Exploring key moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them upside down, taking audiences into uncharted territory.. Chadwick Boseman’s final Marvel project before his death.. The Observer: [Introductory narration for each episode] Time. Room. Reality. It’s more than a linear path. It’s a prism of endless possibilities, where a choice can branch into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Observer. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and think about the question… “What if?”. Once the Marvel logo appears, it transitions into an animated form in the show’s art style. Edited at Marvel Studios: Legends: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). A very simple episode of rushing things to properly insert those pieces into the puzzle. And my facial expressions were also pretty clear while watching this episode, because there was no emotion or even a logical storyline, I get that maybe it’s an amined series aimed at kids? But only those kids who are familiar with everything MCU so far might enjoy it. We’ll see how the other episodes are, but I’m definitely not too excited about them after this one. Edit: Episode 2 gave a real idea of what the MCU is, it was creative and thoughtful with major WHAT IF moments. I really enjoyed seeing T’challa on screen. However, the third episode was a problem and forced me to edit this review. It was so thrilling and emotional to watch, I could have watched a whole movie about this episode. It re-explored the characters we know to the point where you want more. I hope to get 10 stars by the end of the season. Edit II: Here’s another star from me for the ‘weird’ but still a stimulating episode that was by far the best of the bunch in terms of writing, voice acting, animation and story. Special mention to Benedict Cumberbatch for providing the voice like a boss. Kudos to Marvel for doing that. However, up until episode 5, the episode was definitely entertaining, it was witty and engaging with quality animation, but again it showed too much at the same time, not giving viewers enough time to absorb things. It’s still a 9/10 total for the series until at least the next two episodes. It needs to beat episode 4 to get a 10 from me.
