No bad deed goes unpunished. All episodes of Marvel Studios' #Echo, a new Original series, streaming January 10 on @DisneyPlus & @Hulu.

Ok, that trailer made me much more interested in this show!

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

Good trailer, much better then expected! Will still wait for reviews/word of mouth, Marvel just doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me any more.

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

It has the feel of the Netflix Daredevil or Punisher series... cautiously optimistic. Especially since it's being dumped all at once.

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

I actually have that whole day free... I just might binge the entire thing.

It's a got a vibe that's halfway between Daredevil (Netflix) and Hawkeye (Disney).

I'm in.

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

Out of all the announced series this is the one I thought would get cancelled first just for having like no built in demand for it from either a comics or a character standpoint. But hopefully that means it's able to do something unique in that corner of the MCU.

Or failing that I hope that it at least has a reasonable budget.

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

Looks good and they're doing the right thing by releasing it all at once. It's also only 5 episodes, so a single day binge is easy enough to do.

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

Yeah, this actually looks pretty good.

Also, the trailer had a blink-and-you'll miss it appearance by Daredevil that I had to watch three times to catch. :lol:

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

I saw it too… hopefully it’s a little more than a cameo.

Re: Echo (Disney +) 1/10/2024
 

Some people have seen the first 2 or 3 episodes. Generally positive reactions: https://www.darkhorizons.com/first-m...ctions-are-in/

God damn... havent been this excited for a while now.

re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Funny how this project had the most "Nobody wanted this" comments I had ever seen for the MCU and now people are excited based off a couple of minute long trailers. I hope it ends up being good.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

That was a great little promo. There was a quick shot of Daredevil in it.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

One week away.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

The usual have been review bombing this because a short clip was released and they say the choreography is awful, because the punches didn't "land." It's on YT.

I looked at the clip and it looked fine. It was a bit of low resolution along with the possibility of the person's set having the motion setting switched on. People also don't know that Echo the character and actress have a prosthetic leg, so she incorporates it into the fight. It's the scene of her fighting Daredevil.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I'd been ignoring this show until I saw that trailer. Now I'm interested.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I didn't know what this was until I saw an ad on TV yesterday, I'll check it out.

It kind of reminds me of Sin City.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I think the thing is ECHO isn't a "big" name from the comics when she was introduced in Hawkeye, and that no one was sure how watered down would the Disney product be from the pretty violent Daredevil shows? Now that we see it's being marketed as TV-MA, those that enjoyed the Netflix shows can feel hopeful it will bring the same level of solid storytelling.

Cool poster.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

That poster is awesome.

Tonight’s the night…

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

First ep was okay.
Great opening. Be interesting to see what that was all about.

Terrific fight right after the open.
Then after that it was fine.


5 episodes and an all drop still has me concerned, especially with ep 1 having a large bit of flashback scenes.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I'll wait until all the episodes -- oh...

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I watched the first episode and I'll probably stick with the next. Am I alone in finding the lead actress lacking any kind of charisma or intensity?

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Barely got thru episode 1 due to environmental issues (East Coast storm/no power) but really enjoyed it. Probably finish off the series tonight.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Just finished the first ep... nice. I think I'll take this slow, one episode a day.

But then again, I could binge it all, but not until tomorrow. ;)

The fight scene with DD was pretty cool.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Wrapped it up and it was fine. It has a brisk pace and it's harmless. The final episode has an end credit sequence.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

So is this also on Hulu for a limited time or does it stay? A bit confused.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

It's on Hulu because Disney is merging the two platforms. I don't think it's limited.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I don’t like this show.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Most of this was boring.
Blink and you missed the DD appearance.
No idea what happened in the last episode.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Pretty cool Variety interview with Aloqua Cox:

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I watched the first two. I'll likely wrap it up tonight.

You can very much tell that this was redone in editing.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

I've watched the first two. Got a little bored, but I'll watch the rest. The DD appearance was cool.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Ok.. finished this and can say I was disappointed. Not so much with Echo and her "warrior's journey". But it wasn't what I was expecting. Like the previews were a bait a switch, thinking I'd see all this action in Hell's Kitchen, but that never happened. Only a flashback with DD and Kingpin getting psychically emasculated. :|

Side gripe: what did they do with all the bodies left at the skate rink?

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

Watched the first 3 tonight and outside of the DD fight and the fight at the roller rink it’s pretty boring.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
 

That undertaker lady likely made them disappear!
