The fact that Marvel has not had a good run lately when it comes to movies and series is probably known to everyone who is at least a little interested in superhero productions. However, the studio, led by Kevin Feige, is still not giving up and is making efforts to address the crisis. Proof that the studio has come to its senses and learned from its failures can be seen in the success of the upcoming Echo. Judging by the first reviews, the show promises to be really good.

Critics have already had the opportunity to watch two episodes of the show aimed at adult viewers. Journalists have shared their impressions online, and most of their opinions are extremely positive. The story presented in Echo focuses on a heroine named Maya, who has to face her own past. She discovers her background and realizes what family means. Reviewers praise the storyline presented in the first episodes - appreciate that Marvel has finally decided to focus on a smaller - rather than universe-wide - stakes.

The attention of journalists has also not escaped the fact that the show is violent and dark - and therefore intended for an older audience. The fact that the studio decided to move away from creating family-friendly content for a while is viewed very positively by the first viewers. Here are excerpts from the first reviews.

"I had a great time watching the first two episodes of Echo. There are some amazing and brutal fight scenes in the series, I wanted to watch them endlessly. The sound is fire, Alaqua Cox is amazing, although the storytelling itself and the pace is tentative. I'm excited to see more!," wrote Emily Murray.

"If you've been longing for a more down-to-earth Marvel stakes, then Echo brings it. It's a powerful action thriller focused on Native American culture. I can't wait to watch the remaining episodes!," praises Paul Klein.

"Netflix's Daredevil fans will be delighted. Marvel has reminded itself that it can be violent and dark. Alaqua Cox is amazing. However, I didn't like all of the creative decisions," notes Tom Percival.

The creator of the promising Echo is Marion Dayre. The show will debut on Disney+ in early 2024, more precisely on January 10.
