For better or worse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe caters its films and series for an all-ages audience, straddling the line between stories appropriate for children and engaging for adults. When Marvel Television partnered with Netflix, one distinction those series made from the MCU was crafting the shows for adults. When Maya Lopez was introduced in the family-friendly Hawkeye, fans may have expected her solo series to stick to the Marvel Studios playbook. Yet, the reason why Echo is rated TV-MA is because Maya Lopez’s solo story isn’t for kids.In the opening moments of Echo, there is some implied nudity in the scene depicting the Choctaw Nation’s creation myth. The original Choctaw people, who crawled through a cave to their new world are covered in an Earthy skin. When they transition to looking more human, it comes complete with clothing. While Netflix series like Jessica Jones and Luke Cage included not-safe-for-primetime sex scenes, their TV-MA rating made sense. American audiences are a lot less comfortable with depictions of sex than violence. However, there isn’t any romance or nudity, involved in Echo. Instead, Echo earns its TV-MA rating for two specific reasons: the bloody, mortal violence and the fact that Maya Lopez is a villain, at least by comic book standards. While nowhere near as evil as popular antiheroes like Tony Soprano or Walter White, Maya’s quest is one of revenge and personal gain.Midway through the series, Maya’s war against her surrogate “Uncle” brings the full weight of Kingpin’s forces down on her. A character named Vicky betrays Maya and her Uncle Henry, for whom he worked for years. He does this to get a payday from Kingpin’s thugs. Instead, he’s beaten brutally and dies choking on his own blood, as it pours down his face. It’s likely the bloodiest scene Marvel Studios ever produced, and rivals the blood-soaked final battle between Daredevil and Kingpin in the Netflix series’ final season.
