"Well, all your issues happened to you for YOUR OWN character development and not a dude's, you still have family members you speak to, and you are not actively fighting with your teammates, so you kind of won the superheroine lottery."
Pretty much.
Oh my gosh. Can this be a meme? This needs to be a meme. Everyone thinks the Batman of Marvel is Tony Stark, wrong, it is Kate Bishop. :D
Hell yes. And Tony Stark is a fucking warped mirror of Batman; no way is he the batman analogue in the Marvel-verse.
"your baggage" and not just "baggage," I wonder if what this is about is not whether Kate has emotional baggage of her own, but whether she's had to carry baggage for other people, literally and metaphorically. Which would make sense, because she then spends the rest of the Madripoor storyline showing Clint up by getting him out of a huge mess in ways that are physically and emotionally stressful to her.
I think it's a combination of both? Like, I think Clint thinks that Kate doesn't have baggage of her own -slash- has had to deal with other people's shit the way that Clint has (which is true as far as it goes, but doesn't tell the whole story) but I also think that there is this element to the story that's about the Hawkeye legacy, and passing down the name, and by the nature of that - that they both carry the name, that Kate was given it by Captain America when Clint was dead, means that Kate is, as she says, trading on Clint's name and part of his problems.
