It’s impressive just how good Cox is here. She carries the show completely with her body language, facial expressions, and signing, and it genuinely feels special that Marvel is introducing a hero here who is a deaf Native American woman who uses a prosthetic leg played by a deaf Native American woman who uses a prosthetic leg.
What distinguishes this is how it opens a window into American Indian culture and heritage while telling a brisk, exciting mystery that steers Disney+ to a new horizon of not only more complicated and edgier storytelling but one told from an often overlooked perspective.
Although it is more engaging than its peers, “Echo” often feels like it's unraveling within itself, and before our eyes, sometimes becoming a mess of threads that continue to become tangled as the episodes go on. Still, it's quite easy to get sucked into this world, despite Maya being surrounded by unfamiliar characters. Something here has clicked.
More than anything, Echo still feels like the product of a broken MCU TV system (and in some ways, it feels a little bit like just another stepping stone to rope Daredevil and Kingpin into this universe), but the risks it does take and the connections Maya does make ultimately elevate this series.
Though inconsistently paced and lacking in character development, Echo is still an interesting look at a pretty remarkable hero, with some thrilling fights — and the more adult tone is a welcome new direction for the MCU.
Instead of fleshing out its setting, Echo just dithers, haphazardly introducing plot points and then seeming to forget them for long stretches of time. With as many as seven writers credited on some episodes, Echo feels both overworked and unfinished, as if pieces were hacked out and rearranged at random.
The opening of Echo resonates with Disney's attempt to adopt the Netflix series style. However, in the following episodes, it gradually loses its way, wandering aimlessly. In the end, the performance of Vincent D'Onofrio becomes a redeeming factor, only to add a glimmer of watchability.
"The trailer" Felt like bait and switch here. R Rated? No need la kalo hanya sekadar geli geli je we need more violence and bloody with a good writing . This series takde nk membuatkan kita like "wow" "what happen next?" I just watched the series with no reaction like "oh ok" nothing special. Kot la nak buat mcm Daredevil or Punisher ke kan but no..
Not bad per say but super boring and i honestly don't care about anything thats happening i feel like this show doesn't need to exist, it doesn't add anything to the mcu so whats the point
