Similar What if…?Present Eyes of Wakanda Slightly hard into the fantastic and remixes parts of the larger McU canon, so that it comes across as with Marvel-recognized fan fiction. However, the new series offers much stronger pictures, and each of its four episodes tells independent stories that have far more differentiated ideas about justice and morality. And after so many films and series about the multiverse, Eyes of Wakanda It's a good memory of how pleasant Marvel's projects can be when the studio brings its stories to earth.
While there is a certain level of connective tissue between its episodes, Eyes of Wakanda Zoom in a row of very different, crucial moments from the history of the nation. The series begins in the late 13th century, at a time when it is widely understood in Wakanda how important it is that outsiders remain in the dark about the existence of the kingdom.
In the wrong hands, the advanced technology of Wakanda and the huge vibranium transactions could immerse the world into absolute chaos. Although other countries are poorly equipped to take them in combat, the Wakandans make sure that they maintain their secrecy. But they recognize the value of knowing what is happening all over the world, which is why they recruit people like Noni (Winnie Harlow), a failed Dora Milaje to become war dogs – employees who carry out hidden missions beyond Wakanda's borders.
While Eyes of Wakanda Most of his leads presented in a heroic light. It is clear that Showrunner Todd Harris is interested in using the series to ask the ethical effects of Wakanda's approach on StateCraft. In the earliest days of the existence of the war dogs as an organization, they represent a very real fear of what could happen if Wakanda and his creations were discovered. A few stolen Wakandan Tech are everything a traitor (Cress Williams) needs to convince foreigners that he is a god who has a right to enslave mortals. But over time, the missions of the war dogs to regain lost vibranium artifacts will rather become self-centered quests after fame than to protect the world. It is not always clear that what they do sounds moral, and there are several cases in which the emotional entanglements of employees with outsiders put almost all of them in danger.
Because it is a series about highly qualified warriors Eyes of Wakanda Is a more brutal touch than Marvel's former Disney Plus series. The show is peppered with blood-dirty action sequences in which characters are mutilated and, in a remarkable case, are killed with an ax on the head. But there are also elements of mood that are woven throughout – especially in an episode in ancient Greece that develops like an interpolation of The song of the Achilles.
As opposed to What if…?What focused on the expansion of Marvel's multiverse, Eyes of Wakanda If more energy is being emphasized Real African history that were inspired Black pantherLore. However, there are still many survival-sized science fiction zanicity that prevent things from becoming too dry. Of all the youngest animated anthology projects that are currently streaming streaming, Eyes of Wakanda actually feels most like Hulus Predator: murderer of the murderer In the way things keep it short and sweet before it brings the whole circle. It ensures a solid piece of Marvel storytelling – the way the studio probably wants to make more of trying to prioritize the quality from quantity.
Eyes of Wakanda Lynn Whitfield, Jona Xiao, Steve Toussaint, Anika Noni Rose, Patricia Belcher and Gary Anthony Williams also play. All four episodes now stream on Disney Plus.
