>she's fricking Bravestarr
but, but, she has a vegana.
Bravestar can control his powers, though. He just shouts it out. Why is this version like an omnitrix?
she doesn't listen to the instructions
so is this character just an OC they made and decided to give a show to?
She was like Matt, but deaf instead of blind in the comics. Just heightend senses and reflexes, from what I recall from the Bendis run.
She exists in the comics, but aside from a brief stint as the Phoenix, she can only perfectly copy people's fighting styles, like Taskmaster.
ma gnam ii maauh opeh
ney aaoh caw gmee ehoh
inb4 they named her Echo because the echoes of her ancestors' powers flow through her or some shit like how Namor was named
I thought the Magical Native American was le racist?
Oh so early seasons of Ben 10 but bad and woke got it
so early seasons of ben 10
>Marvel's Primer
This screams white person who has never met an actual native decides they need more native representation & just goes " well tats & animals are native right?" Just when you think execs can't get any more moronic, they pull stuff like this
Is there a single person who will watch this entire show and not just skim it for the Daredevil and Kingpin scenes? They're even facilitating that by dumping it all at once.
at this point Im not even watching Daredevil, not shoehorned into other shows or his own show
>she can't control her powers
>the show will always conveniently give her the power she needs for the situation
What's the point? Just let her pick her powers. Actually, I don't give a frick because I'm not watching it either way.
>and doesn't get to choose which power she will get each time she activates her tattoos
>Native American
>Has the power of GAMBLING
>Her kryptonite is whiskey.
And being geographically relocated
I need the internet to take this and run with it. I want to see morons trying to defend why the only "Indigenous peoples" hero has to have a power that is tied to gambling.
But can she fart multiplying turkeys, summon a DeLorean or turn her enemies into Burger Time wieners?
The Best Friends playing tennis with fart projectiles still lives rent free in my head
It started when the noble spirit of her native ancestors did what it did.
Not being able to control what power she gets is bad. I only like heroes that don't have flaws, like Captain Marvel.
Isn't the character's, and I use this word very loosely here, appeal is that she's a very low-tier street-level vigilante? About on the same level as Daredevil and Moon Kn-- Oh.
Netflix Daredevil was street level for the most part. Outside the Hand who grew into bullshit in Defenders, but they where also delusional jobbers so that even it out.
I was referring to Moon Knight who in MCU was outright supernatural because they wanted to avoid Batman comparisons, I guess.
Really not a fan of that change by the way, prefer my MK to ambigiously supernatural at best. This just continues the trend of giving superpowers to low-tier street-level characters.
*to be
And just to clarify, I meant non-powered characters. I'm okay with Luke Cage and Spider-Man.
Yeah I get it. Btw, having never read Moonknight, I only saw an issue posted here some month ago where he staked some vampires. What's MK about really ? Is he really interracting with magic shit or is he just a schyzo and it's all in his head and he just staked some drug dealer ?
Long story short he's a son of a rabbi and a military/CIA-turned-mercenary who died by the hand of a psychopathic warlord and was resurrected by an Egyptian deity, later becoming this deity's avatar. Also has multiple personalitues and, especially in modern incarnations, portrayed as somewhat mentally unhinged. Mostly sticks to low-key supernatural and street level threats but not Strange or Spider-Man tier. He's pretty much an underdog of New York superheroes and gets trashed a lot which is why I find him more appealing than most.
Current run looks like it balances street-level shit, Marc being the Moon Pope, and vampire sect stuff lifted out of the Blade movies.
Looks fun, I'm gonna read it once it's done.
Since I rarely get this opportunity, I'm gonna shill the original Moench/Sienkiewicz' run. Feel free to read it in the meantime. It's pretty good and helps to understand the context behind many modern runs since it's one run they tend to reference the most.
Seconding this rec cause HOOOOLY SHIIIIT this run is top-tier shit.
I still wonder who the frick they are targetting with that show. Who give a frick about Echo ? Only reason people will look at it is because what they want is Daredevil S4
I don't believe anyone can be this dumb. This is FoX-Men tier "use the name and make up dumb new powers" shit.
>her tattoos let her summon an 18th-Century rifle
This is the show that's going to set up Born Again, and lead into the wider street-level MCU. This is the ONLY capeshit coming out this year I'm even mildly curious about.
Oh boy.... This sounds awful.
Like Hanuman is the god of the black people awful.
Pretty much all her powers are generic and universally useful for fights. They really should have made it a bunch of really specific powers that she's forced to use in creative ways.
>muh strength and endurance
Always these boring powers in capeshit. Here's a good one: the ability to influence cause and effect.
So Longshot ?
Didn’t she just have Taskmaster like memory as her “power?”
>Each tattoo grants Maya a different power, but she can only use one power at the time, and doesn't get to choose which power she will get each time she activates her tattoos.
Sounds lame and gay and a recipe for disaster. And considering that it's an MCU show I'm sure it won't even result in a cool action scene.
>Let’s base a tv show around a woman who looks like a counter jockey at the DMV
I'd be more disappointed if a street-level brawler was traditionally pretty.
>In ECHO, Maya Lopez gains superpowers through magic tattoos inherited from her Choktaw ancestors
eww... this is Iron Fist all over again
>two female superheroes in a row who’s shtick is getting every sort of power
Remember when we went from an armored billionare to a space greek god
So basically, Emilia Super Skrull PART 2
This b***h has one skill: fight mimicry, that's it
>She'll manifest a rifle used by her native americans ancestors
wut
Who could possible care about this show?
Deaf people, chud.
Have fun reading 6 hours of captions about tattoos! And don't forget, she's played by an actress with a missing limb. So they'll be a lot of hand discussion about that!
I'm interested in Daredevil and the street-level stuff because Marvel hasn't ruined it yet.
This and the Daredevil show will frick it up.
I'm not deluded enough to expect Netflix DD-tier fight scenes but I have a small idiotic hope they could reach early Arrow-tier fight scenes.
>including the ability to manifest the rifle used by her ancestors
So it would be super inaccurate, take forever to load and probably just misfire? What a shitty super power.
It's a magic rifle anyway.
>enhanced speed (including the ability to determine the potential trajectory of a person/item's movement), among others.

How does Hyper Math work into Goes Fast?
>among others.
So whatever else they need, underwater breathing. Orgasm Denial or something.
>How does Hyper Math work into Goes Fast?
Superspeed calculations.
