Mr Fisk
Welcome back everyone this will be my full marvel hawkeye episode 6 finale video there's a whole
bunch of easter eggs i'll explain what's going on with the characters where they're going to show up
next because most of these big characters like the real big ones like kingpin will be coming back
also explain how this crosses over with the events of spider-man no way home if you're
brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos i'll be doing episode videos
for the book of boba fett that's starting next week too that'll be like our next big series
then i believe marvel's moon night episodes will be like the next marvel disney plus series early
next year and then the she-hulk episodes but i'll cover those in different videos when they drop
more trailers for them careful for spoilers from hawkeye episode 6 if you have not seen it yet and
careful for spoilers for spider-man no way home if you haven't seen the movie yet just because what
to talk about the crossover moments we'll just start at the beginning and work our way through
shot by shot talking about moments and easter eggs as we go along starting with the episode title
so this is christmas just a reference to that ticking clock like the deadline that hawkeye set
for himself the promise he made to his family i'll make it home by christmas which he did which was
the big theory like they wanted to have a happy ending so it was going to be more optimistic than
say like the loki ending where he completely fubar the multiverse with the help of sylvie
the actual crossover was spider-man no way home happens at the end of the movie when spider-man
is seen swinging in his brand new costume right through rockefeller center in the christmas tree
here in the ice rink where we saw them fight in the hawkeye finale but the idea is that they
destroy the tree during the hawkeye finale and it's closer to actual christmas day so i think
the idea is that spider-man is swinging here through rockefeller center a couple days before
or just a little while before the events of the hawkeye finale so like he isn't swinging through
while they're fighting but he's swinging around new york city while the events of the hawkeye
series is happening i know there's a lot of big questions about what happened with the way they
left the kingpin character what they did with him in the episode don't worry i'll talk about
that in depth in the future of his character in the mcu and we get to that part of the episode
but suffice to say he is not dead like that is not the last time you'll see kingpin in the mcu
getting kingpin and daredevil in the mcu in the same week how's that for a christmas present from
kevin feige but the actual episode starts with kingpin himself showing up to a meeting with
kate's mother and it's basically the meeting that yelena belova was telling kate bishop about and
sending her pictures and video from and during the scene they basically explained what their history
was confirming a lot of our theories that we've had since the first couple of episodes but one
of the big things they've done for the kingpin in the mcu reintroducing him from the daredevil
netflix series is they've given him a different version of the white suit that he wears in the
comics and they've given him the cane that he uses in the comics he didn't use that during
the daredevil netflix series he doesn't actually need it in the comics he just uses it as a weapon
but they confirmed that kate's father was in serious debt with the kingpin that when
he died during the avengers battle of new york during the events of the first avengers movie
his mother was left to repay the debt to kingpin and she basically used bishop security to do that
doing him favors just doing whatever he asked of her using all the technology that they used to
track people like they've already confirmed that she was basically behind the tracksuits in the hit
on the auction during episode 1 so they do stuff like that all over the city just things that you
would expect the mafia to do they don't completely explain everything that happened to him after the
events of daredevil season 3 daredevil beat him successfully got him arrested again and then
as far as we know he didn't get snapped because he was around during the five-year time jump when
hawkeye was ronin to actually call out the hit on ekko's father but they never really referenced
infinity war during daredevil season three so i think the idea is that like a lot of criminals and
other villains in the mcu who didn't get snapped they used the five-year time jump to grow their
power base le kingpin used the five-year time jump to retake control of new york city for the most
part they set of the whole eleanor versus kingpin arc during the episode it plays out pretty quickly
they confirmed the theory that she was actually the person behind armand's murder not that she
necessarily did it herself like she wasn't the one who actually stabbed him in the back literally but
she is the person responsible for it like kingpin told her to get it done and she used the tracksuit
bros that's what the whole sloan company was about that was just a shell company that she was using
to pay the tracksuit bros and make it seem legit i'm sure matt murdock daredevil would love to get
his hands on some of that evidence that eleanor bishop has but one of the things they're really
trying to do in this kingpin opening scene here is to clearly set him up as the main villain of the
series like you kind of thought the eleanor bishop was going to wind up being the main villain and
kingpin would kind of be like a side character no no no they want you to think kingpin is the real
main villain then hawkeye basically gives kate bishop everything that she's been wanting from him
