In the omnibus section, we'll be talking about 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.400 organized crime in Marvel Comics. In the end game, yet 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:59.440 another game of assembly required. Let's go. Let's start with 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.960 episode two of Hawkeye hide and Seek, director by Rhys Thomas, 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.320 written by Eliza Clement. It opens right on the heels 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.320 of episode one. Clint drags Kate Bishop, who had recently 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.160 rescued from the Tracksuit Mafia and who is wearing his 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.400 old ron in costume that is evidence in multiple murders 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:23.160 across multiple international jurisdictions, into an alley, and he doesn't unmasking, 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.280 and he immediately says, come on because he sees before 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.000 him a nine year old. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:33.679 Girl too happy to be in the superhero life. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.000 Yes, Kate naturally is you know, a little discombobulated. She 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.560 has just once again fought a bunch of organized crime figures. 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:47.480 She recently saw the corpse of her mother's fiances uncle. 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.880 We're that rich. The math of the family becomes very difficult. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.880 Yes, And now she is meeting her hero, you know, 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.960 all in the space in a few minutes. She has 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.680 spent years study Clint from afar. Now she's like seeing 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.080 them up close. As they're walking, She's like, oh, are 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.200 you skinning for throats? And she's like, listen, I'm a 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.800 black belt at fifteen, like I am one of the 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.200 best archers in the world. I'm ready for this. Back 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.679 at Kate's three bedroom bunker in the East Village or 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.040 wherever it is, Lower East Side somewhere, Clint meets the 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.519 Pizza Dog and he's like, give me my suit, Kate, 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.680 you got to give you my suit. Kate clearly saddened 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.799 by the prospect of having to give up the suit again, 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.760 not understanding the the what it's been through, and she 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.080 tells him listen, I got it at this black market auction, 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.200 a little shady place. I beat up a bunch of 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.480 mafia guys. And by the way, you're my favorite adventure, 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.480 she insists. Listen, nobody, I don't worry about anybody tracking 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.960 the suit to me like I had the mask up nobody, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.640 I got it, I got it, got and Clint is like, okay, listen, 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.200 that's good because again a lot of people don't like 0:03:59.240 --> 0:03:59.920 the person wearing this. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:06.680 I want to go into it, but there's a history there. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.880 About in the history like it goes back to the snap. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.560 I don't want to talk about it. We're good. And 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.560 then of course the tracksuit Mafia show ab outside the 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:26.040 start throwing Molotov cocktails and throwing a lot bro Clint 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.279 and Kate fight back. Kate gets to show off her 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.240 archery skills, which are really good. Unfortunately, her apartment is 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.719 now fully engulfed in flames. Kate Clinton lucky, thank god, 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.360 all escape. They take the subway to the nearest right 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.120 aid for some near sword and some band aids, and 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.160 Kate is like, yo, we're going to Avengers Tower right 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:49.200 Tony sold it, unfortunately, says probably before the move to 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:54.000 the Upstate compound, which, honestly, Kate, you should have seen 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.000 that in the news on like Courage or some like 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:02.640 Gothamist or some like some the real estate blog. Somebody 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.080 should have announced that they go to a place that 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.440 Kate knows. Kate's like, I know a place we can go. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.040 It is the apartment of her aunt were Brandon More 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.320 is out of town. Now, FYI, fun Easter Egg. More 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:19.840 Brandon in the Marvel Comics is a like a Golden 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:25.520 Age of Hollywood. You're a former actress who ends up 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:32.159 selling her compound, her mansion down by like Redondo, to 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.320 the Avengers, to Clint Barton so that they can use 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.760 it for the West Coast Avengers compound. So really funny 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.200 easter egg. We're heading out west maybe. And of course 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.240 Kate in the comics has a history of hanging out 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.240 in La and so Clint is like, take some frozen 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.760 peas putting on your wounds. I'm gonna go find the 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.400 suit and I'll be back. He goes back to the apartment, 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.919 does not find the suit, but he does see a 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.720 sticker on the fire Department vehicle outside that says New 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.200 York's LARPing Club. I don't know how that exactly is 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.080 a connection, but I'm going with it. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.839 Yeah, Like it's a big win for the Larby community today. