Once again the second series of What If... is going for a lighter tone in comparison to its first season.
Iron Man didn't fall to New York after trying to get rid off the nuclear warhead. He goes through a portal and ends up in Sakar. The world of the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum.) The cool but not so benevolent leader.
He hosts gladiatorial car races to entertain the crowds while there is a famine.
Tony Stark is encouraged to enter the race but he just wants to get home and reunite with Pepper. However Gamora is there and she hates Stark.
As Stark realises that the Grandmaster needs to be stopped. He teams up with Korg but he could do with Gamora's help.
The episode has a Mad Max vibe but with a wackier tone. There is a good blend of humour, having Korg helps. Goldblum adds sinister.goofiness.
