    Hawkeye - Episode 6: So This Is Christmas?

    Holy SMOKES, what a finale, fans! The Avengers’ Number 1 archer finally brings its solo series to an awesome conclusion with Hawkeye’s final episode. Kate and Clint stand together as the team we had been waiting for, and Kingpin takes center stage as one of the series’ final big baddies! [***SPOILERS!***] Well, you can’t say we as fans don’t ever get what we want! Complete with cosplay-level hero costumes, more trick arrows (Bye-Bye, Bros!), and some truly comic-accurate Hawaiian Kingpin, these hosts are considering themselves content in the series conclusion. This week we not only got closure on loose ends, but we also got high quality fight scenes with just the right amount of fun mixed in. And what archer series would be complete in its final episode without quivers overloaded with TRICK ARROWS?! We actually lost count, but that’s ok—there’s always time for a re-binge. Though we do finally find answers to our many questions over the last few weeks, Michelle and Adam still continue to ponder a few others: Is Clint’s story in the MCU finally over? Did Kingpin really meet his end with Maya? Adam thinks not… Does Kate’s toe-to-toe match with Kingpin set the stage for her being worthy of joining the Avengers? Now that we know the watch belonged to Laura, will her theorized alter ego “Mockingbird” come into play in the future? And where on earth is Val in all of this? Regardless of those questions, we believe Hawkeye’s finale was worthy of applause, and we highly recommend binging at least once or twice. One of the biggest highlights to take away, without a doubt, has to be the unforeseen “sisterly bond” between Yelena and Kate, as they can’t decide whether to fight each other or compliment the other’s fighting styles. And if you watch for nothing else, watch it for the final big fight scene—because these archers know their marks! Stream our latest podcast episode as we cover all the fun! And tune in next time for more of our nerdy coverage of what’s yet to come, as we await the next biggest releases: Moon Knight, and MORBIUS!

    Hawkeye - Episode 4: Partners, Am I Right?

    What a RUSH! Not only are we finally getting closer to answering our burning questions throughout this series, but this week’s latest episode did not disappoint with a phenomenal final battle scene and a cherry-on-top reveal. Not only that—but are we closer to finding out Michelle’s theory on Eleanor being bad might have been right all along? [***SPOILERS!***] Well, we may have a new theory on our watch mystery now, fans. Could Michelle’s belief that the watch in fact belongs to Clint’s wife, Laura, be accurate? She does, after all, pose some very good points/questions: How would Laura know how to speak German? We’ve never really learned the story of how Clint and Laura met The quote about the watch’s owner “not being in the game anymore” could easily point to Laura and a potential past involving S.H.I.E.L.D. There’s little evidence so far suggesting the specific gender of the owner (so who’s to say it belongs to a man?) As Adam and Michelle continue to ponder their thoughts on that mystery alone, there’s still plenty more to dig into, including that secret call Eleanor made, more comic-accurate Easter eggs, and our hosts’ difficulties with word pronunciations… Adam can’t get enough of Hailee Steinfeld’s natural fangirl energy as Kate (“Can I tell you a secret…? I’m talking to an AVENGER!”). Plus, who doesn’t love a little “partner” holiday bonding over Christmas movies (and trick shots!), superhero B & E’s, and more heart-felt moments over hot chocolate hearing the tale of the shot Clint “didn’t take.” And Michelle calls ‘em like she sees ‘em, perfectly predicting Yelena’s surprise entrance at the episode’s conclusion. Only two more episodes to go! Make sure you’re caught up on all the adventures by listening in to our latest podcast episodes as we cover more of the Disney+ series Hawkeye.
