Part 5/8:
Feedback from fans and insiders paints a bleak picture of Marvel's modern direction. The superfan marketing campaign for Echo drew parallels to Amazon's * Rings of Power*, which faced backlash for prioritizing diversity over quality. Critics suggest Marvel's approach has become superficial, focusing on inclusivity quotas rather than compelling storytelling.
The content of Echo itself has been described as a departure from traditional Marvel narratives, with some viewers praising the unexpected action sequences and signing scenes as "badass" but criticizing the lack of emotional investment. Many remain skeptical whether audiences will remain engaged beyond the initial buzz, considering the series' questionable character development.
