“What If?” is a bit paradoxical and not just an overview of the series' timeline
warping. This is probably the most comprehensive Marvel Cinematic Universe
title ever. Viewers who already have a deep understanding of the franchise's
main story and its connections to the myriad of characters will undoubtedly
get the greatest kick from each episode. The show is also a self-contained
product, with the potential to use MCU endlessly to create sequels and spin-
offs... Then, on the other hand, is the first MCU installment in a few years to
be meticulously adapted to franchise norms and not overwhelmed by the need
to explicitly tease future installments. This is a breath of fresh air for Marvel's
Die Hard, and while sticking to some surprises, it can provide exactly what
fans want. Long-time franchise fans will undoubtedly get the biggest kicks
from animated anthology series references and jokes-what at various
important moments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe if a particular event
unfolds differently. I wonder if that happened-but a closed story within itself.
It's not as complicated as procrastinating a casual viewer. Anyway, Jeffrey
Wright is here to help the inexperienced as a versatile narrator, Guardian, who
provides a useful story that explains how each episode destroys the old parts of
the MCU. Will “What If?” eventually track the impact on the timing of the Loki
Season 1 Finale? Maybe and maybe. But unlike all other MCU shows at Disney
+ so far, what's most interesting about “What If?” isn't the potential impact the
series has on future franchise rates. “What If?” is undoubtedly enhanced by
leveraging the Decadeplus Canon built on the MCU, but the show is easy to
enjoy on its own and is a world-building that defines some of Marvel's recent
Disney + series. Rest from a tired focus on. “What If?” may not beat the world
of superheroes, but if you're a fan of Disney's biggest franchise these days, this
may be the antidote you need.
