Kevin is right about the Ragu Bagu list. PURGE IT. IT MUST BE CLEANSED.

[@joshuacameron5333]

OMG, please go back and watch the final episode again. They keep saying "shouldn't Ultron just snap his fingers and destroy the galaxy/universe...?". This happens twice, once when he destroys everything because he is being attached by Zombie Scarlett Witch, the team has already taken a portal out of there, and then the second time, Strange Supreme literally consumes the explosion, I thought this was obvious and a badass scene. I think people are underestimating how powerful Strange Supreme is, he can't do it all on his own but clearly he is the main stopping point for Ultron. He makes the armor for the team, can counteract to a degree Ultron using the stones, and has his own time stone. So them acting like Ultron wasn't using the stones to their potential is kind of dumb, he is, but Strange is super powerful too.

[@jizzledoops6789]

This wasn't my favorite thing in the MCU by far but I don't think it should be judged by how connected it is to the main timeline.

[@ANTIStraussian]

Seems connected ton Doctor strange 2

[@CresentSoul]

I hate kinda funny caressi much whether movies are connected

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

For me, my biggest problem with What If is that it it’s connected to the MCU. I’ve been trying to say this since the first season ended but I think if What If wasn’t connected to the MCU, and it was a crossover between Marvel’s Animation’s History and Legacy, it could’ve been a better show. Hell, this could’ve been the reason why we’re getting X-Men 97, and this could’ve allowed us to have an Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Season 2, an actual Season 5 to Avengers Assemble, a Season 3 to Iron Man Armored Adventures, and maybe a Season 3 to Spectacular Spider-Man. It could’ve also encouraged new Marvel fans to watch old Marvel shows including the less popular ones like the Disk Wars Anime, and most of the 90s MAU shows. I originally wanted to keep this a secret, as I was working on a Season 1 rewrite. But I lost my initial script, and I’m planning to rerewrite the script for my Season 1 Rewrite video that I wanted to make for 2 years.

[@mus247365]

Still don't get why Kevin is expecting ramifications for the rest of the MCU from this series? Isn't the whole point that What If has no effect on the rest of the MCU?

[@arturo182]

After just rewatching the whole series in preparation for season 2, I have to say, it was a lot more enjoyable a second time round!

[@langleymneely]

The viability of What If stories continuing into possible spin offs is a great representation of the What If comics experience. There’s so many What Ifs that turned into great limited/ongoing comic series like Mayday Parker, Spider-Woman.

[@langleymneely]

It’s odd to hear people double down on the idea that these shows don’t matter. Feige intends all the shows to effect the MCU in very important ways. The standard that people have regarding what “matters” in the MCU flabbergasts me !?

[@CresentSoul]

It won’t. It’s not accessible to wider audiences

[@MelodicQuest]

I'm with Nick on this. The shows probably won't add too much overall. Falcon and Winter Soldier - Sam is Captain America now WandaVision - Scarlet Witch has access to more power and is learning how to use it Loki - The multiverse is confirmed, Kang is introduced, Loki is doing his own thing as of right now. What If - Nothing yet. Just shows what's going on in the other universes.

[@deshaunfortune912]

It's one of the first shows to explore different universes. I'd say that's adding something.

[@Zachary2624]

i’ve been watching all of mcu in review before dr.strange2 and i just wanted to say that i absolutely love this episode, Tim being big brain and thinking so closely to how what if affects mcu, Kevin who usually absolutely loves mcu having strong feelings against this, and Nick finally enjoying something as much as iron man 1 😂

To each their own but I legitimately don’t get Kevin’s confused sounding issues with the show. The way characters behave SHOULD NOT track with their MCU live action film counterparts. They are completely different people with a different history and motivations.

[@JustAFriendlyBearlol]

It’s shocking how Kev just flat out refuses to even attempt openminded approach to this show. He doesn’t even try to understand the point of “What If?” and his critiques are nonsensical. This is a rare case where Kev legit doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s objectively wrong on numerous counts.

[@teddyholiday8038]

When he says “oh okay they act different because they are written differently,” no, they act different BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT. THESE AREN’T THE SAME CHARACTERS! How does he not get this.

[@DrewSunn]

Now I don't think it should be top 10 or anything but it certainly deserved higher than that.

[@DanielHodder7]

The Absolute Point does not break the time travel rules already set in the MCU. I think KF really gets bogged down with the current stuff and how things connect to the current stuff without letting anything new be added. An Absolute Point is something new they've introduced. I think they explained it perfectly fine in the Doctor Strange episode. It's something that has to 100% happen in that universe. Every universe has one. That universe it was her dying. I hope we get to learn what the one in our MCU timeline is. Is it the snap? Is it Tony dying? Is it something we haven't even seen yet? Like a character going bad and that cannot be changed despite the other characters trying over and over.

[@bigchris145]

I'm with Nick on what if... I thoroughly enjoyed watching the show and all the possibilities it had going with it and the storytelling it did. It's probably my favorite of the MCU's new TV shows. The one thing I want to say is that Kevin missed a lot of this show for some reason when watching it. For one Doctor Strange in his own episode basically becomes a Supreme Being as he continuously merges with all those Multiverse/ galactic Creatures. That's the reason why he's able to see The Watcher because he's become that strong and that is something that happens to Ultron as well. The only difference is that the Evil doctor strange only has one infinity stone to go along with all the new power, while Ultron has all five to go along with him being merged with the Vision. Also, Ultra Vision does try to snap his finger and destroy the universe but Doctor Strange uses his powers to eat that power and nullify it. That's when Vision realizes he has to take out Doctor Strange to defeat the rest of the people. For me, this show does a really good job of telling a lot of that stuff but you have to pay attention.

