Echo Review - I'd Rather Be Scalped 

this show is insulting to native americans.

" " 😂😂😂

Cheeky 😝

Oh Disparu, mein kliener Britisher liebshen, but didn’t you just ‘Feel’ all the native empowerment flowing through you?!? Now all psychopathic, deaf, female, indigenous American, amputees with a face like a slapped arse, assassins everywhere are represented! DIVERSITY!!! 🎉😂

I was waiting for you to roast this turd!!

Better writing Better actors

Yup..a quiet place took a little while to get used to...I'm glad I knew nothing about a quiet place before watching.

@@toolegittoquit_001 And a better Pro-Family message

Plus the mother stepped on a nail, essentially losing the use of her right foot. That would check that box too! Right…Right???

@@randya3423 I would say yes

Actually....Required every sunday for Sunday Dinners along with any time of day or night when Kingpin happens to need to speak to Echo. And then when he no longer needs the interpreter he decides to just have her shot!

And we're talking about a character who learned languages just so nobody would say things in his presence that he wouldn't understand.

I love the part where Kingpin had her shot for no explicable reason. It kind of seemed like he always kept a sign interpreter around him, like maybe she doubles taking minutes at mafia boss meetings or something, but no, she just had that one job of interpreting Echo for 5 minutes a couple of times per year. But he said he killed her to keep their conversations private, even though he always has 10 bodyguards whenever he's talking to Echo. Does he screen them to make sure they don't know ASL? I guess the eyepiece was supposed to fix that maybe? But then he still had to talk to make the Microsoft Clippy interpreter work. It's so dumb it hurts my brain trying to make it make sense.

Lol "Must be evil" 😂😂😂

What’s actually crazy is that Vincent D’onofrio (Kingpin) knows at least basic ASL. He’s used sign language in earlier roles and I think someone in his personal life is deaf. So why have the interpreter at all? I know for a fact that man can sign.

Daredevil's powers and her deafness means he has an unbeatable advantage if he knocks out the lights. In the comics she has photographic reflexes like the Taskmaster to explain her fighting ability. That's also why she's called "Echo": she can repeat exactly any movement she sees another person make.

I am enrolled Native American myself in Oklahoma. I disagree! I like that Disney actually contacted the tribal nation and Choctaw Nation had a say on how the Choctaw people were being portrayed. I am not sure if you can speak for all Natives!

@@cshopwytuck6730Wouldn’t you be attempting to speak for all natives by your own logic? In the end, you’re both saying the same things. They think it’s a slap in the face for their reasons and you think it’s an honor for yours. The truth is somewhere between

@@SirSealandLister I am not speaking for all natives, but I am merely stating in my own opinion and my own experience of growing up in the Choctaw area around the Choctaw Nation people. It is important to note that the Choctaw Nation people were actually consulted directly about this series.

@@cshopwytuck6730 No one can speak for all natives, neither you nor I, but they pulled yet another stereotypical portrayal here and it's fucking obnoxious. It's half of why this show is such garbage. It doesn't matter that they contacted the Choctaw... they still took tremendous "artistic license" with the people and their portrayal. They need to leave all of us the fuck alone and go ruin someone else's culture with their current-day politicizing... or maybe just stick to their fucking mouse cartoons.

yeah, I think they either don't care to make an effort or they are useless. You can definitely use deafnes to make a movie more interesting, but you need to know how. It's like they are using the same template for each of their movies and it's not working.

The girl in that was a better actress too.

There's an episode in Batman Beyond with the sound technician that had a specialized suit that could isolate individual soundwaves.

A Quiet Place and CODA handle deafness in entertainment very well. Fucking butchered in Echo. I grew up with a deaf parent and I genuinely believed the actress for Echo wasn't deaf, because not a single deaf person acts the way she does. They are the most emotive human beings on the fucking planet, because they have to be.

Beware, oh actors who sign up for roles of characters that die (or get mutilated)...

