Приколы
The interpreter is fantastic. Loved how they were able to communicate the excitement and emotion of Alaqua
Let's just hope she gets better treatment than from Fisk 😅 iykyk
@@korosekillsyo I get it cuz… kingpin ya know…. ☠️…. That was harsh 😂
Loved how *she. Come on.
@@korosekills Jimmy Fallon to the interpreter after the interview: You're dismissed.
@@TheGingiGamer no one cares
How nice of Jimmy to actually learn how to welcome Alaqua in ASL. That shows dedication and empathy.
Dont you mean ASL?
ALS is a disease
@@MrFalcon2009 it was stand for the American Sign hand gestures language
I think you mean ASL. ALS is something VERY different 💀
No, it means he did a three minute Google search to look good in front of other hearing people. I hope he actually tries to learn ASL in the future but all this comes across is as a cheap party trick.
I like that they went the extra step of making the segment fully accessible.
Along with translate voice background women's too was good views ever.
I love the actress and the fact that he had less of a chance to step on her interview by interrupting like he often does.
@@jatilqYES, was thinking it’s hilarious that Jimmy has to actually act authentic
I am happy the accessibility is being done, but it should just be a staple across the board for not just talent on stage, but disabled people tuning into these shows.
@@comicsauniversalalliance8669 It used to be a lot more common prior to closed captioning. Not nearly enough, mind you, but it was much more common then.
Can we just acknowledge what a phenomenal job the interpreter did during the interview?👏👏👏
I don't know this for sure, I'm hoping that she's worked with Alaqua and have a unique chemistry to convey emotion like she did.
@@bsquinneydeaf actors tend to have their own personal interpreters
There was a recent Queer Eye episode with a Deaf hero (Denton Mallas), and I saw a video of him today on his Instagram where he talked about the decision not to show the interpreters in that episode. Part of it was that people always tend to focus on and celebrate the interpreters, taking focus away from the person they're interpreting for. I have a ton of respect for interpreters (it's a tough job!), but 5 of the top 10 comments on this video are about how great the interpreter was. I'm now seeing Denton's point really clearly. The Tonight Show didn't focus the camera on the interpreter, didn't really acknowledge her at all beyond showing her doing her job, but she still got half the attention. She's not doing a performance here; her job is to provide communication access. It's understandable that hearing people tend to focus on the interpreter, the person who shares our native language, but ideally, all of this focus would be on Alaqua instead.
@@hopewilson7918 Valuable insight. Thank you for sharing this perspective. And Alaqua Cox is a badass beauty, to be sure!
I’m a Choctaw and they worked so closely with the tribe to get our culture and even origin story right it was amazing to see.
It was so cool to see and gripping! I'd love to learn more about your culture after seeing the show and hope it gets another season
That was really cool. I was a little worried when I read they had changed Maya (who is half Cheyenne in the comics) to Choctaw. Not because I minded the change but because I was not sure they were going to do a lot of research and do the culture justice but they really did do their homework.
I'm a sucker for Native American culture so I was ecstatic to learn about that fact as well. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy in my tumtum.
That's awesome. If only they hadn't wasted that effort by making a terrible show. I was hoping this would've been better.
@@rjones6080 I'm genuinely curious, what was it that you didn't like? I thought it was a sweet story about legacy/heritage and empowerment through hardship. I haven't kept up with marvel since infinity war so might be missing something
I love that Jimmy was forced to slow down and not interrupt during this interview. It was great to have Alaqua and her interpreter get out everything she wanted to say. And thank you for putting the interpreter onscreen when Jimmy was talking.
agreed! One of my least favorite things about Jimmy is he tends to cut off his guest and I would like to hear them talk. I know he has limited time and stuff, but its kinda off putting for me so I loved that he didn't here.
It’s the main issue with a “live” format show, graham norton feels like the best chat show mainly because graham knows the show is not about him, but also because the show films long and is then edited down. I went to a filming once and the interview portion was about an hour longer then what was seen on tv. These live formats are not edited so the presenter has to make sure everything stays on time.
