7. Dust in the wind (too soon?)

Avengers: Endgame started with Clint Barton at a picnic with his family. A serene moment.  While Clint’s wife and sons were preparing food and the table, Clint was showing his daughter how to use a bow and arrow. It was a heartwarming visual full of laughter and happiness.

In the second it took Clint to look away to retrieve an arrow, his life changed. His entire family was turned to dust. Clint was left alone and confused. This is how Avengers: Endgame started. With an extremely depressing moment.

From Hawkeye to Ronin

If there was any question about how this movie was going to proceed, well, this scene showed everyone what they were getting into. There was speculation as to why Clint became Ronin. The easy assumption was that Clint’s family was caught in the Thanos snap. Even knowing what was happening didn’t soften the blow. Seeing Clint loss and shaken after his family disappeared was heartbreaking. He retired from the life of being a superhero just to have his family taken from him in an instant.

It’s not shocking that Clint would leave his friendlier Hawkeye moniker behind for the deadlier Ronin. He lost everything that he cared about. What’s even worse is just as things start to look up, he loses his best friend Natasha.