for the past couple of episodes he calls her his partner then they spend most of the episode
teaming up like having their own little team hawkeye avengers assemble moments he also shows
her how to create trick arrows so i think the idea is that the next time we see kate bishop come back
maybe she'll show up during ant-man 3. she'll have a bunch of her own trick arrows that she's created
herself when they're doing the montage of them creating all the trick arrows though there's a
bunch of big easter eggs here from the comics so the guardian pepper spray is just a subtle easter
egg for the guardian marvel character he's from the x-men comics but he was part of alpha flight
with wolverine and even though they're creating a bunch of new trick arrows here they're also fixing
up and repairing a lot of the old trick arrows too that you've seen before so there's about 20
different trick arrows here about half of them are ones that he had before and half of them are
brand new ones like he whips out the pymtech arrow again that he'd used before but this time they use
it for shrinking the tracksuit bros instead of making something bigger they set up a couple of
jokes they pay off later like the arrow that's too dangerous and then when she grabs the label maker
and actually labels it too dangerous and starts labeling the other arrows that's a callback to the
earlier episode during the car chase when she was grabbing all the wrong arrows yelling at hawkeye
because none of them were labeled so she didn't know which one she was grabbing at any given time
some of the new ones that they confirm are the airbag arrow the freeze arrow the flash bomb
arrow the icebreaker arrow then there's a couple other ones from the comics we see hawkeye use like
the electro disrupter arrow and even though it is kind of a bummer to see kingpin snap most of the
trick arrows like a bunch of twigs they wind up paying off the trick arrow that's quote-unquote
too dangerous also by paying off the coin flip trick when kate bishop flips the coin then sets
off the chain reaction to take kingpin down using the too dangerous arrow they also remind you that
a lot of these trick arrows are based on stark tech as iron man joked during avengers age of
ultron he literally makes all their cool toys a lot of what hawkeye does creating his trick
arrows is improvisation like he has some of the old favorites like trick arrows that he always
uses in his quiver but then sometimes based on the situation he'll create something new like i said
though this is all just meant to be a tutorial for kate bishop because she's slowly becoming the
next version of hawkeye so she has to learn how to create her own trick arrows then they set up
the whole echo versus kingpin arc in the episode sort of paying off the idea with her learning the
truth about what happened with her father kingpin calling out the hit on her father confirming that
kingpin is the uncle character like we all knew it a couple episodes ago but this just confirms that
and even though she lies to him like she's kind of trying to feel him out asking for a
couple days off kingpin knows exactly what she's doing like oh we gotta get rid of her now too
but despite all the backstabbing it does seem like he genuinely cares about her it's just
that his business of controlling the city as the kingpin controlling the mafia is more important to
him than she is kate bishop finally tells hawkeye about the story of seeing him during the battle of
new york what it was like for her how it inspired her to become a hero i believe there was a trailer
scene from a while ago where hawkeye jokes that he actually broke a bunch of bones when he swung
in like yes it looked really cool because you were little kids seeing me do this but in actuality i
broke most of my bones doing that but her whole speech is about the idea that you don't need
superpowers to be a hero even though you just have an arrow some string and a bow you're still a hero
to me there's some more cool training scenes with hawkeye trying to mentor kate bishop like okay
size up all the threats and assets at the party here and we learned that they have all the larpers
working on staff trying to help them case the party they have a couple funny moments with jack
he actually has a pretty funny arc during this episode and they confirm that he is like the himbo
of hawkeye he knew absolutely nothing about what was going on like he was oblivious to everything
that kate's mother was doing this whole time that he was in a relationship with her and they just
play it like he's enjoying himself like nobody's business like he's just happy to be here like oh
i finally get to use my sword skills let's have some fun and based on his ending in the episode
it seems like he's going to be joining the larpers group there's this level of theatricality to his
character it seems like he would fit in with them perfectly i loved everything about yelena belova's
arc during the episode and all of her scenes with kate bishop but all the scenes she had with kate
bishop were amazing we need way more of their characters teaming up together you also notice
that she enters the party wearing green and stark contrast to all the other people that are wearing
black and red just sort of foreshadowing her fight in front of the giant green christmas tree on the
ice with clint later in the episode and they have all those funny scenes with kate bishop like they
both try to jump into the elevator pressing all the buttons on the elevator to slow them down so
they have to stop at every floor it's an oldie but a goodie and that funny reveal of her new
costume like did you do that on purpose this is just a version of her comic book costume they do
