Welcome back to the Entertainment Variance Authority, where we review comic content one branched timeline at a time. Today, we’re diving deep into Marvel’s animated anthology, “Eyes of Wakanda”, a series that somehow manages to be gorgeous, brutal, and peak-Wakandan-isolationist all at once.
We kick things off with the usual timeline shenanigans, including Nakware and J-Mac comparing their t-shirts (don’t worry, at least one of them repped Wakanda, poorly, but still). From there, we descend into a spirited debate about why Wakanda refuses to text the rest of the world back, even when vibranium is literally spilling into other countries.
Wakanda’s Eternal Isolation Era: We break down the Eyes of Wakanda timeline and question whether this nation has ever heard of “group chats” or “basic diplomacy.”
War Dogs, Mission Chaos & Beautiful Animation: We praise the anthology format for giving the War Dogs their flowers while also acknowledging that half of them probably need therapy, HR oversight, and maybe a vacation. The animation? Absolutely stunning. The missions? Absolutely unhinged.
MCU Homework Fatigue (Again): We get real about Marvel’s ongoing “you must watch 40 hours of content to understand this 20-minute story” problem.
Cultural Themes & Violence With Purpose: We discuss Wakanda’s moral contradictions—especially the whole “protect our secrets at all costs even if the cost is everything” vibe.
Humor, Chemistry & ‘Did That War Dog Really Just—?!’ Moments: We recount the action, heart, and at least one scene that had both of us shouting at the screen like two variants losing their TVA badges.
Speculation Corner (Because We Can't Help Ourselves): We connect the dots to Black Panther 3, future Wakanda stories, and potential vibranium-related chaos that could shake the sacred timeline.
In the end, we loved exploring the layered world of “Eyes of Wakanda,” from its breathtaking animation to its deeper political tension and yes—its relentless isolationism. We debate its lore, laugh at its wild mission scenarios, and try to decide whether Wakanda’s secrecy is noble, exhausting, or both.
Curious how Eyes of Wakanda reshapes the MCU, expands Wakanda’s mythos, and reminds us that this nation still refuses to share the Wi-Fi password? Tune in now to see whether Eyes of Wakanda gets pruned…or if it earns a permanent spot on the Sacred Timeline.