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.760 They were eating today. You know, they got to give 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.400 some love to those NYU Larper's, you know, shout out 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:14.239 to my boy girls. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.120 Clint comes back to morras. He is grumpy, he misses 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.440 his family, et cetera, et cetera. Kate is like, you 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.360 found a clue? You did? I know it? I can 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.240 smell it on you and Kate and Clint is like, 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.039 yeah no. While he was away, Kate has been working 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.480 on highly accurate police style sketches of the Tracksuit Mafia vases, 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:35.919 which is a very funny moment. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.080 Yeah, yeah, you know she's a triple threat. Yeah, expert 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:41.440 archery and artists. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.480 I didn't know she had it like that, you know, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.160 Clint Google's New York City larpin Club with I mean, 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.800 we knew the guy was accurate. Right in the in 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.240 Ultimate Marvel, Clinton Barton kills like a bunch of batties 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.240 with his fingernails. He prizes his fingernails out of his 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.120 fingers and he flicks him at guys and kills them 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.880 like that. Here he has the most accurate tapping fingers 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:09.320 on a phone streen literally anybody's ever seen in like 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:10.440 anywhere in the world. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:11.680 He's just like. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:20.960 You. There's no backups, no deletes. He ends up right 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.600 on the instagram of a gentleman named Grills, who is 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.840 one of the firefighters. He stole the Ronan suit and 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.320 now he's just straight up wearing it, broadcasting to the 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.480 world that he has his suit. He'll be at a 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.080 LARPing event. Shortly, Clinton Kate watch a New York One 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.760 report about Armand's murder, and they discover that the someone 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.600 wearing the Roman costume is a person of interest in 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.560 the case. Kate is now a suspect and a murder. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:50.200 Clint is increasingly annoyed, and he's like, listen, you got 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.000 to stay put. Your cops are looking for you, organized 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:54.440 crime wants to kill you. You got to stay here. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.440 Kate learns about Clint's hearing a pairment. She asks him 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.400 about it, and Clint's like, listen, I've been banged up 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:03.080 for a while. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.840 Yeah, I've been blown up so many times, like he 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.520 got a dealer's choice ones. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.920 You don't get it, like I who knows? Like how 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.240 this happened? And Kate and what is kind of one 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.400 of the early really chemistry forming moments. I love the 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.400 Haley and Renner are wonderful together, but here in a 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.640 really wonderful chemistry forming moment, Kate is like trying to 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.120 convince Clinton you need to be more out there. You 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.320 need to be more of like a front facing hero 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.520 because people need it right now, like post snap you 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:39.240 know she is, you know, post COVID, you know people, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.679 people need it. They split up. Kate goes to her 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.880 mom's office at Bishop Security and Clint goes to get 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.800 the suit at the at the larpening event and they 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.640 trade numbers and Clint's like, here's my number unless Sano 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.920 shows up again, do not fucking call me at all. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.439 Kate at Eleanor's office. What does she find? He finds 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.439 Jack just chilling there.

Kate gives Jack her condolences 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.000 because of course his uncle was recently murdered. Jack, it's 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.959 rolling right off his back, man, He's not. He's moved on. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:30.080 Yeah, yeah, that mustaches his lack of caring for his uncle. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.439 Like he's chilling, he's he's good with it. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.760 He keeps a deep inside and in fact, he's like 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.760 it seems to be actively trolling Kate, Eleanor and writes 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.319 Kate to dinner. Later at the penthouse, Jack is cooking. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.040 You gotta try his risotto, Kate say his bet, but 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.439 I get to steer the conversation. Okay. Clint goes to 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.600 the LARP. Long story short, he gets a suit back. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.199 He has to take an embarrassing l to grills in 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.719 person in front of everybody, but he does get the 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.640 suit back. At Bishop Security, Kate gets a shocking call 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.959 from Detective Caudle of the NYPD. I'd like to speak 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.080 to her. Kate's like, I'll come in the following day, 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:10.520 not today. 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.240 Yeah, I got some stuff on the docket today. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.080 Yeah, we'll do that.

