Hawkeye, Episode 5: Finally, the head honcho shows up!
by Luca Fontana

One last "Hawkeye." One last time to analyze, speculate and predict for all it's worth. There were no surprises, but one gigantic action binge.

The Kingpin. He's behind the Tracksuit Mafia. He hired a Black Widow to hunt down the Ronin. And it's because of him that Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, has been scratching his head since the beginning. The Kingpin, after all, is none other than the head of criminal crime in New York, respected and feared at the same time - even by Hawkeye.
Add to that the fact that Kate Bishop's mother, Eleanor, is in cahoots with him. Apparently, she wants Hawkeye gone. It's unclear why. But what does that mean in terms of the murder of Armand Duquesne? Did she have him eliminated because he figured out Eleanor and Kingpin were in cahoots? Or is Armand's nephew Jack Duquesne playing a bigger role than first suspected?
Let the finale begin.
"Miss Bishop," says the portly balding man in the white suit. The purple silk trousers and his wooden walking stick with a noble head complete the look. Wilson Fisk, the man's name, needs only those two words to provide an uncomfortable silence in the room that grips the Tracksuit Mafia members-and Eleanor. Then she does talk. Possibly talking herself out of her mind.
I write about technology as if it were cinema, and about films as if they were real life. Between bits and blockbusters, I’m after stories that move people, not just generate clicks. And yes – sometimes I listen to film scores louder than I probably should.
