Marvel‘s Phase Five was a bit of a disappointment, with the fans looking forward to the ‘Hawkeye’ spinoff ‘Echo‘. The trailer of the series created shockwaves among the audience, making it a must-watch series. Moreover, Daredevil’s presence alongside Echo was the highlight of the show.
Charlie Cox is known for a variety of roles, but it was the role of Matt Murdock that gained him popularity among the fans. However, the actor’s embodiment of Daredevil was so skillfully played that the fans could not get over his presence after ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, so the Marvel fans anticipated witnessing him in ‘Echo’. But the showdown was not up to the mark.

One of the X users commented, “This is utter garbage, nothing about this compares to Netflix ‘Daredevil’.
