Having mostly forgotten about it, I don't remember how I felt about the Tony content. On the whole I do remember thinking that it seemed like What If didn't really like Tony very much and that was something that annoyed me, as Tony is my favorite character (in movie level canon). I seem to recall thinking that some of what was here worked, but then Tony was dead halfway through the story. Plus the story seemed to be taking Killmonger's side and that bugs me.

Because yeah, I think you and I might have come at it from pretty different angles regarding Killmonger and Black Panther. I really don't like Killmonger, either the character or his presentation in the movie (or here); I just don't find him compelling on almost any level. Maybe the acting, but I think that ultimately contributes to me feeling like the show wants me to take his side and yet I can't, which kind of makes it worse. He's part of what drags Black Panther down to a meh movie for me.

You are, as always, welcome to go back and read my other reactions. For more controversial opinions like Steve Rogers is the Worst.