What's next coma actors played by coma patient's

And real dead people can only play dead people

It's hard to believe this is the same reality that actresses like MARLEE MATLIN exists, I hate that these weirdos keep acting like they're the first to do everything 😡

Disney : we still havent found a wooden african trans boy to play pinnocio yet

yes, is that a problem?

Yes​@@above.average.gaming.natio3026

Because she has all her family inside her. So she is basically Rey. Therefore whamen powah!

because shes deaf and missing a foot

how dare you cast doubt against indigenous , deaf, one legged menstruating person! go into corner and say the mantra of what isms you have caused and repent!! [body positive sarcasm of course]

Should be made into a looping flow chart.

Did we mention that she’s a woman? Female , too!

Daredevil is blind and kingpin is muscular obese. Truly a show about a handicapped superhero with a villainous counterpart and both done right.

That told me everything long ago, when they avoided the story at every turn and ONLY talked about the actress who is disabled you know the story was not good. Then I found out that it was, originally, 8 episodes and was almost cancelled because it was a mess and only came out after being chopped up and turned into five BECAUSE they made such a big deal about the actress.

“What is the story about?” “Story? Do we *REALLY* need one of those? Why?”

I thought of her too. Her performances never dragged down a show.

One thing I’ve noticed is how very much Hollywood loves stereotypical, lazy “representation” seemingly now more than ever, but have the audacity to feel morally superior for it. I remember seeing a video about blue beetle on nerdrotic’s second channel where he and FNT talked about the over-the-top stereotypical attitude of that movie, _and the comments chewed them out for racism with more racism._ The movie writers made the specific choice to write in a Tacoma for the dad so they could make a taco joke about Mexicans, but it’s apparently more racist to point that out than it is to make that lazy, overdone joke in the first place. The difference? It was a panel of mostly white guys (not even all of them, which makes the following claim even more ridiculous), which makes it inherently racist, because how would they know? It’s not like human sense can tell when a race joke is just a lazy stereotype. These people (both Hollywood writers and their white knights) are some of the dumbest pondscum I’ve ever had the great displeasure of encountering.

I'm a Native American writer. Hollywood elite who practice Neo-Communism are recruiting members of my race to help them repress me and my books/scripts.

I have heard that before, I wonder why there isn’t more backlash

You need to stop being a bigot and consume product.

@@Zennsunni Do you think the media would cover it if there was?

The next person to play Hannibal is gonna actually be a sadistic serial killing cannibal. Also, the next Wolverine is gonna be an actual wolverine since people with metal claws in their hands isn’t realistic or authentic.

@@chazzitz-wh4lyThrowing Disney producers in a pit filled with real Wolverines could actually be successful … just saying.

But they didn't recast Daredevil to be an actual blind man playing him.

@3:45 Disparu goes there- "She doesn't HEAR about opportunities like that every day"

the pay per view would be amazing @@davidgantenbein9362

I thought they were offering up a new version of Charlie's Angles....

They are going for allowing the "useful idiots" (Social Justice Warriors) to help create division using Cultural Marxist ideologies to make people hate "progressive" Liberals and their ideologies. Good old reverse psychology still works as intended. So to answer your question: Yes, that is *exactly* what they are going for. Disney, partially owned by BlackRock (as are most Liberal run corporations) is controlled opposition helping turn people towards Conservative ideologies as the solution to the current woke (Communist) institution in media, academia, entertainment, corporations and politics. You'll understand after November when DJT is reinstalled and promises to restore the nation back to God and our former glory by enforcing religious laws derived from the Talmud and were made US Public Law in 1991.

Not just unlikeable but dislikable. Most of these women are just bitches. This one's bland and lop sided.

Has to be. They're professionals after all. Deaf and blind representing professionals right?

Is Phase 4 trying to get men to hate women? They're doing a good job so far...

I only saw 1 episode because of my job, but my mom loved it, i think from what i saw i would have liked it too. Should i do a little 'sailing' for it?

@@stevenscott2718 I remember enjoying it, but that may have been because it was an English language program that got picked up on Japanese TV and shown in Engllsh. I don't remember much about it. I remember that Deanne Bray was good, although her character was perhaps a bit Mary Sueish, and that I didn't hate it.

