I had issues with Kingpins rushed storyline. I think if Barton is afraid of someone we should have seen Kingpin do something that we the audience were afraid of. His relationship with Echo was interesting, but ends abruptly.
I think Yelana’s story needed a little more room to breathe. We understand she is upset, but we don’t know that she has the context of how Nat died and she is just lashing out. It feels like a revenge story, but really it’s a “just looking for someone to blame” story.
That being said I think Kate’s story worked really well. I think she had excellent chemistry with Clint and with Yelena. I liked the flip of the Swordsman being a good guy. It features an excellent musical.
Yeah it had the best stakes of anything marvel for a good chunk. Everything surrounding it was world ending stakes and I got such odd it feeling like the marvel world was on the brink of destruction every other week.
I didn’t like the gimmick arrows. The rest of the show seemed grounded and interesting, then came the whacky cartoon bubble-gum arrow, the firework arrow, the oil slick arrow. Felt like scoobydoo to me 🤷♂️
Curious to know what you didn’t like.

Overall pretty good.
Also - the stakes being “will he make it to Christmas with his familiy” rather than something world ending was a breath of fresh air.

True, the gimmick arrows were a bit… gimmick-y, I guess
Was Scooby-Doo ever a comic? I feel like it was mainly just an animation.
But I get your point.
yeah, I also remember Hawkeye quite fondly tbh
