What if... Nebula joined the Nova Corps?
Personally I LOVED season 1 of What if...?. I thought it was fantastic! It surprised me in so many waves, and had me love each of the different versions of the characters they portrayed! Sure, there were a few episodes that really didn't need to be there, and some character inconsistencies. But again, it IS the multiverse!
My favorites were the murder mystery episode with Nick Fury, Doctor Strange episode, and Ultron. Top 3.
Now obviously I was awaiting S2. This new episode was okay. What I really liked about it is that it had an awesome animation style, the shots were really well executed! I also really enjoyed the the side characters, especially Howard the Duck! I enjoyed this new side to Nebula, it made sense to the character.
What I didn't like was that it was way too short - a big issue in the first season -, if you add up the time it's only like 23 minutes. Everything was so rushed. They could've showed how it affected people around the globe more. It was very simple. Also, the characters won in like 2 seconds. There was like no security in that Nova Corps building. One thing about the T-Challa episode of S1 is that the breaking in part was very well executed, and it was layers of plans. Which is something they should've done here. Also when did Xandar ever have a planet shield??? Now that was ridiculous. It wasn't put up in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, it wasn't put up in Infinity War, when Thanos came to take the power stone. It wasn't put up in What If...? Ep8 when Ultron came to destroy the planet. I understand it's a plot device, but come on, it felt like lazy writing.
I wish this episode made it more like a... who killed Yondu and why throughout the whole episode. Like a murder mystery. I don't know.
Anyway, the characters were good, and it was a solid beginning, better than Peggy Carter one. Hopefully this season, like the last, gets better with time.
