She’s amazing, the show was amazing . Short but sweet season that just makes for a great rewatch
I love how she smiles
it's funny how she has that amazing smile but had to hide it 99.9% of the time in the show. if you don't see an interview of her you would never see it
Congratulations Alaqua... we need more of Maya Lopez
You will never see her again, the show is atrocious
@@babyspider99she’s gonna be in daredevil born again bud keep crying
Sorry in advance, I didn't know that she was actually a deaf person, I thought she was just acting in the film, but that's what makes the film Echo even more extraordinary because she is someone who is very extraordinary too and I really enjoyed watching Echo, too bad the episodes are too short.
Ummm, no the show was trash
@@babyspider99 no, the show is not you
Taken together the series is the length of a movie.
@@babyspider99 Too bad that was all you got out of it. I liked the series because it was a nice introduction to the present day Chok Taw nation in Oklahoma. If I ever get the chance to go to a pow wow I'm going.
@@babyspider99that's al sad for you. This show made history and if all you can pull from the culture and inclusivity in Echo was "trash", then you’re unwell and should seek help.
She's deaf and an amputee (and a mom since October of last year)! And she did an absolutely incredible job in Echo! She's breaking barriers and even though i don't know her, I can't hep but to be proud of her!
Holy moly you are gayest man on earth
I absolutely LOVED her and her off screen persona as she's so sweet and fun.
I finished the show not too long ago, and it was cinema.
Said no one ever, this show is trash
@@babyspider99 based on your tone, you’re nothing but a misogynistic asshole yourself.
Waste your fanboy tears elsewhere spider 99 idiot.
I loved the show Echo, and I can't wait to see more of her story and evolution. Hoping for some good crossovers in other Marvel shows/movies soon! Great job Alaqua!
Oh and congrats on the newborn!
This show was supposed to be canned and never shown it was so bad.
@@babyspider99 Im glad you told me! That really changes my opinion of her and the show. 🙃
Show was great. Loved her facial expressions and the overall mature vibe of the show.
I did not know she wasn’t originally an actor. She was amazing like I wanna see this character more. She was badass and awesome
He expressions are just top tier. Like her sign language is naturally showing emotions the non verbal communication is amazing she really immersed me as a real character if she is non actor she has A LOT OF TALENT!!!!
Are you people paid shills to write this crap? Lady can't act, her fight scenes were not believable and looked sloppy. The show sucked the fattest pickle
Amazing. Your baby son so cute . God bless to you and your son .
First Native and deaf superhero, yes; first deaf superhero at all in the MCU, no, that was Makkari from Eternals. Which says something about how much Eternals had an impact, I guess. :D
Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye was portrayed as a deaf super hero who uses a hearing aid in the Hawkeye miniseries. Maya Lopez is the first profoundly deaf superhero who started out as a supervillain. Every Marvel super hero has a disability that's what makes me like them more. They All have issues to overcome.
I love her and enjoyed Echo! I loved her grandmother in the show as well.
She’s so amazing… her acting is superb.. I hope we get lots of her in the future … indigenous love!
Alaqua is super dope…quite possibly the best person casted by marvel since Chadwick
I do hope more deaf people can get film roles. I really enjoy seeing Alaqua in this role
Eternals had a deaf hero that people are forgetting but agreed should have more with disabilities to inspire and love the cultures Marvel shows like Black Panther, Shang Chi and now Echo
You people have no idea do you, this is the reason disney is going bankrupt
@@babyspider99you’re such a loser lol
I have never been so proud of a person I have never met before! First of all, I LOVE Maya as a character. Seeing Alaqua so authentically portraying herself and Maya is AMAZING!!! She makes the disabled community very proud!!!!!!
I thought Ms. Cox had a dual disability. If she does she has an excellent prosthetic leg. Her deafness is genuine. I found myself rooting for Echo after she shot the Kingpin.
She really has a prosthetic leg lol
Yeah i think they didn't mention it bc Marvel already has an amputee superhero in Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier
@@raekarkoc928 Bucky Barnes has a prosthetic are that functions like a real arm. It was nice of Wakanda to free him from the conditioning that made him a killing machine for hydra.
Deaf member also in Eternals
Very Awasome fight Guys Very Awasome fight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🔥😘😘👍
She never acted before? WTF? This echo backstage story gets better and better.
She is gorgeous though
Why can't you put proper closed captions on your videos??
She is not the first native American acter you guys forgot West Study he is the first but she is the first female native American acter
She seems like a very sweet and beautiful lady ... the show Echo is garbage though
It's really incredible that this is her first role. The character is so guarded and complex. And she gives such a layered performance, it's a beautiful sight. Her smile as Maya is completely different from her smile as Alaqua. That's how in character she was.
Show is literally caca
1 BIG CONGRATS ON HAVING A BABY.2 YOU JUST WHATS MARVEL NEEDED.3 I HOPES THEY KEEP YOU AROUND THE MARVEL UNIVERSE PLAYING HER.
This show is canceled bone head, it almost didn't get aired it was so bad
Beautiful smile.
Echo was good till the end. Like many of marvels recent shows. But Al aqua did amazing.
What was wrong with the end?
She's fantastic
SHE'S SO CUTE
Not the 1st deaf. The 1st is Makkari
I'm so happy for Alaqua Cox! I remember an interview where she said she was working a job she wasn't happy with and then she got this opportunity! I'm so happy she landed this role and aced it! 🙌
I thank Marvel for taking care of the deaf and Dumb people 🇮🇶🇺🇲❤😢
Did she film Echo while she was pregnant? If yes, that is a feat in and of itself, given the amount of choreography in the show, never mind that she is an outstanding actor.