[@KamasamaK]

Nick was so convinced at how unnecessary these series are to the movies, and now we have Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness where they definitely expect the audience to have seen WandaVision.

[@DoingOK]

I semi see where Kevin is coming from about characters not acting like themselves. I understand the butterfly effect exists but if someone is acting totally out of character then I want to know exactly why. Like party Thor makes sense because his entire life was different but why is Thanos a goon just because Black Panther is Star Lord? I just prefer when it’s clear why someone is different (like Strange and Hank Pym)

[@realrobrose]

I assumed in the Doctor Strange episode that it was the Ancient One who is making sure that she died, not the universe, because she's the one who refuses to let Strange not become Strange. I thought we were supposed to know as the fans that she's not telling the truth or misinformed about fixed points in time, since we know that there is no "destiny" in the MCU outside of someone existing somewhere being the one forcing that destiny.

Everything Doctor Strange has been in is excellent, they’re turning him in to such an incredible character. 👍👍

[@boochtron]

[@dicehands]

What If is a 5/10 for me honestly. I love the concept and think the space they are working in is really cool, but the execution did not hit for me. The voice acting is great (for the most part), but the dialogue and pacing of the spoken dialogue is abysmal. They give 0 time for lines to breathe and the entire show suffers for it. This awkward pacing also appears in the story lines as well, episode 1 was a great example of this, and although it got better with other episodes, it was still an issue. I wish they would slow down, make a compelling story and hang their hats on that rather than trying to hit a quota of X amount of battles each episode, X amount of easter eggs, X amount of call backs, etc. They have endless possibilities with What If, but they felt super limited with what they delivered in S1.

[@ShaolinPrince718]

Strange Supreme seems to be based off the OG Dr Strange who was otherworldly powerful. the Dr Strange that we know now is way less powerful than the OG version.

[@stanco4ever]

Ranking the shows are hard... especially this one, given the anthology nature. Some episodes I thought were bores, others meh, but a few were good to great. Hard to come up with a weighted average for where to put it on the list

I personally think WandaVision is ranked way too high. Being top 10 in the MCU is special. I doubt any of these guys have watched WV a second time .

[@stanco4ever]

@@teddyholiday8038 agreed. It was OK, definitely had moments of top notch performances, but yeah, ranked way too high in my view. That said, I do still like that the shows let Marvel play with different formats and genres . Not every experiment will have a eureka at the end but that's OK

I hear you. The pre recorded stuff will be OK, but I doubt we will get any of the off the cuff insanity that is greg.

[@AlexLove631]

Overall, I would say What if is ok. The art style grew on me, but apart from the penultimate episode, Doctor Strange episode, and the T’Challa Star Lord episode, the show was pretty mid for me. The voice acting varies from rough to pretty good. The show has interesting ideas, but the execution was never that great. I would say it’s my least favorite of the MCU Disney+ shows. I like a lot of the action and the maturity for much of the episodes though. The show can be a fun time, but I don’t think it becomes anything truly great. Hopefully that changes. Marvel has had some truly fantastic animated series with the 90s X-Men and Spider-Man, Spectacular Spidey, and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. I miss the 2D animation and wish they’d go back to that, but hopefully the show just gets to a level that compares to what came before.

[@deshaunfortune912]

Ah shit here we go again...

[@colacentral]

I have always assumed the same as Tim about the mind stone being for using all the stones at once, if only because A) it's always the last stone obtained and B) there's no indication what else it does, really. I mean, it makes sense that the MIND stone, in conjunction with the others, basically makes the user's thoughts reality

[@AlejandroPradoPatino]

mind stone is used by loki to mind control people in avengers, we do know what it does, the soul stone is the one we never see used AFAIK

[@muffyncrumbs1832]

[@theetimelords1260]

I found the Dr. Strange episode to be a great interpretation of time travel. It's basically Steins;Gate, and that has one of the best concepts of time travel, and I find it to be extremely interesting. The theory of worldlines should be pushed more because it does lead to incredible stories where characters are not able to mess around with time, because it comes with major consequences. In the What If worldline, Strange will always lose Christine because they believe it's the only way for him to become Sorcerer Supreme, and it's because of his arrogance that he doesn't create a better worldline that follows the movies and saves Christine. I'm glad they told it that way because it makes the characters more prone to stakes, of changes or the fear that things won't be able to.

To Tim’s point of people tuning out of the shows and falling off because they don’t care or like them. I’m truly sorry if this sounds gate keep-ish but I don’t care, we were told by fiege himself that these shows are shaping and linking a lot more closely to future movies and honestly that will wheat out the people that are just jumping on it because it’s “trendy” and the ones that have a legitimate love and interest for this universe. I in no way would say I’m a marvel fanboy, but I do think that there cannot be two forms of fans for one property through its lifecycle, things change and people need to realise that this universe, these characters are not solely for them, they are for everyone and reflect the diverse audience that watches them.
