The Marvel Cinematic Universe rarely delves into animation, but What If…? has been evidence that superheroes can thrive in live-action and animation alike. With every episode, the show explores more twists and turns that the regular Earth-616 can never explore. Zombies can infect the world, Thor can throw a party, and Captain Carter can become a multiversal hero with the power and influence to save everything.As the MCU continues to develop the Multiverse Saga with Phase 5 and Phase 6, What If…? offers an exploration of just how wide and distinct every separate universe can be. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have featured some ridiculous worlds, but they pale in comparison to what What If…? offers. Yet, as Marvel Studios drops Jonathan Majors — and potentially the Kang the Conqueror plot — the very concept of the multiverse may be abandoned. As Marvel Studios considers its options, one question remains: What if What If…? is proof that the MCU needs the multiverse to thrive?The show slowly increases the stakes of the multiverse by featuring episodic narratives. Almost every episode features a new universe filled with new or modified characters. Captain Carter, a Ten Rings-powered Hela, and a dark version of Doctor Strange can all exist independently. By the end of each season, those characters can come together to battle a new enemy. They can also serve as new antagonists, as the menacing Infinity Ultron did. It provides a short opportunity to flesh out heroes without needing to develop entire movies or TV shows to feature a slight change in a character’s backstory.
