Despite the danger, you can’t help but get the sense that Kate is enjoying herself.Īnd it’s Kate who has an idea about what to do next. Now she’s firing his putty arrows at speeding gangsters. She has modeled herself on him, in many ways. Kate has looked up to him since she was a child. Clint thinks Kate has no idea of the kind of sacrifices she’ll need to make, which he’s probably right about, but he also thinks he isn’t and has never been a role model, which he’s obviously wrong about. The conversation turns to being a hero, and the price one must pay to live that life. She’s thinking a purple number with little wings and the letter H on his head (an iconic and widely hated early getup of the character in the comics), and he’s thinking no such thing. The two archers continue to bond – after Clint’s hearing aid gets fixed – when Kate tries to design him a new suit to help with his branding. It’s not exactly an industry secret that Hailee Steinfeld is the next “big thing”, but she’s a delight here, her face communicating a thousand words as Clint assures his youngest son that he’ll be home for Christmas, even though he knows he might not be. When, the next morning, Clint’s son Nathaniel calls him, Kate writes him notes to help him navigate the conversation without giving too much away. When he starts echoing – get it? – Kate’s suggestions without realizing she has made them in the first place, she takes that as them bonding. It’s a wonderfully entertaining sequence.īut “Echoes” uses Hawkeye’s hearing for more than just jokes. There’s an arrow that releases purple goo which she calls “The Play-Doh arrow”, one that has a plunger on the end of it, an explosive arrow, an arrow that spits out multiple tentacular ropes, an acid arrow, a smoke arrow, an embiggening arrow that presumably contains Pym tech, and, mysteriously, a USB dongle arrow. The episode finds a perfect avenue for this miscommunication when Kate is forced to defend their speeding escape vehicle with Clint’s quiver of trick arrows, not knowing what each of them does, and not being able to ask for clarification. In a brief showdown with Maya, Clint’s hearing aid gets destroyed, meaning he can’t hear Kate.

To be fair, though, Clint fighting his way through an abandoned toy store and then racing his way through the streets of New York City is a well-shot set-piece that’s also full of the neat character touches and back-and-forth patter that Marvel is always so good at injecting into their action. Eventually, Clint has to escape, and “Echoes” devotes almost half an episode to his efforts. Maya, who speaks in ASL translated through her associate, Kazi, isn’t buying it. Of course, nobody at this point, including Kate, knows that Clint himself was Ronin, so he hopes his claims that Black Widow killed the vigilante in his presence will get them off the hook. Either way, Maya has never quite forgiven Ronin for butchering her family and friends, so she’s curious to find out what Clint and Kate know about him.
