HAWKEYE Episode 2 Breakdown & Ending Explained Spoiler Review | MCU Easter Eggs & Things You Missed

[Music] welcome back to the heavy spoilers show i'm your host paul and this video we're breaking down the second episode of hawkeye on disney plus if you haven't seen our first breakdown then make sure you go and check it out right now as we pointed out all the easter eggs and ties to the comics and it'll bring you fully up to speed before we dive into this one now we pick up immediately after the end of episode 1 with kate and clint meeting for the first time this highly differentiates from the comics as in those she was introduced in young avengers 1 back in april 2005. hawkeye was dead at the time after being killed in avengers disassembled and she ended up taking over the mantle they journeyed to kate's home above herman's hearty slice and clint asks where she learned to fight like that kate says she started martial arts when she was five which was of course further spurred on by the death of her father in the opening of episode one as they indicates place they're greeted by pizza dog who is based on lucky from the comics in the apartment we can catch a target against kate's back wall and this is somewhat reminiscent of the trophy that she had in the first episode which shared a similar colour scheme the idea of a target placed around someone's home was also somewhat mirrored in age of ultron when tony ended clint spawn and we could see one hidden away this target later popped up at the start of avengers end game when clint and his daughter were doing target practice and kate being somewhat of a surrogate daughter is nicely carried across in this kay gets changed and comes down wearing purple which is her signature color from the comics however it's also clint's 2 and we know from the trailers that they're going to be donning similar purple outfits at some point clint name drops attracts to mafia because well he knows who they are and as we learned in episode 1 they had many run-ins with him as the ronin in the comics the tracksuit mafia owned an apartment block that clint lived in and after they tried to extort the tenants he took over throughout the graphic novel he had several run-ins with them and we already know from the trailers that they're gonna appear throughout the series clint donning their own and mantle sort of makes sense as hawkeye was of course a well-known figure but in operating as the ronin he managed to carry out the crimes unbeknownst to the world however the avengers namely nap did know about what was happening and we also learned at the end of black without that val had a photograph of him unmasked just as kate reassures clint that the tracksuit mafia don't know who she is they arrive throwing molotov cocktails and i love how clint catches one and then throws it back against the wall of the apartment we can also catch a poster that says conquers the crime which is something that's associated with fencing foreshadowing the fight later on and yes i definitely pronounced it wrong now kate tries to be clever and put the fire up by shooting an arrow at a fire extinguisher but because of the pressurized air within it it just flies around the room and they have to abandon the suit at the apartment they head down into the subway on chambers street and this was actually the first scene that got posted on the internet where we got our debut look at kate in the mcu they head to a supermarket and kaye asks if they're gonna go to avengers tower to hide out but clint says tony sold that now you might remember at the end of spider-man homecoming that happy was moving out all the boxes from it to go upstate and this is because tony decided to move everything to avengers hq and to get rid of the building you might also remember that at the start of loki episode 5 that we could catch a variation on the tower which had kang written on it this was actually an alias of kang the conqueror who at least in one timeline had acquired the building this was before the multiverse was completely broken open so potentially this line was dropped here to hint that he may have purchased it and we know that kang is going to be a big baddie that slice throughout a lot of things so it just makes a ton of sense to pay lip service to that here now speaking of avengers buildings when hawkeye and kate head to the next location we see a list of names on the apartments and these include moira brandon in the comics brannan actually ended up selling her estate to the west coast avengers who turned it into their base of operations when hawkeye and his wife mockingbird went to visit her they were ambushed and unfortunately myra died during this just before she passed away hawkeye made her an honorary avenger so it's nice that they at least gave a nod to her here the other names could all mean something but with moira being the only person who gets their full name on it i'm guessing that she's the only marvel character here however if there's some other ones you recognize then make sure you comment below and let me know would you kindly also leave a like if you're enjoying the video and don't forget to subscribe for breakdowns on the series every single week okay talks her way in by saying she's got a pizza and they head up to your auntie's apartment who's away in florida inside the room we can catch a poster for creature of the dark galaxy with moira's name on it along with luke ballard who's actually a digital artist that does work for marvel so i'm guessing that he made this poster clint heads back to the apartment i absolutely love how he manages to steal a firefighter uniform and go inside it's such a slick one shot that shows his spy training coming back but unfortunately the costume has been taken at this point however after spotting a sticker for nyc larping clint looks online and discovers someone has taken it larping also showed