The Watcher: [Opening narration for 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 instead of 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?» The Marvel logo appears, transformed into an animated form in the show’s art style. Edited by: Marvel Studios: Legends: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). A very simple episode about the rush of things to put these pieces into the right place in the puzzle. And my expression was pretty straight while watching the episode, as there was no emotion or even logical narration, I understand that this is an animated show that is maybe for kids, but only kids who know the entire MCU by now, for example, will enjoy it. Let’s see how the rest of the episodes turn out, but I’m definitely not too excited after this. Edit: The second episode gave a real sense of what the MCU is all about, it was creative and thoughtful with some great WHAT IF moments. I really enjoyed seeing T’Challa on screen again. The third episode was defining though, and made me want to edit this review. It was so exciting and thrilling to watch that I could have watched an entire movie in this episode. It rediscovered the characters we know on such a level that it left me wanting more. I hope to reach a 10 star rating by the end of the season. Edit II: Here’s my extra star for an "alien" A thought-provoking episode that was by far the best in terms of script, voice acting, animation, and plot. Special mention goes to Benedict Cumberbatch who nailed the voice acting like a boss. Shout out to Marvel for doing that. However, by episode five, the episode was definitely entertaining, funny, and engaging with quality animation, but again, it showed too much at once, not giving viewers enough time to take it all in. Overall, it’s still a 9/10 for the series, at least until the next two episodes. You’ll have to get past episode 4 to get a 10 from me.
