Echo Pitch Meeting

Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
Disney has been going all-out with Marvel TV shows on Disney+ over the past few years - with seemingly dwindling interest from audience. Their latest show “Echo” is a spinoff of one of those shows, centred around a character who was kind of in it!
Echo definitely raises some questions. Like how did Kingpin survive that? Why are we rooting for a character that puts her family and innocent people’s lives in danger? What are her powers exactly? Did she just speedrun Kingpin’s therapy?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Echo!

I really love what Disney is doing to support artist like Ryan. I can't even guess how many millions of dollars and man hours went into making this entire series just so Ryan could create a 4 minute video. Really generous of them.

[@peterg76yt]

What's truly amazing is that they didn't try to make something that might have some secondary function or revenue potential. That's dedication.

I can't believe there was no mention of the fact that echo's original powers are that she can mirror anyone's fighting style, but the genius writers thought that was "lame" so they decided to give her "indigenous ancestor glowy-hand" powers instead.

@@TakeshiYoung ok, but taskmaster is legit cool and having a taskmaster like hero show would be really ineresting.

[@SeanWheeler100]

@@TakeshiYoung Generic glowy powers with origins about Native American stereotypes is far worse than being a Taskmaster clone. Especially when the Taskmaster from Black Widow got her copying skills from a computer in her helmet and not from a natural talent. And if anyone's confused about the pronouns I used for Taskmaster, spoiler alert: Taskmaster is not Tony Masters but Dreykov's daughter. And you wouldn't get that from promotional materials because the Captain America stuntman Andy Lister wore the suit for most of the movie to preserve the twist about Taskmaster being a woman. They wanted us to think a character who came from a place that came from a place that trained female assassins was a man so that we would make misogynistic outbursts at a movie when we were already watching it for the badass ladies. Not a good twist to preserve in a Black Widow movie.

[@Blisterdude123]

I think the worst thing about how stupid Kingpin's defeat is here is like...he'd ALREADY faced and come to terms with his haunted past, in Netflix' Daredevil. He'd faced and accepted killing his father to protect his mother. He didn't regret it, and he'd accepted it had made him into the man he was. He wasn't afraid of it. So it just came off like such a lazy regressive copout Echo 'broke' him all of a sudden by dredging up a past he'd already buried.

[@gruby970]

[@Degarth]

Thank you for reminding me of that.

[@whodatboi2567]

The thing is it's a pain that he still holds on to. The 'acceptance' he has is still a cover he uses to not have to truly confront it (especially given his anger issues still persisting). So Echo was able to remove that cover and force him to truly face his trauma; not hold on to the empowerment he got from killing him but to truly come to grips with the helplessness, fear and pain he had to endure.

[@naamadossantossilva4736]

He literally doesn’t though. This is the problem with many fans of these types of videos, they think it’s actual criticism, not merely making jokes, partially about perceived flaws. Criticism tells you the error, and how to fix it. Pitch meeting does that only in scenarios where the problem is braindead in the first place, like the WW84 bodyswap.

You know, I'm not usually surprised in these. Awful movies and shows tend to be very predictable. But "she touchs him with her glowing mind powers and makes him confront his childhood trauma" came out of left field

[@mikespearman1414]

From what I understand the show itself doesn't set it up much better.

[@TheFiddleFaddle]

@mikespearman1414 It really doesn't, but honestly I don't blame the show. It was really promising, with some really interesting characters, but Disney only gave them 6 episodes to work with and everything felt crammed. Just 1 or 2 more episodes and it wouldn't have felt so rushed.

[@WobblyBits_X]

@@TheFiddleFaddle I second this and would like to add that I thought the performances were generally pretty solid (especially Fisk, of course). She really only fully discovers her powers in the final episode, definitely crammed.

[@joegreene7619]

@@TheFiddleFaddle Then they cut it down to 5 episodes which tightened the reigns even further. There was a really good concept in there, and the performances were all good, but it's clear that too much was left on the cutting room floor.

That was Spock's brother's schtick in one of the worse Star Trek movies.

Weaponized therapy is something Hannibal Lecter's been doing it for decades.

Echo: I thought I killed you. How did you survive? Kingpin: My uncle is Palpatine.

Thank you Ryan for keeping me in the loop of what is going on in the MCU. I wasn't even aware there had been a Hawkeye show.

[@DJHolte]

The Hawkeye series was surprisingly good, I thought.

[@windmacher]

I would rather watch Ryan summarise Marvel then waste my time actually watching it.

[@jimbobjones9330]

Damn. Somehow Marvel has done the impossible... made its universe so dull that I barely paid attention to a Pitch Meeting about a show in it. That's some bad second-hand boring.

When watching these, I honestly think that the two characters are different people. BTW - I gave up watching Echo after half an episode, so this pitch meeting was perfect for me to find out what happened, without having to actually spend the time watching the whole series. Thanks Ryan!! 🙂

2 episodes. Not doing anymore

[@maxxon99]

Thank you so much for saving my time! And subscription fees.

[@theultimatefrozenfan]

That is like THE GREATEST reason I've heard for why/how someone escapes death "by not dying"🤣 Ryan comes up with the best phrases I decided! Coming up with them is super easy, barely an inconvenience! Maya wanted Kingpin to not be an alive person anymore. She tried to do a murder on him, but it didn't work.

[@picklecage5488]

She should've just put him in a room.
