Part 3/9:
Instead of releasing episodes weekly—a typical Marvel strategy—the studio opted for a bold move: releasing all five episodes simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu. This approach seems designed to consolidate viewership quickly and limit the conversation or critique during a prolonged rollout. Notably, the review embargo for Echo is set to lift at the same time as the show's release at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on January 9th—an unusual move that hints at Marvel's lack of confidence in early reviews, possibly fearing negative critical reception.
