(The thugs seem to recognize Ronin, which puts her in further jeopardy.) She saves the dog. Kate rushes outside, fights some of them, and sees Lucky in danger. It turns out that the thugs are looking for a watch from the Avengers Compound. And, for the most part, the action is cleanly staged and shot, even the times when it isn’t Steinfeld and is instead her stunt double are glaringly obvious Kate grabs the Ronin suit, putting it on. “We got 90 seconds to grab the watch,” one of them says. But the weird rich guy auction (and Kate potentially getting evicted from the party) is interrupted. The auction starts selling off stuff recovered from the Avengers Compound following the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” including Ronin’s (aka Hawkeye’s) suit and sword. (Yes, seriously.) But then things get more interesting. (“Things are about to get ugly,” she says.) The auction itself starts off as typical eccentric rich guy stuff, like a more mundane “Eyes Wide Shut” sex party – the first item is a fossilized dinosaur skull, which is something that Nicolas Cage once owned. Using her waiter-like camouflage, she sneaks into the kitchen and down into an underground wine cellar. Also somewhere in this sequence Lucky the Pizza Dog is introduced because my notes say PIZZA DOG!! Ronin Returns Photo: Marvel Studios And she notices that Eleanor is talking to Jack’s weirdo uncle. (Like Renslayer from “Loki,” she really knows how to rock a tie.) She finds out that Eleanor and Jack are getting married, which raises her suspicions further. Kate is wearing a suit, and everyone thinks she is a waiter. But we (and Kate) can’t quite figure it out yet.įrom one waiter to another – we follow Kate at the party/fundraiser/ritzy event. There is something off about him, something askew. Kate, meanwhile, is trying to figure out Jack’s deal. Eleanor tells Kate to get ready she’s coming too. Jack and Eleanor are getting ready for a fancy event. (Where else is she going to go?) Eleanor has got a new beau, Jack Duquesne (Tony Dalton), who has an odd fixation with swords. Kate is also back in New York, and drops by her mother’s house. Clint refuses, and it’s a joy seeing Renner slide back into the character, more wary and worn than he ever has before, but also more deeply committed to his family – to being a better husband and father. He leaves to clear his head, sees “Thanos was right” graffiti, and a dude asking for a selfie at the urinal. It’s clear that he hasn’t processed everything that has happened and is still in a lot of shock. It’s funny, for sure, but Barton is having violent flashbacks at the sight of Black Widow. Meanwhile, in New York City, Clint Barton is taking in a Broadway show – “Rogers: The Musical.” We’re back in the Battle of New York, only this time everybody is singing and dancing (the songs were written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman of “Mary Poppins Returns”). Then she decides to go for “the dangly thingy” It rings the bell … and then the bell comes crashing down, along with the rest of the tower. She shoots an arrow and it hits the bell. The tower is a considerable distance away. After nine episodes, WandaVision has wrapped up with a tremendous series finale. She wonders if it’s the bell itself or “the dangly thingy” that makes it chime. By Gavin Jasper Ma 0 Photo: Marvel Studios This article contains WandaVision spoilers. She’s out with the gals, pulling a prank with her trusty bow and arrow. (Honestly the five-year time jump at the beginning of “Avengers: Endgame” still has us confused.) Kate Bishop (now played by Hailee Steinfeld) is on the cusp of graduating college. We now jump forward to modern day … or present time … or something. Although the traditional Marvel parts of WandaVision have garnered the most talking points, it's the series' commitment in adhering to the sitcom eras that has elevated its quality - and that has meant tackling several decades throughout its season with each episode (the exception being episode 4 so far, since that didn't have a new sitcom).Why ‘Hawkeye’ Went All-in With Christmas Theme 12 Years Later (in MCU Time) Photo: Chuck Zlotnick/Marvel Studios The concept of telling a story about loss, and how a superhero confronts that trauma, in the backdrop of classic sitcoms is truly astounding.

It takes place only a few weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame - considering SWORD exists outside the barrier in the real world - but several months before Spider-Man: Far From Home, which is currently the furthest in the timeline the franchise has gone so far. While the interior of Westview's barrier changes sitcom eras, first beginning with the 1950s and most recently moving into the 2000s, WandaVision itself is roughly set in the present day of the MCU.
