What's up with these plot holes, BRO?
-Parents magically disappear for a long while and apparently out of ears reach or worry once the Chitauri invasion begins when the building was still intact and shaking.
-Kate Bishop is good at Archery, Fencing, Karate (although she only says martial arts), and a Gymnast yet can kick ass against numerous thugs at once in street fighting? I laugh at that since most martial arts are just performative exercises and don't work well in real life unless it's MMA stuff. She even did flips on moving car hoods to save a dog in traffic. Bah, can't complain since she's in the comics and Hawkeye was a skilled marksman, archer, and former circus performer trained by criminals.
Update: Okay she's MMA so it makes more sense. She has been trained in self-defense since 5yo, and is skilled in boxing, jiu jitsu, and other forms of unarmed combat.
-Clint is well known so I find it hard to believe he can just walk around with family life and not get noticed or hounded by fan-atics or paparazzi even without branding (since fans would do the branding for him). He'd be like Johnny Depp or maybe Daniel Day-Lewis in a sense but on a grander scale. Even when he's doing covert stuff where he hides his face under a hood before putting on a firefighter jacket where his face is clearly shown.
-Armand Duquesne reminds me of Christoph Waltz when he says "Precisely" and "Believe me, I've done everything in my power..."
-What's with the dog? Macguffin? So out of place and in your face at the same time, especially for that Avengers 'Tony Stark' watch. (This was based off the very first episode btw)
-Tracksuit Mafia just a annoying comedy sidepiece? At the beginning they were masked then one of the guys (Kazi) takes off his balaclava in public showing his face. Later on they don't even bother wearing masks... Sup with dat bro? Bro? Talk to me bro.
-How does Kate know Armand the 3rd was killed by a sword? I don't recall it ever being mentioned how he died other than he died.
Overall I am still optimistic for future episodes. Even started off nice with a Christmas theme for this December. Just watching Clint own all those mostly virgin LARPers was an amusing moment.
It feels like the weakest addition into the Marvel Phase 4 since we're dealing with a hero with no powers (the other being Black Widow). Alternate to Arrow (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2193021/) I guess.
