Eyes of Wakanda

I wasn't expecting much from this series like I was mostly interested in it because of the plot and iron fist plus I wasn't the biggest fan of the animation so I didnt go into this with the biggest expectations but too be honest...this show blew me away and too be honest after thunderbolts and fantastic 4 marvel just xant stop cooking man. Firstly the animation it was visually stunning like some of the shots here were just beautiful no joke this might be marvel animations best looking project yet and the thing i was mostly iffy about was the face shapes like I got how marvel took inspiration from African painting which is cool but the way the shape of the faces were just made me iffy on it but in the show it actually works really well and it gives each character their own distinct look too. Plus I dont normally binge a series but here in one sitting the time flew by as I binged watched this entire series which is good. It also keeps you on the edge of your seats alot of times like how one character gets in a near death experience in episode 4 then the final battle in episode 2 are all really good examples of edge of your seats times plus this show makes you care about the characters especially in episode 2(my favourite episode)the way that ended was so heartbreaking and sad for that wakandan and the fact that they make you care for characters you'll only see once for like 30 minutes is mad and extremely positive fir the show and it's writing. Also the fact it's an anthology series too really benefits the show like it is sometimes connected too eachother but when it is it does make sense(mostly episode 2 and episode 4 which I'm really mixed on)like episodes 1 ending shows how marvel could of just made the entire show sbout that one war dog in the first episode but they don't and instead they have different stories with different character each episode which i really think it benefitted from plus i think alot of people will like how you dont have too watch anything too know what happens in this. Another thing is how it explores how the war dogs cope with being in a isolated country too then the real world and I've always liked how the MCU explored how wakanda is extremely isolated and they do it here again but show it through different people like in episode 2 it's tragic,episode 3 it doesn't really affect them and in that episode and episode 4 those war dogs kind off thrive in it so exploring how it affected different characters was cool too. It also shows us like a bit of first times in wakandan history mostly episode 1 and 3 but I liked that too as it shows us wakandans history and also you see how they advance each time we visit there which is another cool detail. The action here too is really good it's fast paced and enjoyable too watch and one thing I didnt expect in the show was a bit of blood or quite a bit of blood here and there like if any parents are reading this i would say maybe be careful if your child watches this not at all with the last two episodes but more with the first two like you know it's not like horror level blood it's more splashes if it here and there and in episode 2 a character has a arrow through his hand and cuts someone's foot and in episode 1 alot of people get stabbed and sometimes it is a close up so maybe be careful with that but also I think it benefits the show as it shows how brutal those times were and how brutal history is so I liked it plus I liked the maturity of the show. Also as a big history nerd I really enjoyed seeing real world history events here plus it keeps true too the MCU by introducing some greek or norse(I'm not sure)into episode 2 so that was a cool detail. Also i liked iron fist and their costume i just wanted too say that. Now I do have some negatives with it mainly that I wish it was longer like I think there's still so many historical events they could put the war dogs in then also there are some plot holes with it mainly from what episode 4 does which my main gripe with this show. Before I forget aswell I didnt mind the iron fist episode I just kinda thought it was the weakest it was still good but the first two were great with episode 2 being beyond that for me then episode 4 was just really good but idk I just found it too be over humorous,the main wakandan in it was kinda annoying and there were a few clichés in it mostly at the end with how the characters lie about the events and you just go really especially since through those lies one character gets his dream job so that bugged me and there wasn't enough iron fist action it like their powers only get used twice and their mostly unmasked and talking which kind off disappointed me as I was really looking forward too seeing iron fist mostly for the action and also like I said earlier I really liked the costume especially the madk which you barely see in a 30 minute episode plus they kinda spoil who the iron fist is through the first 2 seconds on screen through a characters clothes colour being green and yellow. Anyway back too episode 4 they have a big reveal in it where they show that all the episodes were connected through the artifacts which they don't explain why either so that's annoying but also it's mainly the last panther story as it tries too connect all the episodes and then tries too connect the bkack panther films and beyond too and your just like why did we need that when what they do with one of the villians worked perfectly without this explanation and the whole thing about how it'll have impacts on beyond the MCU is just like really as they introduce a villian here that apparently will destroy the world in the future and I just kind if thought so earth could stop thanos and kang and loki but not thus centipede looking thing I think you'll see what I mean when you watch as its hard too not explain it without spiling it but just know I felt mixed and didnt think it needed it either. Overall though thus show definitely surprised me and definitely keeps the bkack panther/wakanda franchise in the MCU one of the best. Is it one of marvels best shows no but it's definitely amazing and a must watch as I think alot of people will definitely enjoy it like I did.

It's okay! If you've seen Predator: Killer of Killers, Spiderverse, or Arcane, this one might not impress you as much. It was decent for the most part, but the stories weren't particularly amazing-they were just average.

That said, I did enjoy the fight scenes and the tech; those were definite highlights.

One thing I honestly couldn't stand was the accent-it was horrendous. Why couldn't they just speak in a native tongue like the Japanese or Italians do in this same series? Instead, they went with this awkward, forced English accent that just didn't work.

