In the finale, Dark Strange was transporting characters to(and from) other universes. So he definitely chooses to keep himself locked inside the pocket reality.

Could be more of a power scaling issue.

I'd have to see Cap leap the way Captain Carter does, or see her raw strength on gigantic creatures or inanimate objects before I'm convinced he's her equal.

But it is only logical for her to be > him. Given that was the exact same serum used on her that was meant for him. Yet she started off much stronger.

I'm not saying he's necessarily her equal. But he does seem more powerful than his mainstream counterpart. I doubt regular MCU Cap could casually beat up Asgardians like that. That being said, all we know about that version of Steve is what we see in that brief sequence (it seems to be the universe where Pym murdered most of the Avengers), so we don't actually know what that version was like pre-serum.

^ Ah good point. Plus they may have had to give him further enhancements given what they were up against and with the limited number of Avengers they had left.

Looks interesting:

^ Honestly first season was my favourite Disney plus Marvel series. So yeah looking forward to the new season.

Also looks like they're releasing 1 episode per day.. Not week 👆

Season 1 was great. Should have put more money into this and made it 18-20 shorts.

I recently finished season 2. My feelings about the show haven't changed; just like season 1, it's a mixed bag. Some episodes are winners, but humour is used maybe too often as a source for plots. I know they are just trying to replicate the tone of the MCU, but it gets into illogical plot points for some episodes.

It's also irritating how some characters are consistently treated. Thor is a constant dumbass, Thanos comes onto screen only to get nerfed in a way that is supposed to make us laugh but totally wouldn't happen in the live action MCU. And Tony Stark, Black Widow and Captain Carter are given high amounts of plot armour so they can overachieve in their appearances. Peggy Carter really became the central character of season 2, and seemed to have a powerset that approached the Hulk - way beyond anything Steve Rogers did as Captain America. It almost made me want to watch the live action Peggy Carter from Doctor Strange 2, who get cuts in half by Wanda Maximoff (something which is totally plausible, but would never be seen in What If...?)

Thought bro Thor vs the stick in golden child Captain Marvel's arse was one of the best moments tbh.

"You are the pahty poooper!"

For Thor this is leagues better compared to other embarrassing moments, and makes Marvel look kind of lame.

They really did Supreme Strange dirty.

Of course, he's white! Thor, Stark, Stephen, character flaws are for white people.

Not to mention Peter Quill mopping up a Dairy Queen if he wasn't Star Lord. Basically calling Peter a loser who lucked into better things.

Well to be fair it's a different reality. Not our Peter Quill.

Looks like it'll be the last season of What If:

it is the last season but it looks good.

Just finished watching the first two episodes. The show is getting increasingly ridiculous. We don't even see where the break in previous MCU continuity comes from anymore, it's all 'Just Imagine' plots. The episode with Agatha Harkness, Eternals and Celestials was just numbingly stupid; everything in the sake of comedy, apparently.

Third season was more meh than good.

Very poor season/ending.

I did have fun with the Winter Soldier/Red Guardian team up episode though. That one makes me more stoked for Thunderbolts.
