Anyone else planning on watching Echo on Disney Plus this evening?

If it lives up to the hype I'm hoping for a good six hours of escapism. The review embargo concerns me though.

1. I'm excited for it - don't know if I'll binge though

Hawkeye was one of my favorite Marvel TV series, and I love all the Native cast members in Echo - esp. Zahn McClarnon and Graham Greene.

2. I'm not a big marvel fan. But Echo looks interesting enough to give it a try.

I don't think it's going try and tie into the marvel multiverse.

Which is the main reason I haven't enjoyed a lot of the marvel TV and movIe shows.

7. It ties in, but not directly to the big overarching Avengers-type story

But it's a sequel to Hawkeye (you don't need to watch Hawkeye to appreciate though), and ties into the Netflix Daredevil-verse.

I'm very excited for this one

4. The woman who plays Echo is a phenomenal actor

She's graceful and extremely athletic and her face is very expressive.

6. I'm not sure if she's done anything between

But Hawkeye was her first professional acting gig - before that she had only done high school plays.

9. Incredible!

Watched the first episode last night. Maybe a bit of a slow start but she was amazing!

5. Some non-spoiler thoughts

A few things disappointed me. I really thought it would have more action... A lot more, along the lines of Daredevil on Netflix. The pacing was definitely off and they really should have fixed it up before releasing. Her powers... They really, really should have explained them much better.

There is a lot to like here though, it's not all bad. Acting is top notch by everyone. The story it told was well written... That may seem to clash with wanting her powers explain better but really, they are not used much. The series is really about relationships... With Kingpin, her family and her tribe. I thought the cinematography and directing were well done. It's also not hard to binge watch it... It has five episodes and I think it was just a bit over three hours to go through it all.

All in all, I'd give it a 7/10.

8. Minor spoiler reply

Very much the same reaction here but I got put off by the way she lost her leg in that where on earth did that piece of plate glass come from?

The Netflix Marvels spoiled me.

10. Agree, but she really is an amputee

They had to work it in somehow, I guess.
