This was always one of my favorite comics to pick up monthly. You just never knew what was going to happen.
Haha. This was always what I hated about the What If series. I would just say "yeah, but that's not what really happened, so I don't care." It's also why I never liked the alternate universes : 712, 295, 616 ... Lord. It's about as nice a money-making scam as alternate jerseys!
What If was great because it let the writers have leeway to kill characters left and right. They made them for all the major arcs like What If the Avengers lost Atlantis Attacks or the Evolutionary War. You got to see some really dismal outcomes. Unfortunately that trailer looks like What If we exchange a male for a female or white boy for black. I’d like to see larger scale stories like the comics. More dark too.
I don’t think that’s how the watcher sounded in my head when I was kid. Sounds like he does open or something.
It's an interesting theory for the rest of the movie industry. They could easily shoot alternative endings and spin offs, and think people would see them. And it won't undermine the original in my opinion. The industry needs money and I could see this being a thing that allows them to make two movies for the price of 1.5.
WHAT IF...? Producer Teases Possible Live-Action Future For Characters And Stories In The Animated Series What If...? executive producer Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that the characters and ideas seen in the Disney+ animated series aren't necessarily restricted to the show and could be adapted in the MCU! JoshWilding | 8/4/2021 Filed Under: "What If" Source: Inverse While we only know the premise of a few episodes of What If...?, there's already a huge amount of excitement about exploring these vastly different versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, some fans have argued that the likes of Captain Carter and Marvel Zombies are wasted on a Disney+ animated series (despite rumours there are live-action plans for the former). Well, during a recent interview with Inverse, What If...? executive producer and Marvel Studios veteran Brad Winderbaum made it clear any of these ideas could one day be used in a live-action project. "We wanted each story to be able to be open and shut in that half an hour timeframe, but it's hard not to imagine more chapters with some of these characters," he teased. "I hope that one day we do get to see more adventures in some of these alternate timelines." "All you have to do to prove that is look back at how many stories from the What If...? comics ended up in the main continuity of the comic universe," Winderbaum continued. "My prediction is a similar thing could happen on the cinematic side as well." It feels a lot like he might be alluding to those Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness rumours there, eh? It's certainly exciting to think about how What If...? could inspire the wider MCU, regardless of whether that's with animated characters making the jump to live-action or Marvel Studios simply using the series to inspire future movies (Marvel Zombies would make for one heck of a movie down the line).
