The What If..? series was a surprise hit from Marvel. Distinguishing Marvel Animation in a way that the company had not managed previously, the series boasted high quality animation and intriguing storylines that pushed the boundaries of the MCU. In this episode we explore the third season of the series. We discuss the individual episodes and what each meant to us. We talk about the characters and how the various alternate scenarios influenced them. We also get into our overall sense of the story, whether we thought that the final two episodes were a worthy resolution, and and whether we’d like to see the What If concept make a comeback.
This week’s five-minute controversy asks if we think that the Broccoli family’s loss of control of the Bond film franchise to Amazon is a good thing or not.
This week Director Faber, Anji, and Alli join the cast.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier was the second of the MCU series released on Disney+. The series had the expected amount of action and intrigue, but surprised viewers with its hard hitting look at race relations in this country over a span of decades. It also expounded upon the effects of the Sakovia Accords and the Blip on the MCU at large. It took returning characters and gave them surprise twists as well as giving us some new characters, including the new Captain America, John Walker. In this episode we talk about the series and delve into the characters and storyline. We also discuss the ramifications of the events of the series and how we think it’ll influence the MCU going forward.
