"What If...?" Overall Plot Prediction

Timmy 2022-12-27 15:29:52

The "What If...?" series is scheduled to start on Disney+ at 3 pm on August 11th. As the first animated series of the MCU, it is also the fourth series of the MCU. Famous, so I believe there are many people who look forward to it as much as I do. It will take nearly a month to see this work after the season finale of "Rocky", so I have nothing to do. Here, I will combine the trailers, posters and the exposed surroundings to make a round of the general plot. Make responsible predictions and see how many plots you can get right.

"What IF...?" Official Poster

The currently known information is that the show has 10 episodes, each of which is about 1 hour long, and tells about explaining what happened in the main universe from another perspective (the opposite). And it is in the form of a unit drama. At first, I thought that the story of each episode was independent, and the protagonists of each episode would not be connected. Until the announcement of the second trailer, I found that things were not simple.

The above-mentioned preview footage and posters can see that the protagonist of each episode seems to form a team similar to the reunion to fight against a certain force. Combined with the whole animation, the protagonist is actually the observer, (dubbed by Jeffrey White. In the comics, the mission of the observer is to record everything that happens in the Marvel universe. The core principle is "resolutely not to interfere with all progress", which This character has also appeared in the MCU, in the form of Easter eggs in "Guardians of the Galaxy 2")

Stan Lee, in a spacesuit, is talking with three observers about his experiences on Earth.

It can be inferred that the main plot of the show is: everyone who has watched the season finale of "Rocky" knows that the multiverse has been opened, and this has directly led to the multiverse falling into an unprecedented crisis. Everything, since he can only observe, can't interfere, but he can't stand idly by, so he can only recruit suitable people in different universes to form "multiverse guardians" to help him protect the multiverse from certain forces. Invasion. From the promotional posters, we can see that seven characters have joined the team, namely Captain Carter's version of England, T'Challa's version of Star-Lord, Supreme version of Doctor Strange, Gamora, who inherited the will of Thanos, and became the King of Wakanda. The "Leopard Brother", the female version of the widow sister, the party Thor. These seven should represent the plot of seven episodes respectively, and the last episode may be that the observers gather them together to form the "Guardian of the Multiverse", (and the remaining two episodes, I also have a lot of guesses, Will share with you in the next prediction) As for whether this animated series will be an orthodox work of MCU or a sideshow, it remains to be seen. After all, it is an animated series. Will Marvel compare it with live-action series/movies? It is still unknown to distinguish it. Maybe it has nothing to do with the multiverse opened by the season finale of "Rocky". It is a pure extra work, which is understandable. In short, the general plot line should be like this. As for how much you can guess, it will be revealed after the official release.

Finally, share the dubbing lineup of this animation. What has been determined is on this image released by SDCC.

At the same time, according to foreign media, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benicio Del Toro will not return as The voices of their respective characters, that is to say, Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, and The Collector will not be voiced by the original actors in this animation. But Andy Serkis revealed on social media that he will return to voice Ulysses Crowe in the animation. There are also some characters in the trailer, such as Widow Sister, Wanda, Vision, and Little Spider. . . However, there is no information on whether to participate in the dubbing, and the answer can only be revealed after the broadcast. (The dubbing lineup has been updated recently. The collectors and Doctor Strange who were previously revealed by foreign media who will not participate in the dubbing will still be dubbed by the original actors. If you are interested, you can go to the comment area to see the updated dubbing lineup. Someone has already made it. Added, thanks for this friend)

Of course, the most anticipated and most regrettable dubbing is the "Star Lord" T'Challa dubbed by Chadwick Boseman. This should also be the last performance of the actor himself???, he is forever Black Panther, Wakanda Forever! ! !

In the future, I should continue to share irresponsible predictions about the plot of the diversity episode. It is the first time to write a plot prediction. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me, and welcome to share different ideas!
