Not only did they find someone to play her who is Native American and Deaf, this is Alaqua's first role, ever! And they also incorporated her prosthetic leg into the character, and made it a assist fighting tool, rather an hindrance.
Damn, I was already enjoying her in the Hawkeye show. Learning that just makes it better. With how much the leg was subtlety incorporated into her character I assumed that was a characteristic carried over from the comics.
Man, echo in my opinion is one of the best characters of the new Daredevil millennium. Replacing Electra and her impact was not easy, and although I don't think they succeeded, she is a very entertaining character to read.
I believe her actress can't speak so it would be interesting to see how they could adapt her relationship with Daredevil without her immediately finding out about his bonus senses
Echo and Daredevil having a romance in the MCU is entirely dependent on what they do with Matt Murdock. If they bring back the actor from the Netflix series, it's not happening. If they cast a new actor who is, or can believably pass for, the same age as Maya, than it would be a lot more likely. If they do bring back Charlie Cox, they would likely make him into the new father figure in Maya's life, rather than a love interest like in the comics.
@@Hey-Its-Dingo well, they brought back Vincent. And Charlie was confirmed to have appeared in the Hawkeye set, tho this isn't confirmation of anything, but with Vincent being there, it certainly raises the possibility.
@@Hey-Its-Dingo why age has to be so important I hate that ideology, I personally know people with tremendous age differences who are marry and happy, yes HAPPY , many marriages are not happy
Well, we can only hope her time on Disney + give her enough popularity for writer's to do more stuff with her than being part of a team or a supporting character in someone else's book. Not saying those are bad, just wanting more.
@@ricardchavez8494 Well granted the Phoenix thing is not applicable here since that is literally a brand new status quo for her only a couple months old. The actual issue is that she was rarely used in general before she got the Phoenix power, even being killed off at one point for years.
Like I said, the Avengers keep commenting on how they haven’t been using their girl Maya on any missions, which is bound to change with the upcoming arc where they fight against the masters of evil of the multiverse. The latest book also addresses the various arcs of the individual books that each avenger has been going through (Iron Man, Captain Marvel, I think Thor and Captain America too), so we know they’re going to start focusing on the legacy powers in these upcoming issues of the avengers
Not trying to be rude just informative. It's Deaf not hearing impaired, most of the Deaf Community hate the phrase so I thought I just let you know. I love the video by the way. Maya is such an underated character, and now the Deaf community is getting a major spotlight that comes with more awareness and accommodations. I find it sad however that it took Deaf Culture becoming "popular" for theatres and streaming services to consider putting closed captions in their Movies/Shows/Advertisements.
Great video! Quick correction though for anyone interested, Echo didn’t win the contest for the Phoenix force. She lost in the very first round to Namor, whom everyone thought killed her, but the Phoenix chose her, anyway. Part of Phoenix song: Echo so far has been her trying to understand why the Phoenix chose her despite her losing, which is a super-interesting story line. Still a great video and glad more ppl are talking abt echo, just figured worth bringing up since I don’t see anyone mentioning it
I wonder if they're building up to Matt showing up at the end of Hawkeye with him then showing up in She-Hulk at some point before getting his own Phase 5 movie.
Really enjoyed reading up and searching for comics on this character over the past few years and very thankful for this video you made as it has filled in many of the blanks.
Oh, thank everything she's in the MCU. Back in middle school, I read her first issue in the library and fell in love with her character and the potential she had. I truly believe that comic is one of the reasons I am so into comics. Since I was like 11 I didn't even know who exactly Daredevil was but I wanted more of Echo. Unfortunately, cause of various reasons I haven't read much past that but I will always be in support of more Echo.
Excuse you drake I haven’t even seen the show or even seen news about it I just wait till you upload something so I have something to watch while I smoke before I go to bed
Idk how Maya Lopez and Matt Murdocks relationship would work onscreen, since Alaqua Cox can't talk irl...Maya can lipread, but Matt wouldn't be able to see her signing. Unless it's a case where Matt is partially blind, and Maya can write to him, but that's really overcomplicating things. Maybe Matt will be able to communicate with her since he has boosted senses.
Hey there is a difference about being vocal and non vocal. She can talk… in AsL. She’s just not vocal when she signs. It’s kinda offensive to say us deaf people can’t talk. It’s being vocal…
Matt’s whole deal is having a radar sense. He can’t see visually, but he absolutely can see her signing. If the dude can pinpoint the exact position of a bad guy well enough to throw a billy club at them with pinpoint accuracy from across rooftops, determining what Maya is signing should be no problem.
@@JL0ndon Well that's true, but I think what the original commentator wanted to say is that Matt Murdock wouldn't normally be able to see ASL since he's blind. However knowing Marvel he can probably see her signs with his radar sense.
@@shinyagumon7015 i know what he was saying and i was saying talking and being vocal are considered two different things in the deaf community. Saying she can’t talk is kinda a dismissive thing, cuz she’s speaking with her hands. But I’d be really really interested to see how they’d have Matt read her signs or if it’d be like miracle worker Helen Keller feeling them lol
Thank you for raising this question but braille and text-to-speech are available technologies that are readily accessible for other ways to communicate so not an issue if they do form a relationship in the MCU. It only overcomplicates things when viewing solutions from an abled standpoint. this is why representation and disability visibility matters in media and in larger society as a whole.
Great video Drake! There’s nothing I love more than learning nearly everything about an interesting character that is announced for a new season or series. (I know that this is a bit out of left field, but could you maybe do a video about Legion/David Haller? I find Haller X-tremely (sorry for the pun lol) intriguing, and I think more people should know about him.)
I'm hoping they introduce her hand face paint at some point in the MCU. I know this isn't related to any current or upcoming MCU stuff (as of now), but it'd be cool if you covered the Great Lakes Avengers someday as I think they're an underrated group with Big Bertha being my favorite.
Good cause have you seen all those rants? This is why I hate modern rant reviews. They have custom thumbnails of a mocking portrayal of a character with a title that has words like Woke. This is just really proves we have devolved from society and need to just shut up
@King of the Bis IMO Jason Aaron's Avengers run is mediocre-at-best and it shows he does not get or understand any of the characters namely characters like Ghost Rider She-Hulk Moon Knight & Echo, What is even the point of Avengers BC besides retconning Thor's entire origin for no reason, what was the point of making Echo the new Phoenix host, What was even the point of Heroes Reborn, what was even a point of World War Red-She-Hulk
@King of the Bis When compared to previous runs of the Avengers Jason Aaron's run is just very mediocre with the enjoyable part being that She Hulk is back to her Sensational self, he also does not get Namor
@King of the Bis Jason Aaron's run on the X-Men wasn't even all that good to begin with I mean just take a look at his very mediocre Wolverine and the X-Men run
A completely other point I have: Why is Marvel recycling all its event names? First Secret War instead of War *s* then Civil War II and now Heroes Reborn. Why are they doing that?
I think Editorial thinks it’s cool and will draw in old readers. Like the X-men events right now, Inferno and Trial of Magneto are nothing like the original events but Editorial wanted those names to be used
Bait and switch, it's like how Miles Morales is "Spider-Man" when Peter is RIGHT THERE. The events make people question wth is going on and they check it out. Instead of hooking them with real good content it's like they're banking on rose-tinted glasses to not be broken.
The House of Ideas is trully filled with them but editorial and marketing make the worst decisions. Ekho is among them and my personal faborite is Jessica Drew of the 1610 universe, aka female clone of Peter. She is so intereting as a character to explore identity crisis, the transgender experience and many more based on her concept alone, but no. Completely sidelined by many other characters who are pastiches of each other with the only changes being their costumes
I too love 1610 Jessica Drew, her concept was incredible and I REALLY wish they'd bring her back. Sure, 1610 had been destroyed and two Jessica Drews may be confusing, but we got Miles Morales transported to the main Marvel universe just fine and their have been multiple versions of characters in the same universe before like in multiversal X-Men and Spider-Man stories, so I say go for it. Also, I think the Ultimate universe had some high highs but some low lows, and those lows stopped it from making some characters any different from their main counterparts, like Daredevil and everyone else killed in the HORRIBLE Ultimatum book.
