Although Marvel and its cinematographic universe continue to be very strong in terms of box office, ratings, and popularity, it cannot be denied that trying to overexploit the franchise has not had the expected results. Rather than keep up, the company decided to step on the gas to generate more content and more money in less time. This resulted in widespread exhaustion and continued criticism of the poor quality of some recent proposals. Kevin Feige is aware of all this and does everything possible to repair the damage, but there are certain titles that from the beginning had several points against, such as Threw outwhich the executive came to consider a disaster that should not be released.

The early stages of Marvel were pretty simple finding their main heroes and developing them into their own trilogies and then slowly connecting them into major events like The Avengers – 92%, Avengers: Age of Ultron –
75%, Captain America: Civil War –
90%, Avengers: Infinity War –
79% and Avengers: Endgame –
95%. However, things had to change because the company wanted to use new characters that deserved their own space to develop, and it was thus that it gave the green light to certain titles that still do not fully connect with what was left of the original group.
There are high expectations for the Saga of the Multiverse, but there are also several obstacles and problems to solve, especially now that the exclusive series of Disney Plus require different attention. WandaVision – 95% served to connect with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness –
88%and Loki-
96% introduced us to the big villain of the new saga for the first time, as well as everything behind the concept of the multiverses, but more recent titles like She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – 74% either Ms Marvel –
100% they have followed a very strange path for the followers despite the promise that everything will eventually come together.
Some time ago, and under the mandate of another executive named Bob Chapek, the company was forced to find many ways to continue developing and releasing series, since the goal was basically to fill every month of the year with Marvel content. This decision ended up seriously affecting the latest proposals of the brand and even in the cinema the problem began to be noticed with criticism of the special effects and more moderate box office like that of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – 60%. Although now they propose to go back a few steps to fix these problems, certain productions were already too advanced to leave them aside, such as Threw outspin-off of Hawkeye- 87%.

Echo, performed by Alaqua Coxwas first introduced as the first female villain in hawkeye, although it soon became clear that she was being manipulated and behind all the events there was a much more dangerous villain. Comic book connoisseurs appreciated the introduction of Echo as well as the confirmation that she would have her own solo series that would show us what happened after the season finale where she discovered the Kingpin’s true intentions. However, the rush and internal mismanagement, as well as the fact that this spin-off was not exactly a priority, put her treatment at risk, and many believe that the premiere of her will not do the heroine justice. .
A long time ago the release date of Threw out for this same year, and it seems that in the end things could turn out very well, but there was a moment in which the title was incredibly chaotic and without head or tail, which put Kevin Feige to think about the worst option: not release it at all. According to the insider jeff sneider (via ComicBookMovie.com) the rumors that the series was fatal were completely true:
I heard that the series was plagued with problems during production. I heard that it was a disaster, and that the show went so badly that they basically had to reshoot the whole thing. They told me they originally filmed 8 episodes, and [Kevin Feige] He thought that it could not be released like this, so he talked about reducing it to 4 episodes, or 6 in post-production.
Although this does not look good for the expectations that the public can create about Threw outin the end it seems that things were solved well:
But then they ended up filming it again, so my source didn’t actually know how many episodes they ended up with. But yeah, it apparently needed a head-to-toe fit, and Kevin wasn’t happy about it.
Something that attracts a lot of attention, and that for the viewers is not a good sign, is that all the episodes of Threw out They will be released suddenly on Disney Plus in November, instead of one chapter per week as has been the tradition. This decision could be because the company is not very confident in the final product and wants to avoid bad reviews and weekly reviews, especially since the second season of Loki it won’t go through something like that.
