But did the show hit the mark?
Or is Clints Christmas adventure just another mediocre mark on Marvels Disney+?
Thankfully, thats not the direction his story took.
Then, there was Clint’s family, which got their most screentime ever.
The subtly-played dynamic between Laura and Clint got the chance to shine inHawkeyes solo outing than ever before.
The two of them are undoubtedly one of the purest couples in the MCUsorry, Peter and MJ.
There was someone else, however, who got an invite to the Barton family: Kate Bishop.
It told audiences much about how the character ticks in such a short span of time.
After all, partners have to match.
The dynamic between the duo was flawless.
This stark difference helps build both characters toward betterment in a satisfyingly organic way.
Theyre perfect for each othereven if just one of them knows it, if only partially.
This excellence was increased tenfold with their time in the finale.
If Marvel Studios is reading this, know that they need to meet again sooner rather than later.
It seems like a good plot thread to start the next time Pugh graces the MCU.
The Bishop Extended Family
Tony Dalton gave a fantastic and fun performance as Jack Duquesne.
When it comes toHawkeye, however, his place in the story still worked.
With Jack came Kates mother, Eleanor Bishop, played by Vera Farmiga.
The twist’s effect primarily resides in Kate Bishops story and never really serviced Eleanors character.
Audiences could have used some more time to connect with Eleanor’s struggles.
Viewers, however, were hardly able to experience any of that themselves.
The group provided plenty of laughs, and the dynamics between the core players in the organization were solid.
One of those higher-ups was Fra Frees Kazi, whose character is starkly different from his comic counterpart.
Not necessarily, but at the same time, the shows attempt to give him depth didnt ultimately land.
That depth was two-fold:his secret relationship with Mayaand his (forced?)
Echos presence is intimidating, and her motives are immediately relatable.
Maya also served as a perfect mirror for Clint, mainly for their hearing disabilities.
The problem is that after Episode 3, the focus on the character lessened dramatically.
Maya became a background character, never really getting the time she needs to shine.
This is particularly notable for Echos relationship with her Uncle.
Yes, this is Hawkeye’s show, so theoretically, it shouldnt be a problem.
But the finale makes it one with that final cliffhanger scene where she shoots Kingpin.
The entire last moment with Fisk barely had a fraction of the impact it shouldve had.
Hopefully, that anticipation is able to intensify as it gets closer to production.
The Fat Man Returns
It was fantastic to see Vincent DOnofrios Wilson Fisk once again.
Well, now hes back, and the big mans gained some massand strength.
He also happens to be targeting an Avenger this time around.
While theres no face-to-face between Hawkeye and Fisk, the Kingpin does go up against his partner.
The LARPing scenes, and their crew, didnt always land their comedic bits and often outstayed their welcome.
What will come next for the two archers?
Will their stories remain connected, or will Kate be on her own the next time audiences see her?
Theres plenty of fuel for the fireofHawkeyes story to continue.