Oh they'll do it. It won't make sense but they'll do it all the same.

Look up the old king fu movie "crippled masters"

Ooooh... I came up with a perfect ending for this episode. Rogue shows up as both Echo and Daredevil are losing against some bully kids from middle school. Rogue chases the kids away and steals the powers from Echo and Daredevil. Both Daredevil and Echo can both see and hear. They see Rogue and try to help her because she is now blind and deaf... Both Echo and Daredevil grab Rouge to help her to her feet. Upon doing so, Rogue drains both of them to lifelessness.

Hear no evil see no evil with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor back in the 80s...and a much better movie.

There was a movie with the same basic premise in the 1980s called _Hear No Evil, See No Evil_ starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, minus the martial arts of course.

The washed brains are amazing these days - many girls coming out of college these days LEGITIMATELY believe men have NO EMOTIONS.

So, like, Rey Palpatine. And Scarlet Witch. And Galadriel. And the myriad of copy pasta female leads we have been getting for years

She comes off more like a rabid dog.

@@chazzitz-wh4lyI’m sorry but Scarlet Witch was actually quite expressive about her emotions and genuinely complex as a character. . .until they butchered her at the end of her show & the multiverse of madness.

Why did you take this comment from Drinker's video and paste it here?

plus the actress put loads of expression and into her character and her interpreter got to deliver some lines that were killer jokes when spoken by him, but coming from Joey

That was Marlee Matlin. I bet she reminisces about the era where she was the only deaf actress in Hollywood and everyone would call if they needed a deaf person who could also speak a little.

Yeah... but... it doesn't push the victim narrative.

Score another for West Wing.

@@gregutz4284 yeah. Such a great show 😎

Yeah, now imagine that same amputee being a superhero or assassin engaging in hand to hand combat.

Yep they’d need something like Gazelle in Kingsman. The curved running prosthetics.

Teaming up with her would be so infuriating when trying to work together and you have to stop mid-fight every time just to give her some finger waving and hoping the villains give you enough time to do it properly.

I could see deadpool doing that

You’ll just have to tell your wife that her heritage wasn’t considered picturesque enough for Disney to portray on screen.

Well Indians are magic right? they got it from that Vishnu god of theirs. believe I read it somewhere.

That has a lot to do with how well they get trained in younger age and how willing they are to learn speaking. I knew a deaf person who was terrible at speaking, but I was told back then that our healthcare system by then would make sure that they are trained better. Given what I was told, there are methods that usually work pretty well, but older deaf people simply had no access to those. What I was told back then was that it was a major goal to teach nearly all of them how to speak as it helps tremendously in life. Given we have public healthcare in my country, different system to the British, but they also have it, this may just be a difference in available care in her youth. I haven’t watched the show, but if her capabilities are anywhere near the guy I knew, singing is completely out of the question.

​@@davidgantenbein9362the contestant on Bake Off was young as is this 'actress'. Argument doesn't wash.

6:53 Echo's actor is mostly-illiterate in English. :( (Or ASL)

Wait, deaf people are generally rare as it is. If she left 20 years ago, what reason would her neighbor have to remember sign language _to the point of fluency?_ Is there just a compound nearby exclusively for deaf people, hence why everyone living there _needs to learn?_

​@@auraguard0212 Can't tell if you're joking or not. And it is profoundly disturbing to me how plausible that scenario is.

in the comics kingpin survives but is fully blinded instead of being patchy the pirate lol

Star Wars is also Disney…

@@ab-gail Well, that was a mind-flatulence on my part... it should have been Marvel. D:

Or like the character of Echo in the comics. I don't know why this show is called "Echo" because the comic book version and the MCU versions are so different.

Nah, the reason is simple - they were filming in Georgia for tax breaks/contractual obligations and the Blackfeet tribe is up in Montana. Georgia doesn't look like Montana - the crew said in interviews that they struggled to get Oklahoma-ish shots for the Choctaw changeover. It's just a money thing.

