ECHO (Marvel Spotlight) | NYSQ Breakdown & Review

FELLOW NERDS!!!  The MCU has made a comeback!

Well, hopefully anyway.  Your Fellow Nerds of Not Your Status Quo and the King of Fandos himself, Fatherly Fandom have been, in all truthiness, skeptically looking forward to Echo.  Labeled as a Marvel Spotlight with all episodes dropped at once, the obvious fear was that Echo would follow in the dragging footsteps of the current MCU.  Even with the exciting news of Vincent D'Onofrio returning as Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin and a cameo from Daredevil played by Charlie Cox, things weren't looking great for Echo.

Will the stellar acting of Alaqua Cox as Echo be enough to save what sounds like a doomed Marvel series?  Watch this live video to find out for yourselves what WE think of Echo.
