Why did they bother setting this in 1602 if they weren't going to even try to adapt the original Neil Gaiman series? Gaiman's 1602 was a smart limited series that remixed characters from the Marvel comics with an historically accurate setting. I doubt the writers of this episode even read the wiki entry for the original 1602 comics, much less glanced at the series itself.
Disney took one of the best What If?-style stories and made a low brow, badly written platform for the central MCU characters. It might as well have been set at a Renaissance faire in Ohio. Series 2 of this show has been pretty bad, but as a fan of Gaiman's 1602 this was gross.
