What If…? Honors Howard the Duck, MCU's MVD (Most Valuable Duck)

Okay, while we're not getting into spoilers and we're leaving any reviews up to others, we will say that it was nice to see an episode of Disney+ and Marvel Studios' What If…? that wasn't so damn emo-crossed-with-gothic-horror. Though if we're completely honest, that ending was a bit of a mood-killer. That said, it's nice to see the most important character in the MCU getting the recognition that he deserves in the form of some cool character profile key art. Oh, and a side note? I know it leans way too much on the comics, but "What If… Howard the Duck Actually Became President of the United States of America Today?" would be a fun ride.

Here's a look back at the promo for "What If… Thor was an Only Child?" (and with it being Wednesday, that means you can stream it right now):

For a look at the alt-reality multiversal heroes of Disney+ & Marvel Studios' What If…? (and the possible "bigger picture" that this is all leading to), check out the midseason trailer below:
