Someone better have made a gif of Uncle Henry giving that absolutely charming wink before capping that guy, though

[phantom-scrybe]

echo being molded into fisk’s personal daredevil is so good thematically

Okay but can we talk about Martin and Nova moon? Like they both met a sweaty hot shoeless man in the middle of nowhere and not only made sure he was alright but offered him food? AND A RIDE TOO?!

And during the ride, Eddie was so tired he fell asleep and presumably didn't even take a turn driving once? Like it was all Nova driving. Also can't forget Leaf (the son) sneaking Eddie his last chocolate.

And even after reaching Vegas where they could have just separated there and then Martin gave Eddie money??? you know... MONEY THAT MARTIN AND NOVA MOON PULLED FROM THEIR SAVINGS!? and shoes!?

ANNNNNNNDDDD THENNN!!!!! MARTIN AND HIS FAMILY WERE SAFE AND IN THE CAR TO GETAWAY BUT HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE EDDIE WAS OKAY!! HE WAS SCARED BUT HIS NEED TO MAKE SURE EDDIE WAS OKAY WAS GREATER!!! HE RAN, KILLED THE ALIEN, AND HELPED EDDIE ONE LAST TIME!!!

LIKE WHY IS BARELY ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE MOON FAMILY!?

Alaqua Cox & Charlie Cox as Maya Lopez/Echo & Matt Murdock/Daredevil ECHO, 1x01 “Chafa”

[hopelessfandomfreak]

the way agatha and rio smirk at each other before agatha shows the coven her scar, and the way agatha immediately says “no you don’t” when rio claims she has a scar…like of course they know exactly what each other’s bodies look like, and it’s equally soft and hot how obvious they make it

Maya Lopez & Uncle Henry Lopez Echo Season 1

ECHO (2024) 1.02: Lowak dir. Sydney Freeland

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

I’ll write more on this when I get back home. Based on the most recent episode of Daredevil Born Again, I think I’m starting to get why Foggy and Karen weren’t part of this season’s storyline. It looks like the focus of the show is Matt, Fisk, and now Frank figuring out what they want their legacies to be. Matt gave up being Daredevil because he felt he crossed a line, Fisk is trying to repair his image, and now Frank has to deal with the fact that he’s become an idol to the public. It also looks like the writers wanted Matt, Fisk, and Frank to go on this journey of self-discovery on their own. Not only did Foggy and Karen get written out, Fisk is no longer on good terms with Vanessa and Maya Lopez.

Based on where we’re at with the show, I can see the logic behind that. Matt’s always had Foggy and Karen to turn to if he was lost. Frank is a loner, but he did have Karen, Micro, and Amy Bendix. Fisk, even though he’s a magnificent bastard, had Vanessa and Maya. So it looks like the writers wanted to see where they can take the three men if they didn’t have their support.

It fits with the theme of being “born again”. Who are Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, and Frank Castle if you strip away what made them Daredevil, Kingpin, and The Punisher, respectively? Now, instead of someone telling them what they should be and helping them along the way, the three of them have to figure it out on their own. It’s obviously going to be a messy journey, especially with how emotionally volatile the three of them are. But I feel like that’s the whole point of the show, to see these men either self-destruct or climb out of the hole they’re in and be “born again”.

You can already see how the three of them are without their support. Matt, without Foggy and Karen, is becoming more open to the idea of punishment and retribution (aka he’s becoming like Frank Castle). He also thinks he’s become unworthy of grace since he can’t even bring himself to attend church. Fisk, without Vanessa and Maya, is making a sincere attempt at rehabilitating his image in order to win them back. However, you can already see him start to relapse with him blackmailing the police commissioner. And now, it looks like Frank will have to learn how to live with the fact that he’s the “bad guy”. Because it doesn’t matter how much he justifies his actions, the fact that regular people now want to be him makes him a toxic figure.

Matt’s gonna have to learn how to forgive himself, Fisk is gonna self-destruct since he can’t change his ways, and Frank is gonna have to accept he’s the villain while making it clear that people should instead be aspiring to be like Captain America or Daredevil (the Cap example is from the comics).

TL;DR: DDBA is the superhero equivalent of a mid-life crisis.

DAREDEVIL in Marvel's Echo (2024)

1x01: "Chafa"

[mysharona1987]

Re: Echo. Marvel, with one of its more realistic writing moments ever: “Wait, but how can Wilson Fisk, a notorious New York career criminal and mob boss who’s been in prison possibly think he can have a serious career in politics?”

Then you’re like, “Oh, right.”

You know what’s different about having real disabled people on screen in superhero stuff?

Alaqua Cox is Deaf and has limb difference - she uses a prosthesis to walk.

Suddenly being Deaf isn’t something that’s erased by getting super powers that “compensate.” Even the translator that Fisk designed still uses sign language and the point of that tech was to show how little invested Fisk was at meeting Echo as she is. People actually have to sign to communicate and it dramatically changed the way the show was filmed. You saw her family learning to sign as an act of love and connection.

Suddenly being an amputee isn’t about having a futuristic prosthesis that acts EVEN BETTER than a standard leg. In fact, it’s so much better she’s not disabled anymore and she looks totally like an able bodied person. (Unless she were evil in which case it would be used to make her look Evil.) It looks like a prosthesis! One beautifully decorated with her Native heritage. Her prosthesis breaks during a job and she has to have her loved one repair it. It fell off during a fight! Her foot wasn’t even withheld from her by her captors - it was returned. And best of all - it’s her leg. It doesn’t shoot lasers. It’s not just an aesthetic.

You love to see it.

The conversation around what happened after the world changed back had real “what happened after the snap” energy

[burningfudge]

I really need matt murdock, kate bishop, and maya lopez to meet and form the kingpin hate club (matt & maya in echo doesn’t really count)

I know my girl kate is seething at fisk becoming mayor and poor girl doesn’t even have a secret identity

rip kate bishop 😭

[hopelessfandomfreak]

just wanted to point out that the ballad of the witches’ road has the lyric “I hold Death’s hand in mine” so…maybe we’ll be lucky enough to get a scene or shot with agatha and rio holding hands

[nikredd]

They should've add hug scene between Maya and Henry
