So this dropped yesterday by surprise. It was supposed to come out October as a Halloween thing, but I guess it got released in a panic move to stop Disney+ cancellations. First episode was good, managed to grab me. ---

PS: It’s four episodes total, slightly over a half hour each, and a complete story. ---

The animation style is too terrible for me to be willing to watch it. I didn’t even finish the trailer. ---

It looks just like the What If? series. ---

I only watched the Howard the Duck episode of those. ---

So I just learned the reason this is a show and not a movie is the Spiderman movie rights. They could only show him in a TV show. ---

In the future everything is smaller. The mini series has become the micro series! ---

It’s an alternate universe where the most important superheroes are four Marvel D-listers…oh, and all the A-listers are zombies. ---

Superheroes as zombies is what I suspected, but D-listers being superheroes sounds more interesting. ---

There’s backstory in the “what if?” series, but this seems to be standalone.