Clint tells Laura the 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.000 first of many calls. Listen, it's gone. I'm being late 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.040 and using coded language, which I gotta tell you I 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.520 think plays into our theory. 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:31.920 Yep, yep, you know what I mean. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.640 Laura has been in that life. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.680 Yeah, she's a little bit too cool to a little 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:39.160 bit too well. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.439 Yeah, lose it a little bit too well. I think 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.880 we're going to see her swing into action. I think uh, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.480 and he basically tells her, listen, we're gonna I gotta 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.760 settle things with the tracksuit mafias. And it's clear that 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.720 he has some experience with him, He's aware of them, 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.920 has tussled with him before. Perhaps he says he's not 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.920 sure how high up this whole thing goes, suggesting a 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.319 larger criminal figure, a kingpin, if you will, maybe behind them, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.240 and Clint's like, but listen, don't worry. I'm gonna be 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.760 home for Christmas. And Laura's like, what's the play? Which 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.800 again more about it. Clint is like, I'm gonna do 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.400 catch and release, which is a NAT's favorite. Laura not. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.719 It's when we meet Nataja Romanov in Marvels The Avengers. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.040 She is in the midst of a catch and release 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:30.080 with the Russian guys. Uh. So. Over to Eleanor's Jax 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.800 Risotto's apparently wonderful. I love to try it. Do you 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.720 ever Rosta? Do you have a Resolta recipe? 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.280 Zig No? But like I like his his his tip 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.199 if you have to agitate, It's like, maybe that's the key. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:41.599 I got to talk some shit to it, you know, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.360 embarrassing in front of its parents and then. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:49.079 Beat h Well, Kate listen is again. He loves to agitate, 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.240 he loves the troll. He is playing with Kate a lot, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.760 and and you know, knows that she knows something and 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.719 is playing with the idea that she knows but is 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.640 but is having fun with the fact that Eleanor is 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:06.000 blissfully unaware of everything. Kate is like, hey, Jack, you 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.360 know about swords, you know about uh repasts, you know 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.199 about I don't know all the lingo, but like Kate 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.720 clearly does because she's a two time state champion, as 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.719 she tells him. And all this ends up with the 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.000 two of them sparring. They get the fencing gear out, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.079 they start going at it, and Jack lets her win 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.520 numerous times again and again. Kate's like, you're letting me 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.360 stop it. I know you're good, stop it. And then 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.360 as he looks away, she goes to stab him, like 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:35.040 in the neck. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.319 He's like, old on, let me, let me, let me 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.880 turn on a little bit. That's like what you would play, 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.199 like play basketball with, like your uncle who was really 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:43.280 really good, And he's like, I let you get a 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.120 couple of shots, but like once you even try, like 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.040 actually come at me, I'm gonna go break your ankles 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.200 embarrassed a little, and that's. 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.559 Exactly what it was. He just goes ping Perry's it. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.400 Her blade goes like spinning across the floor, and then 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.000 he straight up is like, to be fair, I don't 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.280 play my skill and repeatedly died oft it. Eleanor does 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.160 not even register this. Jack just said, I've been lying 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:11.559 completely throughout the entire year. I've been lying. She's for 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:15.839 a little bit esus like furious at Katie, and I 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.560 just want to say one thing about this. So Eleanor 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.120 played by the wonderful Viraa Farmiga, who I love and 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.440 everything she's ever done. She lost her husband tragically during 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.280 the Chutari attack, which nobody ever expects. You're sitting at 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:33.079 home having a nice day, and you know, nobody ever 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.480 expects that, you know, to go to have tragedy occur 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.120 that way with an invasion of aliens led by a 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.520 Norse god, and clearly the family was in some sort 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.439 of economic streets at the time, you know, that decade 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.640 plus ago, and she's done an incredible job, not just 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.320 steadying the family finances, but like building on it, taking 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:01.240 care of her daughter. And she's clearly sacrificed her social life, 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.400 her personal life to do that, and now this man 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.480 comes into her life. He's debonair. Maybe she doesn't know 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.240 a lot about him, a little dangerous, you know, and 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.199 she's she wants to hold on to it, And so 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.199 I feel bad for Eleanor in that respect. Kate, you know, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.480 is trying to be like, he just admitted he lied, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.880 you know, well, what's happening, And again Eleanor is not 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.600 hearing it. Eleanor walks away, and Jack is like, can 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.200 I offer you a monogram butterscotch from the home of 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.240 armand Duqute, my recently murdered uncle. