This animated series is great!
Comparing to other Marvel series made by Disney ... this one definitely takes a beating in scripting and animation.

Marvel's What If is their first attempt at an animation show. "What If...? explores the various alternate timelines of the multiverse in which major moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films occur differently". So does What If deliverMarvel's What If is their first attempt at an animation show. "What If...? explores the various alternate timelines of the multiverse in which major moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films occur differently". So does What If deliver a fascinating multiverse tale or is it just whatever? WARNING: SLIGHT SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!

Firstly, I love the concept of the show. I am a sucker for the multiverse idea so Marvel's What If exploring the consequence of one small change in MCU movies was very intriguing. Some of the ideas they pick are great as well such as Doctor Strange losing his love instead of his hand, what if Ultron won and even a full-on zombie episode. The Doctor Strange episode (episode 4) is an honestly amazing story and is the one that manages to pack the most punch. It tells a more emotional story than the actual film does.

I also think bringing back the actual MCU actors to return and voice for the show was great. Special mention to Chadwick Boseman (R.I.P 2020) who gives a great voice performance as a more cocky T'Challa Star-Lord. It makes the alternate realities still genuinely feel like it was a branch of the mainline MCU. Unfortunately, they couldn't bring back everyone from movies but the ones that are doing impersonations are still good; for the most part. However, the actual MCU actors returning to voice feel stiff in their performance. It is clear voice actor isn't their forte as they lack a lot of tone and emotion in their scenes. Additionally, the animation can feel awkward and clunky; especially in non-action scenes. The length of each episode is 30 minutes and they are mostly standalone stories. The problem is that the length is not enough to get us invested in the world they are telling. It also leads to rushed pacing as they have to spend time introducing the world and change while also telling a compelling story in just half an hour. Furthermore, most of the episodes are genuinely forgettable or just wasted. None of the episodes apart from Doctor Strange (Episode 4) and Ultron (Episode 8) are that memorable. In terms of wasted ideas, Episode 1 has Peggy Carter get the super-soldier serum but the story ends up being the same as Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Episode 6 has Killmonger save Tony but just results in him speedrunning to Black Panther. Episode 7 has Thor be an only child and that somehow makes him party a lot. The writers could've done any idea but they wasted it on party Thor. There is also a lot of awkward humour that ruin the moment in each episode. This is especially noticeable in the zombie episode which is probably the darkest timeline. However, characters are constantly making quips and jokes even when a character dies. The goofy nature ruined that episode. The story does build up to a "Guardians of the Multiverse" by the final episode. However, the team chosen is awful and is being carried by Doctor Strange. Also, why on Earth would they get Party Thor instead of a more serious Thor is beyond me. They also do Tony Stark and Thanos dirty in this series by having Tony Stark be inadequate and making Thanos such a weakling. The series also does things that I feel would be disproven from the MCU movies. For Example, Thanos struggling in battle makes no sense when he was able to take down Hulk without any stones.

Overall, Marvel's What If is an interesting experiment by Marvel. It is the most Comic Booky thing they did that is not necessary viewing at it doesn't lead to anything. The stories themselves are very flawed and tends to contradict the MCU rules and power levels. However, if you can suspend your disbelief and try not to question everything; then it can be an enjoyable binge watch. It's a show made for the more serious MCU fans and there is nothing wrong with a little extra MCU stuff before the big movies and show come out.… Expand

The MCU has largely been successful because it has followed the spirit of the comics. How disappointing this series has been. Their goal seems to be to telling mediocre versions of the same stories they've already told. Most of the characterizations are inane. The plots are silly--so Ultron with the Infinity Stones is really just a tougher version of the regular Ultron rather than the post powerful being of the universe, and Tony Stark, his inventor, was apparently not important enough to be asked to join the team to defeat him? Since these are animated stories with endless possibilities, why not introduce some of the other hundreds of awesome Marvel characters? I have been a big fan of the MCU since its inception. I really do fear they are losing their way.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Maybe ”What If…?” is not what some fans have expected. But unreasonable hate towards the show is a dead end. Just try to be fair and give it a try.
The first episode was kinda too fast for me, but c’mon, we don’t have much time to waste! Captain Carter’s fascinating action sequences and Steve Rogers’s fair portrayal (even without the super-soldier serum he is that pure Brooklyn guy) really levels the first episode up. Just don’t point your finger at Peggy’s feminism. Yep, she is a strong & brave woman, but hey, she’s not there alone. She fights alongside with her buddies, like Steve or Bucky. Try to give constructive feedback to this episode & the others!… Expand

Gonna start off by saying I don't care for superheroes. I didn't even see Endgame yet. But I do enjoy a good story, and I've enjoyed superhero movies (or shows) in the past.

