Hawkeye 1x05: Ronin - Reaction 

Watch the uncut reaction on Patreon ► patreon.com/heroesreforged

Of all the people that was outside the MCU, Willem Dafoe and Vincent D'Onofrio was some of the actors I wanted to see the most make a return. Before the multiverse I didn't even consider willem would return, and now we got charlie back as Daredevil and Kingpin. It's all coming together perfectly.

"Clint's part in Natasha's death?" you mean when he tried to jump off the cliff multiple times to save her and Nat wouldn't let him? When Nat had to literally tie him to the stone to stop him from falling and stopping her from jumping? I may not 100% agree with Nat's ending in Endgame, but Clint did everything humanly possible to stop her from dying and sacrifice himself, it was Natasha who did not let him, bested him, and scarified herself. Where is this "Clint's fault Natasha is dead" thing come from?

Clint was the very first to offer himself up to get the Soul Stone, despite the fact that getting the stones would bring his family back and give him a chance to see them again. He stopped Natasha from throwing herself off the cliff *twice* before she saved him with her grapple and then sacrificed herself. Why exactly does he deserve to die at Yelena’s hands for something that he had no control over? It was always Natasha’s choice to die. If you’re saying Clint deserves to die because of spending years killing hundreds of people out of grief and rage, that’s a more legitimate argument, especially if there were many people like Maya’s father who Clint killed. People involved in organized crime, but not necessarily completely bad and too far gone.

I can’t believe how excited I am to watch other people watch what I just watched. Legit waiting for this reaction.

You guys obsession with wanting Clint to die “because of Natasha” is a bit weird. Did you watch Endgame? Doesn’t seem so, he fought tooth and nail with Nat to be the one giving up his life for the stone, in the end SHE got the upper hand. It was her decision, she wanted her friend to live and his family to come back. Maybe you should watch the movie again or something.

Clint has to make it out. Otherwise it invalidates Nat’s sacrifice.

Y’all really be acting like he wasn’t willing to jump off that cliff for the stone, like, he was the first one to even make a move for it

1. One more episode to go!!! 2. Y'all's laughter whenever Yelena spoke is proof that Florence Pugh has struck gold with this character. Such a personality.

When Yelena asked Kate, “how has everybody forgiven him for his past?”, I feel like she’s partly saying “can I be forgiven for mine?”

At 13:54, why does he think Yelena deserves to kill Clint when Natasha wanted to do whatever it takes to get everyone back and to get Clint back to his family. What happened on Vormir wasn't Clint's fault and their dislike for Clint doesn't make sense

I disagree about how Clint deserves to die for Natasha sacrificing herself, because he wanted to sacrifice himself as well..He was already prepared to atone for his murderous ways, but Natasha felt she had more to atone for, so that, Clint could live for his family.

Crazy how "Yelena" is pointing out all the red in "Clint's" ledger as "The Ronin" therefore he must die, but conveniently forgetting all the red in Natasha's ledger as "Loki" pointed out in the "Avengers" movie referring to "Natasha" as "Dreykov's daughter". "Clint" made the call to save her by not "judging someone on their worst mistakes"; will "Yelena" do the same for "Clint"? I absolutely love this series!

Why do you say this show gonna make you like clint barton like we dont already. What happened on vormir wasn't clints fault. Natasha just had the upper hand on killing herself. I don't understand why people are seeing him as the bad guy for that

Hold on.... what do you mean clint deserves to die for killing natasha?? You guys saw endgame... ive seen you talk about it... he tried to jump off the cliff... he DID jump off... he beat Nat to jump off and she jumped after him and attached him to the cliff... in what way is he culpable for her death? Yelena thinks he is responsible because she didnt see the movie Endgame... you all have... this makes no sense

I’d like to think Matt Murdock got blipped/snapped, and during those five years, Willy regained his power.

Clint didn't let her go Agustin. There was literally nothing else he could do. He was holding her wrist, Nat wasn't even holding back. She kicked off without Clint being able to do anything. Again, your blind and frankly confusing dislike for the character is showing lol. And I STILL can't understand why you think "he deserves" to die. Why? He did everything he could to save her. He WANTED to take the jump. To each their own I guess, but I'm just trying to understand this thought process.

