Marvel'due south What If...? is near here, debuting in nine days on August 9, and the first vociferous reactions are already here. A serial of critics including YouTubers got access to the first three episodes, and their reactions are about-unanimous praise.

What If...? if you forgot, is an animated series posing a multitude of hypotheticals. What if Peggy Carter got the Super Serum? What if T'Challa (who will be voiced by the late Chadwick Boseman) was Star-Lord in Guardians of the Milky way? And what if there were zombies in the MCU?

This kind of exuberant fan-service is but the kind of material that should create a lot of hype among fans. In fact, the i annotation that's even close to beingness negative is more neutral than anything else. Overall their reactions aren't entirely surprising, but the general glee in their tone is heady.

  • How to watch the Marvel movies in order
  • Plus: What If...? replaced Chris Evans for its first episode

Overall, the large vibe we're reading is that What If...? is the Twilight Zone of the MCU, which sounds like exactly what we're trying to hear. Anyone who hopes that What If...? volition have ramifications for futurity MCU projects, though, may have their eyes perk up as the give-and-take "multiverse" is used.

While we're non expecting this to happen, conspiracy-theory minded fans may be left wondering if whatever of this will become truly canonical, in terms of what comes next in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Homo: No Mode Dwelling house.

Here's what the critics have to say well-nigh What If...?

Is there anything not to like nearly Marvel'due south What If...?

So, while the overall thrust of the reactions is positive, Brandon Davis of ComicBook.com'due south Phase Naught podcast wrote that the first episode "didn't catch" him. If we had to guess that may exist considering the episode is sort of an introduction to the whole concept of the serial, and may not become as wild and zany considering of it.

What the critics like about Marvel'south What If...?

That said, Davis noted that he enjoyed second and third episodes much more than. Specifically, he noted that the 2nd is "super entertaining & filled with eye" and that the third is "dark, surprising, and hands downwards [his] favorite!"

The best overall note is that the serial has an "ambitious new mode," which it feels like we've seen in the previews.

Grace Randolph of the Across The Trailer channel on YouTube gushed with her reaction, calling What If...? "MIND-Blowing" Her favorite characters so far are Captain Carter and Star-Lord T'Challa (which is exciting to read, as it says we'll get them in the starting time three episodes).

Tessa Smith, a Rotten Tomatoes critic, has a positive — yet somewhat predictable — betoken of view. While Smith calls the episodes she's seen "INCREDIBLE!" we're curious about the "twists" she refers to. We already knew there would be shocking twists, as the conceit of the testify is based on that premise. Or is the stupor value coming from what the characters we thought we knew will do in new situations?

Her tweet's most interesting note may be unintentional, equally she says "Curiosity throws us head first into the MULTIVERSE," which makes the series sound similar information technology could create lasting effects seen outside of this show, tied to the existing MCU multiverse. Just we're not buying that idea (not but still), as the What If...? world has never actually had ramifications.
