In this episode of Revengers: Friends from Work the Podcast, I will be discussing: Hawkeye. This is the eighth and final episode in a mini series where I will talk about each of the TV shows and movies of 2021. 

Clint Barton and Kate Bishop are trying to take down the Tracksuit Mafia. After Kate puts on the Ronin suit, she opens a whole can of worms and has the Tracksuits going after her thinking she is Ronin. Clint is trying to protect her from them while trying not to expose that he was Ronin. Clint is also trying to accept Natasha’s death and deal with that loss.

Kate Bishop as a kid seeing Hawkeye in the battle of New York. Clint leaving in the middle of the play. Maya’s backstory as to why she’s leader of the Tracksuit Mafia.

Clint: He was ready to put all the hero things behind him, but he’s constantly reminded of everything that he has done. Whether it’s seeing himself in a play or random strangers recognizing him and thanking him for everything he’s done, he’s never going to be able to get away from it. He finally has what he wants, he can finally go home and spend time with his family. He couldn’t go home with them at first because of the mess that Kate made. He tried to finish it as quickly as possible, but he couldn’t do it alone, and he needed Kate’s help. He tried to push Kate away, trying not to get too attached to her because he didn’t want to see anything bad happen to her. He couldn’t bear to lose another partner just like he lost Nat. Eventually Clint learns to open up to a new partner, and Kate and him stop the Tracksuit Mafia. Clint also learns how to deal with his grief of losing Natasha and helps Yelena with hers at the same time.

Kate: She lost her father at a young age during the battle of New York, and after seeing Clint in action, she wanted to be the one to protect her mother. When she first starts hanging out with Clint, she is fangirling over him, just excited to be in the room with him. Over time, she starts to learn that they are partners and that they need to work together. After Clint shuts her out at the end of episode 4, she doesn’t give up on trying to be his partner. Her persistence works, and Clint takes her back and they work together again.

I really enjoyed this show, it was something different than what we’ve seen before. I’m glad that Clint finally got the recognition he deserved. I’m excited to see that another one of the young Avengers has now been introduced, and I can’t wait to see where that journey takes Kate.
