Giving him the diamond then not using it was weird.

I assume it would have been a much more expensive effect though.

I thought he did use it, his arm turned all diamondy after he got the spiel about it being omg so rare. It was like giving a drug addict some super-pure heroin or something as a reward for job well done.

I meant using it for his next job or something. Certainly works better than turning into bronze.

Especially if he didn't actually intend to get captured, since they said that was just a lucky coincidence.


I guess he just wanted to get diamond high without the pressure of beating up the General.

It works out pretty well for Emma Frost.

Fury kind of just does that stuff.

The episode was pretty alright for me outside of what's his face stealing the sniper rifle, running it all the way downstairs from perch Triplett had ready, through a crowd of people spooking them and blowing his cover, just so he could try to shoot Kreel from 20 feet away. That almost completely ruined the episode for me.

Maybe he's a bad shot.

Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comic, but they're not involved in production or distribution of the movie.

Weren't the ratings for the season 1 premiere completely insane? They probably were well aware season 2 wouldn't have those kinds of ratings.

Yeah, being down on the original premiere isn't surprising.

The premiere went up from last season's finale, but then episode 2 was a new low for the series.

Its lose, as in, "you spell like a loser."


Being a sad sack who gets beat up all the time really isn't all that awesome. He's different, and I think people mistake that for awesome and/or interesting.

Yeah. The comic book is good, but it's not about how Hawkeye is good, or cool. It's about how he's a loser.

He's not even a good shot. He misses that jumping shot, the camera just cuts away to hide it.

They compared May to Widow in an earlier episode.

Hawkeye should be below both of them. Hawkeye sucks. Especially MCU Hawkeye.

That's one thing that comes up a lot actually. People who think that comic makes Hawkeye cool (not that I'm saying you two do.)

It's explicitly about how much Hawkeye sucks.

Hawkeye once improved himself by using Pym's tech, so he's still the bottom guy.

He doesn't need to because all kinds of crazy mythical sea monsters exist in DC canon including the Kraken.

Either he's in the movie or they're filming something from the movie set for the show, but in either case it should mean he's not going anywhere.

Didn't they also say in this episode that Skye's dad did not kill everyone in the village, instead it was Whitehall who is responsible? That he is not as big of a monster that Skye thinks he is? Also all this talk of him wanting to do make a first impression, makes me think that he is going to sacrifice himself to save Skye from Whitehall.

As far as I recall, the last the show said Skye 084ed and everyone died. When they introduced her father some people speculated it was actually him but I don't remember the show touching on that.
