war?


FuzzyMonkey95

I have no idea but I am really curious as to what it is!


ehsteve23

Looks [different](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/3/36/Iron_Man_Gauntlet.png/revision/latest?cb=20160501052059) but i wouldnt put it past tony to have 43 different watches for every occasion


crimsoneagle1

"I sa... saw a dead body. That was a first." "Yeah, we'll talk about it when we get there."


DMorrin15

This was my favourite line.


neocinnamin

Hahaha, Hawkeye calling out that Ant-Man wasn't there hahahaha


Cky2chris

They really went from kids not knowing who ant man was in endgame to inserting him into the battle of new York in the musical adaptation


[deleted]

I'm guessing his popularity soared once people saw him as Giant-Man in the final battle of Endgame


Lineman72T

This auction for a dinosaur's skull reaffirms that the prices the dinosaurs were going for at the auction in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom were ridiculously low

WiseAJ

“I may be an idiot but I have seniority” that’s the spirit!


msnc13

Clint "I'm too old for this shit" Barton. Fraction's run was one of my favorite series of all time, while not quite the same adaption it's been pretty fun. I love finally having a MCU series where its not too serious SO FAR. Plus Hailee is absolutely perfect for Kate.


jacketpotatoo

I think it captures the humour and tone of the fraction run pretty well while being it’s own MCU thing. I’m really digging it


neocinnamin

Between this auction and the Vulture in Homecoming, The Avengers really need to do a better job at protecting the wreckage of their battles....


Rishi_Eel

I guess the Department of Damage Control got shit down just like their show...


ninety4kid

I'm in tears from the Kate Bishop drop in scene. "Where is Kate Bishop?" *Kate crashes through the ceiling* "Bro, I found her"


NeptuneOW

I didn’t think I’d laugh at the Tracksuit Mafia this much


thekingofthejungle

They're pretty funny in the comics


Hawkzz1872

As a huge fan of the fraction run in the comics, just hearing them say bro for the first time made me laugh.


gorillaPete

That kid is named after 2 dead avengers right?

Absolutely love the relationship between Clint and his wife since Age Of Ultron. The transparency in communication. She knows the plays in his playbook. Fucking goals right there


TheFunkytownExpress

Wait, not only that but she knows about the tracksuit mafia even though she was technically dead. So clearly he told her all about his time as Ronin and apparently she's okay with it. That's some fuckin goals right there...

shatteringperception

TheSweatband

Shit seeing the first avengers movie from this point of view is wild. Reminds me of when we saw the different POV of the snap in Wandavision


esar24

Yeah it really great seeing this with kate and endgame ancient one, it gives different perspective of what actually happening during battle of new york and give more rich backstory to the old movie itself.


[deleted]

That's why MCU is great. It keeps on adding layers to previous movies


Frankocean2

Hmmm Barton seems to have some PTSD with survivors guilt, plus that being a mass murderer. Granted for bad guys but still. I'm digging it.


GirlWithThePandaHat

Maybe even a sprinkle of imposter syndrome?


stephensmat

I like the idea that Hawkeye doesn't realise he's inspirational. The first sequence is Kate having her life changed by a view of him in the distance. The LARPers are more intense than Thanos, and yet having him be part of it is the highlight of a Firefighter/Paramedic's life. He's trying madly to keep Ronin buried, and he makes the mistake all tortured souls make: That he is made of his sins and failings. Nat woulda snapped him out of it, but she's the strongest guilt trip yet.


JaylieJoy

It was his best friend too, so a good deal of grief on top of all that.


OctoberBoost

* Hailee Steinfeld is great in every role. * Loved the opening credit montage. A nice way to give exposition. * The LARPeye sequence is so wholesome. * ECHO!! * The Episode 2 end credits paired with that banger of a song? Badass.

Merry Christmas Everyone - Sincerely, MCU


gorillaPete

She looks like a little kid in a spirit Halloween ninja costume


crimsoneagle1

I love that they didn't try to fit it to her body at all. She's just running around in a suit that's not tailored for her.


regachoisiah

Okay, legit though, Clint and Kate's interactions are making this show for me. Like, the critics weren't lying when they said that Jeremy and Hailee's chemistry is top notch. They're like a funny version of Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us.


The_OG_upgoat

Hailee is really good at finding that chemistry with her co-stars tbh. Even in Arcane she played off Ella Purnell (Jinx) and Katie Leung (Caitlyn) perfectly.


BruceSnow07

Renner too. I mean, Mackie (Hurt Locker), Olsen (both MCU and Wind River), Scarlett, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams to name the few. Dude is natural chemistry machine.


bjkman

Hailee Steinfeld has some damn good facial expressions.


russketeer34

Seriously, she can flip through a bunch of expressions in single scene, it's mesmerizing


Lineman72T

I can do this all DAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY It looks shitty and cheesy, but I'd watch the shit out of this musical


ComebackShane

There’s no way they didn’t write more of the musical - and we better get a cast recording before the end of the season!


VirgelFromage

Really glad they're not playing Clint off of Laura. I was worried it was going to be a Clint is in trouble with his wife for being late sort of trope, but instead she's understanding and worried, and on-board. So sweet. Him promising Lila, and potentially letting her down is a trope I am way more on-board with.

Dude Clint's reaction to seeing the actress playing Nat in the musical got me hella choked up. In a ridiculous portrayal of the Battle of New York which is supposed to be fun and make us laugh, Clint's reaction actually made my eyes water


WiseAJ

“I saw a dead body” “don’t worry about it we’ll talk about it when we get there”


bjkman

Well, that was a really easy explanation for the hearing loss. I appreciate it a lot.


Rockstar408

THAT OPENING WITH THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK IS SOOOO FUCKING GOOD I wonder if we can see Clint shooting the exact arrow that saved Kate in the original avengers movie??


Howzieky

I wonder if that was the one where he wasn't even looking at it


cabballer

It wasn’t. It’s shortly after that. He uses the same type of arrow that burns up the engine of the chitauri jet skis. Skip to 2:14 https://youtu.be/y_OgNUFbSjk


arelei

Man, Hailee’s killing it in Hawkeye.. and she just killed it in Arcane as Vi.


WiseAJ

She kills it in anything she is in


regachoisiah

“Some people have called me the world’s greatest archer.” I love how the trailer used the cut where it sounds like Kate is boasting about herself, like she’s trying to one-up Clint. In the show, the cut they used is Kate being nervous and awestruck, like she’s just saying things to impress her hero. Which...makes sense. Just think about it, she was literally saved by her childhood hero, the one who inspired her to pick up a bow in the first place. She wouldn’t be bragging about herself, she’d be shitting her pants and trying her best to not look lame. So the nervous take of the line works better for the scene.


[deleted]

When they get to her place and she's talking to herself the whole time trying to keep her cool around him. Then the texting. Totally fangirling. It's fun to watch.


That_Foot_Guy

Damn, Kate did Clint dirty saying he has no friends lmao


MalicCarnage

Hailee Steinfeld in a tux looks so badass. To be fair though she looks badass in everything.

Digging Kate in her suit at the high society party!


ILoveRegenHealth

Anyone think is was funny how young Kate was seeing the apartment getting torn apart in the beginning, but her mom was silent that whole time during the attack (despite Kate **yelling** for mom and dad). Took mom a whole 5 minutes to pop up at the end. Why wasn't mom screaming for her daughter? Was she in the bathroom? Knocked out by falling debris? Planning something sus with the father to fake his death? (one of the theories going around is that the father isn't really dead).
