ECHO SERIES REVIEW
Five months after the events of the Hawkeye series, Maya Lopez is being pursued by Wilson Fisk’s organization, leading her to return to her hometown in Oklahoma, where her ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace the meaning of family and community. Sure, that means kicking and punching dudes in the face, but that’s what it takes to become a Queenpin. And to be clear, this isn’t kid’s gloves Disney Plus MCU fare. There’s blood in this, and there are some brutal kills. Like, Netflix Punisher brutal. So, yeah, at the very least, it’s exciting to know that Disney is willing to let their shows go here. And while some people are bitching and whining about “Marvel fatigue”, Jordan, Sarah Jane, and T.C. are perfectly happy to keep watching anything the MCU wants to put out, including this five-part miniseries event that brings Alaqua Cox back as Maya Lopes AKA Echo and Vincent D’Onofrio as the Kingpin, Wilson Fisk.
