Marvel Zombies
Way better than I expected, but this really should’ve been a movie. The story really kept me on the edge the whole time. They nailed the horror/despair vibe and would’ve made a perfect October release. That said, some things bugged me. Wanda is always the villain now and always more overpowered than ever. Same with Thanos suddenly being way stronger here than in the films, which doesn’t make much sense since he was zombified. I’m not a huge fan of the Disney marvel animation style and the establishing shot, pause, then jump scare style thing they were using was good at first but then just got repetitive. Character choices were a little weird too. Why are Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, and Riri Williams the last ones standing while the OG Avengers drop like flies? I will admit though, I liked seeing more of these Phase 4/5 characters interact, even ones I didn’t expect to care about. Their dynamic worked better than I thought, and it actually got me curious about their futures in the MCU. The visuals had some great moments, the horror elements worked, and the comedy was still thrown in at unnecessary moments. Marvel proved they can do horror now I just wish they’d commit instead of edging us.
