Marvel fans the company has pretty much conquered the live action world and well it was only a matter of time before Marvel Studios turned it's head to the world of animation. Well just last year we got the great What If series which gave us a chance to look at our favourite heroes in a new light and well then join me as I review the episode that is quite possibly the saddest episode of the show with the episode in question being called simply just "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead Of His Hands?" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is after the death of his one true love Doctor Steven Strange embarks on a quest to bring her back to life. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being the best plot of the entire show for me personally just due to how impactful it is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Jeffrey Wright as Uatu / The Watcher and Benedict Cumberbatch as Evil Stephen Strange / Evil Doctor Strange and Regular Stephen Strange / Regular Doctor Strange. Also starring in this episode is Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer , Benedict Wong as Wong , the great Tilda Swinton as Ancient One , Ike Amadi as Cagliostro / O'Bengh and Leslie Bibb as Christine Everhart.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with all of this episodes main cast delivering some truly wonderful freaking performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Flying Bark Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episode giving us some truly striking images and some truly striking animation as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This episode is perhaps the most heartbreaking episode of this show since all you have to do is imagine seeing the love of your life dying over and over again and you can't do anything to stop it. On top of that all of the action that Steven Strange takes to keep Christine alive ultimately end up in the destruction of his own universe and so he still doesn't get to be with the one person that he loves in this world and that is such a tragic ending to this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I really do think that this episode is kind of like Breaking Bad in the sense that both shows are about the good guy falling from grace and becoming the bad guy. Where as Breaking Bad had several seasons to tell that story this show only had one episode and it did the best that it could telling it however I would have liked it if this story was told over several episodes since it is a really interesting story to freaking tell when done well that is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I really do think that they should have shown us a little bit more of what Steven's relationship with Christine was like before she died. Since then it would have made her death all the more impactful where as here I really did feel nothing because we know nothing about this version of the character and since her death is a key plot point it would have helped the episode quite alot if we got to see what there freaking relationship was actually like in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty four minuets and forty four seconds. Which was a great amount of time to tell this one storyline however this story would have benefitted from a much longer running time since then you could have delved into the characters a bit more and the Evil Strange's relationship with Cagliostro / O'Bengh and show us how his death effects Strange as well in my freaking opinions anyways /at least.
So now then since this episode is an action episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best. Which is a shame because the very idea f Doctor Strange fighting himself really does open it up to some really creative action scenes that this episode just doesn't take full advantage of in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall interms of emotional impact this episode is quite easily the best episode of this truly phenomenal show and it's one that I highly recommend people go back and watch again just due to how good this episode is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review 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 review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