Why should Clint die? He didn't do any wrong. Nat sacrificed herself for her friend and the world.

did we watch the same end game? clint and nat fought equally for the chance to save each other and the world. it’s not like he pushed her, she just beat him to the martyr moment, he tried to do the same thing, just failed. not understanding how you guys seem to share yelena’s incorrect and misinformed perspective?

Yelena's disappearance and reappearance from The Blip was filmed well done.

I think y'all are too hung up about wanting Clint to repent with his life when they've shown constantly that he didn't want Nat to die. At all. They literally showed the same scene from Endgame of her forcing her hand out of Clint's and how her death and his inability to save her still haunts him to this day. Him dying completely invalidates Nat's reason for wanting to sacrifice herself.

i think the whole killing of echo's pops was the last piece of the manipulation puzzle to weaponize her towards uncle fisk's ends... as stated in the episode, it is much easier to manipulate someone when they are filled with rage... take away her ties so she can only focus on her revenge

17:00 Everybody seems to confuse the Avengers Tower and the Avengers Compound. The Tower was sold and *emptied* during the events of Spider-Man Homecoming. The Avengers moved to Upstate New York newly built facility (i.e. Avengers Compound) after Age of Ultron (and first introduced in Civil War). Everything from the Tower was moved to the Compound after the sell of the former. The Ronin suit, sword, the watch and other items introduced during the underground auction were actual stollen from the Compound following its destruction at the hand of Thanos' ship in the 3rd act of Endgame. So, if Fisk went on to buy the Avengers Tower, he still wouldn't have his hand on any of their tech/weapons etc. The only one who got close to do so was the Vulture/Adrian Toomes with the plane heist in Homecoming.

I know people are expecting the Echo, Kazi, and her father’s storyline to be wrapped in this show but I think that’s going to be her show. Echo discovering what really happened to her dad.

Why tf would he deserve to die?!? Hector of all ppl saying that is so disappointing. Y’all are starting to just say dumb shit. Do y’all not remember Endgame or something?

If Clint dies it makes Natasha’s death meaningless.

The collective "OH SHIT!" moment we all had when Adam mentioned Kingpin potentially buying Avengers Tower 😂

Since when did Clint ever need forgiveness for Natasha's death? Do you 3 actually remember the movie? Or are you just on the Augustin hate train and are blinded to actual facts?

I’m never going to unhear Yelena sounding like Dexter from Dexter’s Lab 😂

Enough with the Hawkeye hate, he didn't kill Natasha, he attempted to be the sacrifice for the stone and she gave her life for it. Get over the bullshit hate, good god

King Pin runs the underworld... He probably was leaking the info to Ronin of where to find the criminals and operations, having Ronin secretly kill all of the King Pin's Competitors....

Yalena has to forgive him if she finds out the truth of what really happened. He didn't do anything wrong in that situation I mean the guy literally jumped off the cliff to kill himself lol Natasha was just better.

Yelna is my favorite MCU Character now and Florence Pugh is an absolute powerhouse. --- Additionally, wasn't Jack's line "I've never worked a day in my life" just such a perfect, poignant line highlighting just how completely f-ed up extreme wealth can be to a person? Amazing writing.

Wym "make things right", Hawkeye did nothing wrong, he doesn"t deserve to die or anything.

You all are straight up ignoring stuff that’s happened to justify your hatred for Clint, I usually love your reactions but they are waay too biased about this show (or well, Clint)

The ending reveal was expected but still amazing

Yelena cant judge clint about his past cause her sister had a bloody past also

This is going to end like Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Clint is going to finally make it home for the holiday and take Kate (and maybe Yelena) with him to celebrate with his family.

