What If... The Watcher Disappeared?

I directed this penultimate episode of the series. The mission here was to set the stage for the epic final episode by introducing this new team in a way that felt both heroic and lived in—and to do so in a limited amount of time.

The heroics happen in the opening sequence, where we pay off the Hydra-Champion from the very first What If…? episode. The introduction of a fuzzball table turned an otherewise plot-driven scene into that lived-in moment we needed for the team.