@@MsMaydayGoingDown Yeah, Ultimate was at its best when it was just another imprint, remember when it was just a modern retelling of the Marvel U before it was part of the largel cosmic canon? I still think they could bring her back in some form as part of the main stories or the main Marvel U as she would fit in much better in the Spider-Man adjacent world than the actual Jessica Drew or Anya being that they are only in these books because spiders. They could be their own thing, as they should and rather editorial use characters that are related to Spider-Man than just anyone with a spider motiff. I mean, it took so long for Ben to be back and he for sure will be forgotten once Beyond is over. There seems to be no plan other than what may happen in the long run with the movies, that's pretty much it. The do need to clean house and make each spider character unique other than costumes. Miles desperately needs his own codename and for a writer to start using his unique powers in more creative ways. Gwen should have stayed in her own world because its getting too crowded in NYC.
@@giuseppepiuma1965 I still think that some characters from Ultimate Spider-Man did get as best an ending as they could. Ultimate Pete and MJ got to ride off into the sunset and I am happy it stays that way, sans their universe blowing to bits and being remade....twice
Gender swap clone has nothing to do with trans people and is borderline offensive for you to suggest that. We just want real stories about trans characters not excuses that we are included on some bullshit technicality that a cis person makes up. Always consult at least one trans person before deciding what’s good representation for us next time
I have a problem with Echo being the once and future Phoenix. It feels like Marvel decided that they would do the 90s strategy of bringing back a character, but now with huge superpowers. As we all know this *has never (and will never) work for a character to become popular again. They should have just let her rejoin the Avengers and put her more in the forefront this time. Also the Phoenix is something that Marvel needs to just leave alone. If you don't know all the continuity about the Phoenix, don't use it. Its not just Jean Grey, something, something. I could explain it for hours.
I legit ignore anything phoenix related since it is nomally bad it was bad when it was Jean. Now they pass it to anybody even non psychics and some how she's Thor's mother. It's like whomever has this hardon for this psychic concept needs to stop because it's not working.
Is Heroes Reborn really not well liked? I actually really enjoyed it. Plus all the one shots it had too. Granted I hadn't read Aaron's Avengers run minus Age of Khonshu so maybe I have a different experience going into it
Hey! Thanks for being an actual bro and warning that the thing renews automatically. Cause fuck companies that just kinda quietly wait for you to forget.
I wanted to run some things by you from this video. You used the term “hearing impaired” and many deaf and hard of hearing people don’t use that phrase and see it as hurtful and inaccurate, similar to how blind and people with low vision don’t like being referred as “visually impaired”. Additionally, please consider having manual captions on your content so it’s more accessible to people to enjoy your videos accurately. Love your videos and insight on all things comics, hope you have a good day whenever you see this. much love 💙🤟
Echo becoming the Phoenix makes about as much sense as Howard the Duck becoming the Hulk. She has a pretty interesting power set: why not explore that instead of making her another bootleg Jean Grey?
I wouldn't call her a bootleg Jean since she isn't a telepath or a motherly figure like Jean. Since the whole point of Jean's original Phoenix story was about a kind innocent person being corrupted and twisted by great power and choosing to die as herself than live as who she was becoming. The Phoenix hasn't been a Jean Grey only thing in years. That doesn't even include the retcons of there being multiple hosts before her.