Why does he keep saying Clint killed her and should die wtf lol

I think this episode shows that Clint would be able to defeat her fairly quickly if he was actually going for straight up kill moves, there are like 3 times in the fight he could have ended it but he isnt there to kill her, he is trying to open her eyes about her boss. I did love how brutal the fight felt though. Echo is so cool, love her character.

i get the feeling sometimes that ppl didn't actually watch "endgame." clint did NOT kill natasha. she sacrificed herself to save the universe AND HER SISTER (which is probably knew was dusted). clint feels guilty cause he wanted to be the one but he did NOT actively kill natasha. constantly framing it that way disrespect the fact that she made a conscious choice and her reasons for making that choice.

Why do you guys keep saying that it was Clint’s fault that Black Widow died?

The one thing that gets me is Yelena's line "Why has everyone forgiven him for his past?" is something that could be asked of every Black Widow in existence, especially Natasha who doesn't have the "I was under control" excuse and any Black Widow who continued to do assassination work after being woken up. It's a line that just drips of hypocrisy and wrongness, especially when you consider that Natasha only had the life she did because Clint spared her and guided her into working for SHIELD.

Calm down Héctor, calm down.. 😂

Why does Clint have to apologize to Elaina for Natasha's choice?

I have loved these shows so much, they really feel like they've expanded the size of the MCU and just made everything feel...bigger. Seeing people outside of the big world ending events, seeing them crossover between shows and interact..I really really hope they continue this into the future, I think having these shows to supplement the MCU movies is a huge cinematic advantage for Marvel. Allows us to get to know new characters, get to know old ones better, and the movies can focus more on the action than on the introductions.

I find it weird how a couple of these guys are like "YEAH WHY DID WE FORGIVE CLINT" ... but they're totally okay with Nat and Yelena who murdered innocent people rather than criminals and murderers lol

The stuff about clint is absolute nonsense. He didnt kill Natasha at all, nor can it even be be taken that way if you actually watch what happened in the damn movie.

“she’s gone because she’s better than him” uhhhh i don’t even like clint and i love y’all videos but did you not watch the movie? lmao he literally was just as ready to sacrifice himself as she was

Have you forgiven Tony for his past as an arms manufacturer?

I beg yall to re watch the Vormir scene in Endgame. The fact that people who claim to be super fans think Clint is responsible at all for Natasha's death is insane. She literally did to Clint what Yelena did to Kate in the last episode. HE wanted to sacrifice himself to atone for his Ronin sins. HE got himself off the cliff first. NAT was the one who stopped. NAT was the one who wouldn't let Clint jump. NAT was the one who pushed herself off Clints grasp so she could save everyone and reunite Clint with his family. If he dies, her sacrifice was in vain. His repentance for Ronin is watching his kids grow up and being a good husband. Retiring. He does not need to die and yall have gotta let that go.

It was Wilson Fisk all along 🎶 Oh, and loved the reaction…right here: 14:56

8:00 Except, she doesn't know what really happened and you do and should know better. And Hawkeye clearly was not "hired" by Wilson Fisk, that would be a really strange direction to go in.

Episode 4 - appetizer with Yelena appearing Episode 5 - main course showing Fisk Episode 6 - dessert Full on Avenger battle with the Larpers. Calling it.

The more I watch Jack getting arrested the more I wonder if she really threw him under the bus or if those were fake agents putting on a show for Kate, conveniently waiting for her to make sure she gets to see it.

I’ll admit it’s a little puzzling to say that yelena needs to “forgive” Clint as opposed to just saying she needs to learn what really happened. Nat’s death isn’t Clint’s fault . Regardless having her kill him would be so disappointing (and negates nats sacrifice) so I hope everything gets cleared up between the two of them! Lot of closure to be had

Laura is Mockingbird and that watch is hers. She knows what Clint is going through...like personal;y. I think that's why she is so understanding. That phone call nailed it for me.

First Kang, now Fisk - MCU is on a roll! Loving Florence Pugh, got a great dynamic with Hailee Steinfeld! And Spidey NWH's getting good reviews as well, good week for the MCU! Given that he apparently knows who Yelena is, not a good look by Hawkeye to not go seek her out after Natasha died!

