I think we are in for another pushing the main character aside for the strong, independent and diverse girl boss.

Is Echo the new Andor?
The Echo trailer just dropped today, and it looks surprisingly cool. There is a lot of rated Mature violence, blood, and death, but I still don’t trust the trailer. This is the first MCU Disney+ show to have all the episodes drop on the same day, which does show a lack of faith in the show by Disney. Having a weekly premier adds online buzz and would have viewers debating theories each and every week.
There have been some rumors from the cast that Disney is reportedly “unhappy” with the project, and many speculate if it would get the Batgirl treatment (meaning it was canceled and the company would recoup the tax write-off), which makes sense given the state of Disney now. Disney+ is hemorrhaging money on its shows and movies that go straight to the streaming service. Secret Invasion cost Disney 200 million dollars and had some of the worst ratings and fan reactions.
If the show is as fantastic as the trailer, then the best-case scenario is for this show to end up like the Star Wars show Andor, which was a good show but came and went without any significant impact on the franchise.
I do wonder how this show will treat Matthew Murdoc, AKA Daredevil. The character and Netflix show was an absolute hit, but his time in the MCU has been nothing short of disrespectful to the character and fans alike. If he does battle with Echo, I imagine he will be beaten senseless.

Loki the Skeptic Loki the Believer
Remember that sad emotional scene where Loki watches his future and becomes a better person from it? He sees himself and Thor becoming friends, getting along, seeing that he is the reason his mother was killed in Thor 2, ultimately sees himself die at the hands of Thanos and realizes this is his fate if he doesn’t change. Yet when He Who Remains shows Loki the script of what’s about to happen, he says “It’s a parlor trick”.
Ummm what?
Loki watched a montage of his future, took it as gospel, became a better person from it and now, all of a sudden, after he’s gone on this massive journey, now you’re a skeptic.
It reminds me of one of my favorite and most hated movies The Polar Express, where a child who doesn’t believe in Santa goes on a magical train ride, meets elves, sees Santa’s workshop yet when he finally sees Santa in person he doesn’t know if he believes.
That’s what happens when you try to shoe horn 3 movies of character development into one montage and then all of a sudden make the lead character go through actual moments of doubt.
