ECHO (2024) 1.05: Maya dir. Sydney Freeland

[dantorrance-moved]

You have so much pain in you. So much rage, that you can't contain it.

ALAQUA COX as MAYA LOPEZ / ECHO in ECHO (2024)

Wilson Fisk is terrifying.

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)

As a 100% devoted evangelist of The Batman (2022) I was duty bound to give The Penguin a watch. Despite my low expectations for spin-offs generally even with the plus of Matt Reeves’ continued involvement in the series I’m happy to say that I enjoyed Episode One a lot. Felt genuinely like DC’s version of the Netflix Daredevil series only with a minuscule booster shot of added levity. No significant spoilers btw:

My absolute favorite moment of the show and how I knew that showrunner Lauren LeFranc & her fellow creatives truly were onto something is the encounter Oz has with Falcone Jr. in the pre-title scene. Beyond just being an excellent hook for the show, IMO it was also a fantastic display of what makes The Penguin specifically a villain who firmly belongs in Batman’s rogues gallery outside of simply his penguin/avian gimmick as well as cutting to the heart of why he isn’t to be categorized as just one more generic mobster in the gnarled web of Gotham’s crime families; something which Batman Caped Crusader & Batman Audio Adventures tapped into recently as well. The scene along with the glimpse of his home life & familial relationships we get later in the episode shows how when you get right down to it, The Penguin is at his best when he is portrayed as having more in common with the villains at Arkham Asylum than with the garden variety members of the criminal underworld. Just like with how Daredevil highlights why Fisk is a different kind of gangster, The Penguin’s first episode shows how standard gangsters who underestimate him & pigeonhole him as just another mob earner with no teeth only makes them vulnerable to the “real Oswald”. That’s also why the character who they set up as his season long foil/obstacle works in giving The Penguin an opponent worth fearing who isn’t The Batman.

I also shouldn’t fail to mention that Colin Farrell once again truly cooks & absolutely disappears into his role & is once again surrounded by a suite of terrific actors matching his earnestness & talent beat for beat.

Overall, I definitely recommend at least this first episode to any Batman fan especially if you loved The Batman (2022) & Matt Reeves’ vision for the character, world and franchise.

My only worry is that similar to Netflix’s Daredevil, the amount of episodes coupled with the length of each might bloat the series a bit and harm the pacing. Though with the DCEU’s different priorities in the Gunn Era compared to the MCU it might not end up as an issue & the show might end up being better paced & worth the episode count. Relatedly, my only gripe is just general annoyance at our collective return to weekly episode releases for shows instead of binging but I’m not an expert in TV marketing & production so maybe weekly releases are truly a better boost for audience numbers, retention & growth than bingeable releases have been.

Watching Daredevil (again) and thinking about how Fisk learned freaking Mandarin but couldn't be bothered to learn any sign language to talk to Maya. Surely, learning any amount of sign language would have taken less effort than having that weird tech invented.

Oh, I forgot, when you're that rich, spending money takes literally no effort. He tries to prove how much he loves her by throwing money at the language barrier, but that money means nothing to him.

[delusion-with-mel]

Im currently watching Marvel's Daredevil and honestly this is the most quality piece of media ive ever laid my eyes on and im only on episode 8

[iseathegalaxy]

echo is great, loved it

would it have benefitted from a longer run? yes, but the writers took what time was given to them and made the most out of it, the result? a great show

i can't wait to see more of maya as we head into future mcu phases

ECHO (2024) 1.05: Maya dir. Sydney Freeland

[thebadphilosopher]

While it had its low points in terms of storytelling, Echo was one of the best Marvel projects I had seen for a long time, TV show OR movie.

I'm torn because I want a second season to explore Maya's powers and her changed relationships but also it was so good as a miniseries.

Hopefully Maya will be in an upcoming movie first.
