Exploring key moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them on their heads, taking viewers into uncharted territory. Chadwick Boseman’s final Marvel project before his death. The Watcher: [Narration Reveal 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 expand into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the one 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 switches to an animated form in a performance art style. Edited by Marvel Studios: Legends: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). A very simple episode where things are rushed to fit these pieces right into the puzzle. And my facial expressions were pretty straight too, watching this episode, because there was no excitement or even a logical narrative, I get that maybe it’s a show aimed at kids? But only kids who are familiar with the entire MCU by now might be able to enjoy it. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes turn out, but after this one, I’m definitely not that excited about them. Edit: Episode 2 gave a real sense of what the MCU is all about, it was creative and thoughtful with key WHAT IF moments. I really enjoyed watching the movie T’s back on screen. However, Episode 3 ruined the deal and made me edit this review. It was so exciting and engaging to watch that I could have watched the entire movie in this episode. It re-examined our familiar characters to the point where you want more. Hopefully I’ll reach a 10 star edit by the end of the season. Edit II: Here’s another star for my “weird” 39; yet thought-provoking episode that was the best of the bunch so far in terms of writing, voice acting, animation, and plot. Special mention to Benedict Cumberbatch for making his voice amazing as the boss. Kudos to Marvel for making this series. However, as we approach episode 5, the series was definitely entertaining, it was humorous and engaging with quality animation, but at the same time, it was showing too much without giving the audience enough time to take things in. Still a 9/10 overall for the series until the next two episodes. They need to beat episode 4 to get a 10 from me.
