WHAT IF, A Disney Plus Review, Not Bad

WHAT IF on Disney+ Turns Out In the End To Be Pretty Fun

Marvel's What If started out as a curiosity show for me, seeing what alternate realities the show creators came up with and it turned into the culmination of all the stories coming together for a good cause against evil. It went from something curious to watch, to I couldn't get enough of What If in the last two episodes. It was a good pay out.

What If has us listening to The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright), as each episode deals with an alternate reality for scenarios like if 

-Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) got the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers.

-T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) became Star-Lord?

-The world lost its Mightiest Heroes? Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) struggles to assemble the Avengers after the candidates are targeted by a serial killer. 

-Instead of losing his hands, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) lost the love of his life? A grief-stricken Stephen Strange desperately tries to change what happened in the past. 

-There was a zombie outbreak, and it wiped out half the Avengers? Is there any way to stop it...and find a cure?

-Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) was the one that saved Tony Stark, and then the two became friends — and co-workers? And there was no Iron Man? 

Things start to get fun here, when

-Thor (Chris Hemsworth) were an only child and never learned to be a good hero, throws an out-of-control intergalactic party on Earth. To deal with Thor's party, Earth's Mightiest Heroes do what must be done — call Thor's mother.

The next two episodes join all these stories together, where, 

-What if Ultron got his vision body and won? Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) seek to destroy Ultron following a cataclysmic event. Can the Watcher stay on the sidelines and not interfere any longer?

-The final episode follows the Watcher as he gathers the necessary forces to deal with Ultron, who has discovered the multi-verse and threatens all of life.
