Exploring pivotal moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them on their heads, taking audiences into uncharted territory. Chadwick Boseman’s final Marvel project before his death. The Watcher: [Narration of each episode] Time. Space. Reality. It’s more than a linear journey. It’s a prism of infinite possibilities, where a single choice can branch into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the worlds 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 was revealed, it transitioned into animated form in the show’s art style. Edited for Marvel Studios: Legends: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). A very straightforward episode about the rush of things to put these pieces into the puzzle. And my expression was pretty straight when I watched this episode as there was no excitement or even logical storytelling, I get that this is a kid-oriented, action-packed show? But maybe only kids who know all the MCU by now will enjoy it. Let’s see how the rest of the episodes turn out, but I’m definitely not too excited after this. Edit: Episode 2 gave an actual feel for what the MCU is all about, it was creative and thoughtful with major WHAT IF moments. I really enjoyed seeing T&Challa on screen again. Episode 3, however, broke the deal and edited that opinion. It was so exciting and thrilling to watch that I could have watched an entire movie in this episode. It re-examined the characters we know to a level that left me wanting more. I hope to reach a 10 star edit by the end of the season. II. edit: I have another star here for a ‘weird’ yet thought-provoking episode that was by far the best of the bunch in terms of writing, voice acting, animation and storyline. Special mention goes to Benedict Cumberbatch who voiced it like a boss. Kudos to Marvel for making this happen. However, coming to episode 5, the episode was definitely entertaining, humorous and had quality animation, but at the same time it showed too much and didn’t give the viewers enough time to take it in. Still a 9/10 overall for the series at least until the next two episodes. They need to beat episode 4 to get a 10 from me.