the same thing for hawkeye later when he takes it off like oh yeah you wore your new costume hawkeye
is wearing a version of his costume from the matt fraction run which inspired the story of a lot of
the hawkeye series love the way that yelena yeets out the window and almost takes out hawkeye using
the same trademark black widow move the tether and the way that kate bishop has her own superhero
landing like she does her own superhero landing with the pose just like natasha did and then
just like yelena belova did during the black widow movie so kate bishop also a total poser just like
the others they pay off that joke with tomas from earlier in the series the tracksuit bro thanking
kate bishop for the relationship advice she gave him about the concert in most of the takedowns
that she has during this big final fight here like sliding around the ice just meant to show
how she's grown over the series and learn from hawkeye they set up the joke with the owl when
hawkeye gets thrown into the tree after they cut his zipline but i do have some questions about the
owl that carried off that tracksuit bros little miniaturized truck like is it going to eat them
like mice now did the pym particles wear off and the tracksuit pros in the truck get bigger later
they don't get to use all the trick arrows here but they do use some of the ones that they've used
before like kate bishop uses the acid arrow again to basically cut the tree down or burn through
the tree trunk we get hawkeye versus yelena belova round two after she tackles him on the ice but it
really isn't much of a fight like this is more of a conversation that they have where he basically
explains what happened to natasha but it was always going to have to end with a conversation
like this like okay this is what actually happened on vermeer she wanted to sacrifice herself
it felt a little weird that it was the bird call that actually turned her around on hawkeye like
wait a minute how did you know that they were just trying to say that yelena belova didn't understand
how close hawkeye was to natasha like they were like brother and sister but yelena belova didn't
really learn about hawkeye until later like she knew about the avengers so the idea is
that the bird call was something that natasha and yelena developed when they were children during
the black widow movie we saw that flashback and only they knew about like it was a secret between
the two of them and that's why she did it at her gravestone in the black widow post-credits scene
so when she heard clint use the secret call that was just a way to say oh no natasha would
have told him all of her deepest secrets so that means that they were super close she trusted him
she bails and runs off into the night obviously this isn't the last time we're going to see her
there's still all the stuff going on with valve that's unresolved with a thunderbolts team and
while they're resolving the hawkeye versus yelena belova fight we get echo versus kazi and this all
kind of feels a little bit rushed like they tried to imply there was some relationship between the
two of them a couple episodes ago but we haven't spent a ton of time with the echo character so you
can kind of tell how they're trying to set her up as an anti-hero on the series but it feels
like there just wasn't enough of her story also in the same way that they just kind of introduced
kingpin in the last two episodes like oh hey here's kingpin he's been doing a bunch of stuff
like wait a minute i have so many questions about this now even though they play this like
echo kills qazi the actor who plays kazi said that he would love to come back for the echo
spin-off series so because you don't actually see his body put in the ground like he's not buried or
anything like that they could always say that he survived but then they finally give us some actual
kingpin action scenes so when he rips the door off eleanor's car and seems like he's gonna yoink her
right out of it it's meant to be a callback to the daredevil netflix scene when he grabbed the
russian out of the car and beat him to death with the door you embarrass me in front of vanessa
they have a couple jokes about how hard it is to kill him when he soaks all the damage from kate's
arrows and just gets plowed through the department store window like this is an fao schwartz that
he gets plaid into if it wasn't clear from the daredevil netflix series in the comics kingpin
is huge like they kind of did him that way during spider-man into the spider verse like he has a
tiny little head on this massive body that's what he looks like in the comics in all this bulk that
you see here underneath his clothes that's not fat he's pure muscle it only looks like fat
which is one of the ways why he winds up beating so many people in one on one fights because they
underestimate his physical abilities like he throws kate bishop around that fao schwartz like
she's a toy and then snaps her trick arrows like they're a bunch of twigs but she is able to slow
him down a little bit with the coin flip trick and the arrow that's too dangerous just paying
off those setups from earlier in the episode then i was a little disappointed with the way they
resolved kate bishop in her mother's arc when she winds up getting arrested like they're arresting
her for armond's murder she's going to be chilling out in prison for a little while just like kingpin
got sent to prison during daredevil season 2. maybe if they do hawkeye season 2 they'll bring
her mother's character back like i said i was a little disappointed that there wasn't a little
bit more going on with her mother's character like i was hoping for some secret identity or
just something a little bit cooler going on in her past so it just felt a little weak the way