But the first Episode of this is pretty bad, story wise. Maybe that's what happens when you cram 90 minutes of movie into 30 minutes. But this was rushed and poorly executed. The writting is, to put bluntly, atrocious.

The only thing that saves this from being absolutely horrible is the graphical animation. It really does feel like something else, imo. It's clearly 3D, but It is the most high quality show i've seen done 3d. You usually see this kind of quality in a Shrek movie or something, idk.

It is a pleasure to look at. Feel free to mute it, though.

Don't even know where to begin with the writting. The General, Stark Senior, Bucky, literally everybody who opens their mouth during the entire thing. It's hard to believe their lines were written by humans who went outside and experienced, through direct soundwaves, bits of human interaction. It's almost as if a neural network was fed the Captain America movie script along with various dialogue snippets from comedic-relief characters from various unfunny 90s comedies.

Mediocre.… Expand

Cela étant, on se rend vite compte de ce qui cloche… à savoir l’univers crétin des marvelleries merdveilleuses au service de ses agendas SJW (féminisme imbécile, LGBGT, minorités insérées et étalées devant le spectateur de façon majoritaire au forceps et ainsi de suite…). Les petites histoires racontées ici sont bêtes et visent un jeune public, le public niais des produits Disniais… évidemment.

En conséquence de quoi, on se fait chier à la vitesse de la lumière dans cette série-étron malgré -pourtant- un nombre d’épisodes limité (9 en tout) et une durée d’environ 30 minutes à chaque fois : un comble !

Alors, la question fort légitime se pose, celle que tout le monde se pose : et si… et si Marvel arrêtait de faire de la merde sous l’égide niaise de Disniais ?!… et si Marvel faisait une pause ? en allant se faire foutre par exemple. Mais c’est juste une suggestion comme ça…… Expand

But woof, that first episode was a doozy. With a half hour runtime, the idea to essentially rewrite the entirety of the first Captain America film and cram it into 1/4th the space makes the whole thing feel VERY rushed. Moments that need time to breathe just whiz on by, and all there seems to be time for are really stale, phoned-in one-liners for Sebastian Stan’s Bucky and Dominic Cooper’s Howard Stark. And boy, are the lines bad. In fact, the dialogue throughout is stilted, devoid of laughs (that doesn’t stop the show from trying though!), and leans so heavily on repeated callbacks to the live-action films that it feels more like bad fan-fiction than an actual Marvel product. I’m shocked the studio let these scripts go into production like this. We get it, Peggy owes Rogers a dance. Steve is just a kid from Brooklyn. Can they talk about anything else that we haven’t already seen dozens of times?

Here’s hoping subsequent episodes rebound and find their groove, because this first episode was nothing more than a poorly written feminist power fantasy. As cringey and eyerolling as that whole thing often is, I can tolerate such content when written well. But when it’s written poorly, with a tropey, two dimensional (ha) woman-hating general with zero sense and super transparent, one-note motives, it becomes a very difficult watch. Outside of Loki and Falcon/Winter Soldier, Marvel has churned out some pretty terrible stuff as of late. Fingers crossed the trend doesn’t continue.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic animation and voice acting ranging from passable to masterful (given that many actors reprise their original roles and the soundalike actors for those who do not are carefully chosen), but the episodes suffer from rushed runtime which seems better spent by giving the episodes longer hour-length runtimes, and character assassination - as has been the case with a lot of Disney-Marvel productions lately. We are 2 episodes in now, and in each episode a character makes a ridiculous and unfitting decision in order to drive the plot forward.

