Ever wondered what would happen if Peggy Carter got the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers? Or what if T'Challa became Star-Lord? That’s the whole point of Marvel's What If...?
The Multiverse of Possibilities
This animated series on Disney+ dives headfirst into alternate realities. Each episode explores a different "What If?" scenario within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but with superheroes!
So, how many episodes are we talking about?
The first season gave us nine awesome "What If?" tales. Each episode felt fresh and exciting. We got to see our favorite characters in completely new lights.
Good news! A second season has arrived, bringing us another nine episodes of mind-bending stories. So that's a total of eighteen episodes for now!
Why is "What If...?" so binge-worthy?
It's all about the unexpected. Forget the usual superhero tropes. This show throws them out the window.
Imagine Doctor Strange losing his heart instead of his hands. Or a zombie apocalypse hitting the Avengers. Things get wild, and that's what makes it so fun.
The animation style is super cool too. It’s vibrant and stylized. It blends perfectly with the wacky nature of the show.
Plus, many of the original MCU actors return to voice their characters. Hearing Chris Evans or Samuel L. Jackson in these alternate versions is a real treat.
More Than Just a Cartoon
Don't let the animation fool you. "What If...?" isn't just for kids. The stories can get surprisingly dark and complex.
They explore themes of loss, sacrifice, and the consequences of choices. It makes you think about the butterfly effect on a cosmic scale.
The series is also officially part of the MCU canon, so it does have bigger implications. Events in "What If...?" can (and have!) influenced the live-action movies and shows. Keep an eye out for connections!
A Glimpse into the Infinite
“What If...?” is like a playground for Marvel fans. It gives creators the freedom to experiment and take risks.
Want to see Captain Carter face off against Red Skull? Or Gamora wielding Thanos's armor? This show delivers on the wildest fan theories.
"It opens up a whole new realm of possibilities."
With only eighteen episodes to catch up on, it’s easy to dive in and get hooked. So, grab some popcorn, settle in, and prepare to have your mind blown. The Multiverse awaits!
Who knows what crazy scenarios Marvel will dream up next? The possibilities are literally endless.
