What If? Final Season

[ThaOGDreamWeaver]

So the last season of What If? drops fir Christmas again…

…and while I’m glad to get one last run, I’m kinda sad too. Letting writers run wild with anything and anyone in the toybox is a great way to explore new story ideas (and sometimes kick off whole new arcs). Might not be game-changing but damnit if they weren’t fun.

 

Peg’s back, though less as the Anchor Being of the series than a guest shot this time (Hayley being busy with the final Mission Impossible flick.)

 

Sam, Bucky, Kahoori, Wong and Red are also joining the party: some Celestials and alt-watchers show up: Moon Knight does some light assembling: Kat and Howard somehow get stuck together: Agatha puts on a show of cosmic proportions for Kingo: Shang-Chi heads out West with Deadeye Kate: and while the mighty Thor might be missing, there’s still someone around to bring the thunder.

 

All in all, it’s (mostly) lived up to billing and brought new ideas to the table, while pencilling in around some others. Gonna miss it.

Sounds like they got the voice for the part, too.  IYNYN.

 

Yeah, I'm not happy its ending either.  While, yes, it'll be 24 episodes when done, that's not even a full season in American television (in the 1980s).   Honestly,  What If...?  has such vast possibilities, I'd have thought they'd at least have gone for 5 seasons, if not 7.    Even then, it would not be close to the 79 episodes of original Star Trek, a.k.a.  just 3 years.   It allows the actors to play the roles long after they physically cannot, and can be produced cheaper than, say, a season of She-Hulk.  (Okay, low blow, but still...)  I'm left wonder why the plug is being pulled.
