SPOILERS!!! Don’t read unless you want to know the events of the Episode.
This is the third day of the eight-episode What If Spectacular. This episode stars Alexei Shostakov the Red Guardian voiced by David Harbour and Bucky Barnes the Winter Soldier voiced by Sebastian Stan. The Winter Soldier is assigned to eliminate all American scientists, the Starks. However, the Red Guardian stops the assignation. The duo then goes on a road trip to Las Vegas in order to return home to Russia, but the organization S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to stop them. The team then finds that they will have no help on their escapade. In the end, Bucky gets taken by the Russians and Alexei joins the Avengers.
I think that this episode was mediocre. Throughout the episode, there were amazing highs and disappointing lows. Certain jokes were hilarious while others were dry and unfunny. The action in my opinion was endearing and the story of them finding themselves was heartwarming. The inclusion of characters earlier in the timeline is great just like the last episode. Alexxi was the standout of this episode and the change of voices just shows the talent of the cast. But some points got boring and the capitalist jokes got old after a while.
Certain jokes and the fight scenes were amazing but the rest was just dull. I give it a 3.7/5 ☆’s.
See you next time for Episode 4: “What If…Howard the Duck got hitched?”
