I am guessing she wasn’t aware on how Natasha really died during the events of Endgame. And seeing how Clint took the identity of Ronin she could have thought him targeting her other than that I am not sure why she wanted Clint assassinated
As for the TVA I guess they saw potential in Deadpool for being a part of the sacred timeline. Plus I guess Paradox needed a way to distract Deadpool while he was destroying his world
I don’t think we have or will get a complete explanation to why he was targeted by Val. I do think it was more of a test for Yelena, since she seemed to let him live and Val has not sent anyone else after him, as far as we know.
This might be more Paradox’s decision than the TVA, since we learn later on that he gone rogue with his team. I may need to rewatch but I am trying to recall his conversation in the TVA, which lead to him bringing back another Logan.
It seemed it was an external hire. Done as a part of the Tracksuit/Eleanor/Kingpin conspiracy to remove Ronin. Given him in that suit was the image Val gave to Yelena. Val knew how to pull Yelena's strings to get it done given nobody knew how Nat actually died and Clint was the last to see her alive by his own words. And without that manipulation, Val knew Yelena wouldn't just kill one of her sister's friends.
As said above, probably was Paradox. Yes, partially it was a meta conversation on the fact that Deadpool was the only active franchise left. Though in universe, Paradox just needed him out of the way while pruning the rest of his universe. Especially since the TVA was already getting to other faces from that world like Laura. So to keep him out of the way, he fed him a BS story to feed Wade's ego and then just keep him there until the universe is pruned.
It was probably a test for Yelena to see if she was loyal to her as far as we know, plus it might have been a way to get Yelena to not to follow Nat's Path of life and just stay as one of her Weapons. It was never about Clint as far as we know, Val hasn't sent any of the other Thunderbolts nor any other Hitman she has on her squad after him or his Family/Kate.
Probably something about Paradox to get him out of that universe so that Paradox can nuke it, Now granted why would he wanted to keep Wade alive and nobody else is anyone else guess lol.
I’m not sure about the second question, but regarding the first, a lot of people seem to forget the scene where Eleanor Bishop makes a call and says to the voicemail “call me back, it’s urgent.” She was calling Valentina and asking her to get an assassin to kill Clint so that Clint would stop endangering Kate. So Valentina was acting per Eleanor’s request.
That actually makes sense it’s been a while since I watched Hawkeye but honestly that might’ve been Fisk she called are you sure it said Valentina?
Yeah, the calls were made to Fisk, but nonetheless, she did call Val on this at some point. It was the whole reason Yelena helped Clint and Kate track down that Kingpin was involved with her in the first place. It was the fact that Eleanor was the original one to hire for the job.
I forgot about Eleanor as well. But that also helps explain why Val has not sent anyone else after him.
Indeed. It was entirely local to that mission. Also why it didn't look suspicious to Yelena in Val doing this. Because she can distance things as just business.
Idk abt Deadpool, that is I don't have anything new to share. I agree with the above comments abt it being Paradox's decision.
Abt Hawkeye tho, I guess it was Kate Bishop's mother who hired Yelena to assassinate Hawkeye as he was putting Kate's life in danger according to her.. As far as I remember..
What do you think?