These TV shows are my new favorite way to get the MCU! We get so much more detail and depth of story, but still have some awesome action! Love it!

you're a mean one Mr Grinch in the episode where Fisk appears The episode before Christmas week, the episode before the Eleanor's company Christmas party ... Sir Fisk coming to Grinch the fuck out of Clint's Christmas

Now that Kingpin's back, Daredevil will soon be back most likely in No Way Home.

Loved your reaction. Btw; Jeremy Renner was promoting both Hawkeye & Mayor of Kingstown. Without revealing the end of Hawkeye, he said that he would stick around in the MCU............ If he can get quality time with his daughter offscreen and for Barton onscreen to have a leadership role. Referring to Hawkeye as leader of The West Coast Avengers in the comics. Maybe Renner would do something along the lines of that.

Augustin, really, chill. It's not funny anymore.

Hector, I'm figuring that part of the mystery here is that Kingpin has been training Maya since she was a child to become a weapon, essentially be his own personal Daredevil (Clint said it in this episode, they're both weapons). Killing her father, the only tether to any sense of empathy in the world fueled her with rage and turned her into a pitpull on the loose. Kazi is then her handler who is supposed to direct that rage to things that benefit the Tracksuits and ultimately Fisk? Something like that. How Eleanor owns a shell company that's laundering money for the Tracksuits and how Kingpin is involved is probably a bigger story that's going to be resolved next week. What I do know is that Eleanor and Jack are definitely in it together. Which is probably why Jack killed his uncle in the first episode. I might be wrong but I think Jack inherited all of Armand's money so Eleanor might have even been playing Jack this whole time just to consolidate more wealth and power.

Uhm... I try to understand the negativity toward Clint but still can't grasp why the three of you hate him so much... He just the same with Nat but you seems to forgive Natasha past but hate Clint for his past... Well, i guess everyone deserve their own opinion...

They're playing the G'DAMN Vormir theme when Clint was at the memorial! Those bastards!!😭😭

Thinking this morning about how we needed a smaller-scale cross-property villain for this phase to be like a Loki to Kang's Thanos level big bad, and how Kingpin would be PERFECT for that. Honestly the perfect way to let us enjoy teases of Kang & have the patience to wait for that payoff, is to have Kingpin just wrecking shop for everyone the whole time. UGH. It makes me legitimately angry how great the writing is for this new MCU, idk how we're gonna keep this hype train going for 10 years but I'm sure it's going to be a blast Also, I'm calling it now, I want Laura to be Mockingbird SO BADLY. Please Feige, give us this

“ laughs boisterously” subtitles add so much lol Yelena is a gem in this episode. Perfect balance of humor and I’ll kill everyone in this room energy

I've seen many peoples' reactions to the concept of perspective, and it is funny how much this show is focused on giving us perspectives we've never seen or experienced before. Perspective shapes characters, perspective shapes decisions, perspective may even explain Pym particles and the conquests of Kang, He Who Remains, The Conqueror. Por ejemplo, what if the Pym particle effects matter in the same way speed effects time. Going fast enough throughout space, in the same time I age 30 years on earth, I could potentially be going warp speed and age as if only 5 years--theory of relativity. Simuliarly, what if the Pym particle does very paradoxical effects on matter, based on a relativity or perspective, that allows the properties of matter such as size, weigh, and density change more as a relativity concept that was really only explored by the likes of Hank Pym and his associates. This concept goes into the wonders of a point I've thought about before, the same form of thinking that makes the concept of zero mysterious. The concept of perspective. What is it like to first see an unexpected, dragon like space ship fly overhead. The concept of perspective, what is it like to see a normal human fight along side heavily armored humans, meta humans, super humans, and humanoid aliens against an alien or maybe even supernatural invasion. The concept of perspective. What is it like to be a deaf person in a world that heavily relies on sound. The concept of perspective. What is it like to be an otherwise good family man, or a caring boyfriend, or a devoted daughter, etc., when your means of earning a living is illegal. The concept of perspective. If at the snap of fingers the good and the bad can be ashed into non existance for the "good" of the universe, without discussion as to discrimination or discernment, then surely it is just as meaningful or meaningless to cut down those who promote the evils in society by the hand of the Ronin (the man who used to be mastered by the rules of society and government made masterless when governments fell or at least failed to support him in protecting his family). The concept of perspective. What is it like to be snapped out of and back into what is known as reality. The concept of perspective. What is it like to not have felt the benefit of the Avengers as much as the loss of loved ones through there actions. The concept of a point. If a point has no shape, no mass, and no dimension, but a point has value allowing a line made of points to exist, allowing a plane of lines to exist, allowing a 3 dimensional object to exist, then that point and its value isn't quite nothingness. What's more, the value of that point can be broken down into subvalues of that point, perhaps inifinitely. But then the question exist if a point has no dimension but has value, how small is that point, and isn't that point only small or large based on perspective, and can that perspective change as much for a single subvalue as for multilple subvalues, and yet maintain certain characteristics, or maybe lose certain charactetistics, based on perspective.

