Apparently separate, yet together
I saw the first episode of this series in mid-August. It was about how Peggy Carter became a super soldier, and Steve Rogers … Iron Man from World War II. Well, it made a big impression on me, especially since the creators did not change the environment and the storyline that we know from the film too much, and yet they were able to create something completely new. I am a fan of protection and all the alternatives that DC has been creating over the years. Of course, I knew about the Marvel multiverse too, but I was never attracted to it, unless it was Spider-Man. However, here all the changes take place in the MCU itself, and even though the series is an animation, it is a full member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that’s all that happened in this series, although it happens outside the time and space of the main Avengers story. ,

However, the pinnacle ride came with the last episodes of this first season, and it’s worth knowing that they are already announcing the second. In addition to the zombie apocalypse, we got the Ultron Infinity Stones upgrade. Time travel from Endgame is a cliché that can shock preschoolers. Here, the concept of a journey through various realities will crush many a fan into an armchair. And the icing on the cake is the Guardians of the Multiversum. I will not say more, I encourage you to watch.
An audiovisual feast for fans of movies and comics

What is a strong point of this series is definitely animation. If you think that we will be dealing here with a typical comic line, then you are wrong. Marvel opted for an adult animation style while faithfully preserving the appearance of the characters that were played by the actors in the MCU movies. Some fight scenes are reminiscent of battles known more from anime than from American cartoons. Nevertheless, it all fits very well and the action is very fluid.

It is also worth mentioning the dubbing itself. It is true that the original version, i.e. the English version, lacked some key icons such as Chris Evans or Robert Downey Jr., but nevertheless almost 90% of the characters spoke with the voices of the actors who played them in the acting films. We will hear the voices of such celebrities as Kurt Russell, Toby Jones, and even Chadwick Boseman, for whom the dubbing for this film was the last opportunity to play the role of T’Challa (I do not write Black Panther, because T’Challa in this series is more than one superhero ).
What are we starting to observe?

I have been wondering for a long time what this series is supposed to be used for? And why do they make him animated? Maybe it is to be used to sell gadgets for children? After watching the entire season, I understood everything. Accumulation of action and spectacular skirmishes could cost billions of dollars, and to create this series, no computer technology would be enough to slightly modify the films that were released in 2008–2019 and thus create something fresh. Therefore, everything was focused on animation and it turned out really great. If the creators are to be believed, some elements from this series will permeate the MCU’s acting part. I’m looking forward!