@@fruitbats77 Thank you.

@@kingagrabowska9366 Just wish they wouldn't lie about it - they did essentially throw the Blackfeet tribe under the bus (in the comic she's Cheyenne which has some crossover with Blackfeet) by saying their imagery was muddled and confusing. LOL, come on...

@@fruitbats77indigenous American representation was just so gosh darn important to them that they changed her tribe of origin, and then put down her original tribe for being too boring. Also, the character herself was so important for how diverse she was that they completely changed her powers to be more stereotypical and racist in both tone and execution, rather than keeping the intriguing ones she had originally that had nothing to do with her race (like most white characters always have had, incidentally. Apparently all non-whites are capable only of being either cardboard cutouts of their race, or cheap copies of whites a la iron heart and the original miles morales).

The Blackfeet were fighters...unlike the Choktaw

Equal footing...

There is a reason Punisher is still talked about after half a decade, and why this will be forgotten by February.

Hey, that's true. I actually forgot about Amaya.

In the world nowadays normal people are discriminated against because they're not victim enough to get votes for. "Their finding people that's willing to victimized themselves, and they can use them as permanent voters." - Gothix. All of what's happening is an overton window.

This show was jot made for me because I am male, not Choctaw, not an amputee , not deaf, and also not stupid.

Almost makes me want to add some merit badges to their "oppression" sash...

Yup.

@jamesstewart8376...makes you wonder how an accident of birth makes you privileged? Has anybody figured out yet that not everybody was born in a filthy rich elitist white family.

@@above.average.gaming.natio3026 It’s good of you to announce yourself.

@@above.average.gaming.natio3026 Bruh stop simping for the main actor. 😂

They can still feel vibrations and whatnot from sound.

@@retsaMinnavoiG She can feel vibrations...while on a motorcycle? How?

@@retsaMinnavoiG Like the other guy said, how the fuck do you feel a horn honk while on a damned motorcycle? Yes, deaf people _can_ feel the vibrations from sound. *Anyone with a sense of feeling can.* You'd think that after all these years, I'd get used to all the half-wits on the Internet.

Good eye.

@@retsaMinnavoiG As has been pointed out, there's no way someone with anything remotely near normal human senses is feeling that over the vibrations of a motorcycle they're driving. Now, if she had some sort of Daredevil-esque powers that enhanced her other senses, fine, I could grudgingly accept that as an explanation, but from my understanding there's been no indication that she does, so.

Water towers act as a reservoir, for when demand exceeds supply for a short time... such as 5-7am, when everyone in town are trying to take showers/baths. When demand drops off (everyone leaves to go to work) they start filling up again.

​@@nyetzdyec3391You're both right. They act as reservoirs that don't require pumping stations.

@@BiggieTrismegistus Yep... and the OP was also right about them being "popular" to be used as cell-phone network towers, AND as places to install storm sirens to alert local citizens of things like tornadoes, etc. In some places, they do a daily function test on those sirens at noon.

I know all about Star wars, Marvel, Doctor Who etc and haven't watched ANY of them. Every single bit of knowledge I have comes from reviews mocking them for a decade now ^-^

Yeah, you get to save your money and time and actually have fun

I haven't watched an episode of Rings of Power, She Hulk, Velma, Willow, Robyn in the Hood etc but I know all about them from laughing at the reviews taking the piss out of them. 😂

That's not a high bar too clear.

I agree.

The windshield on the front is laminated to prevent any real fracturing. The glasses on the sides of the car are built to crumble into harmless pieces. It should be impossible to create a piece of glass like that in a car accident. And what’s even worse: a ton of Hollywood films showed us laminated windshields, so it’s not even a „but in Hollywood“ thing like exploding cars. What I don’t understand is that in many car accidents people do get stuck and need to be freed by cutting them out. Limbs can absolutely be harmed by such an accident and it’s not uncommon to lose one. It’s just not the windshield cutting it off. So why go for such a bad version, when basically most decent writers should know better? … but then again, the other car only has lights on seconds before impact, so „realism“ wasn’t a big part of the scene and the explanation was probably „a wizard did it“.

