I figured I'd start the thread for the newest MCU show hitting Disney+! This animated series takes a look at the MCU through a different lens from the POV of The Watcher, voiced by Jeffrey Wright, who "ponders the question - What If...".
In this first episode, the basic concept is "What if Peggy Carter took the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers?", and we see how she becomes Captain Carter, in place of Steve becoming Captain America.
One of the biggest draws for this show is that many of the MCU actors have come back to voice their roles in animated form. Pretty much everyone who played these characters in Captain America: The First Avenger returns for this episode of the series, with two notable exceptions - Steve Rogers and Red Skull, although Ross Marquand returns from Infinity War/Endgame to voice Red Skull, so Ross has now played Red Skull more than Hugo Weaving! Go figure.
There are a LOT of visual cues, references, and even recreations from TFA in this episode, so if you're familiar with the first Captain America film, you'll notice a lot of these fun moments and parallels! One of my favorites was a moment between Peggy and Bucky and what he says to her (you'll know it when you get to it).
This is a great first episode, and from what I've heard from the showrunners, Captain Carter will be returning across the series and the second season. As for the series itself, it was originally said that it would be 2 seasons of 10 episodes each, but last week, it was later reported by Collider that the series would be 2 seasons of 9 episodes each, with episodes of about 30 minutes each (some longer, some shorter).
