Part 2/8:
2023 saw Marvel Studios stumble in unprecedented ways, with productions plagued by delays, internal conflicts, and critical failures. The upcoming Echo series exemplifies these struggles. Originally mired in production hell, Echo was reportedly nearly shelved before being released. Marvel's executives faced intense internal resistance to cancel it, primarily because of the promises made regarding diversity and inclusion. Marvel opted to release all episodes simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu—an approach that aims to minimize prolonged criticism but may backfire.