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.520 Yeah, shout out underneath his underneath his best you see, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.160 they like one of those spray paint you know, rest 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:39.920 and piece things you get my stocking market. 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.920 Later, the tracksuit Mafia captured Hawkeye, just as he intended. 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.560 They take him off in a van, in a moving van, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:54.120 trust to Brow, moving off to their warehouse. Meanwhile, Kate 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.480 is calling Clint. She's trying to talk to him because 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.720 she's like, listen, my mother's boyfriend is fucked up. You know, 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:05.040 this guy is shady as hell, Clint Hello, So she 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.960 can't get in touch with him. So what does she do. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:13.160 She commits what is probably a federal crime by packing 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:17.120 into his phone and you know, and a and a 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.480 private cellular network using Bishop Technical Securities n S a 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.640 spyware online portal that is apparently accessible to like any 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:26.720 employee like in the. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:29.960 Yeah, like her last names on the end of the 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.680 d of the building. Maybe she has a special. 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:39.640 Action and she tracks him to the warehouse. I Meanwhile, 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.120 the mafia is stay on hood, Clint. They're interrogating him. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.200 Clint is like, listen, I want to speak to your manager. Okay, uh, 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.480 you guys, don't call the shots. I know that you're 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.560 all dressed the same. That's the number one hint. I'd 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.080 like to speak to whoever your boss is so we 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.720 can clear all this up. They want to know where 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:05.520 Cape Bishop is. He's like, who, what? Who? And then 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.360 in a moment that is feels very of a piece 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.120 with the co with the vibe of the Hawkeye comics, 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.720 Kate Bishop comes crashing through the skylight in a in 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.520 a torrent of broken glass and lands on the ground. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.520 And in another room, Maya Lopez Echo gets the news 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.800 that the prisoners are in hand, and she begins to 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.960 plot her next move now onto episode three Echoes. Directed 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.280 by Burton Bertie, written by Katie Matthewson and Tanner Bean. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.960 This episode is fair, straight up. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.120 Straight up, straight up faction comic fun. That's exactly what 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:42.240 it is, straight up. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:49.400 Like top level Marvel television comics, television fun like it's 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:56.920 got everything and heartbreaking organ story, incredible like chemistry between 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.560 two heroes that kind of don't get along but also 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.880 are star like each other, and like unbelievable action throughout. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.879 So we open in two thousand and seven, a young 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.560 Maya Lopus is in class. She is deaf, and so 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:15.080 she is using her already acute but clearly developing powers 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.880 of observation to understand what's going on in class read 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.119 her teacher's lips. She's not perfect at it yet, but 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:26.520 her school work is just absolutely fallless, nonetheless like straight 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.800 as she's a brain. Later, we see Maya and her 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.640 father played by the wonderful so On mclaarlan, in her room. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:41.080 They are signing together. It's just really hard, beautiful, unbelievable stuff. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:46.080 She's asking her dad, you know, are about different animal 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.320 sounds and our dragons, which sounds of dragons make are 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.880 they real? Seemingly a nod to the recently released Shung. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.879 She Maya asks her dad, Hey, like I thought I was. 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:59.960 You were going to enroll me in the deaf school, 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.639 and he's like, no, I know it's hard. I'm sorry, 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.960 but this way is better because you're gonna have to 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.440 learn to jump between two worlds. She's out, you know, 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.080 just by watching, and we get another scene in a 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.520 martial arts class where it's clear that Maya's powers of 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:20.600 observation are just growing with every day. She easily beats 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.880 an opponent just by watching him and understanding his tendencies, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.840 and we fast forward years again we see an adult 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.720 Maya just fucking ironing out a spark cart. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:36.600 Yeah, just embarrassing everyone, yes, stomping him out. 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:44.639 She goes back to her father's autobody shop headquarters. It 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:50.360 is called fat Man Auto Repair. Hint, hint, and who 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.560 does she find but the Ronan. In the middle of 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.760 a killing spury, she sees the Ronan stab her father 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.119 through the gut. He is mortally wounded. He says he 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.720 signs to her fly away from here, little Dragon, and 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.520 then he dies. This is what this is what I 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.280 love about comics. For me, Yes, this is what I 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.520 love about comics and why I've always connected to it because, like, 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:19.160 at its core, superior comics are about giving meaning to tragedy. