10 minutes in and while I guessed that Cruella would put in work to redeem its namesake I underestimated the lengths it would go to in order to demonize Dalmatians. Holy fuck.

Been enjoying What If…? but man they better revisit some of these scenarios and give me some closure.
[+] spoiler
I know some of the previews make it look like they might, but this week’s episode especially needs a part 2.

I have been watching. I pretty much could have gone without it.

I have been.

I thought up until last week that each individual episode was going to lead up to some sort of finale that incorporated all the prior episodes. I do believe they are doing a second season.

Me too, as far as the first part of your statement within the spoiler tags.

As far as what AB said, I think 2 have been pretty great, 2 others a lot of fun, and 2 others I could take or leave.

I’d go 2-1-3 on that scoring system.

Disney has us all as suckers. Low quality cheap animation, a few low cost production teen dramas, some decent docs under Nat Geo brand, and a blockbuster live action all tied to brands we love (Marvel, Disney, etc). What if is okay. But there are better threads to pull and apply those computer animation resources.

I do appreciate the effort to tie the threads to the overarching stories they are building for movies (like the short connecting Iron Man to the new Marvel movie)

The Dug stuff were fun shorts that timed well with Ed Asner's passing make a nice tribute.

It's happening!

Do feel like this latest episode did either "our" Vision or that other Thanos wrong in order to get the stones to Ultron. Plus Ultron seemed to clean out his initial universe pretty quick if he did it all by direct attack. But whatever, once he broke through the Watcher's wall that was pretty fun.

Could take What if or leave it. Nothing special to me at all. A couple of episodes were just plain stupid.

Yeah, I have zero interest in Disney+. I think I had an option of a free year subscription at one point and didn't even bother.

I've liked Ms Marvel so far (even if the vibe started off a little teen-ish and even if it's set but not filmed on location in Jersey City), and the Bon Jovi jokes from an episode or two ago paid off big time in episode 3.

I thought it got a little rushed/smushed at the end (episodes 5 and 6, I guess) but she's great and the show was overall still fun.

Enjoyed it...typical disney+ marvel. Fun decent story and way to connect other marvel movies/shows. Very likeable characters who were well played by the actors. Only one I did not like was the lady from Orange is the New Black.

Through 2 episodes I think it is a much better produced show than some of the Disney+ marvel offerings. I know it ends up tying in way more so I have to wait, but I thought it was a fresh look (character not in the movies so far helped) but was just blown away with how they made it and the CGI working in the background so much.

X-Men ‘97 is pretty great. I didn’t religiously watch the original series (no time as a college-man) but I did read that era (or slightly earlier) of the comics so I’m not completely u aware of the lore.
