How hard is it to leave him in the suit, we’ve already had seasons where Daredevil only shows up for 1 episode of the season (exaggeration)

Creative team for this production going through another overhaul

Might be a case of coming in with low expectations after the last couple of D+ misfires, but I really enjoyed Echo.

Not quite as gritty as the Netflix series', but definitely captured some of that spirit. Plus the Choctaw stuff was done well and gave it an interesting wrinkle.

If this is the tone they're going for with Daredevil and the other "street" heroes I reckon it bodes well.

Overall thought Echo was decent. Excellent opening episode I felt, certainly warranted it’s MA rating with it being much darker in content.

Fight choreography was the best I’ve seen in Marvel for quite some time. Will keep this non spoilery for now, that extended one take action sequence was outstanding.

Highlights for me during the series remain the cultural aspects, I enjoyed the Choctaw Nation focus.

For me it didn’t quite live up to the heights set in the opening entry. Usual Marvel teething problems have persisted here. Pacing, editing is a bit all over the shop and by the time it got to its finale, there was so much to do and lots crammed into a jarring final 15 minutes or so. Only 5 episodes with shortish runtime was a mistake here and I felt the series would’ve greatly benefited from either longer or more episodes.

Just finished Loki S2. I know Marvel TV has copped some deserved criticism but Loki really is the peak of it. Felt this was more fun and more impactful than season 1. Shame about Jonathon Majors because he was really coming into his own by the end.

No idea if it’s true but the whole Spiderverse-without-Spider-Man thing has been a fiasco. I can’t figure out who they think wants to watch this movie.

 

[FreoRicci]

Should be straight to Disney+ movie. Ain’t no way anyone wants to watch Madame Web without any reference. So dumb.

Tom Holland has been done to death now. Bring back in Holland and add another perspective

Watched the first episode of Echo. It was decent though weirdly paced as they tried to combine an origin story, recap of events in Hawkeye and set up its own story.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Is Echo any good? Debating if I bother or not.

 

[Jatz]

I was wondering that.

I've never seen any of the Daredevil/Punisher/Jessica Jones etc.

They worth watching first? And if so, what order?

Echo is unrelated to the Marvel/Netflix shows. Kingpin is in that but not really as relevant to what he's in now

If you want the pre-requisite for Echo it's Hawkeye

Daredevil season 1 is among the best things Marvel has done. It's worth watching, though as pointed out, not a prerequisite for Echo. Hawkeye leads into Echo but I just watched the first episode and it kinda brings you up to speed anyway.

 

[Jatz]

Have seen Hawkeye so that should be fine then.

 

[glenferry23]

Yes the first episode of Echo did a nice job recapping and bringing you up to speed. Would still recommend Hawkeye regardless for the full context, but notwithstanding that I feel Echo is worth trying anyway.

Can’t add too much to what I posted a couple of weeks ago without getting into spoilers. It has flaws that aren’t unique to Echo, but many other recent Marvel projects suffer from the same stuff (pacing, episode length, editing etc). Overall I quite enjoyed it though.

If this is a prototype looks good for 1.0, hopefully the suit adds the logos

I finished What If and enjoyed the final few episodes. I did find myself quick thinking to figure out who was who and what in certain fight scenes. It was sensory overload!

As a season, WI was found wanting however.

According to the LA Times, a crew member died Tuesday morning on the Los Angeles set of a Marvel TV series after falling from the rafters. This was confirmed by a Marvel spokesperson.

The crew member, a rigger, was working on Marvel Studios' "Wonder Man" at Radford Studio Center in Studio City when the incident occurred.

I've got one to go but I agree, the last 2 or 3 eps were so much better than the first 4-5.

Wonder Man?

Didn’t even realise it was in the works.

There’s 5+ Marvel TV shows slated for release before it, plus a number of movies.

Just goes to show how many things they have on the go at the same time.

Pretty amazing really. But also concerning if you think they’re stretching themselves too far with all these things happening concurrently.

I stopped with 2 episodes left, I might as well finish it then...

With 2 eps to go you may as well. If you were only 2 eps in I'd probably suggest not to bother.

Yes

Oh boy. Like going back and watching Dr Who and Torchwood and the other spin offs there is now a certain order to watch them all. Some crossover early and some not till late

So, if you're going to do a major watch of all the shows, then be sure to check out Spider-Man: No Way Home, the Hawkeye series, that solitary episode of She-Hulk, and Echo.

Finally saw the Marvels on D+ and it wasn’t as bad as its rep. Just another ok Marvel movie. Might have done better if they just marketed it as Captain Marvel 2.

More of the same but the post credits scene was pretty good.

A lot riding on this one, the name change as well to have Wolverine in the title itself is a drawcard.
