What If... Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?

The What If comic series has been running since 1977. This Marvel cartoon series takes a look at alternative history which can handily be slotted into the multiverse.

The first episode imagines Peggy Carter getting the super soldier serum after an incident that leaves Steve Rogers incapacitated.

In short Marvel/Disney can have fun playing around with the characters in the MCU.

This is a different take on Captain America: The First Avenger. It's actually Peggy Carter as Captain Britain who takes on the Nazis and Hydra.

The series benefits from most of the actors from the MCU reprising their roles. The action is fast paced, the animation takes a while to get used to. The animation needed to be better.

This is a show that kids will like and fire up their imagination.

Amazing character design and animation.

This is what I was expecting, and I was not disappointed.

This felt rushed and the writing was weak, not a great episode to start off this new show - hopefully it improves!

For the first episode of What If...?, this was pretty good. I got used to the animation & voice acting pretty quickly. The pacing is fast and awkward but that's what you can expect when you cram a two hour movie into 30 minutes. All of the twists were spoiled in the trailer so the element of surprise wasn't there for me. I hope the show will have more connections to other alternate universes in the next episodes and have an overarching storyline.

The concept is the most intriguing one. But very poorly executed. The Multiverse concept invites intelligent storytelling. Unfortunately this is very bland. And to add more damage very poorly acted. The animations are quite good considering the mammoth budget Marvel Studios can throw around. I hope the next episodes are better than this.
