Echo

It’s impressive just how good Cox is here. She carries the show completely with her body language, facial expressions, and signing, and it genuinely feels special that Marvel is introducing a hero here who is a deaf Native American woman who uses a prosthetic leg played by a deaf Native American woman who uses a prosthetic leg.

What distinguishes this is how it opens a window into American Indian culture and heritage while telling a brisk, exciting mystery that steers Disney+ to a new horizon of not only more complicated and edgier storytelling but one told from an often overlooked perspective.

If you approach Echo like the five-episode movie that it is, you’ll be a lot more satisfied with the pace of the limited series’ storytelling. It’s certainly darker than much of the MCU fare we’ve been seeing, but it’s also one of the MCU series that’s most grounded in reality and family, which is refreshing to see.

“Echo” it sets up a tug of war between an action-thriller imperative and a cultural-historical imperative that ends up as a losing battle for both sides. .... Where “Echo” comes to life — often enough to make it a short, harmless binge — is in the spaces between action and history.

Though inconsistently paced and lacking in character development, Echo is still an interesting look at a pretty remarkable hero, with some thrilling fights — and the more adult tone is a welcome new direction for the MCU.

A third-rate snoozer that further waters down the once-mighty Marvel brand.

Instead of fleshing out its setting, Echo just dithers, haphazardly introducing plot points and then seeming to forget them for long stretches of time. With as many as seven writers credited on some episodes, Echo feels both overworked and unfinished, as if pieces were hacked out and rearranged at random.

Eco é incrível, do início ao fim e um grande acerto do mcu como precisávamos para o gênero de super-heróis. Curtindo até agora.

Die Fight-Szenen sind wuchtig und die Kameraarbeit ist erste Klasse.Etwas skurril fand ich, dass der halbe Cast von Reservation Dogs dabei **** Geschichte ist im Grossen und Ganzen nur mittelmässig interessant, wobei die erste und letzte Folge ziemlich gut sind. Diese Staffel hinterlässt keinen grossen Fussabdruck im Marvel-Universum. Das nun jeder Produzent zwangsweise die indogene Bevölkerung in den Mittelpunkt stellen muss, macht es auch nicht besser.

This show starts out good but quickly devolves into more marvel schlock. Echo's powers are corny.

This is definitely my biggest disappointment of the MCU so far. Despite the TV-MA rating, the return of Daredevil (barely), and the return of Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin, it simply wasn't entertaining. I really liked Alaqua Cox's character in the Hawkeye series, and was initially excited about this spin-off, but ultimately, I don't think she has the charisma to carry a series on her own. Her ever-present scowl never allowed the viewer to feel what she's thinking or feeling from moment to moment, and after awhile it felt like she was doing some weird T-1000 impersonation. (Though, Robert Patrick was magnetic when he did it.) And when the only backup you give her are a series of paper-thin supporting characters (with the exception of Vincent D'Onofrio), the generic fight scenes, and odd flashbacks just didn't help. I get what Marvel was trying to do and applaud their continued efforts to showcase other cultures and backgrounds, but step one of any show is to craft an entertaining and engaging story. This just wasn't it.

Marvel gets lazy and cuts corners on basic fundamentals. Underbaked story and scripts. Loses way early on and never gets back on track. This could have been two episodes… and not even worth the effort. Suffers from the same malaise that other Marvel properties suffer lately: hubris and assumption that people will want to watch this based on it being Marvel. Not because the story and script. What a flawed philosophy that has lost Marvel millions. Skip this
