What If...? was probably my most anticipated MCU show on Disney Plus. Growing up the What If comics were some of my favorites, they were simple tales and single serving stories with fun concepts. The pilot was excellent, Peggy Carter as Cpt. Carter facing some Lovecraftian creatures. T'Challa as Star Lord had a bit too much MCU comedy for me but packed an emotional punch. The Avengers being killed off was a meh episode with a so so twist ending. Doctor Stange's was dull as can be. The zombie episode had some awesome zombie moments but felt generic and forced. Killmonger's could have been great if the show been an hour long. I am not one for MCU films being 2 1/2 hours but these episodes easily should have been 45 minutes or an hour. The Thor episode was quite cringe. Ultron is the type of episode i wanted the series to be, far out exploration of the Marvel Universe, however the finale which was a follow up to that episode is a different story. It felt jumbled and rushed, i loved the idea but the execution was not Marvelous. At the end i want more episodes but wonder What If...this series would have been excellent across the board.
