HAWKEYE Episode 3 Breakdown & Ending Explained Spoiler Review | MCU Easter Eggs & Things You Missed

okay so hawkeye episode 3 is now out on disney plus and in this video we're going to be breaking down all the easter eggs hidden details callbacks to the comics and of course giving our review on the show we're going to be spoiling it all so if you haven't had a chance to check it out then i highly recommend that you check out now if you enjoyed the video then please hit the thumbs up button and don't forget to subscribe for puns that have all the hawkeye fans quivering without the way i'll stop that already now let's get into our breakdown of hawkeye okay so last week's episode ended with clint taken captive by the tracksuit mafia in a scene that pulled directly from the map fraction run however where things changed up is that kate bishop dropped in in the worst rescue attempt ever and she too got captured it was at this point that we were introduced to ekko who will be giving a full comic book breakdown on in just a bit who the wh who the hell was that i hope you're not watching this breakdown illegally mate now the episode is called echoes which is of course named after the villain that we get properly introduced to in this entry however going beyond that the description of the episode talks about how the pair are facing off against an expanding criminal conspiracy and i do like how the show is teasing there's a big bad in the background as it allows me to do 400 theory videos a week milking it for all it's worth the show has changed things up quite a lot from the way that they are in the comics so i thought i'd talk about ekko's backstory first from the source material and then we can discuss how the episode does things differently now as for echo in case you missed our last breakdown where we kind of touched on her skill set she's basically a mimic similar to taskmaster however ekko is actually deaf and she can completely copy someone's abilities just by watching them in the comics maya lopez was the daughter of a hitman named crazy horse who was murdered by wilson fisk as he was dying he put his bloody hand across maya's face and she later adopted this as one of her symbols in his dying breath crazy horse asked kingpin to raise his daughter which he agreed to he sent her to the best schools and it's during this time that she watched someone playing piano and managed to replicate it completely maya was trained by the best of the best of the best sir and in the comics she's gone toe-to-toe with characters like daredevil at several points she was actually first introduced as a love interest for matt and became one of the toughest people he's ever faced off against eventually she discovered that the kingpin had killed her father and she ended up going against him which could end up being the plot of his solo show that we know is coming down the line ekko is very much the perfect villain for this series i think as her father was killed much like kate's and this led her into a life of training she's also deaf and clint of course has a hearing aid so she's a really good mirror of the both of them i do think that ekko will end up becoming somewhat of a good guy at some point and in the comics she did end up turning into the ronin at one point the suit is of course a big focus in the series and i think it would be awesome if they set that story up for the future now in the show we start with a flashback to 2007 which is where we're introduced to ekko as a child due to her deafness she has to lip read but she's able to mimic the teacher incredibly well even without an interpreter at home he watches her and her father play shadow puppets on the wall subtly foreshadowing how she can shadow people's abilities and copy them completely this scene of her and her father playing out is of course a mirror of kate in the first episode and we see his both characters had a massive impact on their children's lives mai's father is played by zan mclarnon who you might recognize from things like dr sleep and also westworld he's a great actor and he brings a lot of heart to this role maya not only shadow puppets a dragon but she also brings him up too and asks if they're real dragons of course exist in the mcu with them appearing in films like chongqi however this could also be a nod to the netflix universe in the defenders we learned as the hand organization discovered bones of a dragon beneath new york city and as maya as a hand symbol on her face in the comics it could all be connected i'm not doing the voice now they also talk about how dragons could come into our world which would make them stronger and this is somewhat mirrored in maya she has to go to a regular school even though she's deaf but having to survive in these surroundings has made her even tougher we also learn that she has a prosthetic leg meaning that she's had to adapted things in more ways than one much like kaichi's trained in martial arts but she's someone who has to study people's body language because she can't rely on sound and therefore has to read the way they move it's here that we learn her dad is part of the tracksuit mafia and if you slow down the footage you can actually see some of them leaving as her father talks to her this explains why she partners up with them and this is probably the longest that one of their members has ever gone without saying bro now it's at this point that we see a man come in that touches her face and though we don't know who this is his clothing looks very similar to wilson fisk's and his laugh sounds a lot like vincent inoffrio's it's clear he's in charge and he's referred to throughout the episode as being her uncle this could be a note of the comic books as in those he was a father figured a maya so this is a change-up on that as ekko was much older when her dad died however her calling him uncle does make a lot of sense and