Honestly, I think it’s a combination of Aaron wanting a Phoenix host on his team and the fact that comics tend to “re-introduce” characters when they get a spotlight in the MCU. Aaron couldn’t use any mutants because of the Krakoa status quo so Echo was probably the best fit. UNFORTUNATELY outside of this solo run she has going on, she hasn’t done anything with the power and it kinda seems like she might lose it by the end of the solo. Which honestly, I would prefer
And now I just wanna see her debut in Daredevil just to know how those two manage to communicate wich other without revealing their secret identities cuz in real life those 2 disabilities (deafness and blindness) make it real difficult for both parties to talk to each other because blind people can't (unless they have a radar sense or something) see sign language. Some deaf people can read lips to various extends so they can technically "ear" a blind person talking but they can't respond in a way the blind person can understand. Funny think, was watching Hawkeye with my blind bff (I provided the voice for Maya cuz obviously blind people can't read sub) and afterward I caught myself signing some of the things I was saying (got low-key photographic reflexes and an insane intuitive understanding of language especially language I can see like written language or sign language) and realized just how silly it was cuz OBVIOUSLY she could'nt tell I was signing while talking so to me it makes Echo origin in Daredevil quite intriguing.
Ngl I’m blind and her relationship with Daredevil makes me really uncomfortable. I get that deaf people and blind people seem complementary, but there’s a world of difference there. Daredevil is also barely blind, so it feels like they have nothing in common aside from being seen as disabled in Matt’s case. Kind of has the same energy as your friend trying to set you up with somebody just because you’re the same race
Yet that's how it works especially in Marvel. Look at all the Spider's have some sort of attachment to Peter Parker. The mutants gather just because they're mutants. Even the Martial Artists and Mercs kinda roll together. Echo and DD are attached more so because of Kingpin
@@ExeErdna well, people with similar interests and skills would realistically gather together. Martial artists need to train and sharpshooters can go to the range together
Disney did the character so dirty Echo is such an interesting character with so much potential and the series wasted it. She would've been a great addition to the defenders and they could've set her up in Daredevil.
she needs to be forgotten (jp) with beating some of the avengers she had no buissness beating. I hate how they create new characters and because they want them to stick they make them beat popular characters that are well established and clearly more powerful. Takin a butt whooping can be just as memorable as giving one. Honestly she's a great character and being she is part of "Daredevil's Universe" gives her an advantage. Even though he is not one of the most popular characters his universe is one of the most impressive do to him and a number of very impressive supporting characters who themselves could be used to tell very good stories. The more i read on him the more impressed and convinced that he is one of the best comic characters ever!!! If they can find a nitch for her within and outside of the Daredevils universe she could also be one of the better comic characters in Marvel Comics as that section of marvels universe has a strong enough foundation to spring board her into stardom.

Not only did they find someone to play her who is Native American and Deaf, this is Alaqua's first role, ever!
And they also incorporated her prosthetic leg into the character, and made it a assist fighting tool, rather an hindrance.
Her blocking Clint's sword with her leg was *PEAK* Fight Coordination!
Damn, I was already enjoying her in the Hawkeye show. Learning that just makes it better. With how much the leg was subtlety incorporated into her character I assumed that was a characteristic carried over from the comics.
I fucking love her prosthetic leg being incorporated into her character. The fight scene between her and Clint in the car lot was fantastic.
"Made it an* assist fighting tool"

@@louiswebtser Calm down, tenured professor of English. Jeez, we still understood what he meant.
Man, echo in my opinion is one of the best characters of the new Daredevil millennium. Replacing Electra and her impact was not easy, and although I don't think they succeeded, she is a very entertaining character to read.
Electra to me is a bit overrated. As a younger fan, I think I prefer Echo.
Echo: *starts using sign language to show that she's not evil*
Daredevil : *bonks her over the head with his stick*
I love the Gamechanger clip describing Echo: "Me, I've been here the whole time!"

Drake; "you only clicked on this cuz it's popular"
Me; here because I saw a character I've never hear of before
Hey just as a CODA and deaf person, we don’t use hearing impaired anymore… it’s usually just deaf
Well shit. And here I thought I was using the right term.
@@ComicDrake it’s ok! Now you know! Great video tho! Will be sharing with lots of my deaf friends!

Can you explain how many times characters like iron man or Spider-Man have died
You're not alone in disliking "Enter the Phoenix" and "Heroes Reborn". I feel vindicated.
Echo is an awesome character that I hope we get to see more of
Love the video bro good job
Always love to hear a true comic fan. I have that same shirt so I’m required to say you have a good sense of style.
