Progressive
Primary
The series explores alternate realities and the consequences of different choices within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its primary focus on imaginative narrative possibilities and varied heroic solutions across diverse scenarios prevents it from consistently promoting a specific political ideology.
The animated series demonstrates significant diversity through its intentional recasting of traditionally white or male roles with minority actors and women in alternate realities. While exploring these diverse scenarios, the narrative focuses on new possibilities and heroism rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The series features multiple female characters, including Captain Carter, Black Widow, and Gamora, who are depicted engaging in and winning close-quarters physical combat against various male opponents, utilizing martial arts, melee weapons, and enhanced physical abilities.
The series features Captain Carter, an alternate version of Peggy Carter who takes the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers. This portrays a female character in the heroic role canonically established for the male Captain America, constituting a gender swap.
The animated anthology series 'What If...?' explores diverse alternate timelines within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, it does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes in its narratives across its two seasons. Consequently, there is no specific LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate within the show's content.
The animated series "What If...?" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes across its episodes. The narrative focuses on alternate realities within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, without exploring transgender identities or experiences.
The animated series 'What If...?' explores alternate timelines for established Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. It maintains the original racial portrayals of these characters from their live-action or comic book counterparts, without depicting any character as a different race.
