Just a reminder that What If drops tomorrow...

Ok yeah - I knew I remembered hearing of the Eternals dropping, not as excited about that addition. |

I'm glad to hear Kang the Conqueror will get some love finally. Such an awesome villain!

Don't know what I was expecting. There was a BIT of fun, but it was pretty trite and ham-handed.
The alternative narrative carries interesting potential, but the first episode was just hammering and hammering and hammering that the Allies in WWII were fightin' Natzees, but man they really thought womenfolk were dumb and weak. Fully expected a soldier to shout 'bake me a casserole, wench' at some point. And if anyone was thinking of making a drinking game out of mentions of Steve and Peggy's 'dance.' Save yourself the coma and potential death by alohol poisoning.

Add to the drinking game every time someone calls Steve by his full name. It was super odd to hear his best friend and people in the middle of combat screaming Steve Rogers instead of just Steve. I get they were trying to emphasize that he's no longer Captain America in this universe, but damn, ease up. Agree on the Allies vz Nazi hammering too. I think overall, the entire episode was just heavy handed. While I did enjoy it, it really did feel like the writers were trying to force feed everything to you. I was actually excited to see the new Iron Man in this one. Based on the trailer, I'm assuming there's more to come for Captain Carter. I hope they ease up on everything. Based on the ham-fisted approach to basically everything, I think it's less about pushing an agenda and more about a rare case where a cartoon is actually meant for kids who tend to be a bit dense? I'll give the 2nd episode a try, but I may not stick with this one long.

What if...
Wasn't really impressed. Rah rah girl power with pretty lame script. Weak first episode. Funny seeing skinny little Steve flirting with Big Momma Peggy though. Awkward...

Peggy and Steve
The girl power stuff didn't bother me, but I thought they got too cute with the references to the main continuity. The dance stuff, Bucky's arm. They might as well have literally winked at the camera. |

Based on their last few movies it would be smart marketing...

I liked that they got nearly all the original actors to voice their characters, that was a cool touch. As for the story, "ham-fisted" describes it well. I'm a What If? nerd, so I'll hang in there for now, but I do hope the stories improve dramatically and quickly.

Gotta stick around for the zombie episode at least. Marvel Zombies was a really fun little series...
