Every MCU Disney+ Series Ranked Worst To Best (So Far)

5. What If...?

Every one of the MCU’s first five series on Disney+ have been unique, some more so than others, however What If…? is arguably the most unique of all thanks to its animated style. This is something that the franchise is looking into more moving forward with Marvel Zombies, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, and X-Men ’97, but for now this sits in a category of its own.

The narrative of the series that sent Jeffrey Wright’s Watcher across different universes, studying stories and characters before bringing them altogether to fight Ultron was incredibly interesting, and the all-seeing character was arguably the MVP of the whole series. However, this was easily the most inconsistent series of the lot.

There were some truly outstanding episodes, based around Doctor Strange, a zombie infested universe, and Ultron’s exploration of the multiverse, but at the other end of the spectrum there were some terribly disappointing outings following Captain Carter, Killmonger, and Thor.

Overall, What If…? was entertaining, and the animated nature was impressive though flawed, but it was let down by a few sub-par episodes. With infinite stories from infinite universes to tell, there was a certain amount of disappointment at What If…?’s first season. Hopefully this can be changed when Jeffrey Wright returns for season two.
