I’m pleasantly surprised by Mavel’s What If…?

After loving No Way Home, I decided to finally check out Marvel’s What If…?
It’s pretty dope. I like the art and the fact that they ended up using the likeness and voice of most of the heroes.
There’s some pretty good episodes, they’re all just about a half hour and I think, at this point, they may actually be cannon.
Anyone else checked it out yet?
 
I haven’t. I’m honestly experiencing Marvel fatigue. Also, outside of WandaVision, everything Marvel I’ve watched on Disney+ has been garbage.

What If was kinda fun, even if the stories had a mostly similar vibe of nihilistic doom and gurl power. Other than maybe the Dr strange one I didn't think they really explored truly interesting variations of MCU characters.

The doctor strange one might be a prequel to the next movie, I think.

Did you check out Loki? I had low expectations/zero interest, but my friend suggested I watch it. I liked it better than the other Marvel shows I watched.

I was also really pleasantly surprised by What if ...?

I was really excited for the idea but it turns out really great. The last episode was fire ! Love the animation all along the show

I find the Marvel/Disney+ TV shows quite good so far, especially Wandavision and Loki (the best so far). Falcon and Winter Soldier was meh.

I have to check Hawkeye now.

I am mixed about What If, I actually turned it off. This thread is inspiring me to check out the final episode though - the animation is really impressive. Wandavision was interesting and then just got annoying for me, left a bad taste in my mouth (I still have problems with how they played that out). Falcon I've never bothered looking at, it just sounds uninteresting to me (although I do like Falcon as a character in the MCU). Hawkeye was not bad, I guess better than I expected but ultimately kinda forgettable. So yeah, Loki was tops for me!

I went into it with the lowest of low expectations and still found myself disappointed with all but the Dr Strange episode. The show was just so badly done. Even that single good Strange episode would have benefited from better writing and a better animation style.

Part of What if being cool is having good "what if" concepts...this is a woke list primarily for females, children or new Marvel fans. If you actually have any memory of the original What If's you would consider this list exactly what it is, the last time we'll see a Marvel What If


"What If... Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?" - Nonsuper hero Woke tale - go fuck yourself
"What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?" - Why?
"What If... the World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?" - They lose their mightiest heroes all the time
"What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?" - Apparent tie in to spiderman, still not an interesting take
"What If... Zombies?!" - No thanks
"What If... Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?" - Actually interesting if the above 5 didn't make me already tune out
"What If... Thor Were an Only Child?" - The best Asgardian character in Loki wouldn't exist....shitty
"What If... Ultron Won?" - He already has multiple times
"What If... the Watcher Broke His Oath?" - also already happened