First time I watching alaqua in live.😊❤
So no closed captions?
I know right? absolutely ridiculous
It’s called clicking the CC button.
@@zeitgeistx5239 "Auto generated" is crap. You have a deaf performer but no closed captions. Take your douchey ableism elsewhere.
Beauty comes from the inside and she is beautiful and she is so positive 😊
I’m so happy for her. She’s absolutely amazing as Maya Lopez and I hope we see more of her in the future.
Whether people think echo is good or shit, her role and presence is absolutely important for everyone. Her presence shows other deaf kids as well as native kids that there is a place for all of them in this world. 🙂
“Representation…” All anyone cares about nowadays…
I just had to come here and see what she was like in real life. What an amazing actor
THATS CRAZY!!! Her first time acting!
And you can tell
This is true woman empowerment ❤ Love Marvel and kudos to cast director
Alaqua is amazing but don't forget her interpreter, she doesn't just say what Alaqua says, she even adds Alaqua's emotions.
I've seen many interviews and just love how her interpreter talks, you really feel Alaqua's emotions through her voice.
First deaf superhero? Didn't Eternals came before Hawkeye? Or are Eternals not superheroes so they can label it differently?
I love the show though! she plays it really well in my opinion.
She is so beautiful I can’t believe she just kind of happened into the role because it seems like she fit it perfectly!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had to look this real life actress up just to see if she actually smiles in real life & not serious for a change.
I wish her character was half as joyful as she was
Echo had a lot of baggage. She was determined to dethrone the Kingpin. As to how she did in the show. I won't say.
Awesome act 🎬 ❤❤❤❤
I loooove Ashley
Is there a reason she can't talk? She is only dead right?
Amazing
Alaqua Cox talks💀💀
Pretty sure she didnt talk
Show was stupid and had nothing to do with the real echo.
This is Bob in Connecticut. I am such a marvel nerd and this is a huge step forward for marvel.. yes it’s the biggest show right now. Bigger than anything on Hulu and Disney+.. well, I’m definitely now looking forward for the return of the punisher daredevil reborn. Yes Marvel is back. They never went away and don’t forget the X-Men are coming very soon..
is it just me or these hosts are assholes without even noticing, I think they should have realized that her interpreter is speaking for her and also signing to let her know what they are saying at the same time and so they should have taken it a bit slower than they would normally speak to someone who doesn't sign..that been said I thought she was great on the show and I wish her success in her career
they did take all that into account. it's in fact a lot easier for the interpreter when the speaker/signer talks at a normal pace as opposed to unnaturally slow. they weren't rude at all, and i'm positive they got briefed on how to use an interpreter before they got started if it was their first time
I thought she was mute
I was right
She is
She's not mute, she just doesn't use her voice to speak. Lots of deaf people use their voice to laugh, vocalize, etc, meaning they aren't mute. She isn't speaking here though, that's her interpreter
Garbage show worse acting. RIP MCU
Nope, great acting. JAAaaaaaaaaaaasson Derulo!!! (Te-Te-Tesher) Form Hollywood to Mohali, Tesher and Derulo - it's a worldwide party!
Critics are saying***
One of our favorite villains was undone by "girl power". The writing was terrible. I wish this girl the best, but the show was shit
The show is cheeks
I was wondering why her face looked a little chubbier than it did in Hawkeye
The headline did her dirty!
She didnt say shit!
She is amazing, the show is trash. But it's not her fault.
Nah Echo is so good
What part of the show is trash? Disney and Marvel did their homework to make the life of the modern day Chok taw as realistic as possible.
The show isn’t trash. Maybe it’s you.
Lol the show is so bad. Imagine waiting for marvel to adapt badass comic book characters and they do an entire show on this awful, boring piece of junk. Lmao!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
i have nothing against cox but she does not look the part. a action character who supposed to be a skilled fighter must be lean and athletic . cox looks like she cannot pass a standard army fitness test.
A mistake. Marvel shouldn’t be for adults
you clearly havent seen how much they curse in marvel projects
Clearly never read a graphic novel or a comic.
Then you’re gonna just love deadpool 😂😂😂😂😂
I was wondering where the hater was in all this positivity and love 😂
I think the most Disney and Marvel do is pg13. I saw nothing erotic in Echo. I like the content aimed at adult audiences. I liked Disney since I was 4 60 years ago.
Too bad the show was absolute trash 💩
Yup 😅
That opinion is not shared in this discussion.
@@WadeTaylor-e1x it’s a free country, I can say what I want.
@@Yousuckdeeznuts Exactly and I'm free to call out yours. That Marvel and Disney found a talented indigenous and deaf actress to portray Echo shows their willingness to err on the side of reality. The Echo from Marvel comics could sing and speak without revealing to anyone she was profoundly deaf. She was proud of her indigenous heritage. Ms. Cox is an indigenous American as well. I don't care why you think her work is trash, however I would like to hear your reasoning on why the mini series is no good. As I have two full Cherokee great great great grandmothers I really want to know. I never had the chance to meet them however I inherited their ability to walk while making less noise than the wind around me.
@@WadeTaylor-e1x
Well good on your Native American heritage.
I too have native blood in me, Aztec and Mayan and my grandma still speaks her native dialect.
It’s just a character no one cares about ?
She could’ve been great if she was playing a character people actually cared about.
Marvel and Disney ruined this and they clearly did it for agenda. And let’s be real marvel an Disney don’t give two shits about race or ethnicity.
