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 Watcher: [Introductory narration for each episode] Time. Room. Reality. It’s more than a linear path. It’s a prism of infinite possibilities, where one choice can morph into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds to the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question… “What if?” Once the Marvel logo appears, it transitions to an animated form in the series’ art style. Edited in Marvel Studios’ Leyendas: Guardians of the Multiverse (2023). I enjoyed the first season more than the second. The first season had a propulsive narrative force rooted in the Ultron-Watcher storyline that made for a satisfying finale. The second season didn’t have the same overall plot, as the episodes felt a lot more disconnected from each other. I did enjoy some episodes, especially the first one with Nebula joining the Nova Corps, as I felt it had a very punk sci-fi vibe that I picked up on. I also loved the episode about Hela and the 10 Rings. I felt it did a good job of essentially mimicking the plot of the first Thor movie but with Hela as the main protagonist. I enjoyed a lot of the action in the second season, but the pacing of both seasons is very fast. This is understandable, as they’re trying to cram the entire story into 30 minutes. Plus, the pacing is so fast that the show doesn’t give you a break to catch your breath and immerse yourself in the different story beats… especially the more dramatic ones. Overall, I felt like the second season was more boring than I had hoped. The first season was rated an 8, but I’ll be downgrading the series as a whole to a 7 after finishing the second.
