Episode #1.1

Once again, Marvel confuses sarcasm and snark for relatable dialogue. Half the lines are pop culture references.

The accents are offensively bad.

The art is gorgeous, but the animation looks like the shoddy web cartoons of 2004.

The script tries very hard to force emotional moments between characters who are more cardboard cutouts, than characters.

Cool concept that's unfortunately thrown off by really weird pacing and pretty awful writing. The character dialogue feels really awkward and stilted, almost like nobody acknowledges or cares that they're in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. There's also something off about the animation, with uncanny valley facial expressions and some pretty poor animations (I noticed a few scenes where characters aren't even animated, just frozen in place like a glitched asset) While it has a couple of good moments, most of this episode is just meh, which is really disappointing as the concept of a MCU zombie apocalypse is a great idea, but the final product is a poorly written, schizophrenic mishmash of an episode.

Bonus star for the sword fight.

It's rare to turn on the first episode of a series only to find that it is already neck deep in off-screen lore. But that's what makes it the perfect analogy for the MCU.

This first episode is a convoluted mess of characters the story doesn't bother to introduce or develop. Did you miss Moon Knight, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Ironheart, Black Widow, Thunderbolts, Ant-Man 2, or the Blade Trilogy? Then you're out of luck.

This show would have to be absolutely incredible to require that much homework. It's mediocre at best.

And I won't even touch on the absolute slip-tier Marvel humour that this whole disaster is dripping in.

These animators could've been making something cool. Instead, they were stuck doing this. Shame.