This interpreter killeddd this. The quickness and ability to convey her emotion. I feel like I’m actually listening to Alaqua
That interpreter is amazing....Like she's signing and talking at the same time and is interjecting in almost near real time like as if Alaqua was actually talking herself. And it's so cool how she is able to portray emotions on both sides. I really felt like I was hearing Alaqua's voice.
@Pauly, ASL interpreter educator here and YES, she is pretty amazing and so glad to see some who aren't interpreters able to see that she's doing such a great job. She likely has most of what Alaqua memorized since they ask the same questions during every interview so she is probably just ready knowing what her answer will be. That is unlike when we are extemporaneously interpreting for someone for a one-time interaction.
Yeah and she sounds like I would assume the actress sounds. I like when interpreters sound like how I perceive the person sounds. I acknowledge it’s dumb and petty, but it makes immersing myself into the conversation easier.
Yes 100% to sound or look like a native-language user is the ultimate goal!!
Words cannot express how damn proud I am of Alaqua Cox.
God bless her in everything she does.
*"It's time for a Queen"*
#GoSupportEcho #GoStreamEcho
Well Yh she can’t hear words so make sense
@@rezaomar3397??
She was great, the series was amazing, hope to see more of her character in the MCU
👎👎👎
The series was ASS ..... She seems like a nice young lady , so hopefully she finds something better.
She’s so positive and upbeat. How could you not love her???
I hated the show, but I don't hate her. She was used to market a train wreck.
@@rjones6080nah. It was so good!
The woman doing interpretation was excellent. She was transferring emotions.
A great job
She’s awesome ❤ I look forward to her future in the MCU!
If the MCU mirrors her comic book journey at all, it'll be quite the ride.
@@chrisd7047 They've already changed her character from the comics
@@dylanbetts8774 Uh, yeah, I know. That doesn't mean she can't go to the same places in her story.
Without question! God Bless and keep her family!
her show sucked, she'd be lucky to get a reprising role or even her own show again.
Ah this made me cry. So grateful she’s here finally, SO proud of her. Ah my inner child is just beaming for this representation, and she’s just REALLY FREAKING GOOD as Echo. All the good things!!
Beautiful to see jimmy learning ASL to welcome Alaqua on the show it show dedication, and empathy to participate, and engage in conversation.
Way more effort than Kingpin was willing to do.
@@DylanMaddI understood that reference from the Echo miniseries.
@@DylanMaddWell he did commission some tech that would be life changing for deaf people so that's something 😅
@@Jakeyisdeadbut only gave it to a person that doesn’t want to talk to him😂😂
It's so good to see her smile. Her character hardly ever smiles.
Her character has zero emotion at all.
@@jeremymcmaster2647Bullshit. Did you somehow not see the scenes with her uncle and grandmother?
@@jeremymcmaster2647lastly, * KAAAAH.. PUHH!!** .. 💦
Same thought.
@@griffgames9538or the entire scene with her Mother That was One of the most heartfelt and sweet scenes
Seeing all these deaf actors and actress getting recognized is warming my heart 😊
A huge win for the deaf and disabled community.
Actress?
Yes. But they deserve to be in better written shows. This was.. not good.
@@Stringer13ell Yes, actress. Does it disappoint you she isn't trans so you can't have a cry baby rampage?
I love this lady's vibe, strong woman indeed.
Also , for me at least, she is very easy on the eyes - - just saying ! 😊
This is a great example of incorporating ASL in an interview and sharing it on YT with the awesome interpreter. Amazing job to the entire team for putting this clip together. Alaqua is a beautiful and talented actor and this made her all the more accessible to those who don't already know sign language. 🤟
I'm so happy for her! 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 hope to see her play echo for more future seasons. she's aweasome !
@@reaperofsouls7x130 agreed
OMG! The enterpreter is so good. It's like Alaqoa is actually talking!
