Between rumors of rewrites (true), reshoots (true), and problems with quality (blatantly untrue), the series dropped the full five episode season in early 2024 on Disney+ & Hulu. So who is Echo and what is she doing in the MCU? We breakdown her origins in the comics and TV show, that way-too-short but great cameo, the series itself, plus that MAJOR ending.

The Fall of X has finally concluded, but was it with a whimper or a bang?

Meanwhile, some of the most beloved on-goings of the Krakoan Era were brought to an end. Will fans stick around to see what fills the void? We can’t wait to talk about the State of X as 2023 comes to a close.
