What If...?

Marvel launches What If...? today on Disney+ as an animated series, with this first season tweaking stories covered in the MCU. So we get Captain Carter, a different Avengers Initiative, Tony Stark saved by Killmonger...

It is, as Jeffrey Wright notes as the Watcher in the trailer, a simple question with endless possible answers.

Visits to parallel universes are a sometimes feature of RPGs with a suitable Weird Level.

Having read a number of What If...? comics over the years, first as specials for the UK reprint comics of the characters involved, I am also looking forward to seeing how many of the usual three endings we get.

1: An interesting parallel universe with some potential, likely to be revisited in Exiles or something like that.
2: Everything pretty much goes back to normal.
3: EVERYBODY DIES
