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...
Read MoreREVIEW: What If…? – Season 1, Episode 9 “What If… The Watcher Broke His Oath?”
After an unexpectedly amazing setup last week, What If…? wraps up its frustratingly inconsistent first season with a frustratingly inconsistent finale. “What If… The Watcher Broke His Oath?” has some great moments and winning characters, but some lame jokes and annoying bits of pandering to ...
Read MoreREVIEW: What If…? – Season 1, Episode 8 “What If… Ultron Won?”

Read MoreReview: What If…? – Season 1, Episode 4 “What If… Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?”
I don’t want to jinx it (and Lord knows it’s never been easier to jinx a good thing), but I think Marvel’s new animated series may have found its groove. “What If… Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?” has much more in common with last week’s universe-altering hypothetic...
