One question - who was the guy in the red and black costume in the musical who Hawkeye said wasn't there?

Ant-Man

[Dual]

I want to see the whole musical now. It looked great!

[Qikz]

I found her bro might be one of the funniest lines I've heard in ages.

[Abacus]

Thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. Great casting, I like the more grounded setting and the tone is spot on. Good start!

Echo echo echo

Very good, really so like the chemistry between the leads as well.

[Tomous]

One thing that did occur to me during the bell tower scene, given how easily the Tower went down she probably did them a favour and saved them from a lawsuit next time someone rang the bell

[Hexx]

I really liked the first two episodes of Hawkeye. Hailee Steinfeld's inate charisma is making a character I should find irritating, weirdly likeable. What excellent casting that was.

Hawkeye Spec

Am I the only one who wonders if the Mom killed, or failed to save etc, the Dad? There was a REALLY long time they were both unaccounted for in the intro...

It's not just you. Doesn't help she's played by Norma Bates.

Did you also spot the clunky reference to head of organised crime in New York?

I think I missed that as I was drinking wine while watching but I did notice they brought up again that Stark had sold Avengers Tower.

Can't imagine who that buyer is going to be.

Yeah I'm being reserved in hope and after the Mephisto stuff, but it seemed a really clunky line

Speculation : D'Onofrio seemed to be heavily hinting on Twitter he was in the Hawkeye show. And Echo's in it and her whole backstory is tied up with Kingpin. I will be more surprised at this point if he doesn't make an appearance.

Setting up King Pin in the MCU as an actual important character would be great. Rumour has it he's going to be in Spiderman too leading the sinister 6.

[Hypes]

Watched Eternals last night. It was alright, think I liked it better than Shang-Chi

[Moggy]

Disney need to make a full musical.

[Rubix]

Hawkeye not really in the amazing category at the moment, I think we have been wowed too much by Loki. It’s good and shows promise though.

[Zerudaaaaa!]

There're lots of half-minute Spiderman trailers (adverts) recently put on Youtube, including a fair bit of new footage. I'm not invested in it enough to be bothered about spoilers, so have been lapping them up. Looking forward to it!

[Robbo-92]

Finally watched Black Widow, I really wasn’t expecting much to be honest and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it, not as good as the really good Marvel films but still a pretty good film, felt very CGI heavy towards the end so I’m not sure if that was a byproduct of COVID or not? Will try and watch Shang Chi tomorrow.

How is Eternals anyway? Obviously spoiler free if possible but is it worth going to the cinema to see? Or shall I just wait till it’s on Disney+ ? I’ve not seen anything about it really so not sure if that’s a good or bad thing……. I’ll definitely be going to see Spider-Man 3 at the cinema as I’m really looking forward to that one.

[Edd]

Got Spider-Man tickets booked for the 16th, the time we wanted on the 15th was already pretty much sold out. Am very hyped so can only be disappointed.

Eternals is alright. If anything it’s a bit too long, and it’s basically a Marvel version of DC’s Justice League. Three of the members is a copy of the JL counterparts. It’s a solid 7/10 film.

[Alvin Flummux]

I liked Eternals, it felt different and the inclusion of a deaf actress in a way that felt right for her character and the story was lovely. The design of the Celestials and their basically being Jewish Golems was awesome, too. Just a really good watch. I recommend.

Ending spoiler:

The white guy throwing himself into the sun rather than do the right thing was hilarious.
