Exploring pivotal moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them on their head, taking audiences into uncharted territory. Chadwick Boseman’s final Marvel project before his death. The Watcher: [Opening narration for each episode] Time. Space. Reality. It’s more than a linear path. It’s a prism of infinite possibilities, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds than the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question… “What if?” After the Marvel logo appears, it changes to an animated form in the show’s art style. Edited in Marvel Studios: Legends: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). A very straightforward episode of rushing things along to fit those pieces into the puzzle. And my facial expressions were also pretty blunt while watching this episode as there was no emotion or even logical narration, I understand that it’s an animated show targeted at kids maybe, but only those kids who are familiar with the entire MCU so far might be able to enjoy it. Let’s see how the rest of the episodes turn out, but I’m certainly not too excited for them after this one. Edit: The second episode gave the real feel of what MCU is all about, it was creative and thoughtful with some great WHAT IF moments. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing T’Challa back on screen. However, the third episode was a make or break and made me edit this review. It was so thrilling and exciting to watch, I could have watched an entire movie just on this episode. It re-explored the characters we know to a level that leaves you wanting more. I hope to get to a 10 star edit by the end of the season. Edit II: Here goes my one more star for a “stranger” Thought-provoking episode that was by far the best of the lot in terms of writing, dubbing, animation, and plot. Special mention to Benedict Cumberbatch for nailing the dubbing like a boss. Shoutout to Marvel for making this one. However, coming into episode five, the episode was entertaining for sure, it was funny and engaging with quality animation, but again it showed too much at the same time that it didn’t give viewers enough time to absorb things. It’s still a 9/10 overall for the series until the next two episodes at least. You guys have to get past episode 4 to get a 10 from me.
