All 4 'Eyes of Wakanda' Episodes, Ranked From 'Skip It' to 'Not-So-Bad'

For some reason, Eyes of Wakanda received highly positive reviews from critics, with a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

In reality, however, the anthology miniseries is not that good – not a single episode comes close to receiving an 8 score on IMDb. To help you decide which episodes to watch and which to skip, we've ranked them from worst to best.

4. "Into the Lion's Den" – Episode 1

IMDb Score: 6.7/10

In the first episode, we are transported to 1260 BC Crete, where we witness the decline of the Minoan civilization.

Against the backdrop of fierce battles, an African girl named Noni tries to return stolen armor and weapons made of vibranium. A fugitive Wakandan general illegally took them out, and now, thanks to these technologies, he has assembled an entire army.

This episode is more introductory, allowing the viewer to get used to the animation and the world of the series. The plot of "Into the Lion's Den" is rather simple and predictable.

Verdict: Skip

3. "Legends and Lies" – Episode 2

IMDb Score: 6.8/10

In the second chapter, we are transported to the height of the Trojan War, where we meet Odysseus, Achilles, and other historical figures.

The main character is Memnon, Achilles' best friend. He hides from everyone that he is actually a Wakandan agent on a mission to retrieve an artifact from the Trojans.

The episode talks about brotherhood, friendship, and betrayal, but the overall impression is spoiled by the overly modern depiction of the Greeks and Trojans, which looks ridiculous.

Verdict: Skip

2. "Lost and Found" – Episode 3

IMDb Score: 6.9/10

The third story takes place in ancient China, where a Wakandan warrior attempts to steal a vibranium artifact from the imperial palace.

There's just one problem: the artifact is tightly screwed into a dragon figurine sacred to the Chinese. Anyone who tries to take the relic will be punished by an evil spirit.

The technologically advanced Wakandans are not afraid of curses, so the main character, Basha, brings the dragon to Wakanda.

In this episode, Marvel fans will recognize a familiar character: Iron Fist. His appearance definitely saves the third, yet again predictable episode.

Verdict: Stream

1. "The Last Panther" – Episode 4

IMDb Score: 7.1/10

The final chapter is set in 1896 Ethiopia. Young Prince Tafari and his warrior assistant hunt for a vibranium axe. They manage to get hold of it, but something strange happens to them on the way home.

Suddenly, a woman in armor appears and shows them a terrible future in which Wakanda is wiped off the face of the Earth. However, this will only happen if they complete their mission and deliver the axe to Wakanda.

"The Last Panther" is the most worth-watching episode of the whole show, thanks to its greater scope and time travel.

Verdict: Stream
