A year before the Marvel Cinematic Universe revisits Wakanda, the animated “Eyes of Wakanda” series delves deeper into its history and significantly enhances its technological prowess. Since Chadwick Boseman first appeared as T’Challa in a vibranium-clad Black Panther suit during “Captain America: Civil War,” Wakanda has been an awe-inspiring technological marvel. For centuries, this African nation managed to remain secluded from the world, and its exclusive access to vibranium facilitated its rapid technological development. However, “Eyes of Wakanda” takes this impressive feat to another level.
The four 30-minute episodes of “Eyes of Wakanda” followed different War Dogs, or Wakanda’s covert operatives, as they undertook missions spanning history and continents to recover stolen vibranium relics and tech. This allowed Marvel to display some of Wakanda’s espionage tools and novel gadgets that were surprisingly advanced for their era, thereby significantly altering our understanding of Wakanda’s technological progression in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
In the first episode of “Eyes of Wakanda,” titled “Into the Lion’s Den,” the character Nkati (Cress Williams) is armed with a spear imbued with vibranium and has control over an advanced self-destruct mechanism, despite the narrative being set on Minoan Crete in 1260 BC. Fast forward to episode 2, “Legends and Lies,” which delved into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s interpretation of Homer’s “Odyssey,” the character War Dog B’Kai (Larry Herron) established communication with Wakanda from Ancient Troy using a Morse code device that sent messages instantly, which could be an early prototype of Wakanda’s Kimoyo Beads communicators.
In the third episode of “Eyes of Wakanda,” titled “Lost and Found,” showcased the most thrilling technological innovations. The story is set in 1400 AD, where we see the character Basha (Jacques Colimon) journey from China to Wakanda via a flying vessel. This craft, resembling a one-person glider, relied on a taut rope for braking, but it also had advanced technologies such as electronics and even tablets used for diagnostics. Furthermore, episode 3 hinted at the existence of the maglev train transporting vibranium in Wakanda as early as 1400 AD, with Basha engaging in a fight on this train against Jorani’s Iron Fist (Jona Xiao), reminiscent of how T’Challa battled Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) in the year 2018.
Absolutely, in the fourth episode of “Eyes of Wakanda,” titled “The Last Panther,” we witness the arrival of a futuristic Black Panther from 500 years ahead. This episode significantly alters our understanding of Wakanda’s history by revealing technological advancements centuries before they were commonplace in the outside world. This underscores just how much progress the world missed out on due to Wakanda’s secrecy. The implications for Wakanda in future installments like “Avengers: Doomsday,” “Avengers: Secret Wars,” “Black Panther 3,” and beyond are yet to be revealed, but these technological leaps could potentially be expanded even more.
