 Available on Disney Plus

Synopsis (from IMDB):

Exploring pivotal moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turning them on their head, leading the audience into uncharted territory.

Thoughts

Apparently, this is the final season of What IF and according to some people it couldn't come soon enough. Personally though I didn't think the season was to bad. Sure it had its ups and downs but I thought there were more fun episodes than bad ones. I think that is one of the main issues with this series is that when the episode is good, its great but when its bad its painful to get through. That inconsistency has been an issue throughout each of the seasons. This season its more pronounced but in my opinion there are more interesting to good episodes than bad ones. This season also shows some continuation of story beats that happened in Seasons 1 and 2 for example Howard the Duck and Darcy getting married in Vegas. Captain Carter teaming up with Kahori again, they do try to have an overarching story and it does work to an extent. From a visual perspective, if it ain't broke don't fix it, I love the artstyle of the series and hope that it sticks around since it seems like Marvel is up their animated output. The soundtrack is awesome as always and the voice acting is well done. I do see the criticisms that some of had online and personally, I think that the series stays true to what they have been doing for the past two seasons. If you like that then I think you will enjoy this season overall.

For Parents

This series is rated TV-14. It has a lot of super hero style action in it. Like I said previously, if you have seen the first two seasons you pretty much know what to expect. The episodes are 30 minutes a piece and this season there are only 8 episodes. They are well paced and nothing feels like it drags in any area. 

Final Thoughts

Should you watch it? That's a tough question, to be fair. However, I enjoyed the first and second seasons and honestly, I enjoyed most of this season. Its not a hard watch by any stretch of the imagination and I will miss this show. If I had to give it a rating I would give it a RENTAL as nothing about it made me upset but I do think there were some issues that needed to be addressed. What did you think of the final season of WHAT IF? Leave a comment and let's talk about it.