5:24 "She sounds like Dexter" lol WTF I can't unhear that now. 🤣😂😁

Of all the reactions, y’alls are the one I’m waiting for.

I don't understand your hate for Clint, he has always been one of my favorites. He did want to die for the stone but Nat beat him to it, she wanted him to be with his family again. At least that's what I think.

Kingpin was just using ronin to tight up some ends from the track suit mafia for sure

That was awesome with the blip sequence. Florence Pugh is amazing as this character. Seeing him as Ronin again was cool. Getting Vincent D'Onofrio, Charlie Cox, and other actors all this week in MCU... glorious!

I really need to see the Endgame Cut you guys saw, where Clint says to Nat "you should go, I have a family" and she goes "you're right, i'm out". They both fought to be the one who sacrificed. They both saw more value in the other than in themselves. In the end Nat ended up "winning" the struggle, and Clint lives with that burden, trying to make the most of his life just to honor her sacrifice.

I'll never understand your hostility toward Hawkeye

Been waiting for this reaction all day!! Tom Holland did say in an interview he knows who bought Avengers tower, with that in mind it would make sense if it turned out to be Kingpin

Maya wanted Ronin and DAMN if Clint didn't give her what she wanted for Christmas

Also now we have our cosmic level villain in Kang and possibly our street level villain in Kingpin.

Hawkeye said he was there he never said he killed echos dad I believe he was set up to look like he did it

Why do i love you guys despite the unjustified Clint hate lololol you guys are awesome

I think that Clint apologized to Nat because she was the one that convinced him to come back to the Avengers and now he has to put the Ronin suit back on. It's a good thing I watched this during the day, because when Fisk was shown I literally yelled lol. D'onofrio's job playing Fisk is superb. He exudes such absolute power and is quite terrifying, really. Florence Pugh is an excellent actress and so naturally funny. I laughed my ass off when Jack's excuse for this being a frame job was that he's never worked a day in his life. Maybe it's the placement, but as soon as the episode ended and the Grinch song started to play, I changed the lyrics to "You're a mean one, Mr.Fisk" lmao. Another awesome reaction, fellas... keep em comin !

I can't unhear Dexter's Laboooratory anymore. it's now Yelana, thanks guys. Also, I think that Clint's Wife maybe was an undercover agent going after King Pin in the past, and she got caught; had to go into hiding. The watch is involved with her and that past. And, I think Jack is a skrull working for Fury, also undercover, trying to get the details.

i'm glad it was clint that killed her dad because it wouldve been a cop-out if someone else did it.

Alright, I could have gone without the Dexter’s Lab comparison. Can’t unhear it now

I feel like no one talks about how Kate HAD EXPERT PRECISION with that sriracha bottle. Yelena caught it directly in front of her face. I get that precision is her thing and that bottle is huge but damn was that a good throw.

Regarding Clint's time as Ronin, we still don't have the full details on what led him to pick up the sword. 100% I agree that something about him traveling the world to knock off mobsters with as much brutality as possible feels weird and totally from left field, but maybe it's akin to when Xu Wenwu lost his wife. Clint's family meant everything to him, and finding out that they (as far as he knew) were gone forever broke him and he decided to take that out on the only villains he could.

