Season 2 Review:
What If…? hasn’t lost any of its sense of fun, and its bizarre MCU mash-ups are cleverer than before. But the show’s gradual reveal of an overarching storyline is starting to become too predictable. .... It’s nothing that a Marvel fan should turn their nose up at just yet, but it is more of a “try to act surprised” holiday gift than a “how did you know?!” holiday gift.

Season 2 Review:
What If…? Starts its second season on an unexpectedly strong note. While the series is clearly in no rush to continue the overarching storyline that connected the episodes of season 1, it does succeed in giving us a satisfying standalone episode featuring Karen Gillan’s Nebula playing in a Blade Runner-influenced sandbox. The central detective mystery fueling this episode may fall a bit flat, but the action, humor, and general tone more than make up for any shortcomings.

Season 1 Review:
"What If...?" might be the most Marvel Comics thing that Marvel Studios has done, translating the what-might-have-happened-if comic-book concept from page to screen, with all its geekiness intact. The highly stylized animation and access to key actors enhances the fun, creating an extremely logical Disney+ add-on to an increasingly packed multi-verse.

Season 2 Review:
What If...? is trying to both have its cake and eat it too. That's not to say the season is not enjoyable. It's a lot of fun, and several of the episodes are rich and compelling, making me wish the whole season was just that. It's frustrating, however, when the potential for it to be just that much greater is visible but seems to be lying just out of reach.

Season 1 Review:
It’s fun simply because the level of quality control at Marvel is pretty high these days (give or take that Falcon and the Winter Soldier finale), and because some of the ideas are either inherently appealing or are used to cleverly tweak what we know from the films. But not every installment lives up to the title’s seemingly limitless potential.
