The Superhero Show Show #397
What If What If Created the What If Avengers?
It's the first season finale of What If…? on an all-new Superhero Show Show!
Cassie has reunited with both her boys, as Mike makes his triumphant return to the show after a few weeks off, just in time to watch the season finale of What If…?! The friends discuss the season overall, and whether or not it was successful, before dialing in on the final episode. Marvel wasn't able to tell 11 individual stories, and uses this opportunity to tie all of the episodes together. Was that a good idea? Does the show stick the landing? Tune in and find out!
As if that wasn't enough, the Friends are continuing their countdown to episode 400 by bracketing all of the shows that have come out since the first episode of the podcast! On today's episode, they hit the Marvel corner of the bracket. 8 Marvel shows will be booted forever. Tune in to see which ones get cut!
