'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' is on the horizon so we've compiled all of our previous reviews of Marvel Studios' animated adventure across the multiverse, 'What If...?' Now you can revisit our craziest theories, predictions and recaps of the Disney+ original series, as it will surely play a pivotal role in the upcoming Doctor Strange film. Spoilers Ahead: In the premiere, Captain Carter becomes the First Avenger instead of Steve Rogers, but did we think it was a strong opening to the series? (2:11). Episode 2 brings significant entertainment value as a young T'Challa is abducted from Wakanda and becomes the famous intergalactic mercenary, "Star-Lord" (23:52). As the series grows darker, the Avengers are mysteriously killed one-by-one while Nick Fury is attempting to recruit the Earth's Mightiest Heroes (47:10). Next, we travel to the Dark Dimension as Dr. Stephen Strange is consumed by grief and the magic of the Mystic Arts, leading to a genuinely shocking conslusion (1:01:11). In episode 5, chaos ensues as a zombie apocalypse that originated in the Quantum Realm threatens to infect the entire world (1:31:08). In Afghanistan, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens rescues Tony Stark from the Ten Rings, igniting his sinister plan to become the Black Panther (1:58:24). A nice change of pace arrives in the series' most fun episode, as Thor hosts the galaxy's biggest party (2:25:38). The penultimate episode finally prompts the Watcher to interfere as Ultron's devastating conquest wipes out almost all life in the universe (2:57:21). After the events of episode 8, the Guardians of the Multiverse assemble in the season 1 finale to defeat Ultron and take back the Infinity Stones (3:32:28). Finally, we look back and share our thoughts on the series as a whole, and speculate about the future consequences we may see unfold in future films (4:01:43).
