Disney+’s Divisive 4-Part MCU Series Deserves More Credit Than It Gets

For a series with only four episodes, Eyes of Wakanda has inspired a disproportionate amount of debate. Some have found that there was nothing to it; others have found that there was a grandeur in the project that was not found in previous Marvel productions, in that it allowed for a more elevated version of the story and an alternative view of the history of Wakanda, presenting it as being developed over time rather than solely during a single time period. This is not a seamless or expansive epic, and it was never trying to be, but reducing it to a minor animated side note misses what the series does well, which detractors don't allow.