it's still this sort of bond because she called him dad in the comics now i'm really hoping that kingpin doesn't become another mephisto but there's a lot of hints towards him being in the show including fat man order repair fat man is something that fisk was referred to as by the grim reaper so the location we join myra as an adult could be teasing towards it here we watch as she discovers the ronin who wipes out the mafia including her father he puts a bloody handprint across her face and this of course calls back to the moment that we mentioned earlier we can also see why ekko was desperate to have clint and kate left alive and we could have them being tormented by the mafia i thought it was absolutely hilarious when the rides stopped and then the mafia said they'd go and get more quarters and clinches goes yes now we also learned that one of the mafia members has bought imagine dragon tickets which kate implies are crap but you know i kind of like them now as you know we here at the channel love a good reach and kate disliking dragons could and it's a big could be hinting towards how echo loves them it's here she comes down and i loved how intimidating having her just walk in in silence is she's basically this strong silent type and you can really feel the power coming through the screen it's a great introduction and she realizes that clint is deaf he then tries to get the mafia off the back of kate by saying that she simply put on the suit i love this obsession over it and i think it would be great if like the comics she ended up taking on the mantle the ronin of course killed her father so her facing after this would very much be her embracing the darkest moment of her life it would be interesting if it turned out that it was kingpin who tipped clint off to their whereabouts and that would line up with the source material i do think that clint was the one behind it and not astounding though as he was aware of the mafia and had clearly had run-ins with them before clint says black widow killed the ronin and this could end up tying into the post-credits scene of black widow in which val said that hawkeye killed her i do wonder if this line will come back around should yelena show up in the series at some point and it'll show that they very much covered for one another black widow in some ways did kill leronan if we're talking things from a star wars point of view as she showed up and got him to stop using the persona now khasi starts to interrogate kate and maya loses it and grabs her which causes a distraction that allows clint to escape i absolutely love this scene in the toy store and the only real toys that we see lying around are dog ones including golden retrievers which could be reflecting how pizza dog is abandoned as well again we do we do do a bit of reaching here now though i was disappointed in the first two episodes this entry really stepped things up a gear and watching ekko fight shows just how much of a threat she's gonna be in the series she knows clint's weakness is that he's deaf but he's not adjusted like she is thus she kicks the hearing aid out of his head and grabs a bow and arrow to take him on at his own game not to keep racking on taskmaster but i felt like this is the way that the character should have been handled in black widow the fight scene here is great and watching kate and clint work together is what i really wanted to see from the first two episodes as it's flawless in this moment now after escaping the warehouse we get a scene that was pretty much shown in full during disney plus day this moment pulls a lot of the iconography and imagery from the map fraction run namely the issue that focuses around clint's girlfriend cherry in the box after he took over the apartment block he ended up starting a rivalry with the mafia and one of the girlfriends of the group became his this led to a car chase between them clint and kate that featured the car we see in the episode as well as the trick arrows as they leave the warehouse we see not only the car from the comics but we can also see the van behind it which belongs to the tracksuit mafia the company name is truster bro which is of course a nod to how they always say bro bro now there is some irony with it being a moving van as well as in the comics they own the apartment block that clint took over and made their move out of clint doesn't want to take the 72 challenger which is the opposite of the comics in which he and kate were the ones driving it in that the mafia rolled around and mini coopers chasing after them but here they make off in a car i don't i don't know what make it is mate more of a comic sky than a car guy but moving on now in the comics the group also wore racing helmets and though they aren't carried across i think that the scene manages to capture the feel of the original run really really well clint ends up asking kate to drive but he has to do it in the end even though his deafness stops him from hearing any replies from her as they pull out of the parking lot we can see the building has the same kb toys above it which just in case you don't know was an american toy store chain similar to toys r us bit of trivia there for my brit heads now they also pass a u-haul center which i kind of feel like might be some product placement especially as u-haul was also advertised during man of steel now this one shot chase scene is absolutely incredible and it's one of my favorite action moments in a disney plus show so far i absolutely love when they do one takes and having it as part of a car chase just really ticks all the boxes for me the music in the background we can also hear is called a mad russian christmas by the trans siberian orchestra and this not only ties in with the theme of christmas but also the mad russians are now chasing kate and clint now it's at this point that kate realizes she's gonna have to shoot but