Season 2

This season was way less what if? And more captain Carter saves the multiverse. I’m not mad at it but just give the character their own show and stop hiding it behind the what if tag.

Get more crazy with the what if ideas in the next season please.

Season 2 was pretty poor. Lacking in any real drama or enjoyment. Strange choice of what ifs to select.

What are these atrocious titles dawg :skull:

too much Captain Carter for my taste

For a while there I was pleasantly surprised by the show, which had improved on all levels from the first season in terms of animation, intriguing stories with fun character pairings, good scripts, attention to detail, and characters that felt understood. But then the final episode happened and left the season on a gigantic dud. Characters regressed, the story felt forced, and it's just not as fun to watch extremely overpowered characters as Marvel thinks it is. I still appreciate the several entertaining and well-constructed episodes that came before the finale, as well as the really great animation and visuals throughout, but how they ended the season is just a spitting image of where I do not want the MCU or comic book movies to go.

I was a bit worried about this season initially, with episodes that ranged from mid to bad, but it really picked itself up and became a really exciting, interesting, and cool season to a pretty good show.
they tried a lot of interesting new stuff, and i want to see this sort of willingness for risk in the future for the MCU.

Didn’t quite stick the landing after the great Kahorri and the 1602 episodes.

Nothing learnt from the first and the stories are exploring things that nobody wanted

They put this up one episode a day and I loved that. Every day there was a new episode, they were short, I enjoyed watching them because I like the visual style and I liked how they homaged movie classics. But no, really: one at a day, short, 30 minutes, that’s cool, do that, don’t do weekly hours, do daily 30 minutes, of everything, seriously. Worst part was that they had to make some interconnected narrative with the final two episodes and I couldn’t care less.

Just caught up with season 2 and liked it a little bit more than season 1, and I find the second half stronger than the first, starting with the Indigenous superhero episode onward (which is a great original one for this series btw, building a superhero myth from the ground up instead of continuing/alternate-universe-ing an existing one). Really got a kick out of Cate Blanchett returning to do a more comedic variation of Hela in two episodes, and the finale is grand fun, functioning like a The Cabin in the Woods spin of the whole MCU.

The second season of 'What If...?' offers an interesting sequel of nine episodes, where it continues using the same premise of parallel and alternative stories typical of Marvel Comics.

It is curious how these shorts are entertaining and sometimes brilliant, because recycle the already known characters from the Infinity Saga in other contexts, a very powerful reason for the viewers to connect with them and get excited easily.

A situation that doesn't happen with the new live-action productions of films and television, where in their desire of exploration they fell into a wide map that does not seem to have a clear horizon.

However, the adaptation of '1602' are far from the original result of Neil Gaiman's comic, but is entertaining. On the other hand, the incorporation of new characters like Kahhori is interesting, who is completely original from the MCU and without any background from the comics pages.

Although the result is attractive, this is a ball of wool that delves into the current tangle that Marvel Studios has, which will not be untangled soon due to the same wear and tear of the superheroes.
