    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    Update: Episode 3 is another winner! Seriously, it has callbacks to Die Hard and other Christmas classics and is really a joy.

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    The new season started last night, and I enjoyed it very much. It was such a tribute to Blade Runner that I thought I was watching some long-lost footage from that movie. The animation was beautiful. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. Update: Second episode also great. And an...

    Maybe, but people were saying the same thing about Echo not being up to Marvel standards, and the reviews of it have been very good.

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    Interesting that they are releasing one episode per day for nine days. With Echo in January, they are releasing all 6 episodes at once. You can’t say Disney isn’t trying new things. Anyway, I liked season 1, so I will definitely catch season 2.

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    Great season finale! I really enjoyed this season, even if it had its ups and downs. I know there has been some complaints about focusing on the characters in the MCU when you have the whole Marvel Universe to choose from, but we have to remember that the likenesses of the actors for roles that...

    This week’s Thor episode is a delight, engaging and funny, with loads of celebrity voices. If Love and Thunder is as good as this, it’ll be great.

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    I enjoyed this episode (not so much the zombie one) but it did end while begging the question of what happens next. I think less time should be spent recreating moments from the films and more time devoted to examining what happens when those key moments deviate.

    Hmm... isn't that the power stone? Seen in Guardians of the Galaxy?

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    I thought it was good. The animation was even better than previous episodes. At times, I thought I was watching live-action actors. I always appreciate these stories that turn out like a Twilight Zone episode, and this one did (as did many of the old What If stories, if memory serves).

    I enjoyed episode 3. It reminded me of the old What If series from the 70s, and I wonder if the germ of the idea for this one came from here:

    I enjoyed this one a lot. I agree Bautista was missed, but I was impressed with all the movie talent they had on hand for this one.

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    That was one of the motifs of the original comic series from 1977 — the other being that that nothing is the same and the wheels come off the bus. I’m relying on memories from 40 years ago, but those are the two ways the stories went.

    Disney+ Marvel's What If?

    I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of What If. I loved the animation. Always great to have Hayley Atwell back (I still wish they’d give Agent Carter a season three). Looking forward to everything this series brings.

    What’s interesting is that I initially thought this was just going to be a fun installment in Marvel’s TV programming, but now I see that it absolutely ties into their multiverse narrative that’s happening in Phase 4.
