While they're both Marvel TV series, She-Hulk and the recently released Echo couldn't be more different. Led by Tatiana Maslany, the former sees lawyer Jennifer Walters comically try to juggle work and dating, while the latter centers on Alaqua Cox's Maya Lopez, as she tries to reconnect with her Native American roots in between bloodying up bad guys. They've got one thing in common, though: showcasing how Daredevil is the MCU's most versatile character these days.
After weeks of fan anticipation, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) shows up in the first episode of Echo, gets into a gnarly brawl with the titular anti-hero, and then sods off. Thanks to the show's TV-MA rating, it's a nasty fight – bones break, explosives go off, Dave Porter's dramatic score ratchets up the tension – and presents Hornhead as a real threat to Maya. Backlit by the sun streaming through a bunch of big windows, he's almost shadow-like as he flips and kicks his way around the warehouse: an anonymous annihilator. I completely bought it. I also completely bought it when he sheepishly did a "walk of shame" (Cox describes it as a 'stride of pride') from Jen's place in She-Hulk episode 8. Later, in the She-Hulk finale, Matt turns up to help our eponymous green hero, but is comically too late and just… winds up spending a romantic few days with her instead.
