Eyes of Wakanda

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.

Eyes of Wakanda stands out as a visually stunning and emotionally rich expansion of the MCU, and honestly, I'm baffled at the wave of unwarranted 1 stars it's already receiving. This show is breathtaking-not just in its animation but in its ambition. If you're hearing it's "not worth your time," check that noise at the door and experience it yourself.

From the first episode, it hits like a moving painting: episode one is often described as "premiere energy at its finest," which sets a gripping tone that carries you through all four stories . From ancient Ethiopia to mythic Crete, its painterly, hand-drawn visuals create a style that's rich and textured-no wonder critics have compared it to art brought to life, calling it "moving painting" worthy of a museum .

The show packs action, heart, and culture into tight 30-minute chapters. Characters like Noni and the Lion offer complicated, emotional storytelling, while episode three's ancient Iron Fist arc adds unexpected depth and connectivity to Marvel's broader history . Though some stories feel a bit rushed due to limited runtime, moments shine with real emotional stakes and world-building ambition.

If you've listened to the hype-either good or bad-give yourself a clean slate. Watch Eyes of Wakanda without the internet drama in your ears. You'll find a show that's loud in its beauty, grounded in its themes, and courageous in its storytelling.

Rating: 8/10. Gorgeous, bold, thoughtful, and absolutely deserving of praise. Don't let the noise drown out what this show truly is-it's a rare gem in Marvel's parade.

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.
