Episode 2

Telling us exactly what T'Challa said to Thanos to make him not go through with his plan would have been nice.

I'd like to know how The Collector got Captain America's shield and Thor's Hammer.

The over-the-top adoration for T'Challa was a bit much.

If Yondu had abducted Steve Rogers I think his impact on the Ravagers would have turned out similarly given he is as much, if not more, morally upright than T'Challa.

"Nice" Thanos was weird. Seem like he still thinks his plan isn't that bad of an idea, though.

Episode 3

Entertaining/Interesting story.

Kind of a gruesome way for Hulk to die.



I don't mind how they played Thanos in it, is was funny he kept bringing it up.

What is strange about T'Challa was as an homage to Chadwick it makes sense, but this was done before his passing. I wonder if they had him as the nice guy who saves the world before and the cited it up super nice after his passing or if this was always the plan. It is a really nice thing to do post mortem but honestly it feels like it was always the plan.


he knew he was dying for a while before he let on to the public. Maybe he tipped off the writers in advance?

Better episode this week I thought.



it was ok, very odd though. Another one where they say what if and then they fail to make any real substantive changes. Hank Pym kills a bunch of Avengers (can you really kill Thor with an arrow?) which allows Loki to take over the world, but by the end we have Capt Ameica and Ms Marvel who by themselves are capable of stopping Loki and his army. So in the end nothing really changed.

Yeah it is possible. Like Bowie let everyone know when he was recording his last album that it was his swan song.

Episode 4 was good. A bit of a change of pace.

The 4th ep was definitely the best of the bunch. Big Twilight Zone vibes, darker than I thought the series would go.

From what I remember when reading the handful of What If comics I owned as a youth this episode definitely captures the darker vibes the books could venture into.

I'm not really into the whole zombie thing, but it was a good episode.

Bucky was very quippy.

With that hair and beard he looked like George Michael circa 1986 in the video for A Different Corner.

I thought it was ok at best, not nearly as good as the comic.

I watched the zombie episode last week and i honestly don't remember what happened. Maybe i didn't finish watching it?

The killmonger episode could have had a better ending, but it did a good job of showing off how badass a one off villian from a few years ago could be.

Is it just me or is the most recurring theme this season that Hank Pym can really really fuck things up one way or another? I guess he's really kind of a pretty big deal, you know? #QUANTUMANIA!!!!!

Did I miss something or was there not an actual ending besides Tony Stark's secretary and a girl who has to keep telling everyone she's genius becoming allies?

No that was it.

The theme of the show seems to be "don't worry. Women will fix it".

I don't see how anyone can praise a story, or several stories that have no ending.

This is like Steven King and Nick Pizzolatto dream world.

This coming from JBiills is like a normal person saying it was one of the worst things they've ever seen.

think I'll skip this episode. I'll wait to hear what Peeps has to say about it and then decide. Not watching anymore "look how awesome women and POC are" propaganda.

I'll wait for a review from someone who doesn't have a track record of shilling for 99% of the things he watches.

Last week's What If...Thor Were An Only Child? was very lame. It felt like it was an hour instead 35 minutes or so. Did Taika Waititi write that one?

This week's What If...Ultron Won? was MUCH better. One of the best of the season IMO along with Agent Carter becoming Captain Carter and the one with Dr. Strange.