they ended her mother's arc in the episode then the way they end ekko vs kingpin this scene here
is a reference to their ending in the comics in the way she blinded him after learning the
truth about him killing her father obviously they traded the daredevil character in this equation
for the hawkeye ronin character but if there's any question even though you hear the gunshot kingpin
is still alive the other part of the comic book reference here is when kingpin tells her sometimes
family doesn't see eye to eye well in the comics when she shoots him when he appears next in the
daredevil comics he's blinded from the attack so they're just trying to foreshadow that kingpin
will be coming back wounded during the echo disney plus spin-off series we probably won't see
episodes for that till at least 2023 but the idea is that when they come back for that like kingpin
will be a much bigger character he'll be unlike all the episodes and charlie cox's matt murdock
and daredevil character will be back for that as well for the echo episodes then hawkeye brings
kate bishop and pizza dog back to his farm to have christmas with the family they finally confirmed
my mockingbird theory with his wife in the watch so the watch belonged to hawkeye's wife laura but
on the back there's a shield logo and the number 19 that's a reference to agent 19 in the comics
aka mockingbird now they don't say it out loud but the idea is that mockingbird's name is actually
barbara morse or bobby morse she was married to hawkeye for a long time in the comics but in the
mcu we've only heard them call linda cartellini's character laura so i think the idea is that her
middle name is laura and she just goes by that as a way to keep her identity as mockingbird secret
like her real full name is probably bobby laura morse barton i know a lot of you are asking
what does this mean about the mockingbird from agents of shield played by adrian paliki i think
we can safely say based on this all that stuff from agents of shield was happening in another
universe it's just the easiest way to explain that just the easiest way to avoid any confusion with
mcu continuity like adrian paliki is a variant of hawkeye's wife they burn hawkeye's ronin costume
which is actually something they probably should have done before they left new york like i have
some questions about this why would hawkeye travel with it when another villain could just attack him
and take it it just seems like an unnecessary risk keeping it longer than he needed to
when kate bishop starts jokingly suggesting bad code names for herself lady hawk hawk eve hawkshot
lady arrow all those joke names or references to the funny names people called her and she tried to
call herself in the comics she's been called hawkett hawkingbird kate hawk lady bro lady
hawkeye lady hawkman hawkiss tasmistress as a play on taskmaster and weapon woman but the way they
played in the episode it's just set up for hawkeye to have that scene at the end where he says you
know i have an idea and even though they cut to black is obviously him saying why don't you just
call yourself hawkeye because in the comics kate bishop also calls herself hawkeye like they both
exist at the same time there's like two different characters that call themselves hawkeye during the
end credits they did have a special new christmas card from marvel just saying happy holidays from
marvel studios in the actual post credits scene no joke is legit just the full version
of the musical song save this city i was actually pretty surprised by this like i kept watching
waiting for some kind of reveal like some of the other avengers characters sitting in
the audience just kind of rolling their eyes and laughing at the musical like can you believe this
so yeah i was a little disappointed at the post credit scene i was hoping for something more on
par with the loki series where they're just like teasing more plot like what's happening next with
these characters but the only other really big question that i feel like they didn't answer
that they kind of should had was what did kingpin want with mockingbird's shield watch like did it
have some secret information on it or was it just a way to track down hawkeye's family as a
way to retaliate against hawkeye ronan because of what he did during the five year time jump
and now we have so many questions about what hawkeye's wife did during her time as mockingbird
when she was an active shield agent like where are all those adventures like are there gonna
be flashbacks to that will she show up in some other marvel disney plus series where they'll
tell that story but it was an awesome week this week getting both daredevil and kingpin
back within a couple days of each other i'll probably do some more daredevil and kingpin
videos this week i'm waiting a couple days to do more spoilery videos on spider-man no way home
but if you spotted any other big easter eggs in the episode that i didn't talk about during the
video or you have any other big questions about what happened during the series just write it
below in the comments next week the mandalorian book of boba fett star wars episodes are going
to be starting i'll be doing videos for all the episodes just like i did for the mandalorian it's
kind of like the mandalorian season 2.5 with a bunch of mandalorian characters crossing over
there's a lot of really cool stuff coming up though we'll get some trailers for the other
marvel disney plus series pretty soon too while you wait for that everyone click here for that
doctor strange 2 trailer video and click here for my spider-man no way home post credits scene video
thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe and i'll see you guys in the next one!
