Some parts of it wouldn't. I mean, wouldn't look at all. They'd be invisible to us, just as sound from a far enough distance is inaudible.

There's also an alternative explanation: the redshift is a true Doppler, but not because of any big bang, but because the whole universe is actually intelligent. And running away from us as fast as it can, which is proof enough that it is intelligent.