as clint doesn't have any regular arrows left they have to break out the trick once if you cast your mind back to episode 2 then you might remember that clint denied having any of these so it's quite funny that he's backtracked on that and yeah the guy has got some trick arrows throughout the mcu movies we've seen as clint has used a number of these and he even had one that could hack computers in the avengers and a usb won in what if which also pops up here in the comics there were numerous trick arrows including a potty one that held people in place sonic arrows that emitted sound explosive tip arrows similar to what we see in the show cable arrows smoke bomb arrows rocket arrows suction tip arrows and also boomerang ones and the show also brings some of these across including the suction arrow which is called the plunger one by kate i'm guessing that this is to clear out the toilet after nats had a big dump or it might be used to stick to surfaces like glass so that he can attach ropes to buildings and climb up them we do see a moment in the trailers where clint goes jumping out the side of a skyscraper so potentially that arrow could come back then there's also rope ones acid ones agatha harkness ones i'm guessing and it just adds so much to this scene my favorite is the pymtech one though and watching this make a giant arrow is absolutely hilarious now the chase ends at a bridge and in the comics this fight was ended by kate unwittingly bringing out a boomerang arrow one of the mafia took clint hostage and he told kate to let it go and she released it being a boomerang one and then came back around and took the mafia member out but here the escape is slightly more daring kate and clint jump over the side of the bridge and we see the pair turn around and fire a grappling arrow that they use to swing in on top of a train now this idea of clint jumping over an edge and then swinging around and shooting his bow and arrow grappling hook has been shown in several things that involve the character it's actually the first panel in the graphic novel run and going beyond that the character of course did it in the avengers that moment was also the first time that kate saw him and him saving her life was very inspirational to her as it's pretty much what made her become an expert in archery so her doing this with him is great and it's probably my favorite shot in the series so far now on the train the peg get a moment to rest and behind them we can see that there is a poster that talks about family therapy the show itself is very much centered around the idea of families as we have kate and her mother's strained relationship clinton his kids and also ekko's father and her uncle there was also jack and armand and though this poster might not be intentional i like how it ties into the overarching themes i think the dialogue here with the deafness works really really well and they've managed to use the humor of the situation to really lighten the mood however they also use it to bring the pair together with really heartfelt moments such as kate having to relay a message from clinton nathaniel because he can't hear it you can see clint wants to be with his kids but it's super difficult for him because he's having to support kate as we get establishing shots of new york we can also see rogers the musical which so far has appeared in all of the episodes it was of course where clint visited in the first one and it appeared as an advert in episode 2. i would love it if the final fight in the season actually took place at this broadway show and i think that would be a great location to end it all at back at moira's apartment the two recuperate and in case you missed our last video myra was a character from the comics that helped to found the west coast avengers estate we have a much more in-depth breakdown on her over at that one so definitely go check it out right after this now on the other side of this we see his karzian echo worry about their uncle finding out and cause he worked for kingpin in the comics potentially tying into our big theory hawkeye and kate have a great back and forth in the diner after his hearing aid is fixed and they talk about what being the cost of a hero is this is something clint has experienced firsthand and i loved watching the young up-and-comer talking to the veteran kate talks to clint about his branding issue and she draws a costume for him that's based on the one from the comics now an easter egg that was actually cut out last week came during the larping scene due to a special featurette that was released showing behind the scenes stuff we now know that there was someone who was in hawkeye's classic costume from the comics this was cut and now people at the time were kind of scratching their heads as to why after seeing the scene it makes a lot of sense clint says he's very much not a role model which is why he's not embracing the branding and though he has a dark past he dropped everything in order to save kate the pair walked the pizza dog and kate calls carsey the hot guy which could be a nod to the comics in which the pair dated they also talk about the mafia and how there's someone overseeing the entire operation now one of the big mysteries surrounding the show at the moment is who bought the avengers tower i really hope that it doesn't turn out to be another aerospace engineer situation like we had with one division but as this has been teased at in movies like homecoming and in episode 5 of loki we could be getting someone important now the opening of loki episode 5 teased that at least in one timeline a kang variant had bought it as the name keng did appear on it however last week i was on the phantom wire podcast agents of fandom and the host tj said that he thinks wilson fisk might be the one who purchased it i absolutely love this theory i think it would be such a great twist to have him