@@davidgantenbein9362 the showrunners can't be bothered to properly choreograph a fight scene even in slow motion so it follows that they couldn't be bothered to look up how cars work.

Also, considering the amount of blood vessels in your legs, wouldn't she have BLED out from something that could sever her leg like that?

I dunno. If he were to write off someone from a Reservation as just "an American from some dump in America," he'd get his ear chewed off.

​@SirBlackReeds are they animals ? Ear chewed off *. And are they not American ? Whsts do fucking special about Indians. ? I'm not called thrm native. Because they aren't. They don't evolve in America thry migrated like everyone else . Not that special. They are not the only tribal people in the world. How many movies , shows and books ? Over represented is more accurate. . Anyone is free to try biting my ear . Best of luck to them they will need it

Idk, it’s different when you’re talking about Americans, since we’re a melting pot of all kinds of races. It’s not exactly the polite or accepted thing to do to boil all indigenous American tribes into even the same people, let alone “just Americans”. It doesn’t at all delineate that Americans are, in fact, made of vastly different and innumerable groups of people. You wouldn’t exactly say the Irish, Scottish, welsh, and English are all the same people because they’re all from the UK; you certainly wouldn’t call the British and French the same. They’re both European people groups, yes, but they’re still very different and very proud of that fact. It’s much more pronounced in America. It’s more ridiculous to claim you’re so special for representing someone from a specific area in a nation that has a specific ethnicity or set of ethnicities that comprise it, than it is to take a member of a small ethnicity in a vast nation made of peoples from all over the globe. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still really dumb to act as if it’s some awesome and historic thing, but a Choctaw in America is not the same as a welsh guy from Newport to the rest of the UK.

@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBroit's not impolite and I don't care what some people think is acceptable. They don't care what a find acceptable or not .and say and do thinks I don't find acceptable. The point about American . If its a melting pot then they are just American. Adding African or native. Is just divisive. And plenty of black people will get angry and say I'm nit African American I'm American. . England is more divisive than America in msny ways . London is the most diverse city in the world. They have people from everywhere. And Scotland and Wales as well . Of you were talking about Scotland or Wales then you can mske clan or location distinctions. But they are still Scottish or Welsh. Ireland or Northern Ireland. Still Irish. We were talking about a reservation not the melting pot of the United States. The reservation is not a melting pot is it ? No . I was just reading a comment from a someone born on reservation. Who served in the us military and was honourably discharged after becoming partially deaf during his service. And he was disgusted by this show . And this representation stuff .( this comment section) . People in Wales Scotland England Ireland. Make a sport of insulting each other or purity testing. In Ireland they have jokes based which county someone is from . But America is nit thst different interstate football or sports

@@shanenolan5625dude, you just said yourself that people still make clan distinctions in places like Scotland. If things are so much more divisive over there than they are here, then you should understand just why and how it’s not really an accurate statement to call all of those people groups the same. I never told you that you have to care about how people feel about these things, my comment is that it’s not an accurate statement to say all Americans are exactly the same _because it’s a melting pot!_ Look, it’s not my fault if you don’t have basic reading comprehension, but at very least I’d expect a slight understanding that black Americans, Asian Americans, and indigenous Americans aren’t the same. Yes, we’re all Americans, but we’re still different. I agree that viewing yourself as your ethnicity before your nationality is divisive, but ethnicity still affects culture.

And Native Americans.

They think that everyone is hive minded like them. Imagine thinking there's an "amputee community"

Not a chance ...

EXACTLY! Especially if the “representation” is just pandering and doesn’t serve the narrative in any way.

By 2025 there will be newer and more debauched forms of representation. Hollywood will never improve.

Hahahahaha! I’m not laughing disparagingly-I’m laughing tragically 🥲

In 2025, I think big studios will be more concerned with Blackrock pulling their funding after they've already destroyed their own means of making profit. Unless you mean new, currently small studios that are quickly replacing Hollywood.

