Even Maya Lopez knew she did not want any sort of feud with a Black Widow. She said "peace out, until next time."

Quick Thoughts on "Echoes" from Hawkeye

I'm not the only one who thought this episode ended a little too soon, am I? The ending didn't even feel like a conclusion. It just felt like...a sudden stop. This makes me think that Hawkeye might be one of those Disney+ shows that are better to watch all the episodes at once rather than week to week. Because the way this week's episode ended made me feel unsatisfied and anxious to find out what happens next. That might be the point, but it hinders these episodes from standing out on their own and instead make them a part of an extra-long movie. Which, again, could be the point, but Hawkeye's type of thing works best if viewers have all the parts at once. Instead, it gives this feeling of watching a movie, stopping at a random section of it, picking it up again a week later, and repeating the process until the movie is eventually done. And, in fairness, it's an issue that you can argue with all the other Disney+ shows, but for some reason, I feel like it's a lot more noticeable with Hawkeye.

With that said...this week's episode is still a ton of fun.

Echo's backstory and origin are interesting, and I already want to learn more about this character who thrives despite multiple "disadvantages" that people would look at to doubt her.

The first fight scene is shot and choreographed decently, and the car chase that follows is handled pretty well.

Clint's "talk" with his son is bittersweet, and I loved how Kate tried to help him understand what Danny-boy was saying. It helps their relationship grow as partners, and I hope to see more stuff like that in the future.

And Kate drawing Clint's original comic book costume is pretty cute. Although, Clint going on about how he would never wear something bright and colorful is kind of ruined given how promotional material already reveals that he's going to wear a bright and colorful costume. And it looks pretty stupid to boot, too.

The one thing I'm wary of is these references to the guy on top. Because I can already tell the writers are trying to make us think that it's Kate's stepdad, which feeds into the "evil-step-parent" trope that needs to DIE. But another thing to worry about is fan theories. There are already people who are convinced that they're setting up the Kingpin, already forgetting their lesson about how Mephisto never showed up in WandaVision despite all the "hints." And here's the thing: I would love it if Kingpin made a return. And I would adore it if it was Vincent D'Onofrio who played him (BRING BACK DAREDEVIL, DAMN IT!). But here's the thing: We. Don't. Know. That it is. So when it's revealed that the guy on top isn't Kingpin, don't get mad at Marvel because you looked too much into something that isn't there. You'll only have yourselves to blame in that situation.

So, yeah. Fun episode, but it could have had a more fitting conclusion.
