What If... The World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?

So far the series has been too goofy and felt like it was targetted for kids, but this episode has renewed my expectations. After Carter becoming the most powerful hero and a goofy Star-Lord who can redeem any character for the sake of the plot, this episode presents a more intriguing premise that got me hooked from the start. I hope they keep it up with the upcoming and probably darker episodes.

What I liked in this episode is that they've shown us so many references from the entire MCU within a very short time. They've recreated the moments from Iron Man 2, Thor, The Incredible Hulk & Avengers with some twists. And that's the reason this episode deserved more runtime.

It suffered with the same problem that episode 1 did. In episode 1, it was not much necessary. But, for this episode it was mandatory as there are so many stories in this one episode. They've showed us all of these within just 27 mins. If the runtime was more, then it would've been awesome.

But, overall I loved it.

This was, by far, the most interesting "What if..?" episode. It gets to the point right from the beginning and keeps you engaged all the way to the end. The pacing is perfect! It's fast-paced and yet it did not feel rushed at all! It's quite suspenseful and adheres to the classic murder-mystery genre involving the OG avengers.

Unlike the first 2 episodes, the humour in this one was actually improved. The comic bits are really funny and it is quite evident that these bits have been basically used to cut the tension and dail down the dark tone of the episode. Hence, it sort of felt like a dark-comedy.

The only issue i found with this episode is that it becomes slightly predictable after a point. However, there are other minor plot twists that pop up after the "big reveal", which kind of negate the overall predictability of the episode.

This was a risky episode with so many things that could have gone wrong but it deviated from that landmine and delivered a total blast! Brilliantly executed and something different from MCU!

Much better that I am compelled to write a review for it.

Except for some jarring jokes and that Natasha's character doesn't look like Scarlet Johannsen + some lacking voice works (Tom doesn't even sound like Tom / Loki...), pacing and plot wise is pretty entertaining.

I like the mystery aspect of it and that Black Widow was much of a drive in this episode compared to her own stand alone movie.

Its Good how the show is turning up to be... I liked the concept and saw different teams together.
