The Eyes of Wakanda animated miniseries shows great promise for the MCU, but it still feels like Marvel is pulling its punches regarding representation.

In the wrong hands, Wakanda’s advanced technology and vast stores of vibranium could plunge the world into absolute chaos. Even though other countries are ill-equipped to take them on in battle, the Wakandans are careful about maintaining their secrecy.

Eyes of Wakanda.. The brainchild of long-time Marvel Studios storyboard artist Todd Harris, Eyes of Wakanda swings for the fences with an elevated mix of 2D and CG animation, luminous production design from The Princess and the Frog ’s Craig Elliott and rich art direction from The Boxtrolls ’ August Hall.
