Let me tell you, the 2021 Marvel train has been the greatest entertainment ride I think I’ve had since January. Roughly every week feels like Christmas with a new episode of a Marvel Disney+ series or a new announcement that has managed to blow my mind. And considering that we’re getting so much Marvel content in these last few months, the joy I’ve had about this franchise that I have grown to love so much is almost unbearably intense. I find myself having to tell myself to calm down just a little bit every week because I see something new and well, I had to tell myself the same thing today when ten incredible Entertainment Weekly covers for the Eternals came out today. Here they are.
Marvel Studios just can’t seem to lose. Even with their first animated series, they still manage to elate and surprise at every turn and the same can be said about the second episode (actually the best episode so far) of What If…?
This episode features T’Challa as Star-Lord and honestly, I was not ready for all of the surprises in this episode. I found myself smiling and giggling throughout the episode’s run and when it concluded I felt a strange sense of sadness because the episode was, in fact, over even though I wanted so much more!
As a Marvel fan, this series is giving me everything I want and a little bit more. The stories are fun, the changes are thrilling, and the possibilities, thanks to Loki, are endless.
Of course, I must confront the unfortunate truth that this is Chadwick Boseman’s last performance as T’Challa. Thankfully he will lend a voice to this character for three more episodes so that’s a welcome surprise but it’s still a bit sad hearing him and seeing how awesome the character is knowing that he has, in fact, passed away. Rest in power king.
I don’t want to end this post on a somber note so I’ll leave it at this. If you think this series has the chance to be boring trust me. It isn’t. In fact, it’s really fun and worth the watch, especially if you’re missing some good Marvel entertainment.
The next two episodes are going to have me doing cartwheels. Next week’s episode will feature Loki up to whatever new shenanigans he will find for himself and the week after that we’ll be getting Doctor Strange’s episode. Honestly, I could pop just knowing that information.
All in all, another great episode from a fantastic new animated series.
I thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day.
