The second episode dives headfirst into myth and delivers something both unexpected and surprisingly moving.
Legends and Lies retells the story of the Trojan War, but with a Wakandan twist. Memnon, known here as B’Kai, is a Wakandan War Dog embedded among the Greeks, fighting alongside Achilles until his loyalty to Wakanda tears them apart. Their final confrontation isn’t just epic, it’s tragic, and the emotional punch lands hard.
This episode dials back the action slightly to make room for something deeper. It’s about duty, betrayal, and the cost of serving two masters. The scenes between Memnon and Achilles feel personal, like something ripped out of The Winter Soldier, only soaked in ancient sorrow. The use of early vibranium tech is a cool touch, showing how far ahead Wakanda has always been.
This episode proves Eyes of Wakanda isn’t just about cool fight scenes and artifact retrieval. It’s about legacy and conflict on a deeply human level.
