    The 1st was a great noir.
    The 2nd was something that could easily be spunoff into its own series
    But the 3rd… the 3rd had Justin Hammer dancing.

    "Here we have the essence of Christmas combat, my friends. These are not just cookies; they're Santa's favorites, the gingerbread, the sugar cookies with icing. This is a snowball-launching, sleigh-riding machine, equipped with candy cane missiles and a secondary peppermint explosion. It's capable of bringing festive cheer to even the Grinchiest of hearts. If it were any more brilliant, it would compose a holiday saga, a saga that would make 'The Night Before Christmas' seem like a simple jingle. It would recite it with the majesty of a Christmas Eve snowfall. This is my North Pole command center. This is my Handel's 'Messiah'. My Christmas Star. It's as sophisticated as a silent night, as awe-inspiring as a choir of angels, and ready to deliver a payload of joy to every corner of the world. I call it the X-Mas.”

    The episode was kinda enjoyable but like a lot of episodes in this show it felt like it didn’t make sense with the premise, what characters are involved and when it is meant to take place adjacent to the main mcu timeline.
    The Watcher says the What If? is “Hammer had more time”, which sounds silly like why not just say “what if he decided to break out of prison”. Sounds like they just wanted their annual multiverse saga Christmas thing and were like “how do we make it Die Hard themed?”.
    It’s obviously post-Avengers but before AoU cos the Iron Legion is involved but that must make it after IM3. Hill is still SHIELD (but director somehow, where’s Fury? even Darcy referenced him) so must be before Winter Soldier. Darcy is working for Happy for some reason like where is Jane? surely it’s post Dark World if Thor cos bifrost to Midgard straight away

    I realllly dislike What If and I couldn’t figure out why until I watched this video! They talk way too fast and the voice clips feel like they are layered right on top of each other. It’s because they have to squeeze in all this crappy quippy dialogue into these “thirty” minute episodes. It feels like I’m watching it at 1.5 times speed. If someone edits this show and spaced out the dialogue, maybe it’d be watchable for me. But for now it feels like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Gilmore Girls.
