Ah fair question, so I ventured to watch this "new" series because I assumed it would tie in to the multiverse theme developing for Phase 4. I may have set my expectations too high, but the first two episodes were enough to make me think it was introducing content that hadn't yet been touched. For example....

Get busy living... or get busy dying.  That's goddamn right.

Thank you for that clarification and correction.

Ah, I see where you were coming from now.  I've not heard anything official except that the What If...?  series is considered canon to the MCU.  I have heard a lot of fan speculation that characters, possibly even scenarios and timelines will show up in Doctor Strange: the Multiverse of Madness, but we've yet to hear anything official on those speculations (and probably won't, at least until a trailer drops).  For now, it just appears that the What If...? series is in place to show us several of the variant unpruned branchings forming their own timelines.

Marvel released a series of "Marvel One Shots".  They're up to 15 minutes each (some much less) and fill in some details.  I think all of these can be found online, just not on YouTube.  Just look for the longest number of minutes to find the full videos as folks like to clip brief scenes from them.

 

...

 

"All Hail The King" is the only reason I can tolerate Iron Man 3.    Goofball actor Trevor in prison continues to play off his 15 minutes of fame unaware that someone terrifying has taken notice.  It can be considered a precursor to the upcoming Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings movie.

FYI...Disney+ has added the "All Hail The King" Marvel One Shot to it's roster.  I'm assuming this is due to the upcoming Shang Chi movie, to which it is related.

Whooo what a good fourth episoide!

Cross between a Twilight Zone (or perhaps more accurately an Outer Limits) episode and some Dr. Who thematics.  Definitely a very different tone from the other three we've seen so far.

Mainly just me suggesting that the gnome canonically made it to the rocket, then went through space and time to visit the Marvel What If universes.

Naturally, it's nonsense.  But I like the idea that this one weary gnome links disparate fictional realities.

My thoughts.  In general it is very uneven.  This seems like the scrap heap of ideas, most of these feel more like an episode of HISHE on youtube than a marvel production.

I'm not saying that the Avengers episode was unbelievable.  I just want to see superheroes fight supervillains.  We finally have superheroes with powers and costumes but they still hate to include supervillains in the movies.

 

Spidermans 1-3 and Iron Man 2 remain my favorite superhero movies because they are superheroes facing supervillains, which is shockingly rare in the superhero movies.

Forgot to add, there's a great easter egg in this one that reactors I have viewed so far haven't picked up on. 

 

There's a visual gag reference to the logo of Mutant Enemy Productions, Joss Whedon's film production company.  Joss, of course, directed the first two Avengers movies, and Mutant Enemy produced the "Agents of SHIELD" TV show.

This latest episode is all superheroes fighting each other.  So I fast forwarded through most of it to see if there was any more to it.  There didn't seem to be.

 

Worst episode so far for me.  I basically only watched the first 8 minutes of it.

I'd say it was the worst Marvel Zombies thing but the series about Howard the Duck and Machine Man working to keep that dimension out of 616 is always going to win that contest.

It had, to me, the most gripping existential crisis. Every episode has had some sort of "oh no, the thing we thought was good turned out to be bad" kind of twist, and Strange's had the most compelling. Also, the visual effects at the end of the episode were amazing, and
