Hawkeye Episode 6 Recap: MCU’s Most Pointless Series Bids Adieu

Hawkeye episode 6 — out now on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — put a neat albeit predictable bow on a humdrum Marvel collection, the smallest of the lot we have gotten up to now. The Tom Hiddleston-led Loki was seismic resulting from its multiverse angle. The Elizabeth Olsen-starrer WandaVision was revolutionary and good at occasions. And The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, handled some huge concepts though it did not ship. The solely debate I’ll have about Hawkeye, now that it is finished, is which was Marvel’s most forgettable collection in 2021. The contest is between the final two, if that wasn’t already clear and apparent. Farewell Hawkeye, you’ll not be missed.

Given the place the Hawkeye collection finale left us, it is unclear the place the brand new Hawkeye Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) goes from right here. Hawkeye episode 6 gave us nothing to counsel her future (although it does look like the top for Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton/ Hawkeye). Sure, there was a post-credits scene in Hawkeye episode 6 but it surely was solely ineffective. An prolonged track and dance sequence from Rogers: The Musical? Honestly, this looks as if discarded B-roll footage (it has not one of the foremost forged) that Marvel figured they may put on the finish as like “happy holidays” materials.

Aside from introducing Kate to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hawkeye‘s solely different main goal was to steer into the Echo spin-off collection starring Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez. Hawkeye episode 6 set her up for a brighter future albeit with purple in her ledger, as Maya ended the episode with a clear slate by killing those who had been controlling her.

You may argue that it transitioned Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) into her subsequent MCU chapter too, having made peace with Clint and her sister Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow’s (Scarlett Johansson) loss of life. I had imagined her battle with Clint to be essentially the most silly subplot given how simply it may very well be resolved, however Pugh is enjoyable to have round, I have to admit. And oh, lastly, Hawkeye episode 6 confirmed an intriguing backstory for Clint’s spouse Laura Barton (Linda Cardellini): she was Agent 19 at SHIELD in a previous life.

Now, Eleanor needs out. Fisk warns her that what she is beginning will not finish effectively, however she refuses and leaves.

Kate will get the video of their dialog from Yelena, simply as she bought the incriminating photograph on Hawkeye episode 5. Maybe Fisk ought to do one thing about having perfectly-placed cameras in his workplace — and if he actually needs them, then have higher intranet safety. Anyway, Kate is fearful what’s going to occur to her mom whom she has at all times regarded as fully harmless. Kate needs Clint to depart as that is her mess.
