I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
It's not my fault that Marvel is so fabulously brilliant. Hawkeye and Kate try to figure out what's going on with the kids, while getting them to safety. They're particularly fond of and protective of Kate.
Still so fucking creepy.
That being said, I feel like we spend more time in Hawkeye's past, unraveling what wrong and how. I'm not sure how to explain this: I'm not sure it feels... off. Maybe because it ties so directly to the kids they saved, and they are creepy as fuck. Maybe because it hasn't happened yet, or it's felt like a more equal split between past and present. Maybe it's because it's showing the darker side of life at the circus now. Maybe... Maybe a lot of things.
It just feels a little wrong, a little weird, like things are off center. And it's actually perfect. Things are off center in Clint's adult life, as well. Really off. Horribly off. And I'm loving the ride even as it gets bumpier. Clint and Kate have a really complicated relationship that boils down to they care about each other, but each have their own insecurities that get in the way of that sometimes.
Those freaky kids who might be mind-controlling Kate don't help. I suspect they're tilting her, screwing with her, making them as kind to them as they're trying to be to her. Except they can't do anything that is really super freaky.
Ugh, kids. This comic is the latest in a long list of reasons I'll never have kids.
