Tbb fandom stop writing Echo as the trope character who loses all of their confidence once they become disabled challenge... please I beg
What makes Echo interesting to me, as a disabled person myself, is that he never, regardless of all the things that he loses as a result of all the things done to him, loses his sense of self worth or his signature confidence that made him so attractive as a character to begin with.
And I’m not saying a regression in confidence isn’t a valid storyline for disabled people to go through, both in real life and in fiction. But the trope, in itself, is overused and tired, and you can’t shoehorn a character like “I am worth more than 2000” ARC trooper Echo into self-conscious sad boy who is too insecure and shy now that he’s adapting to his own new reality. That is not, and will never, be like him.
