10 Scenes From ‘Hawkeye’ That Shocked Everyone

Marvel’s ‘Hawkeye’ (2021) brought a fresh, street-level vibe to the MCU, blending holiday cheer with gritty action. The series follows Clint Barton, the bow-wielding Avenger, as he teams up with Kate Bishop, a young archer with big dreams, to tackle a criminal conspiracy in New York City.

I was hooked by the chemistry between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, and the show’s mix of humor, heart, and surprises kept me on edge. Here are 10 scenes from ‘Hawkeye’ (2021) that shocked everyone, ranked from least to most jaw-dropping.

10. Kate’s Clocktower Mishap

Kate Bishop’s reckless streak shines early when she accidentally destroys her college’s clocktower on a dare. It’s a bold introduction to her character, showing her skill and impulsiveness.

This moment sets up Kate’s journey from privileged troublemaker to hero. The sheer scale of the destruction, paired with her unapologetic grin, had me chuckling and cringing at her audacity.

9. Clint’s Heartfelt Phone Call

Clint’s struggle with hearing loss takes center stage in a quiet scene where he talks to his son on the phone, straining to hear. It’s a raw, human moment for a battle-hardened Avenger.

The vulnerability of Clint, a hero who’s faced gods and aliens, hit hard. It grounded the show, showing his personal battles beyond the action, and made me root for him even more.

8. The Tracksuit Mafia Ambush

The Tracksuit Mafia storms in with their ‘bro’-heavy dialogue, chasing Kate after Ascended Fangirl after she dons the Ronin suit. The chaotic brawl is both funny and intense.

Their relentless pursuit and quirky slang caught me off guard, blending humor with real danger. It’s a perfect mix of the show’s lighthearted yet gritty tone, making the Mafia instantly memorable.

7. Kate’s Rooftop Battle

Kate, wearing the Ronin suit, faces a rooftop fight against the Tracksuit Mafia, only to be saved by Clint. The high-stakes action and her near-death escape were pulse-pounding.

I was impressed by Kate’s grit, but Clint’s last-second rescue stole the show. It cemented their partnership and had me cheering for their teamwork.

6. Yelena’s Mac and Cheese Chat

Yelena Belova’s casual dinner with Kate, complete with improvised banter about a single fork, turns tense when she reveals her mission to kill Clint. Florence Pugh’s charm made it unforgettable.

The scene flips from funny to chilling as Yelena’s true motives surface. I didn’t expect such a personal moment to carry so much emotional weight.

5. The Pym Arrow Surprise

During a wild car chase, Clint fires a Pym Particle arrow that grows massive, stopping the Tracksuit Mafia in their tracks. It’s a comic-inspired trick that came out of nowhere.

The sheer creativity of the oversized arrow was a thrill. It showed Clint’s resourcefulness and had me grinning at the MCU’s playful nod to its own tech.

4. Eleanor’s Dark Secret

Kate uncovers her mother Eleanor’s connection to Kingpin, caught on camera meeting the crime lord. The betrayal stings, shattering her family trust.

This twist floored me, turning a seemingly supportive mom into a scheming villain. It added a personal layer to Kate’s journey that I didn’t see coming.

3. Clint’s Ronin Confession

Clint opens up to Kate about his dark past as Ronin, revealing the guilt he carries for his vigilante killings. It’s a heavy moment that redefines his character.

I was stunned by how raw and emotional Clint got. The scene made me see him not just as an Avenger but as a man wrestling with his choices.

2. Kingpin’s Explosive Return

Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, steps out of the shadows in a tense meeting with Eleanor, his presence radiating menace. Vincent D’Onofrio’s return after years was a massive surprise.

The moment Fisk appeared, I gasped, remembering his chilling role in ‘Daredevil’ (2015-2018). His controlled rage and iconic white suit made this a standout shock.

1. Echo’s Vengeful Shot

In the finale, Maya Lopez, aka Echo, shoots Kingpin off-screen, avenging her father’s death. The ambiguity of his fate left me reeling.

This bold echo of a ‘Daredevil’ (2015-2018) comic moment was a gut-punch. I was left wondering about Kingpin’s survival, making it the show’s most unforgettable shock.
