Eyes of Wakanda

This is only 4 episodes of roughly 1/2 hour each.

It's a perspective on how Wakanda kept itself hidden for so long.

The stories are perfectly watchable and interesting enough although, as per another review, Predator Badlands is a better offshoot of its source material.

There are some interesting themes explored, such as stolen goods (who do they belong to if centuries have passed), inclusivity versus exclusivity and family versus country.

It's perfectly watchable, as I said, but nothing you could say, yeah oh I see that's a different angle to the original stories.

So something like clone wars, bad batch or (as mentioned) Predator badlands show the original stories from a different perspective, Eyes of Wakanda sort of feels like a contextual filler. Nothing new you could say oh wow to but still serves to add to the original story.

For 1/2 hour episodes, it's a reasonable way to kill time.

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.

Eyes of Wakanda is visually stunning, with beautiful animation that really brings the world of Wakanda to life. The storytelling is creative, and the music adds to the experience. I also appreciated the tie-ins to the larger Marvel universe-those moments were a treat for longtime fans.

That said, while the show had a strong foundation, it felt like it didn't quite go the distance. The story was engaging, but something was missing-perhaps a deeper emotional core or more time to let the characters breathe. The short runtime didn't help; just as things got interesting, the episode(s) seemed to end.

Overall, I liked Eyes of Wakanda, but I wanted more-more depth, more time, and maybe just a little more of that Marvel magic.

Marvel Studios' Eyes Of Wakanda is a four-part anthology series, with each episode following a different Wakandan War Dog during different time periods. With the nice animation, good action, well thought-through stories and interesting characters, it's a moderately entertaining mini-series that expands nicely on the lore of the Wakanda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It may not necessarily be a good series, but it's definitely enjoyable. Unfortunately, there are way better ways to pass a couple of hours, and the contents of this series could quite easily be summarised in a 60-second video on YouTube or TikTok. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend it to casual fans. I'd only suggest that you watch it if you're a hardcore fan of the MCU, or you're a fan of Marvel Comics (because Episode 3 made me very happy as someone that's been a life-long fan of a particular mystical character).

I hadn't even heard about The Eyes of Wakanda until it popped up on my Disney+ dashboard. To be honest, it didn't immediately grab my attention. Given the uneven quality of recent Disney/Marvel projects, I went in with low expectations-and I couldn't have been more wrong.

The animation is absolutely stunning, hooking me from the very first frame. I'm genuinely impressed by how the creators managed to craft a compelling story across just four episodes, especially when it initially seemed like it might lack structure. While I wouldn't call it the best thing I've ever seen, it's undeniably entertaining-enough to binge all four episodes in one afternoon.

I highly recommend giving The Eyes of Wakanda a watch. It's engaging, cleverly weaves in elements of Wakandan lore, and introduces some intriguing aspects of its history in a fresh and inventive way.
