What If...?

This is fun. I am enjoying every story.

Not all episodes are as good but overall it's worth it.

(The doctor strange episode for example was exceptional).

If you are a Marvel fan, you will probably like it, for these -and many more- following reasons:

1-Happy to hear all the voices from the MCU actors. Makes the starting titles interesting; you d wanna see who's in it.

2-The stories are captivating. There's some comedy, action, drama; a good range.

3-There's some great one-liners. New ones and also memorable ones.

4-The pace of each of the episodes is excellent. It really gets you into the story.

5-It does great tribute to MCU's pivotal points.

Give it a go, you will enjoy it.

8/10.

Talk about potential wasted. In a world where literally anything is available for them to do... They ran out of cool stories after the first season. The first season had fun, exciting, interesting stories - with our favourite marvel characters doing awesome things. Then the second season came along and they chose to focus on lame characters, and "what if's" that were no longer meaningful or interesting to watch. For a 30 min show things felt slow for much of each episode. Many of the episodes felt skippable and I had to resist zoning out. Where's more of the "zombie" level of What Ifs? That was crazy and wild. That's the kind of What If scenarios I wanted to see.

The first season was great, and I had previously given the overall score a 9 - particularly as a result of a few memorable episodes, namely the Doctor Strange, Zombies, and two finales.

The second season was very forgettable. Watchable at best, but I wouldn't watch again, or want to. If I were to rate this again, I would probably give it a 5 or 6/10.

I am 2 episodes into the 3rd season and I'm really not sure I can be bothered to watch anymore, so I am changing my overall review down to a 3. The first series has bumped it up from a minus something or other.

I would say it's a bit like how Marvel has gone so far down hill since the infinity saga began. Season 1 of What If was very much like the Infinite Saga. Season 2, comparable to the 'meh' films that followed like The Marvels, and so far in season 3, I feel like I've just been made to watch Madam Webb. Whether it's Disney or Sony, it's all Marvel and as sad as I am that the amazing Stan has left us, I am glad that he didn't have to see this downfall.

Sorry Disney, but next time the renewal is due, I think that's enough of this subscription.

I enjoyed the first season more than the second. The first season had a propulsive narrative force anchored by the Ultron-Watcher storyline that made for a satisfying finale. The second season didn't have that same overarching plot, as the episodes seemed a lot more cut off from each other. I did enjoy certain episodes, especially the first one with Nebula joining the Nova Corps as I felt it gave off a very steam punk sci-fi vibe that I dug. I also liked the episode involving Hela and the 10 rings. I felt it did a good job basically mimicking the plot of the first Thor movie, but with Hela as the main protagonist. I did appreciate a lot of the action in the second season, but the pacing in both seasons is just so fast paced. This is understandable, as they are attempting to pack in an entire story within 30 minutes of run time. That being said, it's so fast paced that the show doesn't give you pause to breathe and take in the different story beats... especially the dramatic ones. Overall, I felt that the second season was more boring than I would've hoped. The first season was an 8, but I'm going to downgrade the show as a whole to a 7 after completing the second.

Really enjoying this series & the risks they've taken so far.