In episode 1, The Red Skull carelessly summons a monster from beyond Earth in the hopes that it will serve Hydra, but is instantly crushed to death by it. Despite being both Captain America's equal in strength and superior in cleverness, he is killed instantly by a handful of tentacles from this monster, while Captain Carter (the equivalent to Cpt. America in this episode) proceeds to shove the entire creature's body back into the portal it came from using only her own body. A massive plot contrivance which breaks established lore in order to support the character. Furthermore, the process which elevates Peggy Carter to the status of SuperSoldier is apparently waved off as "not much different to the usual medical checkups", which makes absolutely no sense for a serum which is meant to enhance muscle mass and bone density, and had Steve Rogers screaming in pain for minutes in his own reality. This I'm less hung up on; there COULD be an argument as to how a woman with more experience in the army would be able to endure an enhancement procedure like this, but it is still worrying.

In Episode 2, Yondu chooses to kidnap an unfamiliar child from Earth despite knowing fully that even kidnapping Peter Quill (the boy he was SUPPOSED to take) is a massive betrayal to the honor code of the Ravagers and could put him in serious danger with a world-destroying being. In this case, he instead chooses to kidnap T'challa and ignore the fact that his relatives are ready for space travel and are dedicated to finding him, and we later find out he lies to T'challa that they are dead and gone only because he enjoys having him aboard his own ship. Shortly after, we are supposed to believe that T'challa was able to stop Thanos from galaxy-spanning genocide not by killing him, but by arguing that the universe's resources could be divided among the worlds to prevent destruction. This is an argument that must have been made to Thanos before and, by his own reasoning in the MCU, would only stave off the universe's inevitable destruction - not halt it. Then Thanos proceeds to bend the knee to both Yondu and T'challa as his superior officers, which is utterly impossible for someone who is as egotistical as Thanos. Finally, Thanos ends up thrown in a prison cell by The Collector, a man who was killed by Thanos in the MCU films after they met - and then nearly killed by two characters who were shown to be his servants in the films. It's nothing short of stunning in the worst possible way.

Congratulations, Marvel. You have assassinated three characters if not four, in the span of two episodes.

Ultimately this is a sign that the people in charge of Marvel's productions are more interested in empowering the heroes by breaking the strength and morals of the supporting cast, rather than telling a cohesive story that tells a genuine conflict of personalities. It's a sign that they believe that people only care about seeing the hero win, and not about how they reach that victory or how important strengths, weaknesses, values, beliefs and conviction are in that process.… Expand

You get homages, humor, serious topics, interesting ideas and character development. While I see no truly garbage episode not all are amazing and one is borderline. I saw many hating the episode and even while I who liked the humor found it a bit too cheesy. However it ends pretty amazing as the penultimate episode was an incredible experience and got us hyped for the final. The final delivered and I say these two episodes increase my rating. The “What if” concept in Marvel comics is quite old and interesting as it gives ultimate creative freedom as you have not to take care of continuity, character behavior or expectations but could do it also if you want. The sky is the limit as all possibilities are open and there are countless good stories. As I said there is no overall theme here so I give you a small oversight about the episodes. The stories are told by Uatu the Watcher. He is part of an alien race that is highly advanced and does not interfere as this caused a great disaster in the past made out of noble intentions. Episode 1 asks what if Captain Carter were the first avenger. It is closely related to the first Captain America movie with twists and is a good start. Episode 2 What if T’Challa became Star Lord is an amazing homage to Chadwick Boseman. This is exactly what I wanted for a final role. It has also humor and twists that I really enjoyed. Some say it is an insult to Peter Quill but I disagree. What if the world lost its mightiest heroes is an excellent Whodunit with a great final that I want to see continued as it was amazing. Episode 4 ask what if doctor Strange has lost his heart instead of his hands. Amazing story, character study, development and a conclusion I did not think they would do something like this. Episode 5: Of cause they had to do a what if Zombies as the Marvel Zombies are quite popular and intense. Wont say more except that it is a good episode. Episode 6 deals with what if Killmonger rescued Tony Stark. I see this as hit and miss. It works well but I think they could do more with it. Sounds maybe to negative as it is definitely not bad. Episode 7 what if Thor was an only child is the borderline episode I spoke about. It has humor but left a bit of a bad taste. Feels also a bit out of place compared to the other episodes. Episode 8 what if Ultron won is amazing I wont spoil anything. It impressed everyone who I spoke to and is a highlight. The final episode which I will not even give the title is a well done final act. Overall this was enjoyable and I hope to see more. While not perfect it was entertaining and felt like a bit of fresh air and ideas.… Expand
