Oh, great, another Marvel cartoon 🙄. As if we didn’t have enough superhero content already. Brace yourselves, folks, because Disney+ is about to unleash *Eyes of Wakanda* upon us, a Black Panther spinoff that no one asked for. Seriously, who was clamoring for more Wakanda? Did anyone even ask for this? 🤣
This animated “masterpiece,” which has apparently been gestating for years (like a bad sci-fi experiment 🧪), will focus on Wakandan heroes throughout history, because one Black Panther isn’t enough. We need a whole army of vibranium-clad warriors to bore us with their globe-trotting adventures. Cue the eye rolls 👀.
And of course, there’s a trailer. Prepare to be underwhelmed:
Here’s the official synopsis, if you dare:
The new action-adventure series, which was produced in partnership with Proximity Media’s Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Kalia King, follows the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry-out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda. They are the Hatut Zaraze and this is their story. Featuring the voices of Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams, Zeke Alton, Steve Toussaint and Anika Noni Rose, “Eyes of Wakanda” is helmed by director/executive producer Todd Harris, a director, producer and storyboard artist who has worked on some of the world’s biggest film franchises from “John Wick” to the MCU.
Wow, that sounds… generic. Brave warriors doing dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts? Groundbreaking! 🙄 And with a voice cast longer than my grocery list 📃, it’s sure to be a symphony of mediocrity.
*Eyes of Wakanda* premieres on Disney+ on August 1, because what else are you going to watch? All four episodes will drop at once, so you can binge-watch the boredom in one glorious sitting. This show is technically the first Marvel series of Phase Six of the MCU (whatever that means), followed by *Marvel Zombies* (because zombies are still cool, right?) and *Wonder Man* (starring someone you’ve probably never heard of).
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