The whole interview made me smile genuinely and I didn't notice it until the end. I am not deaf or disabled, I just loved this representation. Pure humanity right here
I love Fallon taking the extra step to learn some Sign Language, and the positive patience of the audience. I wish this kind of empathy was more prevalent all over, but this is a start
I love her and no idea why, I got emotional seeing her first-ever interview after Echo and now again I am getting emotional!
I wish her nothing but happiness, success, good health, and love!
The woman was such a breath of fresh air amazing actor. Alaqua Cox character shows that there isn’t no agenda behind anything we just want good actors and good stories, Echo had all of that. The fact that Hawkeye was her first acting job is quite amazing then to get her own show wow super impressive.
Well Done 👏
This was so fascinating to watch, kudos to Jimmy and the people at the Tonight Show for giving her this platform
no matter what you think about the show itself, she is awesome
The translator did a very good job expressing the emotions and all..
This Echo series is one of the best marvel additions in a long time.
Maya and Alaqua are both BADDIES
It’s impossible not to love her. She’s so cool and I love her facial expressions. So adorable but she turns into such a badass!
It's possible. What facial expressions? Clearly you are not making any reference to her acting because she has one expression.
@@jeremymcmaster2647when was the last time you went outside
@decdoesstuff7939 when was the last time you decent acting? That lady couldn't sell emotions to save her life.
@@jeremymcmaster2647 it’s one thing to dislike someone’s acting, but to say it’s impossible for anyone to like her is wild.
@@decdoesstuff7939 replied that it's possible to not love her. Stop making up stuff.
I have never met Alaqua, yet I am so proud of her! I truly adore her portrayal of Maya and would LOVE to be able to meet her one day! Being disabled myself, albeit in a different way, just seeing someone with a disability so proudly and awesomely being a superhero is amazing and I love it!
I went to high school with her. I didn't know her that well other than being gym partners a couple times but she was always incredibly sweet to everyone. Its cool to see someone from our school that is doing something cool with their life that we can all live vicariously through lol.
@@very_grey that's amazing!! I feel the same, someone from my area, who went to my high school (a few years older) was in the NFL and one is currently in the MLB, so we live vicariously through them lol
@jordandurfee6228 we also have an NFL player! There was a lot of buzz around him when he was a rookie and he was starting for a few seasons but I'm not sure if he is anymore.
@@very_grey oh cool! I know ours only played for three seasons, but since he's left I have no idea what he's up to
OMG it's so seamless, the communication isn't barrier guys
Alaqua is incredible! I hope she gets lots of acting roles in the future! ❤
you're telling me that was her FIRST role as an actress? Tis woman NAILED it holy shit
She is such an amazing actress, and this show is only the second time she has ever acted! I can’t wait to see what other roles she does in the future.
found myself smiling throughout the video, awesome that Jimmy learned a bit of sign language for this, awesome work from the interpreter, and Alaqua is captivating.
I'm on my second episode of Echo and after watching this, I can say that I'm a huge fan of this beautiful young woman and wish her nothing but the best in her life and career. Shine on Alaqua Cox!!
“There’s no limits for their lives they can break free and they can follow their dreams.” Love it! This is great to see and hear….
The interpreter was awesome...i like how she conveyed emotions through words👏👏
Love Alaqua she was great as echo she brought a perfect combo of heart, and fierceness to the role love her performance, and the series hope we see more of echo in the MCU meaningful to see more ASL repesentation in the Media ,and native American culture.
While i wasn't a big fan of the show, i will say that i admire her and am proud to see her succeed. I hope Marvel isn't the only thing she ends up in and instead grows to be a successful woman in Hollywood. Congrats, Alaqua ❤
She has such a pretty smile, so genuine. I'm really happy for her success.
Now I wanna see the series even more. I did not know she was deaf. Amazing!!
Her smile is contagious... so happy for her.
