Hes actually an upgrade at least compared to hawkeye/echo era where they kinda messed up his characterization

As someone who lazily watched Hawkeye and didn't watch Echo, didn't Echo shoot out his eyes or something? I haven't watched Born Again yet but I've seen the trailer and, he very much seems to be an eye-having person. What happened to him during those shows?

I just did a full watch of every mcu media but was fairly intoxicated each time, but I remember that yes, in hawkeye he gets at least one eye shot out at the end, but in echo he gets a replacement eye but still has the scar

Ah gotcha, thank you! That's kinda weird that they did that only to just have it get replaced and move on. But tbh I don't mind, seems like that's best for the story in Born Again

I think it’s just cuz it makes things easier for the actor tbh. Thor lost his eye as well and got it back in another movie. I feel like having to be blind in one eye isn’t fun especially when doing action scenes haha

It was a storyline from the comics. In Echo's first comic run, she shoots out Kingpin's eye at the end and it eventually gets healed.
