Aditya S Nothing extraordinary, but the show is overall good. Episode 4 was the best thing in the entire series, and the finale is great as well, giving well meaning endings to the characters built over the season. Animation is pretty good, and voice acting is solid too. Action scenes are imaginative. They could have experimented more, but it's an overall well made show.

I was a little disconnected from it since it was an animated show taking place in a live-action universe, but it was still really good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Joey G This season was good! I really enjoyed it. And the twist with the watcher being attacked was awesome. Even though no one asked for these what ifs, it was still great. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Ash P First time I've seen this season back when it'd debut, I loved it. Second time seeing it, I still enjoyed it while I have my own gripes with some of the episodes. Top three episodes goes from Zombies, Doctor Strange Losing his Heart and Captain Carter. The animation is pretty neat for what it is when it comes to the action sequences while okay for the character interactions. Even the voice cast is great from Jeffery Wright voicing as the Watcher to some of Chadwick Boseman before his passing. Sure, I'd ask for more, but always keep in mind that this is an anthology series. Season 1 has been completed and only two more to go. I give this one eight Futurama head styled Scott Lang out of ten. 8/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Matthew B fantastic premise, characters, and plot. It hits on so many levels. A true joy to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Kevin P 1st episode was a decent, 2nd episode was cute, 3rd episode was intriguing, the 4th episode was heartbreaking, the fifth episode was amusing albeit corny, the 6th episode was amazing but was cut too short just before what would’ve been an amazing climax, the 7th episode was dumb fun, the 8th episode was awesome, and the 9th episode was a mix of exciting and a bit of a letdown. Overall, the series was an amusing, albeit clunky experiment exploring interesting “What if?” scenarios with Marvel characters. It often feels like fanfiction, with its clunky dialogue and hit-or-miss comedy, but that’s part of the charm I suppose. The interesting scenarios are often creative and entertaining. The CGI animation and character designs are well detailed despite their lack of expression. It was impressive with just how many Marvel alumni actors they were able to have reprise their roles, including the late Chadwick Boseman in his final role as T’Challa. But I will admit, some of the actors are better suited to voice acting than others when it comes to their vocal performances. Some are amazing, and some are pretty lukewarm in the vocal charisma department. Jeffrey Wright gives such a smooth performance as the watcher, who is an intriguing cosmic character that ties the show together with his episodic narrations. The color palette is pleasant to the eyes and some of the surreal imagery can be a visual treat. Some scenarios are fun, while others can feel convoluted where some characters feel overpowered, underpowered, or straight up out-of-character. But that often comes the territory with hypothetical scenarios meant to tingle the curiosity of fans. The short runtime is a double-edged sword, as the fat has been trimmed to make this a quick and easy watch, but sometimes the pacing can be too fast and clip the story scenarios of their potential instead of letting them germinate and really let the scenarios settle in. Not an amazing spinoff show, but a fun experiment worth the watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
