Echo, Amputees, & Intersectionality • Rebroadcast

The Superhero Ethics gang was with their families over the New
Year, but enjoy this rebroadcast of a favorite episode!As an
amputee, Echo holds a special place in my (Matthew’s) heart, so I’m
excited to have comics expert Will Freeland join me to discuss this
meaningful new MCU show. Seeing a superhero who shares some of my
experiences is incredible. Maya Lopez immediately enters the
pantheon of disabled representation done right. In this episode,
Will and I analyze the show’s triumphs. We discuss Maya’s
thoughtful portrayal as a deaf, Indigenous American amputee. We
appreciate the respect given to Choctaw culture. And of course, we
analyze the return of Wilson Fisk. As always, Will provides
insightful context from the comic books. Meanwhile, I share my
personal reactions as an amputee seeing myself represented on
screen. Echo recaptures the spirit of the Netflix Marvel universe.
It delivers an uplifting, kick-ass story centered on a new, deaf,
indigenous hero. This show resonates with so many people. I can’t
wait for you to hear our perspectives.
