Echo Prediction: A Smallpox Mess of a Show

Oh, what a time to be alive. Echo is debuting in a few days, and all episodes being dropped on day one is NEVER a good sign, but all I know is it’ll be a fun time reviewing this show. Check out my preview of what will certainly be a full week of content.

Wonderman is Alive?

My apologies everyone. I was under the impression that the Wonderman TV show was canceled during the Hollywood strike, but now that the strike is over, it has been reported that it will start production around Thanksgiving.

Wonderman and many other MCU shows will be part of the “Spotlight” section of the MCU, which means they aren’t part of the larger MCU continuity. Ok, let me see if I get this right. Marvel is now making shows and potential movies that won’t interact with the bigger world ending and Avenger Level Threats…and this is a good idea?

Which tells me one thing. The writers realized that added too many chaotic things to the franchise and there is no way to tell such stories in a logia manner anymore. Maybe having multiverse incursions, Celestial beings, Soul Eating Dragons, and a million Skrulls may have jumped the shark in the logical department.

For note, I wrote about how the Punisher wouldn’t be able to be in the MCU because why would he care about drug deals and gangsters when an alien invasion happened? But back to Wonderman, it’ll flop. This is more of a vanity project now than adding a new and exciting character to the MCU.

Why Wasn’t Heimdall Soul Stone?

Here is Google’s explanation of Heimdall’s all-seeing eyes:

“Heimdall sees and hears, all thanks to his extrasensory capabilities. His sight can extend across all Nine Realms and from the Bifrost Observatory, he can see 10 trillion souls”

So, he can see 10 trillion souls, and his eyes are orange, so why not make him the Soul Stone? Does that make more sense than flying to a distant planet, killing something you love, and then somehow ending up with the stone in your hand?

The Vormir concept still makes no sense, and is Thanos has some kind of Infinity Stone detector, attacking the ship that Heimdall was on makes sense. On that note, how did Thanos know where all the stones were? He just was flying through infinite space to somehow interact with the ship that Loki was on with the Space Stone? And then he just parks a block away from Dr. Strange’s house to get the Time Stone. But I’m getting off track here.

Long story short, Heimdall made the most sense as the keeper or the vessel of the Soul Stone and not Vormir, were the Red Skull was just watching over for some reason.
