Echo
Recently Disney+ dropped its latest series, Echo. As with anything new that the MCU dares to do the show was met with many complaints. But as we know the general public’s opinion on what is of quality or not means absolutely nothing to me. So I of course had to watch it myself. The series is a very bingeable 5 episodes so I did finish it in a weekend. As of right now it is being railed as the second lowest rated MCU show…at 73% audience rating. First of all that isn’t at all a bad score, second of all we need to leave 10% wiggle room for internet incels angry that women exist and another 10% for the fact that Echo isn’t an established character in the MCU. Let’s go ahead and be really honest as to why WandaVision, Loki and Falcon and the Winter Soldier are rated so high, the audience was already familiar with them as characters. The first season of Loki sucked and some of y'all seem to be forgetting that. Also the lowest rated is Secret Invasion at 53% which is still way too high. So grouping them together when there is a 20% difference is insane. So here we go with the reality of Echo.

Why Villains are Heroes' Yang to their Ying

This dichotomy is fundamental to the structure and depth of narratives, providing a rich landscape for the exploration of moral, philosophical, and psychological themes.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment. Top Story - December 2023.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

The Downfall of the MCU
There has been lots of comments since the MCU released Endgame about Marvel no longer producing anything of quality. Phrases like “superhero fatigue” “go woke, go broke” and “quantity over quality” get thrown around a lot and they are all wrong. Those phrases have actually no actual validity to them whatsoever. The MCU is the same as it's always been, very little has changed.
