swanpride December 2, 2021 Share December 2, 2021 Clint and Natasha were both the kind of agents you dropped off behind enemy lines and expect the job done. Meaning: Clint might be not as good of a spy as Natasha is, BUT he is also not the kind of agent you need to give instructions to in order to get the job done. Case to point: Clint planning multiple heists for Loki. Btw, the whole "allow yourself to get captured to get information" is a page right out of Natasha's handbook. Clint just look waaaaay less cool doing it... 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124358-s01e03-echoes/page/2/#findComment-7151077

In Ant-Man there were two different kinds of discs, one to grow and one to shrink. On the subject of "Why didn't Clint kill Wilson Fisk" beyond the idea that he didn't know who Fisk was, consider that as Ronin he went all over the world. In Endgame he first went to Mexico and when Nat caught up with him he was in Japan. Clint's likely process was to go someplace, spend a few days there killing criminals (the higher up the better) and then go someplace else. As for talking to the cops, Clint was committing multiple murders and he was fairly well known as an Avenger. He probably avoiding the police to stay off their radar. And more importantly to stay off the other Avengers' radar since they were making at least some effort to find him during those five years. Basically if Fisk is around there's plenty of reasons why Ronin wasn't able to get to him. And when some other crimelord shows up there will be reason why Ronin didn't kill that guy either. Figure there's plenty of crime but even with five years there's not plenty of time. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124358-s01e03-echoes/page/2/#findComment-7151484

johntfs December 6, 2021 Share December 6, 2021 Probably. I mean, my take on Clint as Ronin was that he wasn't "fighting crime" or even "punishing criminals." It was "My wife and children got Snapped into black ashes and these parasites are still getting to suck oxygen? Fuck that shit. They're gonna die." It's quite likely that Clint killed a lot of people who weren't technically criminals. A CEO raiding his employees' pension fund to buy a new yacht. Another executive closing a factory to boost his stock options. Clint's time as Ronin was a time of madness for him. He's ashamed of it.

White collar types get minimum sentences, a short stretch in a cushy federal place where they don't have to worry about getting stabbed for a carton of cigarettes. And sometimes they buy their way out of it, more or less. Not always, but sometimes. Here, though, I doubt that's the kind of people Ronin went after. Clint tells Kate that Ronin pissed off a bunch of very bad people, but he doesn't specify how bad they were or what they were involved with that made them so bad. Even fictional crime bosses (Michael Corleone, Tony Soprano, Wilson Fisk) have minions who do the dirty work so they can keep their hands clean, even if it's only so they can present a nice face to the public. They don't (usually) kill people themselves, they hire it done.
