Oh Hey, Here’s a Marvel What If…? Trailer Too
This weekend delivered us some awesome Marvel movie trailers, and yesterday delivered the trailer for the third season of the What If…? cartoon show! I like What If…? It’s a fun show with neat animation. Sometimes they really have fun with it. Let’s hope they have fun with this season.
Yep, that was a really great trailer ending! They made the right choice with that inclusion. That’s what’s going to get people talking. The rest of the trailer looked fun…but I’ll be honest, heh…when it was just people’s faces and not costumes, I couldn’t tell who anybody was. I knew the cowboy was Shang-Chi because of a previous trailer with closed captions. Perhaps I should have turned closed captions on with this trailer, then I’d know who was talking.
Definitely didn’t need them for Storm talking!
The third and final season of What If…? arrives on Dec. 22 for another Christmastime marathon!

Did You See This Sweet Marvel Disney+ Trailer?
To coincide with the Agatha All Along finale, Marvel put out this sizzle reel of upcoming Disney+ releases. This teaser trailer delivers our first official looks at Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart, Eyes of Wakanda, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and, especially, Wonder Man! Everything looks so good!
I remain a staunch fan of Marvel Studios content. Agatha All Along was very good and I really enjoyed the finale. And I can’t wait for these shows! I know people aren’t too excited for Ironheart, but I think it looks good! I prefer my Iron People to be nuts and bolts, not nanomachines. And Wonder Man could be a real sleeper hit. Daredevil: Born Again will hopefully live up to all the hype. And the various cartoons should be a hoot!
Granted, this means 2025 is going to be full of Marvel content, with three movies and now half a dozen shows. But I think Marvel just needs to burn off all these completed projects before they slow their releases. And I’m all for it!

6 Thoughts on the Second Season of What If…?
I had a great holiday season, seeing family, getting presents and having a good time. The whole thing was lifted by the second season of Marvel’s What If…?, a cartoon show based on the classic comic book series, tilted now towards the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think it remains a great idea for a cartoon spin-off of the MCU, and the second season did not disappoint.
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I was always a big fan of the What If…? comics and read more than a few in my day. It’s just a fun idea, and it’s just as fun when applied to the MCU. That makes the episodes a little more limiting, since they don’t have access to the full Marvel comics universe. But when there’s only 10 or so episodes a season, they’ve got more than enough material to play around with.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of the second season of What If…? Expect SOME SPOILERS for the season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryFriendly Reminder: New Marvel What If…? Starts Today!
The new season of Marvel’s What If…? cartoon starts today! It’s available on Disney+ as we speak! I really enjoyed the first season, and I have high hopes for this second season. Marvel is still good to me and I’m happy to watch. I’ll probably binge some of the episodes this weekend when I head out of town to visit family for Christmas.
Here’s a very brief trailer/ad that came out yesterday about today’s debut.
Yeah, that trailer heavily implies that What If…? will start “tomorrow”, but I assure you, that trailer came out yesterday. What If…? starts today! So go watch.
I’m most excited to see the new, 1980s era Avengers. I even bought the Goliath Marvel Legends action figure because I think it’s neat that he gets to exist in cartoon and toy form only. So we’ll see how that episode goes.

Marvel Trailer Thursday
Look, I don’t run the world. I didn’t decide that two trailers for Marvel projects would come out yesterday, even if one was only Marvel adjacent. I like to share trailers. Here are some neat trailers. What am I supposed to do about it, other than share them?!
First up is the good trailer, for the second season of What If…?
Looks great to me! Avengers circa 1980s MCU? Heck yeah! Everybody on the Collector’s planet doing deadly stock car racing? Heck yeah! There’s supposed to be a Christmas episode. And a 1602 episode. So I’m fully on board with more of this cartoon. It’s gonna come out daily at Christmas, which is a neat idea. Let’s see how that works!
Next up is the trailer, and our first real look, at Madame Web. This is gonna be a dumpster fire.
I have always thought this movie would be a trainwreck, and this trailer confirms it. Man, what a mess. I’m not entirely sure what’s even happening, but it does not look good. Madame Web is the worst possible choice Sony could have made for another attempted Spider-Man adjacent movie, and they have done nothing with the character. Throw in a bunch of other female Spider characters from Marvel, and it just gets worse.
This is gonna be a big disaster than Morbius. Madame Web comes out for Valentine’s Day.
