Marvelvision: "WHAT IF... Captain Carter Were The First Avenger?"

Behold the multiverse!

The latest Marvel TV show goes in very unexpected directions, both in terms of plot and style. It's the first animated show from Marvel Studios, and it's a show based on the wonderful comic book What If...?, which looked at important points in Marvel history and wondered what would happen if they went a little bit differently.

But does it work? While Uatu the Watcher asks "What if?" we ask whether it's any good. The premiere episode gets some mixed marks from us. Before we get there we discuss Marvel news, including COVID impacts on release dates. And we talk about the secret truth behind movie junkets and the way reactions to movies come in waves.

Speaking of release dates, if you want to hear us talking about all the upcoming MCU movies (assuming they come out), join the Patreon! $5 and above subscribers get access to Watch Men, a monthly superhero deep dive podcast. The last two episodes have been about The Suicide Squad and Black Widow and they're lengthy. The Suicide Squad one is three hours - you're getting your money worth!

Thanks for listening and we'll be back next week with another What If...?.
