Hulk vs Mech Avengers: Comic Universe Review

Season 3, Episode 1 of What If…? introduces a new team of Mech Avengers facing an accidentally enhanced Hulk. The episode opens with a unique twist as Bruce tries to use Gamma to eliminate the Hulk but ends up releasing something even more dangerous. This leads to the Avengers creating mech suits to combat the new threat. The story kicks off with an unexpected premise that sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

Sam and Monica venture to an alternate location and encounter a powerful entity, hinting at further challenges ahead. The introduction of an alpha Hulk controlling others adds a layer of complexity to the plot. The action-packed sequences involving the Avengers assembling their mech suits for battle evoke a nostalgic Power Rangers vibe, making for an engaging watch.

While the episode offers some exciting moments, there are also aspects that fall short. The voice acting, particularly for characters like Bucky, feels lacking, and the Mega Hulk finale may stretch the concept too far. The lack of a clear “what-if” scenario in this episode detracts from its connection to established storylines, making it feel somewhat disconnected from the series’ premise.

Despite its flaws, the episode delivers entertaining scenes and a standout moment involving Bruce’s explosive entrance. Sam stands out as a strong character, while others fail to leave a lasting impact. Overall, the Godzilla meets Power Rangers concept in this episode may not hit the mark as successfully as previous installments of the series.

For fans of What If…?, this episode may offer some enjoyable moments but falls short in terms of character development and adherence to the series’ core premise. While not every story in the What If…? series may hit the mark, this particular installment struggles to deliver a cohesive and impactful narrative, scoring a 5.2 out of 10 in our review.
