Ever wondered what would happen if Peggy Carter got the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers? Or maybe if T’Challa became a Guardian of the Galaxy? That's the magic of What If...?
So, How Many Episodes Are We Talking About?
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. As of now, there are 18 episodes of What If...? to binge.
That’s spread across two seasons. Season one has 9 episodes, and season two also boasts 9 alternate realities.
Why Should You Watch It?
Okay, okay, knowing the number of episodes is one thing. But why dedicate your precious viewing time to this animated series?
Firstly, it’s pure, unadulterated fan service. You get to see your favorite Marvel characters in completely new and unexpected roles. It’s like the writers threw a bunch of action figures into a blender and hit "awesome."
The premise is simple: What If...? Each episode explores a different "what if" scenario that branches off from a pivotal moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Ever wished you could see Captain America fighting alongside a zombie horde? Or Spider-Man wielding Doctor Strange's powers? This show delivers that and more!
It's Not Just About the "What Ifs," It's About the Heart
While the wild scenarios are definitely a draw, What If...? isn't just about mindless action. It also delves into the emotional core of these characters we know and love.
Seeing familiar faces deal with altered circumstances can be surprisingly poignant. You might even shed a tear or two (don't worry, we won't judge).
And the animation style is gorgeous! It's a unique blend of comic book aesthetics and modern animation techniques.
A Multiverse of Possibilities
What If...? really gets you thinking about the possibilities within the multiverse. Each episode offers a self-contained story.
The series has introduced some pretty cool concepts that might make their way into the live-action MCU at some point. Keep your eyes peeled.
Imagine the ripple effects of Captain Carter becoming a permanent fixture in the MCU! Or maybe Zombie Iron Man could make a terrifying comeback?
Perfect for a Quick Binge
With only 18 episodes, What If...? is perfect for a weekend binge. You can easily devour a season in a single sitting (popcorn strongly recommended).
So, clear your schedule, grab your favorite snacks, and prepare to dive into a world of infinite possibilities. You won't regret it!
Give What If...? a shot. You might just find your new favorite corner of the MCU!
