In the end, Maya did not use Fisk's own language--violence and power--to defeat him, but her family's langauge--compassion and healing--and they filmed it like it was the most brutal beatdown. He shrugged off a literal explosion in Hawkeye, but Echo effortly implodes him because she knows his weak spot is his heart. She grows stronger the more she embraces the love of a family who actually cares about her and rejects the toxic family that Fisk creates out of an inability to form actual bonds. And of course, she heals herself, finally tears down the walls, and lets her family in. If you haven't seen Cloak and Dagger, it has similar vibes. The theme of family dynamics is omnipresent. It delves deeply into New Orleans culture and makes it part of the story. But bring your tissues, because there are some legitimate sad scenes that even the most narratively fluent may not seem coming. Good way to test your superpower.
