I watched the first episode and I'll probably stick with the next. Am I alone in finding the lead actress lacking any kind of charisma or intensity?

Barely got thru episode 1 due to environmental issues (East Coast storm/no power) but really enjoyed it. Probably finish off the series tonight.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Just finished the first ep... nice. I think I'll take this slow, one episode a day.

But then again, I could binge it all, but not until tomorrow.

The fight scene with DD was pretty cool.

Wrapped it up and it was fine. It has a brisk pace and it's harmless. The final episode has an end credit sequence.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

So is this also on Hulu for a limited time or does it stay? A bit confused.

It's on Hulu because Disney is merging the two platforms. I don't think it's limited.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Most of this was boring.
Blink and you missed the DD appearance.
No idea what happened in the last episode.

I watched the first two. I'll likely wrap it up tonight.

You can very much tell that this was redone in editing.

I've watched the first two. Got a little bored, but I'll watch the rest. The DD appearance was cool.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Ok.. finished this and can say I was disappointed. Not so much with Echo and her "warrior's journey". But it wasn't what I was expecting. Like the previews were a bait a switch, thinking I'd see all this action in Hell's Kitchen, but that never happened. Only a flashback with DD and Kingpin getting psychically emasculated.

Side gripe: what did they do with all the bodies left at the skate rink?

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Watched the first 3 tonight and outside of the DD fight and the fight at the roller rink it’s pretty boring.

That undertaker lady likely made them disappear!

I thought the same amount of thugs that came in, also went out when the call came in from Fisk... and the dead weren't really dead, they just got up and left.
Uncle Henry and Echo didn't seem too quick or eager to make a phone call to clean out the rink right away.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Finished episodes two and three this morning... and I noticed something: Devery Jacobs, who plays Bonnie, was the voice of Kahhori from the second season of Marvel's What If..?

I like the show so far... I wonder if Biscuits should join Wong and Madisyn for a spin-off series.

Finished it. It was OK. The whole tribe mystic power thing was sort of dumb. Was good to see Donofrio again as Kingpin. Such good casting.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

I finished it tonight and I liked it quite a bit. It was different.

I liked how the power of the ancestors could be shared between the ladies.

And…
Spoiler:
… who had “Biscuits runs over two vans full of bad guys with a monster truck” on their Echo Bingo Card?


… and that end credits scene must be setting up a future DD storyline.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Wrapped it up last night. I enjoyed it but did expect a different story in NY. Kinda glad I didn't watch the trailers before and thinking it was going to be different than what it was.

The ASL/subtitles did force me to pay attention and not drift off at times on my phone... which was a refreshing change.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

It just dawned on me that Chaske Spencer, who played Henry, also played Eli Whipp in The English.

When I showed his picture to my wife she told me he was Sam, one of the wolves in Twilight: New Moon. I looked it up, he was 19 when appeared in that movie.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

Watched the first episode. Meh, the action stuff was kinda cool, but the rest of the story I didn’t care for.

I’ll probably skip the rest.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024

I enjoyed it. I liked the representation of both the Native American and deaf communities (and Kingpin’s contacts were really a neat invention).

The action was great, the characters were interesting and it wasn’t a huge world-ending story. I’d love to see her pop up again.

I re-watched the first episode with some friends to get them started on it. Even better second time.

Yeah, I didn't care for that stuff. I think they did something similar in Ms. Marvel, a show I enjoyed much more than this.

Was good to see Donofrio again as Kingpin. Such good casting.
I found Echo pretty boring except for Kingpin's scenes. He needs his own series.