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:24.120 You know, people are born differently and that can cause 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.000 them a lot of pain. You know, maybe you're born 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:32.879 with some kind of impairment, maybe you're born feeling like 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.680 you don't look like everybody else. Tragedies happen to people. 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.240 You lose, people you know, loved ones get sick, et cetera. 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.679 And in the real world it's like that just happens. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.119 You just like have to process through it and be like, 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.119 you know, is the world unfair? I guess it is, 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:51.320 like that really sucks. In comics, all of that serves 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.440 to create a reason that someone has a past. 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.240 Yes, yeah, yeah, it's it's the myth man. It's like 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.960 the classic myth. Like you know, it's like if Maya 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.399 could have flipped the coin and it could land it 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.160 heads or tails. Head, she becomes a good person, tells 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.520 she becomes bad, and like this when it happened to 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.520 land on tails, and like you realize that her journey 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.280 is going to be becoming good maybe I mean, or 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.399 at least an anti hero and like that's like that's 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.280 the just at the classic power that you can comics 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.960 and they fucking perfectly nailed dot and nailed it. 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.040 I mean that's the stuff that just gets me, you know, 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.639 Like yeah, So we go to the present day. We 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.960 see Kate and Clint. They're on those little like corn 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.200 operated carnival horse rides and the track suits are just 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.440 like making fun of them. A wonderful moment in which 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.639 Enrique asks Kate how to deal with an issue about imagining. 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.480 Dragon soy, I built the imagine dragons stick. It's as 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.800 a gift, you know, as a gift. And then we 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.720 have a fight and my girlfriend say, I take there's 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:48.280 a gift for me. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.240 I take them and I go with the girlfriend. She 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.440 do this on purpose. And then Kate is like, Kate 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.159 says something I just love kids is something super simple 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.280 like why don't you apologize? And Enrique's like, I got 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:02.120 to go write this down. 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:07.840 Hold on, that's such like that seems like something ripped 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.200 straight from I know it's not a word for word, 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.959 but it's like such the vibe of the Faction comics 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.480 of like these are just like these are like the 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.639 quote unquote bad guys but they still have like a 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:18.439 little bit of like humanity to him, like a fun. 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.840 Twere absolutely is the vibe they've captured, the vibe of 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:24.760 that stuff, like really really well, this is again a 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.680 great episode. Maya comes down. She notices that Clint has 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.800 a hearing ag She signs to him and asks him 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.560 about it. Clint signs that listen, I'm hard of hearing. 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.840 I'm not deaf. Maya then fires off a full speed 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.800 flurry of asl that Clint is just like what a more? Please, 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:46.240 thank you, And with that, Clint's ASL quiver is officially empty. Kazi, 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:52.440 Maya's translator and right hand tracksuit mafia person, then asks Clint, 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.440 here's okay. She wants to know, like why you're here. 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.640 Maya suggests that Clint, you know you depend too much 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:00.560 on tech. You should actually get rid to that trump 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.800 in your other senses, relaying the advice her father gave 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.640 her once upon a time. In a different form, Clint 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:10.160 tells Maya that listen, Kate isn't Ronan. She got the suite, 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.240 she came across it and she put it on. She 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:15.679 doesn't know what it means. Just like, let's just let 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.920 her go. Okay, and Maya is like, well, I don't know. 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.240 I've heard that the Ronan is back. This is too 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:23.879 there's too many coins that is going on here, and 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.000 Clint says, listen, that's just a rumor. Ronan is dead. 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:32.160 I was there when he was killed by my best 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:35.960 friend Natasha romanof Rest in Peace. Now, we all saw 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:40.960 that scene in in Avengers Endgame, and we know that's 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:47.359 not exactly how it went. But that's okay. I'm glad 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:51.400 to see that. Clint Barton feels really bad about going 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:56.200 on in international murders free you know, extra judicial murders. 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.280 I'm not sure what the evidentiary rules that he set 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.720 up for himself war, but he was just out there, 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:05.320 just anybody in the building was getting cut. 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:09.080 Cliner getting got security guard got yeah. 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.040