Nothing better than an infectious smile...every time she smiled, i was smiling right with her
Omg i just realised i’ve been smiling the whole interview
*Man, Alaqua is really awesome! I REALLY hope she gets lots of jobs in movies and series.*
*Also, kudos for the interpreter! She's simply amazing too!*
Alaqua Cox is amazing as Echo. I can't wait to see more of her as Echo
Man good for her. I've kinda given up on the MCU but want to watch Echo now because of Alaqua Cox, she's inspiring.
That was an amazing interview. Brought tears to my eyes. She dominates every scene she's in. Incredible performances in both Hawkeye & Echo. Can't wait for season 2. I hope she's in Dardevil too!
Echo was just so damn well done. The storyline, the acting, the cinematography...and THE MUSIC. It gave me chills and goosebumps. I loved her character.
I’m brought to tears of joy watching this segment. Alaqua is a true inspiration. I wasn’t aware that Echo wasn’t an amputee, having been introduced to the character in her first appearance (sorry I don’t remember the timeline was she in her own show or part of another initially?) on D+. I look forward to seeing her 5 part storyline when I re-subscribe to D+ later this year. It saddens me that it’s only 5 episodes.
With the Marvels movie not doing so well, partly due in my opinion, to two of the characters having been introduced on D+ and not in the movies, I hope to see Alaqua on the big screen eventually and introduced to the mainstream moviegoers and hope her introduction on D+ not having a negative impact on a movie. Marvels also failed to reach boys because they’re not used to strong women leads. This needs to change.
Strong women roles in movies are needed! To heck with the men who don’t like to see them, many of us do! Alaqua as Echo can exist away from Kingpin, let’s see it.
She was introduced in the show Hawkeye! And I’m pretty sure she’ll be in the daredevil show too
That's right, Echo in the comics is not an amputee; the MCU added that portion to its portrayal to make the story match Alaqua. They also changed her abilities/powers, which I mention just in case you or someone else gets a wild hair and decides to read the comics. It is a very good run, starting in Daredevil #9 from 1999.
@chrisd7047 Thank you for including that information. When I was heavily into comics (Marvel in particular), I wasn’t a big fan of DD and missed this run. Knowing where to look, because I do indeed get wild hairs, is 99% of the battle. Just for my information; is this prior to or after Marvel’s Earth merger (similar to DC Comics Crisis storyline) of 2 worlds? That’s where I stopped my collection as I didn’t like where I perceived Marvel was headed.
Lmao
That interpreter is amazing. I literally felt like it was Alaqua talking the whole time. Amazing job on your part too Jimmy.
Talented lady. Hope to see more of her in stuff.
Sign language is insane, wish I had the time to dedicate to learn it well
She is gorgeous. I love her since I saw Echo for the first time in Hawkeye. Thank you Alaqua. Thank you Maya.
I'm glad Marvel adapted the character to her, because she is great in this role. And the background story they gave her was good as well.
AHH I live that her interpreter captured her emotion!
i was so happy to see alaqua on the tonight show omg!! i hope she has a successful career beyond the mcu as well! the emotion she brought to maya was incredible. i love her
So Happy for Alaqua! She is amazing in Echo!!! Such a badass in real life and on screen!
Really loving the representation for deaf actors/actresses & characters in recent years in tv shows.
Echo (Alaqua Cox)
Last of Us (Lamar Johnson)
The Walking Dead (Lauren Ridloff)
also many others i don't know about.
Echo was really well done.
I love this actress, I loved her in “Hawkeye,” and when they introduced her in that show, I remember hoping they would give her character a redemption arc!! ❤ She and Jeremy Renner had great chemistry as well, I hope they can work on a team sometime again. So much love for you, Alaqua!!!! You are beautiful inside and out!!!!!
This was a wholesome interview. I love Alaqua Cox, she performed excellently in *Echo*.
Thank you Jimmy for giving Alaqua an opportunity to share her story. She was great in the show for what we've gotten.
