As What Ifâ¦? heads into its endgame, The Watcher takes a detour to a reality inspired by the Old West. While Season 3’s sixth episode is a mostly episodic adventure in an alternate reality, one small act by The Watcher opens him up to face dire consequences in the final two episodes. If this weren’t the last season, “What Ifâ¦1872?” would be a perfectly fine episode, but it ends up feeling like a missed opportunity. This is especially the case since it spotlights Shang-Chi, who’s arguably one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most underused heroes. Both fans, and seemingly actor Simu Liu, feel that Marvel Studios “did Shang-Chi dirty” due to the character’s lack of further stories or a sequel three years after his debut. So, Shang-Chi and Kate Bishop from the Hawkeye series are welcome sights in What Ifâ¦? Season 3. Shang-Chi’s an important character in this setting because of the historical mistreatment of Chinese immigrants who were forced to build railroads during this period of American history. Investigating missing people, including his sister, drives his mission against The Hood, a villain set to debut in Ironheart.First introduced in the comics, the 1872 reality was an “Exotic Realm” left after the last Secret Wars event. While that series involved multiple variants of known heroes, this episode’s story is much smaller. It’s similar to the Season 2 episode set in 1602, especially because The Watcher does more than observe. As a mythic hero in the west, Shang-Chi and Kate inspire a young boy named Kawi Jin-Fan who is, unfortunately, fated to die. Again, because he can’t bare to let another needless tragedy happen, The Watcher intervenes.
