    I hope the animation style is superb, like along the lines of Legend of Korra or the first season of Ultimate Spider-Man (which, say what you will about that show, but the first season had some very good animation.)

    Oh, that's pretty damned cool. It'll be interesting to see how the alternate story arc for some of these characters works out. I mean... Taserface of all people. :lol

    I hope they don't make these joke stories like "What if Taserface ruled the galaxy?" or "What if Groot was worthy?"...

    I would want something interesting and also give us more insight into the characters if their life was taken in a different direction.
    Like "What if Hawkeye died instead of Black Widow in Endgame?"

    What if Groot was worthy? That sounds more interesting that what if Hawkeye died instead of Black Widow. How much different do you really think Endgame would have been, Black Widow is not exactly bring anything new to the table.

    Not to much as that's how the film was planned and they changed it last second. They even had widow scenes in the last battle in promo art with her in the big battle! They just gave all of widows scenes to hawkeye at the end.



    Ah good old what if. Stories that could never happen in the real universe right?


    Jane becomes thor! That will never happen right?

    The clone and jackell are still alive and start a "clone saga"? Nah thats to much of a streach.

    Conan joins the avengers? That will be the day.

    Cap getting replaced by patriot and invaders turning into the all winners squad? That's the biggest stretch of all! (by the way this one IS officially a canon story for the main universe!)

    Are you sure you’re not mistaking that for the b-roll footage of her fighting? Cause that was on Vormir. There was originally going to be a fight sequence against Thanos’ forces and during it she’s throw herself off. But then they changed it into the more personal scene.

    Saw it on the john campea show or collider movie talk some time ago when they were talking about it and don't know the episode so can't help. Doesn't matter as it's not canon anymore.

    I just learnt it's an animated series, and I was expecting live-action.

    It's fine by me, as long as the animation is of good quality.

    I think the animation will be a huge factor for this series. That said - I wonder how Spider-Man will be treated - as Marvel has the TV rights to him - they could have him show up in theory if that's the case.

    Why The Watcher in Marvel's What If...? Isn't 'An Old White Man'

    Uatu will be played by Jeffrey Wright (Felix Leiter).

    "He’s above everything else. He’s above everyone, but there should almost be an interest and curiousity and wonder in him watching these stories."

    "Remember the pizza rat meme that went around a few years ago? Someone next to the subway recorded this video of a rat dragging a slice of pizza across the platform. I think that’s what The Watcher is- he’s a guy watching the rat drag the pizza. He has no interest in becoming friends with the rat, living amongst the rat, or doing rat things. He just goes, 'Man, this is remarkable. Look at the little guy go'! That is The Watcher’s relationship with humanity. It’s like he’s watching this weird theater and stories unfold around him and he doesn’t know always if he should be watching. He doesn’t intervene because that’s not the point. The point is for him to watch and observe."


    He's a spectator, okay. And he's inviting us to watch with him.

    Make the Watcher an alien then. However they already showed the Watchers in GOTG2 so they have been established.

    Get whomever you want to get to voice him but leave the looks
