The anticipated Marvel animated series Eyes OF Wakanda landed last Friday on Disney plus. And it landed with a thud sadly. At only four episodes, the animation is beautiful and bright but the story left a lot to be desired.
The series is anthology focused and its basic premise follows members of Wakanda's War Dogs throughout various moments in history protecting Wakanda's artifacts and secrets. It loosely connects with other MCU properties in one episode. And everything ties together and connects to the MCU again in episode four.
Which is fine and all, but it just never clicks really. And I think fan's expected something else when the series was announced. I know I for one thought we would actually get to explore Wakanda through the series. The history and the culture of this beautiful fictional land along with the technology vibranium offers them.
You know see previous Black Panthers not named T'Chaka. Or even eventually see a young T'Chaka in action. T'Chaka & N'Jobu's relationship as kids to young adults before N'Jobu left for America. Learn more about the tribes and the Jabari tribe's conflict with the rest of the country. See Wakanda defend themselves against a infiltrator. Or even how Howard Stark was able to obtain vibranium for Cap's shield during World War II.
While I can see what they were trying to do with the series. It just didn't work and I'm not sure if four episodes was the plan all along or something occured to force that change. I do hope if Ryan Coogler and Disney decide to revisit the series, they make some changes to give the people what they truly want. More Wakanda and all the stories that can be told there.
