In late 2019, Marvel announced a new animated series coming to Disney+ that would put a spin on various events in the MCU timeline. This show was simply called ‘What If…?’

Unfortunately, production issues during the pandemic cut the first season short. And that was made evident by the introduction of a major character in the season finale that seemed a bit random.

Nonetheless, this series had a lot going for it, from its gorgeous animation style to its impressive voice cast (with some MCU actors returning to voice their What If…? counterparts).

In this week’s episode of Nerds Talk Movies, we are going to talk about all sorts of spoilers for Marvel’s What If…? and basically, share our review of the show’s first season.

Was this a huge swing and a miss for the MCU? Or did we find the show to be a lot of fun? Tune in to hear our thoughts!
