IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE DEFENDERS ERA AND ITS FUCKING AMAZING! IT’S ALSO AS GRAPHIC AS THE NETFLIX ONES SO FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THAT YOU’LL LOVE ECHO
also pls support bipoc female lead shows! Especially indigenous ones!!
do you support women's wrongs? do you want to watch a woman beat the shit out of people in hand-to-hand combat and have their blood on her fists? do you like women who are fueled by the promise of vengence? women who will not hesitate to shoot someone in the head? women who are followed by death and destruction? have regret? anger? gray morals?
if so: PLEASE watch Echo (Marvel)! it's TV-MA and created by Marion Dayre (she worked on Better Call Saul). it's on Disney+ and Hulu! i know disney has been sucking right now and marvel is being insane but please. if anything. echo
A warning: If you’re watching it just for Daredevil you’re going to be incredibly disappointed. A feeling you will deserve seeing as this is Maya’s story. She’s amazing. Daredevil is getting 18 episodes. Watch Echo for Maya. It’s worth it.
genuinely cannot express how funny daredevil is. matt defends people for high level felonies and then goes out and commits those same felonies and gets mad at frank for committing a different set of felonies. he goes to church and is like “father i committed a felony. i���m sorry :( i am gonna do it again tho :/” and the priest SHOULD be like “what the fuck. you know that’s a crime right. and your voice isn’t unrecognizable. it’s the middle of the day and this is a small church. matt get back here. matt. matt.” except that doesn’t happen and the priest just asks if he wants coffee. it’s hilarious.
obviously he is, he's a villain, but I never felt scared for someone interacting with Fisk like I was while watching Maya interact with him in Echo.
He says he loves her, he says they only can trust each other. That nobody loves her like he does.
But then he doesn't learn ASL to speak to her, instead he spends so much money getting a translator who he ends up killing. And then in super high tech technology as an eye contact so Maya can understand him.
He does small things to show his "love" but I see them as calculated and honestly, not genuine at all, because he knows what he has to do to get her to believe that he truly cares and loves her. but he breaks that illusion by not doing the simplest, most obvious act of love, learning to speak to Maya. Learning ASL.
Her whole family knows ASL. and can speak ASL even after 20 years of not seeing her, even if some of their skills are rusty, they still do. and it speaks volumes.
Then when she goes back home, to her town and family, he still dares to want her back, like "come with me, these people aren't important, they'll never understand you like I do."
BITCH THEY'RE HER FAMILY THAT YOU REMOVED HER FROM WHEN SHE WAS IN PAIN AND IN PIECES YOU MANIPULATOR!!!!
So so angry at seeing a white man being entitled to someone's life choices (esp if they're of colour)