Touché 🤣

Were they good and logical storytellers they wouldn't write crappy stuff. Also, what's with american natives having all these cool ancestor powers? What about, dunno, a man from Ukraine channeling the powers of his bogatyr - alan - scythian ancestors?

@@dariovirga7711 Presumably said powers would only work in Ukraine, since that's where those ancestors were. Unfortunately all shows are set in America, so he's shit out of luck.

@@petrie911 I don't see how. If he's channeling the ancestors through himself and carries on their bloodline then it's reasonable to presume that he can access his powers anywhere.

@@dariovirga7711 True, and anyone with the ability to assimilate that blood would be able to tap into the same powers, depending on what the "Ancestors" allow or or not (from a storytelling perspective). If you work through a "sacred blood" angle, you might need to be able to figure out how exactly that is going to work since blood types are a thing, and if you are going the "Ancestors granted it" angle, you might need to explain WHY the ancestors allowed it (like is there an Ancestor that allowed a villain to use those powers since it advances an agenda of his or her own - like the Mortal Kombat movie and their gods, or because it's a lost tribesman or tribeswoman or lost family with a hidden agenda of their own, like in The Covenant)

Windshields are laminated glass so they _don't_ shatter into tiny pieces. It's the rest of the windows that are tempered.

Apparently that was lame, so they made up the stuff with the ancestors instead.

Apparently, they changed her superpowers to be channeling the strength of her ancestors. So no echoing other people's powers.

I thought copying other people's fighting style was Taskmasters thing.

​@@Bigblue3000It is. They have the same powers.

The black screen as Daredevil representation! I'm crying. I've watched this twice(by accident)and I'm still lol!

Did the same thing with She-Hulk. Comics Shulk is funny, loving, a party animal, strong, smart, sexy and not ashamed of it. MCU Shulk is so not comics Shulk that I wonder if she is supposed to be a different character entirely.

The psy-op will continue until the peasants submit.

The term I believe you're looking for is the Mierdas Touch. ;)

Deanne Bray. Great actress. Her deafness has not once held back her or any show she's in. Apparently she can also sign in American and in British sign language

Reasonable Doubts starring Marlee Matlin is another good one.

@@Atanalcar Yeah, she's great. her husband is also in Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye, he's also deaf and at least in the show he didn't talk but he emoted very well.

Yes, but their criticism of that show would be that the main character wasn't a POC, regardless of whether it starred a female lead or an actual deaf person. That's how they play this game.

@@sigmacademy I'm sorry, what?

Didn't Domino already appear in Deadpool 2?

Obligatory Shoko is best girl.

I thought it was dual ballet

It was also the Portuguese who helped Japan to create Romaji (ie, Japanese written with our alphabet) 😊

You either train the actress or use stunt doubles, but in a good production you do both and use cuts to get better footage. … but given the choreography is already bad, I doubt that we saw the money spent on the series in those fights.

I don’t think it’s cool to call the actress chubby by any means. She’s actually pretty well built imo, she just doesn’t look like echo all that much

WTF you smoking? She's got a round face because of genetics but she's otherwise fairly trim and athletic. I don't think it's a good show or anything but she's deaf and you must be blind.

Lol!

If I had a penny for every deaf and amputee Native American Menominee female actor, I'd have one penny.

how can you tell? we haven't seen her do any acting yet....

She is not really an actor though.

Yep this kind of scares me if there are some who see Hollywood fighting as even close to real. Like in a real fight one blow to your head from someone heavier then you and it's practically over. If you're lucky you might get off with a light concussion. There is a reason why there are weight divisions in all sporting fighting. Now for story telling purposes it's easy to ignore the reality of that with magical powers and so on. But I wish they showed actual struggle and the MC getting injured, make them have to retreat from some fights. How many trained fighters do you see beating up gangs? Not many if any. The single fighter usually gets bonked on the back of the head or some stray hit gets them down.

