While we won’t be seeing many MCU films in 2024, Disney+ users will be able to enjoy several productions made especially for them. Thus, the first of these finally premiered yesterday, January 9, and it did in a way that many did not expect, since its five episodes the echo They are available now. So, the first reactions to the new MCU series are already here and they paint a mixed picture.
now, the echo It has a rating of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics., while the general public rated it 73%. These are numbers that many may consider negative, but in reality they are neither bad nor good. Espinoff commented on this:
“Tired dialogue, a weak screenplay, a roughly worked rhythm… the series is somewhat saved by action that, if not always present, somewhat compensates for the rest.”
For his part, Roger Ebert gives us a different view:
“Something clicked here. Despite its short run, it seems that after ‘Avengers: Endgame’ the heart that was sucked out of the MCU is slowly getting back to the bones of a franchise trying to reinvent itself.”
Empire Magazine, for its part, manages to find the middle point of the series:
“Though inconsistently paced and lacking in character development, Echo is an interesting take on an interesting hero, with some exciting fights, and a more mature tone is a welcome new direction for the MCU.”
Similarly, the Rolling Stones noted the following:
“It’s actually pretty good, and the strongest the MCU has seen overall when it comes to accomplishing what it sets out to do.”
For his part, one fan noted:
“It wasn’t the best show, but it was the worst Marvel has ever produced. A good show is buried in there somewhere. In my opinion, Disney just couldn’t land the plane.”
Similarly, another user commented:
“This is a great series, Maya is very complex and interesting. “I’m glad she’s not a tortured, self-loathing heroine, but a real person with different feelings.”
Thus, It is clear that the echo It’s not the best series out there right now, but it’s a worthy piece of work that all MCU fans can appreciate. With this, it seems that this production marks the beginning of a new path for this universe, where street heroes like Daredevil will be the stars. We can’t wait to see what direction Marvel Studios takes with this property. We remind you that Chapter Five the echo They are now available on Disney+ On a related note, you can watch the first look of the third season here What if…? Similarly, Wolverine’s case is also leaked Deadpool 3.
Editor’s note:
I am excited to see the echo. Although I can’t right now due to time constraints, I can’t wait to see this production. Obviously, it doesn’t reach the level of Netflix’s Daredevil, but it’s a step in the right direction, which is what many fans wanted to see.
