The character designs are all visually striking, with exaggerated facial features presented at extreme angles, and every person clearly delineated from one another, no matter their background or how prominent they are in the story. And the fight scenes — of which there are thankfully many — are fluid, clear, and thrilling.
-
With its imaginative machinations and gorgeously giddy action, Marvel Animation and Proximity Media deliver on the promise of the wider world of Wakanda.
-
It feels like a short, sweet, and simple addition to this expansive universe that's easy for both hardcore and casual fans to jump into.
-
Director/executive producer Todd Harris emphasizes the action and does it with style to spare for each of these exciting, briskly told tales united by the actions of a secret Wakanda group called the Hatut Zaraze.
-
Eyes Of Wakanda is a thought-provoking, entertaining glimpse past Wakanda’s curtain. And its four brisk episodes are the right lengths for what is largely an exercise in retroactive world-building.
-
Despite its compact length, “Eyes of Wakanda” is a solid beginning for Marvel’s Phase Six.
-
Eyes Of Wakanda can definitely drag at times, but the lively action sequences, well-done animation, and the moral dilemmas faced by the stories’ antagonists make the anthology worth watching.
-
The first and last episodes are the strongest, while the middle two are less memorable. But even the weaker episodes are a pleasure to look at, thanks to their vibrant colors, luminous production design, and rich art direction.
-
There are nice nods to other aspects of Marvel at large, and the series wraps up neatly in episode 4. However, Eyes of Wakanda is in no way required viewing for the MCU.
-
Without a popular hero to lead with, Eyes Of Wakanda instead relies on the infinite potential of the Wakandan brand to great effect; the result is beautifully crafted but feels somewhat incomplete.
-
In an era where Marvel projects are routinely dinged for being too long, here’s one that’s not long enough — that’s over just as it feels like it’s finding its rhythm. That may not be the worst problem, but it does mean this debut season plays more like a prologue than the next great chapter of the MCU.