There's no doubt in my mind Fisk is plotting big time for Armor Wars with Val, Sharon Carter, he may even be going international by gaining the 10 Rings trust... :) Rhodey better get some help bro

#Spoilers. What Clint was saying to Maya was that Fisk told someone to tip off Clint, not pay him. Fisk used Ronin to do the dirty work

16:38 Hahaha the realization its like they saw the real meaning of the universe.

Loved the reaction guys. It's great to see Agustin starting to turn the corner on his feelings for Clint. So I understand where Hector is coming from in wishing that Ben Urich played by Vondie Curtis-Hall should remain dead so that there aren't any conflicts with the Daredevil shows story, but I gotta disagree. If only for the fact that Vondie Curtis-Hall did an amazing job, but also because we don't have to just pick and choose the things we liked from Daredevil. THE MULTIVERSE IS REAL BABY! The revelation that the Kingpin of the MCU is being played by Vincent D'Onofrio could very well mean that the Netflix Daredevil show's history has merged with the MCU, but it could just as easily be just another variant reality. It doesn't diminish the value of that story, and it doesn't muddy it by trying to explain why the hordes of MCU characters weren't tripping all over the Nelson and Murdock doorstep throughout the three seasons. The familiarity with the Netflix shows lays the origin stories and groundwork for Marvel, all they have to do is a brief refresher some great character moments and Ben's your uncle we'll be there! Can't WAIT for next week!!!!

Was waiting for this all day. PRAISE THE REFORGIFICATION!

How does everyone forgive him? No one really knows he was Ronin... Nat also killed many people. Arguably more innocents than Clint ever would (he was killing criminals) She was raised to be an assassin by THE RED ROOM who is an evil group lol before she turned to SHIELD (Hydra infiltration was not known yet so general public knew Shield as a more positive group) - and even in that process to switch sides she USED A KID (although her dad was the evil head of the Red Room) to get to him and she bombed the shit out of that building and saw the daughter as collateral damage although she clearly felt some regret in that as she grew as a character. There also been moments mentioned on how Nick Fury took a chance on Nat, so I see her and Clint's stories as mirrors to each other. Clint was sent to kill Nat but he also took a chance on her and chose not to, so although Clint had his time as Ronin, Nat wanted to give back that chance to her bestfriend as he did with her.

Dunno if you guys caught it but V. D'ONofrio was in the credits... I'm not an expert but aren't cameos by definition uncredited? So that says to me that he will have a speaking part. Also, I'm pretty sure the stuff that was being auctioned in the first episode came from Avengers compound, not the tower. And yes, Yelena was everything in this episode. I will be very disappointed if we don't get her as a main character in something upcoming.

I wanna point out something Yelena said “we are defined by what we do” if what Clint did makes him a bad person then so was Nat, Wanda, Yelena, many other MCU characters. Nat even said that she thinks herself as a monster in Avengers : AOU . Even Wanda tortured the whole Westview and she also did it because of grief just like Clint . Wanda took over the Westview because she lost Vision with whom she was in love for 2 years , so imagine how hard it would be on Clint who lost his whole family with just a snap whom he loved his whole life . And the reason Clint started killing criminals during blip is that he thought If good people didn't got a chance to live then why should they get. If their mistakes is what defines them then Nat isn’t a hero. None of them are then. But they are cause their good deeds weighted out their mistakes.

Hector “ can you imagine being in a fight that involves kicking” LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Why wouldn’t that be Clint in the ronin outfit lmaoooooo he was at the locker he put it in. Keep up.

Yelena talking about Clint's past and all the murder.... Yelena also done the same with Natasha - even mentioned that she was a trained killer. "All that time that I spent posing, I was trying to actually do something good to make up for all the pain and suffering that we caused. Trying to be more than just a trained killer. Well, then you were fooling yourself because pain and suffering is every day and we are both still a trained killer. Except I’m not the one that’s on the cover of a magazine. I’m not the killer that little girls call their hero."

Ooh. Hector's idea about the Black Widow PCS… fuck, I love that.

For the record, Reindeer (aka caribou) is actually really delicious. In Alaska, we make burgers and sausage out of them. Moose is the tough arctic meat.