I cant even watch this but i do remember how dope she was

As we all know this *has never (and will never) work for a character to become popular again. They should have just let her rejoin the Avengers and put her more in the forefront this time. Also the Phoenix is something that Marvel needs to just leave alone. If you don't know all the continuity about the Phoenix, don't use it. Its not just Jean Grey, something, something. I could explain it for hours.
I legit ignore anything phoenix related since it is nomally bad it was bad when it was Jean. Now they pass it to anybody even non psychics and some how she's Thor's mother. It's like whomever has this hardon for this psychic concept needs to stop because it's not working.
@@ExeErdna Technically, you don't have to be a psychic to be a host for the Phoenix Force.
@@dallasgrey4247 I know yet that whole aspect made it kinda unique. It's now just a plot McGuffin
@@ExeErdna Its not a just plot McGuffin. Its a super huge "We can resurrect all the mutants now" level McGuffin.
Isn't the Phoenix force also like
Incredibly evil and turned Jean Grey genocidal?
I click on all your stuff i love your content dude
a shame they never did anything interesting with her even though she had the phoenix force I hope the live action shows do something good with her
Is Heroes Reborn really not well liked? I actually really enjoyed it. Plus all the one shots it had too. Granted I hadn't read Aaron's Avengers run minus Age of Khonshu so maybe I have a different experience going into it
Ah yes, a video about a deaf Avenger, who is now in a TV series starring a deaf Avenger...sponsored by Amazon Music.
Who is canonically a musical prodigy that is literally named ECHO.
Hey! Thanks for being an actual bro and warning that the thing renews automatically. Cause fuck companies that just kinda quietly wait for you to forget.
Watch unless popular or just watch every of your videos
^fingers crossed* so far the mcu is doing a great job with Echo's character and Alaqua Cox is amazing!!
Seems like a lot of these characters go for a period of Marvel not knowing what to do with them before being saved by the MCU lol
#gwenpoolformcu
Echo Disney+ show has been anounced, FYI.
Hey, I didnt click on this video because of the Hawkeye TV series, I clicked on this video because of Echo's card in Marvel Snap!
Echo is literally the new phoinex why isn't she important
jokes on you i'd watch anything you make lol
How do mat and maya talk to each other?
How would a blind person communicate with a deaf person? That's an odd thing to think about, but now i cant stop.
I have no idea! maybe Echo reads Daredevil's lips?
Echo can read lips and talk
I got a bit confused with the game changer clip lol
I didn’t watch this easy because I wanted to finish the season😅
I want to see a fight between her and taskmaster
I wanted to run some things by you from this video. You used the term “hearing impaired” and many deaf and hard of hearing people don’t use that phrase and see it as hurtful and inaccurate, similar to how blind and people with low vision don’t like being referred as “visually impaired”. Additionally, please consider having manual captions on your content so it’s more accessible to people to enjoy your videos accurately. Love your videos and insight on all things comics, hope you have a good day whenever you see this. much love 💙🤟
Echo becoming the Phoenix makes about as much sense as Howard the Duck becoming the Hulk. She has a pretty interesting power set: why not explore that instead of making her another bootleg Jean Grey?
I wouldn't call her a bootleg Jean since she isn't a telepath or a motherly figure like Jean. Since the whole point of Jean's original Phoenix story was about a kind innocent person being corrupted and twisted by great power and choosing to die as herself than live as who she was becoming. The Phoenix hasn't been a Jean Grey only thing in years. That doesn't even include the retcons of there being multiple hosts before her.
Honestly, I think it’s a combination of Aaron wanting a Phoenix host on his team and the fact that comics tend to “re-introduce” characters when they get a spotlight in the MCU. Aaron couldn’t use any mutants because of the Krakoa status quo so Echo was probably the best fit. UNFORTUNATELY outside of this solo run she has going on, she hasn’t done anything with the power and it kinda seems like she might lose it by the end of the solo. Which honestly, I would prefer
I don't see what the big deal is, its the Phoenix force 5hsts what it does
Ohhhhh. Yeeesssss. Howard the Hulk.
