It only took around 30 movies and 500 years of extreme subjection by the white man, but Marvel is finally paying tribute to Indigenous peoples! Aho!
Earlier this month, Disney released the new streaming mini-series Echo.
Based on the Marvel comic book by David Mack and Joe Quesada, and a spin off the long-running Daredevil series proper, the new series chronicles the journey of Maya Lopez, a deaf Indigenous woman with the preternatural ability to mimic people’s fighting moves.
With her ability to mimic movements, the series explores her journey, highlighting themes of identity, resilience, and empowerment as she confronts her past and defines her place in the Marvel Universe.
The lead in Echo is Maya Lopez.
Previously confronting both Daredevil and Hawkeye in past adventures, Echo's most fearsome adversary is also her former role model, the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk.
