Maya was a young girl when he father, an enforcer for Wilson Fisk, was brutally murdered by The Kingpin. She was raised by Fisk to believe Daredevil killed her father. Maya, born deaf, was capable of mimicking all sorts of fighting styles and actions simply by seeing them. Fisk attempted to use these powers when Maya became an adult to kill Daredevil.

I find it weird that kingpin didnt die in either the comics or the show. He didnt even lose an eye even tho he litteraly gets shot pointblank in the face

[@hectorarredondo6929]

One thing I never understood was how did Maya and Matt Murdock communicate

[@ryanRosenblatt]

Maybe Maya can read lips

[@hectorarredondo6929]

@@ryanRosenblatt sure and es daredevil has his radar sense but when they were together both didn’t knew of their identities so how did they communicate

[@ryanRosenblatt]

Trolls online: Oh wow. The Phoenix went woke. Key Issues: Shut up. lol

[@KeyIssues]

I just don’t like the term woke at all, I think it’s the ultimate “I don’t have a better complaint” card

[@GO-GO_SO-SO]

@@KeyIssues So true.

[@DPSFSU]

But wasn't the Phoenix a woman first anyway? Why would people say it went woke just because Echo got it? I think people are more upset because they made Echo into something completely different, not as grounded and with weird, not well explained powers. The show was all over the place with run time and pacing. Fisk was taken out by 4 fingers of love, basically. Kevin Feige is not in tune with the core Marvel fan base. Marvel has gone tone deaf, if you will.

[@GO-GO_SO-SO]

@@DPSFSU I guess they would say because she is not white, it's woke. For some, woke just means anything that is not straight, white, and/or male.

[@DPSFSU]

@@GO-GO_SO-SO that's dumb AF! I don't care about race swapping for characters but when they do blatant gender swaps just to seem more "woke" is seriously spitting in the face of true fans and the creators. What if they made Scarlet Witch male, because men can be witches too, and Wanda was your favorite character in the comics. You wouldn't be happy. It seems like a huge disservice to the people who created the characters and stories.

[@TheMegahontake]

Awesome video

[@Aureilius2112]

Love your vid. Really unfortunate that this show turned out to be another MCU pander project.

[@GG-gg1yv]

Great Video as always but quick question, When is the Kylo vid coming?

[@KeyIssues]

Not sure, garrick works in mysterious ways.

[@Galaxies3000]

So. Just female Taskmaster. Then again, Taskmaster became a female too.

[@perrygilbert8276]

I don’t really think there’s that many similarities between them, other than the photographic reflex ability.

[@Galaxies3000]

@@perrygilbert8276 that's... literally the point. They have the same "ability". Almost identical.

[@perrygilbert8276]

@@Galaxies3000 yeah but just because one character shares the same ability as another, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re versions or copies of each other. That’s like saying Falcon is just Angel from X-Men because they both have wings or Winter Soldier is just Captain America with no shield. They’re only similar in abilities but not much else.

[@ChiChiLand299]

How on Earth would somebody with her visual skills and dissecting memory not be able to tell that Daredevil was too young to be the person to kill her father up until she finds out who he actually is? She should have been able to figure that out the first time she saw him lol

[@KeyIssues]

I think, with any fiction, there is a certain level of suspension of belief. Kinda like why doesn’t anyone know Clark Kent is superman.

[@ChiChiLand299]

@@KeyIssues it's not about figuring out who Daredevil is it's the simple fact that she should have known just looking at him that he's not old enough to be the guy who killed her father. You don't have to be a genius to tell the difference between a 30 year old and a 50 year old And even when it comes to Clark Kent in the comic books people point out a lot that he looks like Superman but nobody believes that he's Superman because he's such a goofball act that he puts on to fool people lol

[@judechannelimaginationcros8684]

Can i read Echo from the Marvel Comics, please?

[@KeyIssues]

Yes on their app

[@judechannelimaginationcros8684]

@@KeyIssues Which app?

[@jackieanderson9408]

This was sweet 🎂

[@lnt1984]

Is she even deaf and one legged or is that just the mcu?

[@baphylamb]

Echo is deaf in the comics, the actress just so happens to be deaf and a single amputee

[@KeyIssues]

In the comics she is deaf, but is not missing any limba

[@tychambers4629]

The Phoenix force is a goddamn parasite. Lol

[@12Blubb12]

But, what about the Video about Batman and daredevil?

[@andrewfox9074]

Why didn't we get that in the show that sounds amazing

[@KeyIssues]

Kevin thinks he knows what audiences want better than the writers who wrote the comics he bases his crap off of

[@johnpalmer8834]

I thought this show started off strong but the wheels came off in the last episode. Really letdown

[@Aureilius2112]

I thought it came off the wheels when she left New York.

[@Dipstikk]

Loved your brief little dig at the wokescolds. God, they're obnoxious.

[@juggernaut4898]

This channel is so dead. WTF happened?

[@DPSFSU]

Oh man was this series trash!!
