    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.

      @@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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    I'm no industry insider, and this might've been pointed out by commenters before, but something I find interesting about the premise for the Pitch Meeting series is that we occasionally get a glimpse into what a studio executive who understands good business _and_ good storytelling can really contribute by asking good questions and performing a real, valuable service for potential viewers by coming between creatives and the actual means of producing their ideas.
    The studio exec has somewhat become a stereotype, caricature, and even bogeyman that so often gets blamed for stifling really good ideas from creatives like writers and directors...and this in many cases is probably accurate. However, that leaves me curious about those times when someone higher up, who's seen decades of good and bad ideas come and go, has and uses the authority to question or outright shoot down something terrible and spare us from it reaching the screen. I'm sure it happens.

    In the comics, after Wilson Fisk killed Maya's father, William, the Kingpin adopted her. He had her trained as his assassin and was later sent to prove her skillset against Daredevil. She kept a white hand printed on her face, nodding to the bloody hand print her father left behind when he died. With regard to her Echo identity, Maya was such a brilliant warrior, she had photographic reflexes, similar to Taskmaster. This made her a great copy of her opponents, which made her similar to an echo. She took on the Echo identity in her formative arc and began her career as a former enemy, lover and then ally to Matt Murdock.
    Taloa asks Maya to forget the death and destruction of her past, and the lives she also took as a gangster. Whether it be William dying due to Kingpin's schemes, Maya shooting Fisk in the eye to set herself free, or the pain of blaming herself for Taloa's accident, Taloa begs her daughter to let go of this hate. Instead, Taloa makes it clear the Choctaw people are healers, and that they will always "echo through her." She calls Maya "Echo" once more, reminding her she is meant to cure hearts and grow emotionally.

    I really hated seeing ads for this show. I saw Kingpin, I saw dark, dingy city streets... I was expecting maybe Daredevil or the Punisher. Nope. Just Echo.☹️
    And just so everyone that reads this is aware, I don't keep up with the MCU so I don't know what has or hasn't happened

    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!! 🙂

    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.

    Surprised there was no mention of Kingpin’s translator device that turn his spoken words into ASL gestures instead of just written words

    i secretly think that there's someone at marvel who's a huge Ryan George fan and just keeps brainstorming horrible movie and series ideas just so there can be a pitch meeting vid about it....

      It’s not just Marvel. Remember when DC tried to bring back Watchmen comics? Darwin Cooke agreed to do it but only because he was certain that DC would never go ahead with his idea and the person he teamed with would say no. Unfortunately they didn’t realise he was sabotaging them and they greenlit the project.

    The pure blasphemy of remembering Daredevil from She Hulk only🤣. Started this show to see if it would be interesting, then got to that "previously on" segment. I realized that if all the scenes of Echo training with Kingpin/getting that bond which would inevitably break and becoming a cool villain who'd eventually become an antihero are going to be skipped through, I'm going to skip through my experience of this show by watching the wonderfully paced Pitch Meeting instead. No regrets😊
