AWESOME!

I really have to thank this episode for laying bare the contrived hypocrisy of the MCU haters. So many of them complained about the show starting with stock footage about her previous role, thinking we’d forget they were whining about The Marvels requiring you to already know a bunch of backstory to understand it just a few months ago (and of course neither complaint is true anyway). And then there’s the people who were outraged that a show named Echo is actually about Echo and not just a glorified Daredevil Season 4. I just want to say to them, you do realize you can just say the MCU isn’t your kind of thing and leave it at that without making yourself look stupid by straining for these excuses?

A solid opener. From that alone, I get the feeling you’ll very much enjoy this one, Jess. You talk about rewatching shows to prep. I’ll be honest and say I’m still behind on seeing Daredevil. The show that is, not the film. I have seen the film. It has been a while since seeing Hawkeye, though memory of that is strong, both from my own first-time viewing, and then sharing the wonderful journey with you; that’s second to WandaVision for being my favorite MCU show thus far. The recap was well done, especially how we have the old footage/plot points from Hawkeye weaved into the expanded backstory presented here. Loved seeing more of Zahn McClarnon as Maya’s dad. Lovely to see Graham Greene. I got a big kick out of your Kingpin impression. Always a pleasure to see Vincent. Surprising no one is Kingpin’s survival. A good set-up of Maya returning to her hometown and beginning her ambitions to become queenpin. I had the same reaction as you did with her self-surgery scene. I knew you’d be taken with Biscuits, and especially Billy Jack. Touched to see your reactions to Bonnie. Again, I’m behind on the series Daredevil, but I’m aware of the long-take fight sequences, thus when watching the one sequence here, I quickly gathered it was in the same style. Seeing your wonderful reaction confirms that thought. The fight sequence was great, very well done. A little distracting with the cgi blood, but I understand the practicality of that given the long-take nature of the fight sequences, thus, though I’m not the biggest fan of the cgi blood, I give it a pass for that reason. No worries about my ears as I was FULLY prepared for your excellent reaction to seeing Charlie Cox appear as Daredevil. He and Maya’s fight was most impressive. All in all, a solid opener that I’m glad you filmed before the storm, which I hope wasn’t too bad/won’t be too bad if you still have more to come. Thank you for the reaction, and stay safe, Jess.

I’ve yet to see The Marvels, but I am reminded of at work, people that either didn’t watch WandaVision or gave up after the first two episodes being completely lost in Multiverse of Madness, and they were confused as to when Wanda had kids. Like you said, neither complaint is true anyway. I was fine with the recap. As to this show not being Daredevil season four, one, just because Ahsoka was Rebels season five and The Book of Boba Fett shifted into being Mandalorian season two and a half, doesn’t guarantee Echo would be Daredevil season four. Second, people do realize we in fact ARE getting a Daredevil season four essentially, so what’s everyone complaining about? I confess that the MCU isn’t my favorite thing in the world, yet I still have fun with it for the most part. Some entries, I do quite love. Some entries are admittedly things I didn’t care for as much, such as the second Thor film is probably still my least favorite of the MCU films that I’ve seen thus far. Or Secret Invasion, though I overall enjoyed, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending. But even then, we take each thing as is. It feels like lots of people keep getting mad that the shows or films aren’t what they want them to be, and don’t assess things on their own merits. Sort of like how you said about the one critic bashing the third season of Fargo because it wasn’t what he wanted.
