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.

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.

I'm not a huge fan of anthologies, especially spinoffs, yet this one is surprisingly solid. The animation style is really awesome & in the vain of throwback 2D Disney art. The stories do some interesting things with this country to build out their impact in the MCU. The historical fiction is exciting to have woven into this franchise. Not necessary but a fun little project that is better than most Marvel Animation.

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).

The series presents 4 episodes of Watchdogs, Wakandan field agents that go out into the world across different times and places, to recover the technology that has somehow left their secure and hidden land. For example, showing how Wakanda assisted the invasion of Troy.

It is a beautiful-looking short series, that offers little of interest. The action is good, but the delivery of the lines doesn't match the energy presented. The "missions" have a few elements (like other characters from the comics) that are basically required to bring some kind of excitement.. but even still, these stories can be willfully ignored by fans without losing anything at all.

If you have time to spare, I'd recommend it. As an MCU fan, I personally couldn't care less aside from the colorful visuals.
