A welcome arrival in a year where Kevin Feige and co must have pondered a few alternate timelines themselves, What If…?’s second series is witty, inventive, and may even be an improvement on the first. Go to Full Review

In season two, most of the episodes are all alright, save for one that is a carryover from season one and feels a little overdone because of it. The season premiere is a real highlight, with Nebula joining the Nova Corps. Go to Full Review

An animated anthology of alternate-reality MCU tales that underline the franchise’s greatest strengths—if also its persistent weaknesses. Go to Full Review
Monita Roy Mohan Vocal Aug 20, 2025
The second season is a delight, especially because it leans into unique team-ups—which is what made the “What If…?” stories in the comics particularly interesting. The animation and colours are glorious to look at Go to Full Review

Despite a growing opinion that Marvel’s content has become generic, this series serves as a reminder of the ability to innovate and explore new corners of the MCU. Go to Full Review

What If…? Season 2 doubles down on the series’ worst tendencies, giving us a season that never seems to understand what makes its premise appealing. Go to Full Review

Adil H @AdilPickle4 Oct 11, 2026 The first season had a propulsive narrative force anchored by the Ultron-Watcher storyline that made for a satisfying finale. The second season didn't have that same overarching plot, as the episodes seemed a lot more cut off from each other. I did enjoy certain episodes, especially the first one with Nebula joining the Nova Corps... it gave off a very steam punk sci-fi vibe. I also liked the episode involving Hela and the 10 rings. I felt it did a good job basically mimicking the plot of the first Thor movie, but with Hela as the main protagonist. I did appreciate a lot of the action, but the pacing in both seasons is just too fast. This is understandable, as they are attempting to pack in an entire story within 30 minutes of run time. That being said, it's so fast paced that the show doesn't give you pause to breathe and take in the different story beats... especially the dramatic ones.

See more Liam E @Thepurpleguy24 Jan 28, 2026 Not a great season to me it felt as if many of the episodes related to captain Carter especially the finale which eventually gets tiresome but having strange supreme as the villain and executing him perfectly mostly makes up for the fails.