A miniseries that expands the lore of Wakanda, adding interesting details and leaving room for certain debates. It has attractive concept art.

"Eyes of Wakanda" is an entertaining, simple, and very acceptable proposal due to the addition of narrative aspects that in a way promote the entire environment of Wakanda, its beginnings, or stages at various points in time. It can be very entertaining depending on your expectations or very mediocre in what it aims to convey, however, it has merit in terms of all its elaboration and the work behind the final result.

It's one of those Marvel productions that tries a twist on animation, and it's fine; all that visual aspect is reflected on screen and it has pleasant moments. I can highlight the overall concept art, which has a level of detail, creativity, and ingenuity that dazzles at all times. The ability to encompass that original style and the designs in the stories deserves a great point. Each of the environments seen in the episodes is striking and full of energy.

There are 4 episodes that cover different stories, themes, objectives, and reflections that come together to somewhat complement the ideals of a resource-rich country in different eras, all with the aim of creating a coherent link with characters already seen in the 2018 movie "Black Panther." Being able to see certain small details, references, stories, and the introduction of new characters, I believe, fulfills in some way.

It should be noted that it is not an animated miniseries that will revolutionize the Marvel universe, but it can entertain true fans. In addition, from my perspective, it is not the best of all Marvel Animation productions either; works like "X-Men 97" or "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" are better, emphasizing plot, impactful moments, animation, and story. Even so, "Eyes of Wakanda" can be enjoyed.

The animation seems well-crafted to me, it has nuances, colors, designs, sequences, and attractive designs, its goal is well-deserved. Despite that, there's a small detail about the characters' gaze or facial features that doesn't quite convince me. The environments, locations, and so on are very well done. The musical score carries weight within the plot.

Now then, each episode has questionable details, whether due to conventions, the strength of the script, better execution of the development, more engaging plots, or exploiting the potential they had. It is evident that there are one or two episodes that leave much to be desired, whether due to the narrative argument or character development. In my experience, the second episode is the best due to the connection established in various parts through the protagonists' goals, covering real historical themes and certain creative details.

"Eyes of Wakanda" serves as another window to provide stories that can be entertaining for many viewers, fulfilling in certain details, but dividing the critics considerably. Ryan Coogler's work and his love for the culture are evident.

The essence of the comics is present and appreciated. It's a product that could have been much better, but it works. The added characters have their importance, and especially those connections with the live-action movies. Iron Fist is back in the house.

Eyes of Wakanda is one of those rare Marvel ventures that stops you in your tracks not because of big explosions or flashy cameos, but because it's unapologetically beautiful and deeply thoughtful. From the opening sequence, it felt less like a cartoon and more like a living, breathing piece of art. The show leans into a hand painted animation style inspired by Ernie Barnes and Dean Cornwell, creating visuals that critics describe as "a moving painting" that truly honors Wakanda's soul.

Across its four episodes, each story shines: Episode One's mission to Crete is high stakes and emotionally resonant; Episode Three's ancient Iron Fist arc connects legacy and mythology in a way that feels earned, not forced. I found myself fully immersed in the moral dilemmas-loyalty vs duty, isolation vs expansion-that feel like Black Panther elevated to its most cerebral form.

Some critics pointed out pacing issues and storytelling shortcuts due to the short format and they're right. A few arcs, especially in the middle, feel undercooked and don't get the emotional payoff they deserve. But the finale ties it all together beautifully, exploring legacy and sacrifice and literally weaving in Black Panther lore in a smart, satisfying callback - a payoff that made my heart skip a beat.

It's frustrating knowing this four episode miniseries is getting unjust one star reviews from people who only hate downvote because of the lead characters, not because they watched. That noise doesn't reflect what this story is doing. Eyes of Wakanda shows that Marvel still knows how to deliver emotionally rich, intelligent storytelling through animation.

This isn't just filler content-it's a bold experiment that pays off and shows what Marvel can do when it leans into art, history, and cultural weight instead of chasing trends. I came away feeling both inspired and hungry for more.

Rating: 9/10 ambitious, beautiful, insightful. Eyes of Wakanda sets a new standard for what animated Marvel stories can and should be.

I was far from being impressed with this one. The stories felt unimportant and sometimes not particularly enjoyable, mostly due to unpleasant main characters. The heroes are so focused on coming back with the stolen artifact from Wakanda, but it's hard to care about this kind of mission, and sometimes the "enemies" feel more right and easy to relate.

I don't think they were successful in their way to include Wakanda heroes into real historical events, or at least popular myth, like the Trojan horse. It feels out of place and they don't take advantage of them to make impactful arguments about our history.

The art was not that great either, not a big fan of how they made the faces, they all look like they have too much makeup on. There are some beautiful moments there, but the overreliance on "yellow rays of light" makes everything too dull when it could have had a brighter contrast.

The action scenes were as good as you can expect from Marvel, with very well-choreographed fights.