I am currently learning sign language right now. Alaqua Cox is awesome as Maya Lopez/ Echo. I can’t wait to see more of her in the MCU. She’s my favorite hero in Marvel Comics.🤓😊👊🏾👌🏾
She was so amazing to watch in Echo! I'd love to see her in more stuff. She's great and so proud and happy to be there.
She's awesome and how about her interpreter.... She did such a great job!
Proud of my Indigenous people. Stay humble
Echo was awesome - Alaqua is awesome! Great interview too - thanks Tonight Show for hosting her!
Echo turned out so good, it was amazing. I think it’s more impressive and inventive to pull off telling a story like Maia’s than all the CGI effects.
The show was amazing I’ve watched it 2x already!
Just finished watching Echo, such a cool addition to the MCU! Can't wait to see what they do with her character next ❤
Her eyes were so expressive throughout the series 🫠!!
Alaqua is so lovely, I would love to see more of her. She did a hell of a job for a first time actor. Not easy at all.
She does a great job. Echo is so serious Alaqua's big smile caught me off guard. 🤩
Just finished binging the series tonight. EPIC. Just wish there was more!
Please give the interpreter credit. This was the best interpretation I've seen with Alaqua; it felt like they were getting every inflection, tone, and tenor. They deserve credit.
I can’t wait to see echo and Makkari meet. She was fantastic in this show!
They probably won’t but that’d be cool
@@elisitbon4672No they do Black Night and Echo are lovers they still have a chance to meet
Echo was amazing tv show and everybody should see it! I learn a lot about Native American culture. I hope Alaqua Cox in more acting projects.She amazing, and talent.
I stopped after first episode had all the good stuff from the trailer in it.
This series is great for representation
This is how you do an inclusive show
You don't have to be perfect (the image tv used to show years ago), to be PERFECT (being yourself is enough)!
This is amazing I didn’t watch the show but I respect her so much for being bold and trying new things
She is a Total Badass. The show was great, binged it last weekend. Cannot wait to see what she does next.
Alaqua killed this interview!!! So well spoken and a what a role model! 🔥
Alaqua Cox was so great as Maya Lopez. I loved how she brought her toughness, skills, depth and hard choices. Loved the show.
She literally kicked ass in that show. Can't wait to see more from her.
I'm soooo happy for Alaqua and her opportunity, and she is getting this exposure because of Echo. She has such a beautiful smile.
Omg the women did well I felt Alaque was talking to us 😊
She is such a awesome girl so adorable, cant wait to see her future in marvel 🤩
Echo was amazing I hope they keep her story going forward
Didn't know she was actually an amputee and deaf, total respect for her and her work, she did amazing
Loved this interview. Aquala is a gorgeous human being!
Besides the fact that this show was incredibly amazing to me when it came to the scene, where kingpin gave her the contact, which allowed her to see the sign language was crazy. I don’t know if we already have made some technology that allows that to happen but man, if we did or have already, those are amazing leaps, and steps
Im an avid marvel fan... ive watched this show... its not a complete marvel show which everyone expects... but man i would watch this show again just to see something which has never been done before, thats this lady alaqua. Im so happy i watched this beautiful show ive always wanted to see indigenous people in screen more and more and this woman put out so much focus and nailed the character well. This show undoubtedly proves their are no limits when you really want to do something great.
When you try to reach the top you can atleast reach it halfway. Thank you MARVEL, I love you more for this show❤
She looks so different and friendly in real life....Good acting❤
I smiled through the whole interview. That was amazing. Good show, very happy to see her in it and I hope she does more stuff.
Such an inspiring lady. Echo was amazing and I hope they keep her story alive.
I'm not crying you are 😭 This is so beautiful.
She’s so amazing! So proud of her she’s an inspiration and awesome! Congrats Ms. Alaqua!!
She's opening doors for other people like her. You ❤ too see it. She has a bright future in front of her.❤
Gotta say the action sequences were amazing..love it
I'm watching Echo right now for the first time and wow I did not realize that she is actually deaf and amputee, what a hero too people around the world.❤❤❤
It’s so wild how serious Maya is and how happy and excitable she is
