REVIEW: What If…? Season 1, Episode 7 “What If… Thor Were an Only Child?”
“What If… Thor Were an Only Child?” makes it clear that this animated Marvel series still has some kinks to work out – some very big, very annoying kinks. The worst impulses of the show take center stage this week, where instead of using a diverging timeline to explore the characters, they j...

Does “What If… Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?” end the winning streak Marvel’s new animated series has been skating since that dreadful second episode? Yes and no. It’s not bad, by any means, and it has some interesting ideas that it explores using the What If…? hook. The problem is, it ...

“What If… the World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?” is the best episode of the kids-with-a-toy-box series yet, and more enjoyable and reverential to the classic characters than at least the last two MCU TV shows in their entirety. Getting past the race and gender-swapping that the canonical MCU is...
Read MoreREVIEW: What If…? – Season 1, Episode 2 “What If… T’Challa Became a Star-Lord?”
Well, that was fast. After a deeply flawed but mostly enjoyable first episode, What If…? has cranked out one of the worst pieces of “entertainment” the Marvel Cinematic Universe has yet produced, and this is coming from someone who sat through The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. “What If… T...
