What If... Agatha Went to Hollywood?

I don't think anybody actually asked this, "What If?" question...... I had a hard time watching to the end. Just like the poster before me mentioned, there had to have been 100 better ideas than this one.... This episode came from a marvel movie that performed horribly with a bunch of characters that are already forgotten. Furthermore the few memorable characters that do exist in this episode act nothing like what we have come to expect or how they act from the movies. Who thought this was a good idea? How have they strayed so far from what fans actually enjoy? The What If question should be what if Marvel started making quality content again...I didn't think things could get worse after the first episode but here we are.

This series is getting more boring every day. I can't believe that this episode idea was better than several other ideas that the team must have discussed. It's so embarrassing that it bothered me a lot to have to watch this entire episode. Please, we need good ideas to reach this series that has enormous potential. In the first season, it still had potential, but now it seems like it was given up and is left to launch anything as an episode story. And I repeat, there's no way that this was the best story idea for an episode out of several ideas that the team discussed. It's a huge waste of time. Marvel should apologize to the fans for having to watch this.

This episode does not break the fourth wall, it pummels it to death in a cheeky manner that surprisingly befits its two leads.

The dialogue is somewhat sharper here than it has been for a while on this show. The episode feels quick on its feet and some of the quips land in that exact spot between satire and DEEP satire that I imagine they're shooting for.

The dance sequence is not animated fluidly, but with the overall tongue-in-cheek tone of the episode, you almost--almost--believe they intended as much. The visual quality is otherwise what you'd expect from the series by now. Cosmic Agatha's emergence is rendered beautifully.

The voice acting is great across the board. They made a bold choice committing to that mid-Atlantic '40s accent because it runs the risk of making the characters less identifiable, yet both Hahn and Nanjiani deliver energetic enough performances that I don't mind it.

My gripe with this one is the resolution, which does not feel altogether true to Agatha's character. Overall, it's good, light-hearted fun that could have used a more creative twist to finish stronger.

The third season of What if is THE worst show that I have watched in a long time. The animation, the story, the same cringy non-sensical plot. The animation feels like it has been done 20 years ago. The action sequences feel like someone is bashing toys while playing. I feel ashamed to have watched 2 episodes

Spoilers ahead: In the first episode, the worst of the avengers get Iron Man Hulk Busters suits and try fighting Godzilla and his children that have somehow originated from Hulk. This reminded me of Pacific Rim but the dialogue and story is just so childish and there is no sense of gravity or importance in the story. I can't go and criticize each and every point of the story because it will make this review go much longer.

The second episode of #WhatIf is absolutely amazing-wow.

This new chapter improves on everything from the pilot episode: it's interesting, visually stunning, filled with great characters, and well-written.

The story takes place in Hollywood, where Agatha Harkness seeks the power of the Celestial, weaving an impressive tale with many twists and turns that keep the audience engaged until the very end.

Despite being a short story, the episode delivers a beautiful message about cinema-what it represents and means to the world.

This episode is just great. If the next episodes are like this, I take back what I said about this being the worst season of the show.