up at the start of loki episode 2 and i'd never heard of it until the mcu so what the hell is a bro tell me now back in the apartment clint catches kate on the phone to her mother who brings up the black market auction and the explosion from the last episode there's kind of some hints to hear being the bad guy as this auction is never brought up again and jax doesn't get in any trouble for attending it so i don't really know how eleanor would be aware of it unless she had some doing in it or i'm just grasping at straws as always now the big theory going around at the moment is that eleanor is actually madame mask who played a massive part in the hawkeye comic book story mask actually held a black mark at auction for a tape that showed clint apparently murdering a dictator and if they are one in the same then elena could have been behind the whole thing she may have also murdered almond and that would make sense as he threatened her in episode one kate says she's multitasking by using frozen pizza to stop the swelling on her cut and also getting it ready for peter dog's breakfast pizza dog is the name that she gave the dog in the comics even though he was called arrow and at the moment i don't know what to refer to him as hawkeye fixes the cut on her head and i love how clint has won in the same position which kind of shows how similar they are clint returns to his hotel the peninsula and we see his son cooper watching a video of kate as the ronin saving pizza dog in the comics the dog got hit by a car and clint had to take him to the vets in the first issue but here they completely avoided that cooper is also wearing purple same as hawkeye's colors and he's about 45 years old i thought you got snapped thought he got snapped a liar now speaking of liars clint lies to his family about what's going on and this is the first christmas he would be having with them after the events of end game so he's pretty much giving up spending time with his real daughter to help out his surrogate one once more we catch the news anchor from the end of far from home who introduced jay jonah jameson into the mcu he's featured in several mcu films and it's great that they keep bringing him back to deliver these reports he's dropping the news about almond being killed the night before and how it may be connected to the ronin you can also catch an ad for rogers the musical playing on the tv which we of course saw in the last episode clint also takes his jacket off at this point and you can see his tattoo that he got an avengers end game after his family got snapped i love it mate i love it as soon as the life is gone we're out getting tattoos keem on now before we get into the next part of the video i just want to apologize from the bottom of my heart i know there's a lot of things that have been exposed about me on the internet recently and i'd just like to say a big sorry for all the

please do or i won't get paid and the the bank's going to take my house away so please go over there right now i'm begging anyway on to the next part of the video now they head into new york and we can see the disney store which probably selling iron man toys in there right now clint brings up his hearing aid and this actually pulls from the hawkeye run in which he had to wear one as he slowly started to go deaf he can't really pinpoint when he started to lose it but the guy's been through a lot over the avengers films and i bet it's annoying having to constantly listen to everyone saying he's the worst avenger he didn't even get a solo movie as sucker anyway we see some people cosplaying as superheroes in the street and these include two captain americas two iron mans hulk ant-man thor and a woman with a bow and arrow who kate thinks is him but it's actually katniss everdeen see you suck hawkeye you suck okay offers some advice it says that he needs some branding and that since the avengers appeared that people want heroes to wear their hearts on their sleeves this show and the graphic novel are very much deconstructions of what it means to be a hero and clint brings up that he's not selling halloween costumes or 20 a show though i've kind of been ragging on him i think it's because hawkeye is very much a hero that isn't marketable and it's where you see kids dressed up as him as they always tend to choose another avenger over him this is very much the case with the films too and as we mentioned he's the only one who hasn't had a solo film even in the first avengers movie he was very much sidelined to getting brainwashed for the majority of it but kate saw firsthand as a kid that he can be a hero she was very much inspired by him and if she can be then surely we can be too sorry for saying you suck hawkeye you know what you're not that bad of a guy now wait what you doing oh he said so he sends kate packing after giving her his number and he mocks the idea of tricaro so yeah you backed him off being much of an inspiration however we do know from the clips on the show that they will be making an appearance and this also pulls directly from the comics in which he had a lot of trick arrows too cake goes to him with his company bishop security and even though jack's uncle has just been murdered she still gives him a bit of a tough time in the comics jax duquesne was actually a character known as the swordsman and this somewhat hints towards the fencing ability that he has later on in the episode though he downplays his skills he's clearly adept at fighting as when challenged he shows that he's easily able to parry her this also explains why he was so eager to get the ronin sword i think he's very much being used as a red herring for who killed almond the pair of course had an argument during the auction so they're clearly setting him up in the comics jack's actually trained hawkeye but due to their similarity in age i kind of feel like they're not going to be