Its my party
and I'll die if
I want to
I don't know why people are having issues with Val wanting Hawkeye dead. She is evil, works for evil people, and Clint is a good guy and also someone that might stop her evil plans, and she has the oppetunity to get who is probably the best spy/assassin on earth to do it for her.

I don't think we need to learn some deep motivation for that.

Did Hawkeye just ship Kate off back home without actually taking the Rolex off her? Cuz that's some major oversight

No I think that he knew exactly what he was doing there and shows how important it actually is to him that he removed it from the area.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
The whole show kind of makes me wonder who was in charge of cleaning up the avengers base wreckage.

I bet it was Rocket.

Pugh got blocked from posting pictures of this week's episode on Instagram after it came out. It's funny to think Feige's Machiavellian control over everything did this but it sounds like she got flagged by fans.

Have you ever read people objecting to spoilers? Specifically how much fear and loathing they direct at people who posted said spoilers? I have zero problem believing that would happen.

I learned a long time ago to not go on any website with user created content before watching a new episode of an MCU show because the algorithm will for sure spoil something.

I dunno about people having issues with Val and Hawkeye, but Yalena mad at Hawkeye for Natasha's death is pretty stupid.

Why? Yelena doesn't know anything about Clint except that he was in the Avengers with her, and maybe that he was also a SHIELD agent. From the arrow marks in the safehouse, she can assume that he fought Natasha before. If she thinks it was just a job to him, which is what she's used to thinking, then it's not a stretch that someone like Val could fabricate a story that makes it look like Clint was still an assassin and killed Natasha.

I'm pretty sure it's gonna get settled quickly anyway. Then we'll get Kate and Yelena as BFFs who go on to recruit the next generation of Avengers.

The big thing about the Black Widow was Natasha freeing everyone from brainwashing. For Yelena to blindly do what the next person tells her would undercut the advancements the movie made.

As others pointed out, she had a chance to just shoot him and didn't take it. Seems like she wants to get some information out of him first, like "hey, what the gently caress happened?" and "did you really kill her?"

If Yalena can't understand an operative going on a deadly mission and not making it back then maybe she is a giant moron.

Someone says that Black Widow died saving the world and fighting Thanos, so the world definitely doesn't seem to know the details.

Either that, or members of the general public are all being very poetic about her death.

You've explained the entire MCU pretty succinctly. They always undercut the advancements past movies made, usually in the first minute of the next one. E.g. Iron Man 3 and Age of Ultron, or Thor Ragnarok and Infinity War.

Clint and Natasha are established Avengers due to the events in New York. They are also established due to the events in Sokovia. People with knowledge know they are friends, but the general population knows they are teammates at least.

Half the world turns to dust. Avengers do *something* and that half comes back. This is also well established and known.

Now, Val says Hawkeye was with Nat when she died. Now, Yalena can assume all the worst about Clint just from Val but that would completely erase any growth she had from the movie and also make her a giant complete idiot.

Probably they will bring back "the shot I didn't take" with Yelena and Clint conclusion to wrap it up in a neat little MCU bowtie, then break for Christmas dinner.

As to Yelena not questioning poo poo, idk, that for sure undercuts her introduction in Black Widow. Or she has another motive all her own.

We also didn't see the start of the rooftop fight, only hearing it from Kate's POV. Clint even says he thinks the figure on the roof is Maya. Yel might not have initiated the fight at all.

My guess is we'll start next week with a different POV and get clarity on the subject.

They haven't said. It was supposed to be Ms. Marvel, but it's possible if Moon Knight or She-Hulk are done, they might put one of them out first. This way Ms. Marvel can be closer to when The Marvels comes out.

Moon Knight already has finished footage and a teaser they showed last month at the investors meeting; so it's a strong candidate to be next. If they go by order of announcement, then it will be Ms. Marvel or She-Hulk.
