Echoes

I'd consider myself a huge MCU Critic and nowadays most of there projects end up in huge generic cgi fights. Don't get this the wrong way: I really hope Hawkeye will end in a good action sequence (but in a way like the John Wick Movies did). This episode all in all showed me that there is a will. Good filmed fight scenes that are not getting massacred in the shell editing room. A brilliant chemistry between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld is able to bring A lot of heartwarming moments and a good laugh. And all in all In would say I really have an good time with the first 3 epsiodes so far. Only minus: i think the plot should move maybe a bit faster but I'm definetly invested into finding out more and I'm looking forward to the next episode :D.

Hawkeye hits the half-way mark with its strongest episode so far. By sidelining Kate's family issues for a moment, all the best components established in the premiere are able to shine. Clint and Kate's dynamic continues to be a delight and gets even more room to develop as their feud with the Tracksuit Mafia deepens. While the light and goofy tone continues (as it rightfully should, as it's Hawkeye's festive-flavoured MO) complexity is offered by the addition of Maya and an admirable exploration of deafness. And with the addition of the MCU's best archery action sequence yet, Hawkeye is very much on target.

Now this, THIS, is how you make a superhero TV episode. As far as superhero TV goes this is one of the best of all time. Absolute fantastic, and my hat and socks off to everyone involved.

Acting fantastic, even Hailee whom I have criticised a bit here show how great of an actress she is. Probably feeling more comfortable in the role. Directing stunningly done, camera work and CGi and action is just completely out of the park in another dimension. I was laughing and following with during the entire time. Pacing spot on. Such a fantastic delivery all throughout.

Maybe I am still high from seeing this, but I feel compelled to give this a 10/10. The only TV shows that have scored that high in my book the past few years before this is The Expanse and the fantastic Agents of Shield. That is how good this episode was.

Highly recommend this show (so far) and this episode is beyond great.

Im happy that we got to see Echo's story and they're doing a great job at making Clint likeable.

The action sequences were great! This episode is a fresh breath of air.

I didn't get bored I was hooked the entire time!

The ending though im so excited for the next ep!!

Jeremy Renner gets to bring his acting chops to bear as we take a peek into the mental status of Hawkeye, so much communication with so few words and a maybe, maybe not, cameo that will have Marvel aficionados rubbing their hands with glee.