connected even though it's always all connected clint travels to the larping event and he's pretty much drafted into having to play along in order to get the costume back before he enters you can see a sign which is in purple and gold and these are both colors that were used throughout the hawkeye graphic novel clint ends up doing it and they have a big slow motion action scene and i kind of felt this moment was very fetch questy and fillery we've gone from reality being warped in one division terror attacks in falcon in the winter soldier the multiverse and all time breaking up in the loki to larping and hawkeye so it just kind of feels like a step down clint even says that he fought thanos and yeah i'm probably being a scrooge as it's christmas but it feels very low level kate is asked to go to the police station and though nothing happens this episode i'm guessing that this plot thread will be picked up next time elsewhere is the fight to the death between clint and chris and i must admit the guy making the sword sound effects did make me chuckle a bit clint starts to soften up and he allows chris or other grylls to call him his real name now don't get too attached to girls as he's also from the hawkeye comic book in that he was murdered by the psychopath cozy who i believe is also with a tracksuit mafia grillz lived in clint's apartment and he got the nickname because he loved barbecues now this might not end up happening in the show but they do play up his nickname for a clear reason at jack's place he hosts dinner and kate brings up her knowledge of weapons which has helped her identify when someone is trying to stab her in the back this is of course how armand died which is when elena interrupts potentially hinting to her being behind it all the two end of fencing with jax down playing how good he is in order to try and win kate's favor elena says that she wants to bring kate into the fold at bishop security and though things settle down when jax offers her a butterscotch candy her spoiler sense flares up these were of course in almonds house and as he was killed by a sword it all points towards jax become a mate too obvious i'm not falling for this when mephisto is still out there now clint is ambushed by the tracksuit mafia and this calls back to the comic books in which they showed up to the apartment block and beat him with baseball bats they captured him and put a bag over his head and it plays out really similar to what we see in the show the leader says that she wants him alive which could be a nod to echo who we meet at the end of the episode or it could indeed still be eleanor but probably echo now echo is getting her own show down the line so it's going to be interesting to see how they bring this character into the series k tracks clint using her bishop security app and it triangulates his location and puts a target on it which is of course iconography that often shows up in hawkeye she rings him and i believe cause he answers as he's not rushing like the rest of the mafia cause he used to taunt cake quite a lot so it's nice that they kind of brought this over into the series causey is the only one other than ekko who doesn't wear a costume and in the comics the mafia did hire him to work alongside them now it turns out the mavia know that kate was in the costume and this puts clinton a dilemma as it was actually him who destroyed their operations kate drops in to save the day but it doesn't go too well she's donning her purple costume that's in line with the comics but realizing that she's brought a bow and arrow to a gunfight they're easily captured so at this point we're introduced to echo who's listening to a banger absolute banger ekko is actually a deaf character and this is why we see her moving her hands over a speaker system and being spoken to in sign language in the comics ekko has photographic reflexes and this gives her abilities similar to taskmaster honestly i wasn't a big fan of what they did with the character of taskmaster and the black widow movie and though i don't mind gender swaps they pretty much stripped the character of a personality and made her a complete robot i actually said that i would have loved to have seen ekko as a widow and i'm surprised that they didn't use her for that film as i think that would have made a lot of sense here we don't really know what ekko is up to but in the comics she can copy people completely no matter their skills that means she can become an expert ballerina or even a master guitar player just by watching someone it's the same when it comes to her fists too and i believe that she's going to pick up some archery abilities from hawkeye and kate throughout the entire season now this is likely why she wanted clint alive and we know from the disney plus day preview that the pair are going to escape and be chased by the mafia and echo i really hope things pick up as these two episodes were kind of fillery in my opinion i think they could have pretty much fit the plot points from both entries into one 60-minute episode and we could have cut things out like the larping and all the fencing stuff maybe clint will end up getting the larpers to become his allies and he'll give them real swords but knowing what we know at the moment it just seemed like a bit of a waste of time plot-wise now the series isn't terrible and there are some good bits in it from time to time but i kind of wish there was more urgency to it as it does meander at some points it's gonna be interesting to see what happens down the line and with next week's episode being the halfway point hopefully we get more engaging storylines involving echo causey and potentially the kingpin or madame mask and obviously i'd love to hear your thoughts on the show so make sure you comment below and let me know we're any competition right now and giving away three copies of the zack snyder dc trilogy
