    I don't have an Instagram account, but I was able to see the picture at the link. Are others unable to do so? Why would that be?

    Depends. I have that issue on my phone if I'm viewing something on in-app browser that links to an Instagram post but doesn't jump to my Instagram app and I don't have the log-in info in that app (if that makes sense).

    Might also be a regional thing.

    I am 100% there for more Jessica and Luke. None of the Disney+ shows have lived up to their Netflix shows in my opinion. Well, maybe Moon Knight.

    If we do get to meet Luke and Jessica again, I hope it's as a married couple raising a young daughter. After all, it's been about 8 years in-universe since we've seen these two characters. At this point it's far too much to ask for that we see an actual resolution to Luke's cliffhangers, but those threads can be tied up with a little bit of dialogue.

    Beh, the Netflix shows all went for that gutless "Grounded" aesthetic. None really could match WandaVision in terms of creativity.

    I disagree with the notion that being grounded is gutless or uncreative. If anything, I think it made the stories compelling for a different reason. Seasons one of Daredevil, Luke Cage, and especially Jessica Jones greatly demonstrate that.

    But above all else, I disagree with the implied notion that it's not possible to love both grounded and cosmically crazy series as valid storytelling methods at the same time. Note: That's a critique not just these couple of posts, but also in general ever since the Disney+ shows has been going full steam.

    Not sure if there's enough episodes, but obviously Kingpin (hoping it's the same actor from Hawkeye) could & should be in both Echo & Daredevil.

    Also hoping for some crossover action between those 2 shows with as much as there was in the comics.

    For me whether I like the grounded approach is all about the characters, some characters it works better for than others, and the Netflix characters were perfect or that kind of approach.

    Charlie Cox and Vincent D'onofrio have officially crossed into the MCU with "Hawkeye" and "No Way Home". It's a lock that Vincent D'onofrio will continue playing Kingpin.

    No, but there was reference to the Hawkeye show.

    I'm curious how this will address the Netflix series. I'm thinking this is probably going to be at about the same content level as the other shows and movies, so I wonder how closely they're going want to tie it into the more adult Netflix series.

    No.

    Charlie Cox was in "No Way Home" which solidified that the Daredevil series was 100% in the MCU

    D'onofrio's Kingpin from the netflix Daredevil series. interacted with MCU's "Hawkeye" series

    One doesn't automatically lead to the other.
