[QUOTE=LifeIsILL;5729201]That was my main problem with the Arrow show. They were afraid to go out with his trick arrows.

8 seasons, and it kickstarted a whole slew of CW DC shows. I think it turned out very damn impressively actually. If only all superhero shows could boast such success.

[QUOTE=Hypestyle;5728830]I'm intrigued that another Marvel Christmas story is out there. Iron Man 3 was the first, right?
Let's see lots of action, and lots of trick arrows: ice-bomb, smoke bomb, boomerang... Break out the boxing glove, for once![/QUOTE]
Hey, maybe Shane Black can direct an episode!
[QUOTE=babyblob;5729016]If they bust out a boxing glove arrow I will lose my mind with pure joy![/QUOTE]
Did Hawkeye ever use a boxing glove arrow? I thought that was Green Arrow.

Yep - I remember the Arrow thread blowing up when he did that. Some fans really love those silly easter eggs and elements. And that's not a judgement either, I am one of those fans.:D
Still, don't think Hawkeye should follow suit. That's one of those things you save for a later season.

He had another Boxing Glove Arrow I think he used on Dinah once.

They actually used a lot of trick arrows on the show...parachute arrow, hacking arrow, bulletproof shield arrow...

Way more Christmas focused then I thought it would be. I enjoy Renners Hawkeye so it's gonna be nice to see him get some more focus. Yea while I don't want want them to get silly but I do hope for more variety of arrows. They can do out there arrows without going campy. Like a Foam arrow that incase people in it when it explodes. Magnet arrow to disarm people. Actually now that I think about it he has used a shit ton of different arrows in the mcu. Usually it's one and done though. He had a thermite arrow,That electrical trap one he used on Vision,The computer hacking arrow,explosive,Electrical one he put in Wanda's head,Pulse one he used on Klaws men in AoU, and he's used a grapple one a few times I think.

I've been looking forward to this, second most anticipated show(Moon Knight is my top most anticipated however). I've been impressed with Hailee Steinfeld since she hit the scene in the True Grit remake.
I don't know her whole filmography but I then saw her in the Pitch Perfect series and Bumblebee.
My wife and I keep saying we are going to watch her show Dickinson on Apple+, we just haven't yet.
Sooooo, when she was cast as Kate(frankly a character I've not read much of) I was further intrigued.
The trailer gives off a great vibe. Biding my time with What If? till October.

- Why isn't Clint's wife with the kids? Why is he even somewhere his kids would need to travel to see him at? He talks about coming home and it seems like he's texting Velma so it doesn't seem like they're separated
[/QUOTE]
I just figured it was Clint taking the kids on a little trip while his wife got a weekend to herself. Hell maybe she is pregnant again.

You should try The Edge of Seventeen, it's a nice little movie and Steinfeld really gets to shine in it.

Edge of Seventeen...I'll go look up a Youtube trailer shortly.
Thanks for the heads up!

Feels like a David Aja cover.

First two episodes debuted today. Show is shaping up to be great. I like how the Russians are straight from the Fraction run. Being a bunch of menacing dumbasses. It shows Clint being deaf in his left ear just like the book
[Spoil]the ronin costume tying everything together is pretty neat. I hope the show dives into Clint time as Ronin[/spoil]

Watched the first episode this morning. A little confusing but I liked it.

[B]*****THOUGHTS ON EP 1 & 2 *******[/B]
I'm enjoying it a lot so far. This is also the second time (after "Runaways") where I'm watching an MCU thing with no knowledge of the source material. (Fraction's series) That said:
-- Awesome way to introduce the Swordsman. It was cool to see that he's not just a collector of swords - the real duel is obviously coming...
-- I know Kate's been training for years, but competitions don't exactly translate to real world applications, like fighting with wine bottles or getting shot at and she seems to take it all in like it's a day in the life. I know this isn't exactly a realistic show, but for me to buy it, I need at least [I]some[/I] indication that she's been getting into trouble or getting into real fights outside of competitions to bridge her experiences for me to buy how she's been able to jump into this so easily.
-- I don't know the comics, but I'm guessing her mom's the Big Bad. Something with her security company... I can't decide if Swordsman is in on it, being used or if they're partners.
-- What's with that watch? Is it Stark's? Do they think it can be used to summon an Iron Man suit? I'm sure someone already has that figured out, but I may avoid media on this and let myself be surprised by the story.
-- I know everyone loves Pizza Dog, but it made no sense to me that Kate would chose to chase the dog in that moment when it took off. It wasn't in danger until it ran into the street - I didn't get that part.
-- I think Clint's "resigned downward head droop before doing something he doesn't want to do" is now his thing as much as Loki's hair flip. I think it says a lot about him, and I look forward to seeing it more on this show.
-- I like the Nat moments they're peppering throughout - Renner really sells it. I imagine this will come to a head when Yelena shows up.
