#echo 2024

For the opening they had northern Cree and I was like !!!

Our our sister tribe even had someone go down to help with it, so our tribe was represented too!

My gma and I were like okay where's the frybread stand? We even saw a Navajo frybread stand in the back and were like nice

I cried so so much at this show. I loved the characters, the sense of Place, the sound design. I adore Maya Lopez now. I’m really glad to get to know her character: she was one of the interesting parts of Hawkeye, for me. I’d love to see more.

I wonder what happened with the ten-episode version Feige said was un-airable. The first episode may strike a little unsatisfying because it’s trying to do both a “previously on” for like…three series? *and* sketch out a prologue, and I found it a bit difficult to figure out when The Main Action of the series properly starts, as well as the timeline (like, good lord, it’s been 12/13 years in-universe since the Battle of New York, which is when all the Netflix series heroes kind of started up, so, uh…time???) but it’s not like you actually need to Do Homework to catch up. but once it’s done that it’s basically fine. I had watched Hawkeye and I couldn’t remember nor place into MCU canon timeline what they showed from it but it didn’t matter outside Maya’s character anyway, not for this.

It’s cool that the Halluci Nation (credited as A Tribe Called Red, their previous name) got on the soundtrack here, with multiple tracks—there are a lot of cool First Nations and Native American artists in electronic music, and maybe folks’ll look them up.

The anti-woke Youtuber crowd is probably crying right now.