being behind it all as it would not only be a big reveal but it would be a huge gut punch to know that the villain was now in charge of it though i've seen mention of norman osborne being the person who's bought it i'm not exactly sure what they're doing with the character in the mcu as no way home will probably be his first appearance in the universe now fisk is laced throughout the episode if you look closely enough and after deducing that jack is involved in it somehow they head to elena's penthouse after hacking jack's computer several ties to the mafia come up including karzi's name but i think at this point he's pretty much a red herring and that it's eleanor who's behind it like i'm no sherlock holmes but yeah my spoiler sense is tingling on this one they also learn that cause he is working for sloan limited which could be a nod to willie sloane an assassin that worked for kingpin in the comics there are a lot of characters called slono and marvel so yeah might not be him and i'm sure there's someone much smarter in the comics who's already figured this all out so let me know below okay is quickly locked out of the system and in the apartment jack holds the ronin sword to clint's neck which ends the episode in the comics he was a character known as the swordsman and both he and hawkeye were friends and foes at several points i actually think that he might end up joining them in the next entry after clint explains where this sword came from jack clearly idolizes the ronin so it makes sense to me that he would actually be an ally to them and he's of course trying to impress kate so that's where i can see things going now as for my thoughts on the episode i kind of want to address some comments i got on the last two videos i did for the show and then we'll jump into the leaks i said i was a bit disappointed with the first two episodes and because of that a number of people kicked off calling me a hater saying i've changed and stuff but yeah that's just how i felt about it there's a this is weird thing when you talk about marvel stuff where if you enjoyed it you get called a shill and if you say you didn't like something you're automatically a hater i've talked about it a lot in the last week and i've said i thought there were too many filler elements like the sword fighting the parties and laughing however there has been people who've said they've liked those elements which is absolutely fine and just in the same way that i like the eternals because of certain things in it i know there's people out there that dislike the movie for the same reasons i enjoy it it's just kind of weird to me people can't accept that your opinion means you like some things and don't like others and they automatically have to brand you as being either a shill or a hater a weird criticism i got was that people said i didn't like the show because it wasn't the typical marvel humor stuff that's full of jokes but yeah i don't know what you are watching because the show definitely has jokes in it anyway what i'm saying is just let people enjoy what they enjoy and dislike what they dislike there's not really an agenda here and i know there's a very small section of the fandom i think everything has to be in black and white where you either loved it or you hated it but yeah i was just kind of met on the whole thing now as for this episode i thought it was really good so yeah thumbs up you guys i'm back to being a shill and i much prefer seeing kate and clint working together alongside each other as opposed to how it was where they went off and kind of did their own things they've got a really interesting dynamic relationship and having echo in this episode really added to it quite a lot it's weird thinking we're now at the midpoint of the show and though i've had criticisms of it i am still enjoying it even though i probably sound like i'm moaning a lot so yeah roll on episode four and if you don't want any of the spoilers then this is the part where we say goodbye now as for the leaks on the show i know i've probably sprung these on you a bit fast so if you don't want anything ruined about the upcoming episodes then i recommend that you turn off now also if you've enjoyed the video so far then please give it a thumbs up and subscribe otherwise you're a sucker who probably likes other better breakdowns from other better channels you idiot what's wrong with you we've got the top quality stuff here anyway you might have seen recently that there was a leaked image of kingpin flowing around online i don't want to show in this video in case it's real and i get a copyright claim for it but it had vincent and ofrio back as new york's biggest crime boss however they'd either put him in a fat suit or made him look bigger with cgi as the guy was much larger than we'd ever seen him before and recent photos of vincent and ofrio don't look that rotund yes i said rotund now there was then a further image released that looked like the initial ones but it had been photoshopped and no i'm not showing it here vincent did debunk it pretty quickly now i'm still unsure of the initial ones but you can go and check out his twitter and you'll see the one he responded to which does look very fake leaks are still saying that he will be in the show and vincent himself has been teasing things like responding to the trailer video for the series saying this is going to be fun personally i do think that he will be in the series but if i was guessing i think it'll be more of a tease towards the end with a focus being squarely on characters like echo eleanor and jack for the moment anyway that's the video and i hope you enjoyed the breakdown i know it's not a massive leak but i just thought i'd talk about that as it's one of the big things surrounding the show at the moment either way there are a lot of things to talk about so make sure you comment below and let me know your
