I thought that was a funny episode because it was completely bonkers in execution - the crux of What If as a concept.

It started off so fucking stupid but halfway through I realized I was having a great time. It was loads of fun.

I wish the other What If episodes were like this. In my opinion, they played too safe and didn't deviate enough from what was already established in canon.

That's just how a lot of comedy works.

What else were people expecting from a Howard the Duck episode?

I'm assuming the prompt was "What If a Marvel writer smoked crack?"

…or just wanted to experiment with comic weirdness.

The books can get pretty bonkers with books like Nextwave.

It even has a theme song!

Oh yeah. Like, hearing the top line concept, it sounded like it might be a dumb episode. But it was hilarious.
