You know what really felt Daredevil-like about episode 3 of Hawkeye (aside from the obvious comparisons to the one-take car chase and “Uncle”)? The fight scene between Clint and Maya. It’s mainly because in Daredevil, the show never downplayed the strengths of their characters. For example, the first fight scene between Matt and Dex.
You have Matt Murdock dominating the fight when it’s close quarters. It’s not even a fair fight, Dex was getting washed. But as soon as the fight goes long range, Bullseye starts winning. And all of this makes sense because Matt is one of the greatest martial artists in Marvel while Bullseye’s main strength is accuracy.
In Hawkeye, Echo dominates the fight when it’s close quarters. Sure, Clint can hold his own, but he was clearly not winning when he was fighting Echo’s fight. But as soon as he got his bow and arrow, he won. So neither character’s abilities got downplayed and Echo still came off as a badass, even though she lost. That’s very much in line with how Daredevil approached the fight scenes and I love it.
