#echo (2024)

[adragoncalledcat]

The climax of Marvel’s Echo is actually so important.

Maya’s journey throughout the season has been about reconnecting with her family and her culture (a culture that was forcefully stripped from her when she had to move and then her dad died).

And in a pivotal moment of confrontation, she rejects what she was taught and empathizes with Fisk. It’s the biggest fuck you to him because it shows that his teachings and his tactics of manipulation didn’t work.

In the end she gets to stay home with her family that cares about her, about who she really is, and he scurries back to New York.

So Echo is already notable for its connection to the Choctaw Nation, but something that really struck me is that this is probably the first time the Mississippian Mound Builders have been depicted in a mainstream non-documentary film/series.

I really hope this kicks off interest in that civilization and its cities such as Cahokia, Moundsville (which was probably the location in the show), Etowah, and Spiro. Not to mention other civilizations like the Hopewell and Adena.

FINALLY watched Echo.

I’m ridiculously happy to finally see an indigenous deaf woman finally take the lead role in media, especially in something as big as Marvel.

One thing that I saw in Maya that I felt like was really important is that she is such a badass. The few times I’ve seen deaf people in TV show or movies, they are presented as helpless. Or unable to communicate with anyone. Glad they killed that stereotype. My deaf friend often notices things in conversations that I don’t. Also I speak BSL! Never mentioned that on here before.

Alaqua Cox really stood out in Hawkeye, I was so shocked that it was her very first acting role, so I’m even more happy that the role was given to a great actress and someone to fun (watch her interviews, considering her actual personally Alaqua plays the cold mean badass really well).

I really hope Maya Lopez is confirmed to return or else I’m rioting.

Episode 1 and 2 can be a bit confusing? They assume you've seen Maya's story on the series Hawkeye, and I wish each show were written to be watched more independently, since I haven't seen that one yet. But by the end of ep 2 and ep 3 the various threads really come together beautifully. The themes about family, community, and Maya's personal journey in particular really hit. Gorgeous work there. I'm excited to finish the story tomorrow!
