So This Is Christmas?

This show definitely did not disappoint. It sets up what's to come later perfectly. This finale didn't disappoint. Wish it was a little longer than 6 episodes though.

This has been a great ride and a lovely show. By far the best TV of the new Marvel shows and very entertaining. Sadly they did not stick the landing properly.

This last episode do have a lot of things going for it. The action is great, all those trick arrows are so much fun and created a lot of laughs. Yelena VS Kate was amazingly fun to watch. There is also emotions, several great payoffs, an owl and a lovely family ending.

On the negative side the Kingpin cameo and events did not really work with the end shot having me roll my eyes. Kate taking a beating that probably should have killed her actually pissed me off. Only one punch from Kingpin should have knocked her out, but she kept going like this is some kind of cartoon. Yelena VS Clint did not work either with the non-emotional babble about Natasha also getting me to roll my eyes. The never ending track suit mafia henchmen running into arrow after arrow was so much fun, but it also made no sense whatsoever.

I think the main issue I had with this final episode, and the show as a whole, is that it feels rushed. There should have been 1-2 more episodes to build things up properly.

In the end though this was fun. A fun show and a fun finale. I am very happy with this show and I hope it comes back in one form or the other.

Marry Christmas everyone and a happy New Year!

The show did NOTHING to make me care for Echo and her plot. I can't believe they didn't even tease her own solo project. She isn't interesting in the slightest according to this show. I'd legit rather see 6 episodes of Eleanor's business dealings than some more poorly-choreographed fight-scenes. Ugh.

Clint and Kate have a confrontation with the Tracksuit Mafia.

This is a fun and enjoyable finish to the series.

There is action and emotion aplenty in the Christmas showdown and most of it is done very well. The humour works well and keeps everything light hearted.

The central action sequence is superbly crafted with strong action that is both exciting and funny. What's not to like about all those trick arrows?

Most of the character arcs resolve in satisfying ways, particularly the two main stars. Some of the more sentimental moments are a bit OTT for my liking, but I am a bit hard-hearted when it comes to things like that.

I think the scenes involving Yelena are hit and miss. I loved all the banter with Kate, plus her contribution to the action comedy is great. However, the conflict with Clint feels a bit forced. We know what happened to Natasha was not Clint's fault and we know they wouldn't risk make her character unpopular by killing Hawkeye, so it all feels a bit of a contrivance to get the character a prominent role. This isn't a big problem as Florence Pugh is excellent once again and very enjoyable to watch.

Vincent D'Onofrio makes a great appearance as Kingpin, but there's only so much you watch someone having various violent attacks an emerging unscathed before it feels repetitive and a bit pointless.

All performances are of a high standard and the production values are top-drawer.

Kingpin was so menacing in the beginning of the episode and was treated like a Tracksuit gangster towards the end. Better do him justice in his next appearance.