Any even halfway competent self-defence instructor tells every woman attending their class that the only chance of her defending herself from a man attacking her, unless she has a can of pepper spray or a tazer immediately to hand, is to run as fast as she can towards other people and hope like hell they'll intervene. And even then, unless the guy is _seriously_ out of shape (and she's an Olympic track World Record holder), he will accelerate far quicker than her, have a much higher top speed than her and be able to run significantly further than her without tiring so she better hope those bystanders are _really_ close. The only thing standing her ground will do is make her an easy target, no matter how many fancy holds and throws she's been taught. Even women who are masters at martial arts will struggle (and usually fail) to hold or throw a man who doesn't want to be held or thrown.

@@martindixon54 u know- i imagined the running scene with the modern healthy at any tonnage..... but the fight- there was a champion martial artist (high tear, might be karate or taekwondo) and she got Surprise-paired vs a trans. she was shocked wtf is wrong- untackleable and way too strong and tough. just barely won by a smidgen- and she was of higher tier and very experienced.

Best part of the media cycle. Gary's joke has gone out into the world, and lives rent-free in the heads of everyone at Marvel Studios! 😂

Yip, most armour/costumes of heroes/villains is to disguise your identity to protect your loved ones. But nope every “ethnic” hero/villain as got to go out their way to show who they are and where from.

Did you see the kind of stuff Hollywood filled blue beetle with? That’s absolutely their favorite method, just unending and rather condescending stereotypes.

What did you think was the main purpose of changing her tribe from the comic to the series?

@@davidgantenbein9362 they said something stupid like, we checked out the supposed tribe but we felt it gave off the wrong connotations. I’m guessing they didn’t like some of the stuff that didn’t fit their narratives. I should look up each tribes creation stories and that’s probably where some of the issues stem from.

@@Docktavion It’s what I‘m thinking, despite the „representation is most important“, they immediately switch out anything they don’t like for stereotypes, because they absolutely don’t care about representation as in who those people are, just in how many brownie points it gives on x-itter.

I'm not fluent, in fact, I only know a few dozen words and the alphabet (kind of) and numbers. But I've worked with deaf people. And, as I've heard, when ASL was created, it sort of threw the language out of whack, because different regions had different 'accents'. Anyways, it was distinguished for me that "okay" is with your pointer finger and thumb make a circle, whereas "F" has the pointer finger and thumb make a teardrop shape (like squeezing the last digits of the fingers). And "9" seems only different by how the other fingers are curled, while making the circle. Really, context helps out a lot. But watching two ppl sign, and having learned the super basics years before, there were still discrepancies. Our "G" was different (basically a sideways "Q", but I learned it without using the thumb). Other letters were just oriented slightly differently.

@@rogelioortiz3003 I will concede it's possible that different dialects may have included the okay hand signal is also their ASL for OK, I've just never encountered it from an ASL speaker or teacher. I'm not certain the distinction for the precise shape of the letter F, the number 9, and the ok hand signal is particularly useful, however, because fingerspelling is fundamentally fast and dirty. If you're making the shape of the series of letters for a word you're spelling looks like the word you're spelling, people will understand. If you've ever seen someone who needs ASL sign the word "bus" the letter U almost doesn't exist, it just looks like they're going from the letter B to the closed fist of the S, from pinkie to index. I will agree with you, it is the context that makes the language work so loosely, however. It's possible this is why you've noticed discrepancies in the fingerspelling of different letters, too, based on your experience with signers. As an example, I could tell she is signing "OK," yet the tip of her thumb is not appearing between her two main fingers of the sign for K... is that technically correct, or a different dialect? Or is it possible she's just signing fast, and I could tell what she meant? And I couldn't even see the letter O she signed, was it perfectly round, or teardrop shaped? Doesn't matter, is the answer. I do however, think that the script appears to have been translated by someone who has declared themselves to be capable of looking up words for each word of every line that requires an ASL translation and probably doesn't understand what they're doing, fundamentally. Otherwise, so many basic mistakes would not have been made, such as the "we look the same" line.

Same. It’s too jarring to NOT get your attention haha.