@@Peecamarke She's a street level character; giving her cosmic powers makes no sense.
Face it guys. The MCU is aiming for a Heroes Reborn Saga if these new heroes dont pan out lol
I learned about her because of Ultimate Alliance psp
And now I just wanna see her debut in Daredevil just to know how those two manage to communicate wich other without revealing their secret identities cuz in real life those 2 disabilities (deafness and blindness) make it real difficult for both parties to talk to each other because blind people can't (unless they have a radar sense or something) see sign language. Some deaf people can read lips to various extends so they can technically "ear" a blind person talking but they can't respond in a way the blind person can understand.
Funny think, was watching Hawkeye with my blind bff (I provided the voice for Maya cuz obviously blind people can't read sub) and afterward I caught myself signing some of the things I was saying (got low-key photographic reflexes and an insane intuitive understanding of language especially language I can see like written language or sign language) and realized just how silly it was cuz OBVIOUSLY she could'nt tell I was signing while talking so to me it makes Echo origin in Daredevil quite intriguing.
I really liked her comivs
Ngl I’m blind and her relationship with Daredevil makes me really uncomfortable. I get that deaf people and blind people seem complementary, but there’s a world of difference there. Daredevil is also barely blind, so it feels like they have nothing in common aside from being seen as disabled in Matt’s case.
Kind of has the same energy as your friend trying to set you up with somebody just because you’re the same race
Yet that's how it works especially in Marvel. Look at all the Spider's have some sort of attachment to Peter Parker. The mutants gather just because they're mutants. Even the Martial Artists and Mercs kinda roll together. Echo and DD are attached more so because of Kingpin
@@ExeErdna well, people with similar interests and skills would realistically gather together. Martial artists need to train and sharpshooters can go to the range together
Talk about marvel Godzilla
I hate how when Black widow and Hawkeye finally get solo outings, there not as good as the other avengers.
Better than the first two Thor movies, so there's that
I am BEGGING someone to just explain what's up with that weird handprint on one side of her face!
I like it. Without it she looks so bland.
@@LuffyBlack I agree, it looks cool as hell. I just wanna know how it got there.
Man you removed the sex Bob-omb logo from the background. I know it’s been a while but I’m just giving up now. Rip to a king
I absolutely did not.
@@ComicDrake oops. I can’t find it anymore, sorry I guess. I am not great at finding things.
Wait how do daredevil and echo communicate
How do they communicate
Comic drakingnton
Comment cause it apperently helps
But..... there's a spin off series coming.... for...her.....
...... ....... ....
This society confuses the fuck out of me........
Disney did the character so dirty Echo is such an interesting character with so much potential and the series wasted it. She would've been a great addition to the defenders and they could've set her up in Daredevil.
It’s just a minor portion of the hate is just post-Covid woke ranters
Has he done a video on Yelena Belova?
I just cant stand how bad her origin was in the show. The way she side steps and pushes some kid twice her size over with ease pissed me off .
she needs to be forgotten (jp) with beating some of the avengers she had no buissness beating. I hate how they create new characters and because they want them to stick they make them beat popular characters that are well established and clearly more powerful. Takin a butt whooping can be just as memorable as giving one. Honestly she's a great character and being she is part of "Daredevil's Universe" gives her an advantage. Even though he is not one of the most popular characters his universe is one of the most impressive do to him and a number of very impressive supporting characters who themselves could be used to tell very good stories. The more i read on him the more impressed and convinced that he is one of the best comic characters ever!!! If they can find a nitch for her within and outside of the Daredevils universe she could also be one of the better comic characters in Marvel Comics as that section of marvels universe has a strong enough foundation to spring board her into stardom.
Who did she beat that she shouldn’t be able to beat?
How do Matt and Maya communicate with each other?
Maya can reads people's lips very well
@@yeat.leaks0 but what about Matt?
@@schoolprojects1835 he can hear what she's saying, she can talk in the comics
@@yeat.leaks0 ok thanks for clarification it’s just most deaf people i know don’t talk at all
