What I’m Watching: What If…?

What If…? Season 1, Episode 6 “What If…Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?” (B-)

Even though I definitely saw the first “Iron Man” movie and I’m pretty sure that Killmonger first appeared in “Black Panther,” which I also saw, I still don’t remember the exact details of who was involved in the various inciting elements of their origin stories. This series is highly dependent on that knowledge, since the differences that are seen relate to what characters aren’t involved and how their absence or presence changes everything. It was interesting to see Killmonger save Tony and how the two of them worked closely together, which came to a swift and deadly end when Tony realized Killmonger’s true intentions but then ended up getting killed since the trained warrior was able to get the best of him. Having him command an American army to invade Wakanda only to not to do it because he had his own ulterior motives was somewhat intriguing but ultimately not all that involving. As usual, I spent most of the episode wondering which voices were the same as the actors from the movies. I think I thought that it was Robert Downey Jr. as Tony, but apparently that wasn’t the case (it was Mick Wingert), but most of the rest were the original voices: Michael B. Jordan, Chadwick Boseman, Leslie Bibb, Jon Favreau, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Danai Gurira, and Angela Bassett, with Jeff Bridges and Letitia Wright replaced as Obadiah Stane and Letitia Wright as Shuri replaced. That’s probably the most enjoyable part of this show, since its storylines are hit or miss.
