- Quotes
The Watcher: [Opening narration to each episode] Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question... "What if?"

Like any comics, some issues were better than others. But overall, the stories were fun, enjoyable and some were even thought provoking.
But along the way, the comics started to reflect less important or interesting decisions with increasingly absurd results. Even worse, some mildly popular issues and characters started to emerge in the mainstream comics, calling for increasing levels of silly complexity. Like most readers, I kept on for a while then stopped buying the comic.
The What If? Series seems to be reflecting the worse of the comic legacy. Sure there are a few interesting episodes that stand on their own. The zombie one was certainly fun.
But it seems this programs is falling victim to the desire to fit itself into the actual MCU rather than just examining possibilities.
Watching the second season, it seems the show is trying to fit itself to the MCU's big multiverse mess. Not working for me.
