Marvel fans instead of waiting months or even a few years to see our next entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe we now waiting at the most two or even three weeks. Which I will admit is very risky move since you risk either burning your audience out with all of this new content or you risk just flooding the market with all of this new content which isn't a good thing at all and so it's good thing then that instead of a new live action show we have a new animated show and no i'm not talking about Spidey And His Amazing Friends either and so join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show which just based of off this very first episode promises to be really good with the show in question (pun very much intended) being called simply just "What If...?" enjoy.
Now then the plot of this first episode is sadly one that I cannot tell because it's a huge spoiler for the episode but I can give you my opinions on the plot of this episode. Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this very / particular episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this very / particular episode was really freaking good and as well as being really freaking engaging and really freaking well written in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Jeffrey Wright as Uatu / The Watcher and Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter / Captain Carter. Also starring in this episode is Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes , Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark , Stanley Tucci as Abraham Erskine , Toby Jones as Arnim Zola , Bradley Whitford as Colonel John Flynn , Ross Marquand as Johann Schmidt / Red Skull , Darrell Hammond as A Nazi General and Josh Keaton as Steve Rogers.
As for what I personally thought about the voice acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the voice acting that's featured / presented to to us in this very / particular episode was really good. Heck Josh Keaton sounded so much like Chris Evens to me that I actually didn't notice that they recast the part of Steve Rogers and as for the cast as whole every single actor that's appearing in / starring in this very / particular episode did a really job portraying their respective character in my opinion anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for this episode and i'm assuming also for the rest of this show is Blue Spirit Animation. Now as for what I personally thought about the animation that's in this very / particular episode well then in all honesty the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode is a very mixed bag for me personally this is because even tho the quality of the animation in that's in this episode is indeed very high it's the mouth movements of the characters that seem to be a tad bit of this is even more evident when the shading of the characters comes close to the characters mouths which makes the characters mouth movements not only a tad bit off but also very distracting well in my opinion anyways / at least.
SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Now then there is a reason as to why I couldn't give you guys a summery of the plot of this very / particular episode with that reason being that the plot of this very / particular episode is basically just a shortened version of the plot to the first Captain American Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film AKA Captain America: The First Avenger. Which I honestly freaking feel was a brave choice since you don't really have to change much in order to fit / have Peggy carter be the main hero of that particular / very story in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now this whole series is all about different choices being made and in this case the choice being made is that Peggy Carter doesn't go up to the box to see Steve Rogers get transformed into Captain America she instead stays there down there with him. This also means that she's now able to kill the HYDRA / N*zi as he blows up the place where Steve Rogers is about to become Captain America I honestly do like this example of the multiverse theory since it really does indeed do alot of things with it's new hero and due to the set up of the show it now means that we could quite possibly see combinations / teams ups with people that we've so far not or even never got to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies.
Now then just because Steve Rogers doesn't become Captain America in this universe doesn't mean that he's left out entirely since he does indeed play a huge role in this very / particular episode and he does also get his own I guess you could say superhero name. Which is HYDRA Stomper but in reality the suit he's given by Howard Stark to help Peggy Carter out as HYDRA Stomper is basically just a prototype to the Iron Man suits and so basically Howard Stark in this universe at least made the first ever Iron Man suit which doesn't really make sense since Howard Stark wouldn't have had the things necessary back then in the good old 1940's in order to create a fully functioning Iron Man suit prototype but hey at least this very early Iron Man suit looks kind of cool at least in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
In all honesty just based of this very first episode I can honestly see this show being very divisive with people either really loving / liking this show or with people just straight up hating or not liking this show at all in the slightest. Which is a shame because just based of this very first episode this show does seem like that it actually has the potential to be a universally loved show but just based on how people aren't liking the design of / for Peggy Carter it looks like that this very show could be like I said a very divisive show among fans of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.
Now then like I just said it seems that alot of people online are having a huge issue with the design for Peggy Carter in this show/ in this very / particular and while I can indeed see there point of view. Since when Peggy Carter is in her captain Carter uniform her body looks like that of a mans I personally have no problems with the redesign of Peggy carter for this show since when she us out of her Captain Carter she does indeed go back to having a more traditional female body shape which you can indeed see in the above picture but at the same time those people who are having issues with the design of Peggy carter for this show do have a point since when she is in her Captain Carter uniform she looks like an even more butcher version of Bruce Campbell in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this very / particular episode has a grand total running time of exactly thirty one minuets and twelve seconds and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people that exact running time was the perfect amount of running time for this very / particular episode in my opinion anyways / at least. This is because the episode is just basically hitting alot of the greatest hits from a movie and so it doesn't really need a long time in order to fully tell it's story nd as such having this episode be as short as it is is a really good thing in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this show is indeed an action show and that does infact mean that there are action scenes / action sequences in this very / particular episode and that does infact mean that I have to actually / personally talk about the action scenes / action sequences that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular episode and well if i'm being honest. The action that's in this episode is really freaking good with Peggy Carter / Captain Carter doing alot of really cool moves and it really does help that all of the action scenes / action sequences are not only really exciting but are also really freaking cool to see / watch in my very humble and as well as being in my very my very honest opinion anyways / at least.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall this was a really good start to this ' show / series but who knows if the rest of this show will be as good as this first / debut / particular episode was. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very post however I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the What If...? Marvel animated TV series.
Now then as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and nowhere else and since I only went to the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and nowhere else for the images that I actually ended up using in this very post. My personally favourite website to use to get images from this very episode is of course the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom this is because the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this very / particular episode and also because pretty much / nearly all of the images that are currently up on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe are are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
