Echo: le reazioni dei giornalisti americani ai primi 3 episodi non sono unanimi, dividendosi tra lodi e critiche
I giornalisti americani hanno potuto vedere i primi 3 episodi di Echo e le reazioni online sono divise tra chi loda e chi boccia la serie
Echo, la nuova serie Marvel con star Alaqua Cox, è stata accolta online da reazioni contrastanti, tra chi sostiene senza mezzi termini il progetto targato Disney+ e chi ne sottolinea in modo deciso alcuni difetti.
Gli episodi della serie sono diretti da Sydney Freeland (Navajo) e Catriona McKenzie (Gunaikurnai).
#Echo is phenomenal!

Packed with action, culture, and a fresh look at the street level of the MCU. Echo is a truly enjoyable ride that makes me more excited than ever for Marvel’s new Spotlight series. Alaqua Cox is a rockstar ⚡️⚡️⚡️ pic.twitter.com/bLgkJ8hjPS
Thought the first three episodes of #Echo were pretty solid. Good action, interesting character work, and I’m hoping for some more thrills and drama in the last two episodes (plus more Kingpin).

The TV-MA rating definitely works here, looking forward to Episodes 4 and 5! pic.twitter.com/Tm1w5S1vv6
Marvel Studios' #Echo is dark, gritty, with moments I believe fans will enjoy. We get to learn more about the world that surrounds Maya Lopez, both the good and the bad. Alaqua Cox brings the character to life and does an amazing job in showing the complexity of Maya. pic.twitter.com/q5YcYRitUI

I reporter di The Movie Podcast hanno sostenuto che la serie sia brutale e implacabile, lodando inoltre le interpretazioni di Alaqua Cox e Vincent D'Onofrio, in grado di proporre profondità e onestà al MCU, con una narrazione intricata e coinvolgente, mentre l'azione è ricca e spietata.
#Echo is BRUTAL, UNFLINCHING & RELENTLESS. Alaqua Cox & Vincent D’Onofrio bring a level of RAWNESS and DEPTH to the MCU not seen since the Daredevil series. Its storytelling is intricate and captivating, while the action is rich & ruthless, making it the first must-watch of 2024. pic.twitter.com/lsfx43e7Gu

#ECHO is as BRUTAL and VIOLENT as they come. A story rooted in its Indigenous heritage, carried by the powerful performances of Alaqua Cox & Vincent D’Onofrio. It takes a bit of time to get started but once it hits… it HITS! pic.twitter.com/IoiBESROe4

#Echo brings back that Marvel grit that has been missing since the Netflix series have ended. It is a refreshing reminder that there are many other, darker and rougher, facets of the MCU yet to be explored.

Alaqua Cox kills it as Echo/Maya Lopez in many senses of the word. pic.twitter.com/VzpnmcpzYW
Un altro tweet sottolinea la bravura della protagonista nell'interpretare il dolore, la rabbia e l'ambizione del suo personaggio.
I was fortunate enough to get the chance to screen the first 3 episodes of #Echo this past week. Alaqua Cox seamlessly conveys Maya Lopez’s pain, anger and ambition through non-verbal communication. The show’s use of ASL is truly fantastic. Looking forward to seeing how it ends! pic.twitter.com/d15i47RDTT

La serie è stata apprezzata anche per la capacità di mostrare la mitologia e la cultura delle comunità indigene, oltre ad avere un buon ritmo e proporre dei personaggi apprezzabili.
#ECHO is a focused and gripping story that seamlessly intertwines brutal action, great characters, and powerful explorations of the indigenous community. Alaqua Cox rocks and shines a spotlight into a new corner of the MCU. The return of Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin is legendary. pic.twitter.com/K02opRkt3T

I found #Echo to be an incredible entry into the world of MCU Disney+ series. The heart is off the charts, the pacing is well done, and the characters are really SO lovable. Maya is so absolutely bonkers, she rocks, and the MVP award goes to Biscuits whom I dearly love. pic.twitter.com/TqIa22SFmF

Online c'è però anche chi è rimasto deluso perché sostiene che il primo episodio sia solo un montaggio delle scene di Hawkeye per spiegare quanto accaduto a chi non ha visto lo show precedente, che la linea temporale sia completamente confusa e l'azione sia poco chiara, non offrendo quindi una serie in grado di essere all'altezza dei progetti di Netflix.
Unfortunately I was really disappointed in the 3 episode I got to see of #Echo first episode is one big hatchet job of scenes from Hawkeye to explain to new comers. I don’t mind the odd previously on segment but when it’s most of the episode it kills the pacing.

2 and 3 are a… pic.twitter.com/HsPFYMJl3E
Tra i critici c'è inoltre chi ha apprezzato l'atmosfera matura e adatta a un pubblico adulto della serie.
#Echo gave me the nostalgic feeling of staying up till midnight to binge the latest DEFENDERS series! Alaqua Cox’s Maya is such an incredibly focused character that has so much under the surface of her original appearance. The action is top tier mature & bloody!🔥 pic.twitter.com/9GfBvMwcGr

The first episode of #Echo is one of the most cynical things Marvel Studios has ever released.
— Darren Mooney (@Darren_Mooney) January 9, 2024
It opens with the “Spotlight” branding, suggesting an accessible, standalone show, then spends 30 of the episode’s 43 minutes recapping “Hawkeye” and referencing the Netflix shows. pic.twitter.com/b0TcruUif9
I’ve seen the first 3 episodes of #Echo early and unfortunately for me, I wasn’t a fan. This is another example of how most of Disney+ MCU series have been crafted as films disguised as TV Shows. I appreciate and respect the representation shown and given to the Choctaw pic.twitter.com/vQa9BFXaQH

Tra gli elementi positivi anche la rappresentazione delle persone sorde e della comunità choctaw.
#ECHO has some choppy pacing, but it pushes aside the multiverse chaos to tell a ferocious character driven story that’s gritty and violent. The series takes its time to build Maya Lopez’s story while also celebrating deafness and honoring the choctaw with pride. pic.twitter.com/Q1TpEqBHV6

A metà tra chi approva e chi boccia lo show c'è inoltre qualche giornalista che ne apprezza alcuni aspetti e ne critica altri, tra cui il montaggio e la trama poco interessante, rimandando il giudizio al termine della visione.
After three episodes, #Echo is a bit of a mixed bag. I appreciate attempting to flesh out her heritage, and one action sequence is incredible, but the story is a bit unfocused. The editing is choppy, and the plot just isn’t super interesting. Let’s see how it wraps up. pic.twitter.com/gjrr88cpnr

I feel like if you’re going into #ECHO just for Netflix Daredevil vs Kingpin again you may be disappointed, but if you’re in this for ECHO and the truly compelling clash of her Choctaw origins with Kingpin’s vengeful and Villainous influence on her, you are in for a treat pic.twitter.com/58n2PWzGPD
— Rayyan*🇵🇸 (@RayyanTCG) January 9, 2024
Tra gli elementi più apprezzati anche il ritorno di Charlie Cox nel ruolo di Daredevil.
After watching #Echo, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't great to see Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin and Charlie Cox's Daredevil again. They don't play big roles early on, but fans will be pleased nonetheless.

And I know fans are going to be debating Maya and DD's fight. pic.twitter.com/gBnAl13Sk0
