    Nice first episode, waiting for the second

    Just watched the first episode, so chose to write the review while it's still fresh.

    I liked it a lot, the animation is amazing and the voice acting is nice too. Josh Keaton's voice is incredibly resemblant to Chris Evans', I wouldn't have noticed the change if I didn't know about it before watching.

    I liked to see the changes in the story of The First Avenger following the experiment with Peggy Carter, loved seeing skinny Steve Rogers again and hearing Sebastian Stan's voice for Bucky. The score is awesome too and I'm very excited to see how everything's going to connect.

    Can't wait to watch episode 2, bring it on, Marvel!

    An solid beginning....

    Needed at least 15 more minutes to breathe and tell the story smoothly . Impressive animation and visuals. Surely things could only get better. Glad Marvel is taking constant risks first with the shows n now with this. Really looking forward to the future episodes.

    Nice

    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.

    A different but great perspective

    The story is short and very fast paced, so for anyone in a hurry, watching this episode is a great option IF you are an MCU fan. And that's a big if since I believe the story would not be as effective if the audience was not already familiarized with the first Captain America movie. Without the established MCU, the episode is at best just good enough. But having watching the previous films makes it much more enjoyable with the references and how the story unfolds in a similar direction but with a different perspective. It stays true to the characters and I just enjoyed so much watching them again with a different setting. Definitely recommended to anyone who enjoys the Marvel characters.

    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.

      In one scene the vials of super-soldier serum are injected into Peggy Carter then in the next scene as the pod closes the vials are all full and glowing again.

      The Watcher: There. That's the moment that created a new universe. When asked to leave the room, Margaret "Peggy" Carter chose to stay. But soon, it would be her venturing into the unknown and creating a new world.
