He is probably old enough to have a great grandson though, and old enough to have had a child die very young, and rich enough to have that child be Armand the 4th and then his next son be Armand the 5th.

Thought the third episode was largely just OK. Only 3 left, so expecting them to cover a bit of ground after getting this Echo origin episode out of the way. Some speculation about the rest:
So in the end, this just feels like a vehicle for:
- Establishing Echo, starting her redemption to be continued or something in her own series (with Daredevil IMO)
- Establish Kingpin in the MCU ('the uncle'), another person to carryover into an Echo series
- Yelena shows up w/ that photo of Clint as Ronin to propel us into the final episode
- Echo and Clint fight and find common ground in the losses that haunt both of them and that's how the central conflict is resolved (will pay off all the sign language stuff too somehow from this episode I suspect)
- Yelena rivalry established for Bishop, to be continued in Young Avengers v Dark Avengers?
- Reducing Renner's Hawkeye appearances to just cameos going forward
Hmm. I wonder if they'd tie Kingpin and Thunderbolt Ross together, make them responsible for the Dark Avengers. Kingpin could be Julia Louis-Dreyfus' boss. What if Echo was to capture Ronin for this purpose, try and recruit him (and she's being used by Kingpin thinking she'll get her vengeance, etc.)
Anyways, bunch of random thoughts.

I really enjoyed episode 3, Hawkeye has always been one of those "why the fuck is he an Avenger" kinda guy for me, but seeing all those arrows and shit was fun and cool
The whole vibe of the show is fun, light, and Holiday focused and it just feels great, and the two leads are killing it together.
its not really a nitpick but goddamn did Tony Stark really fuck over his friends, poor Clint has no one else to get help or access to any resources? damn

This series is definitely doing Hawkeye major favors in building his usefulness. Still waiting for this to really get motoring but I think it will now that we are past all the setups. Chase scene was really fun and well done. The scene with Kate translating for Clint while he was on the phone with his son was really moving at the end when she realized her fuck up was affecting his whole family. Awesome acting in that scene.

Armond could be a healthy 90 . I had a coworker who died at 92, at 90 looked a lot younger, old but/ activehealthy, he marched in parades, was in 2 bands, did a lot of community stuff So the kid could be great great grandson, say armond is85- 90. Kid is ~7-10 father say 27-30, his dad 50 his dad 70, then armond at ~90. It works.
He could just had multiple sons called Armand who in turn had multiple sons called Armand.

I heard a rumor today that
but to be honest I've either been too busy working, too busy drinking, or too busy being tired to spend mental energy on it yet.
the Armand storyline is a Vampire centric theme, hence the very odd I'm Armand 3 and he's Armand 7 stuff, that is supposed to tie into the Blade stuff upcoming

I absolutely do not understand this considering Loki, but more power to you brother! I'm just glad to get fun content so regularly. We are very spoiled.

Yeah, I thought the initial shots from inside the car were really good and I enjoy the music for some reason. I guess it goes a long way to making the tone light. Everything I've seen critiquing the latest run of these comics were that they cucking Clint but I'm not getting that vibe at all from the show.

Always want so much from these shows, but they end up just being glancing blows at best. Feel like there's so much more they could cover, but we've only got 2 episodes left.
Some nice moments in this one, was enjoyable. I can flip a coin like that, just not with much accuracy. Friend claims I broke his finger with nickel once when I did that. Oops.

This is how you introduce a strong female character.
Kate Bishop isnt some overpowered Mary Sue that makes Clint Barton look like a befuddled school boy.
She is funny, clearly fangirling over Clint and they have great chemistry together.
It just works.

This was a good episode. It had good pacing with some good humor. I loved when she just stopped halfway over the street. Its the small things like that, that made me smile. It escalated pretty damn fast at the end. That made for an interesting character introduction. The show had my interest, now it has my attention.

yeah, love the pacing. Its slow and you just get to see characters live and breathe and go through small problems, and I love the small christmas reminders peppered in the whole thing.
I wonder whats up with the watch, I thought it was some Tony Stark DLC unlock shit but Clint says multiple times its to protect the identity of someone. I wonder who? Not really many secret identities left in the MCU, are there? The character reveal at the end was cool.
this made me LOL real hard, the subreddit /r/thanoswasright must be going nuts
rumor is next weeks episode is absolutely nuts

If they are going all in on Agents of Shield being non-canon to the MCU, his wife could be Mockingbird, is really the only thing I could think of. Other than it being an Iron Man suit, but that seems a little dangerous to have not and gone and recovered.
