Episode notes

Echo was a surprising addition to the Phase Five lineup. While the other characters in the MCU were characters with significant followings, Echo was a relatively minor character from the comics. However, due to a strong showing in the Hawkeye series, Alaqua Cox’s character was allowed to star in her own series with ramifications for Daredevil: Born Again. In this episode we review the Echo series. We talk about the connections to Hawkeye, Daredevil, and the prior Netflix series of Defenders characters. We discuss the depiction of the characters, what we think of the performances, and whether we’d like to see Echo show up again in the MCU.

This week’s five-minute controversy asks who should be cast to play Kang in any future MCU appearances.

This week James, Alli, and Stephen join the cast.
