    Overall I liked it.

    I was a little worried they were going to go over the top with magic powers. I think they did go a little too far, but they didn’t go ridiculous.

    I would have changed the final fight a bit. Have Fisk watch as his goons beat up Maya. Maya’s cousin and grandmother can watch in horror.

    With Maya “beat” start beating on the cousin and have someone push granny to the ground. Maya can then gain her magic powers. Have her start fighting back, goons stop beating other folks and turn to Maya.

    As Maya overtakes goons, getting closer to Fisk, Fisk encourages her. Demand that she fight harder. Stronger. Have her fight Fisk. Do a little dark side let the rage flow through you.

    Then Maya can figure out pure rage isn’t the way. We can do a little magic, have the same therapy scene.

    If we want to keep the outdoor stuff just have the goons leave their posts and help defend Fisk. A backup car can still be handled by Biscuit. Her uncle could be slowly trying to break in and help, but not prepared to take on 20 goons, but just the one important goon, that’s fine.

    Basically don’t give everyone powers. That was too much.

      Yea everyone getting powers at once cheapened it for me. I’m glad they had that other scene with Fisks mind, even though it was random with no prior indication that she could do that.

      I’m worried that “everyone gets powers” thing is going to get memed now. The series was really good otherwise
