Echo

As with Ms. Marvel, it's a shame this series didn't maintain the quality of the first episode, but sort of petered out over time. That doesn't mean it's bad, but that it could have been better. Like Ms. Marvel, Echo has an absolutely great heroine, played brilliantly by the likeable Alaqua Cox, and it makes a really honest effort to distinguish itself from the rest of the Marvel output (and not just with blood). Still, rather than being important to the development of the MCU, Echo is mostly important to the disabled and to the descendants of Native Americans. But that's not a drawback, on the contrary, I applaud the series for that! (2024.01.24)

An uninteresting visit to Oklahoma without any supporting idea, and it’s essentially pointless. Soulless. The inconsistency in the writing of the characters is almost frightening. For a while, Maya seems to want to liquidate Fisk's empire and no one wants to help her, then she doesn't want to liquidate the empire, but the same people tell her she has to. I still don't understand what the main character was up to, and her behavior towards her loved ones and the Kingpin lacks logic. Alaqua Cox's performance is odd, but I could only tell when she was angry and when she was confused. Vincent D'Onofrio plays his part, though the script doesn't make it easy for him. Charlie Cox doesn't have much to do and the action is alright. An incoherent mess, with no emotion and no point, and really weird dialogue. (2024.02.09)
