Wow, am I glad that I decided to review all the episodes of Marvel Zombies. Because if I had dropped out when the show fell in quality, I would’ve missed the pure spectacle that is the final part of this story. I would’ve missed where, apparently, a lot of the animation efforts went.
Marvel Zombies fell so far with this third episode. Every bad habit of the series, it seems, rushed out to the forefront, and the main thing to enjoy ends up being the gore. Not the animation—that’s often awful, full of plastic faces and stiff action scenes. The creative gore specifically makes this episode watchable.
The second part of Marvel Zombies impressed me because of how weird it is, even compared to the first episode. The series really has become the bloody, gory toy box I talked about before, where Marvel characters are put in totally new frameworks.
Considering how episodic the events of the first episode of Marvel Zombies are, it seems only fitting to review each part of this four-part mini-series on its own terms. The first episode certainly gives us a lot to talk about.
