I feel like it hit a nice balance between the comedy focused episodes and the dark ones; this episode was definitely heavy, but it didn't feel as joyless as some of the others. Next week must be the finale right?

    Surprised there's not more talk about it here, honestly.

    Hope your ears feel better.

    They've never stated the stones don't work in different realities, that is a comic thing.

    They just don't work in the TVA. Just how no magic worked in the TVA. The TVA got some sort of weird thing about it. Magic obviously works in other universes

    If you treat it as a stand alone cartoon instead as "part of the MCU," it is much better.

    Trying to make sense of everything.... doesn't work lol

    If i had a magic MCU genie to redo stuff

    I would have done the episodes different.

    Star-Challa- Ep1 & 2. Show us more of what T'challa did growing up. More show, less tell.

    Marvel Zombies- Ep 3 & 4. Really good episode but needed more time.

    Dark Strange - Ep 5. This felt like the most narratively tight episode, it really didn't need much longer time. Probably the best single episode in the show.

    Party Thor- Ep 6-7. Need another light hearted ish episodes and i think you can do more with this concept.

    UltraVision- ep 8 & 9.

    I didn't find the captain carter to be different enough to warrant an episode, the murder mystery avengers was just ****, and killmonger is just getting sacrificed to have better party thor episide lol

    So you're saying you don't like Sam Jackson's Nick Fury?!! He was in the Captain Carter and the Death of the Avengers episodes! Iron Man and Nick Fury are two of my favorite MCU characters.



    I was pissed (and so were PLENTY of other fans) that Jackson's role was so diminished in Phase 3. That's why I'm happy to be seeing him again in Secret Invasion. Besides RDJ, it was actually Jackson who got me into the MCU. When I was reading comics, Fury was white. But I love Jackson's interpretation of that character.

    What If is the most uneven show so far. Some concepts need more than one episode to be explored, others need to have been thought through better and there are loads of inconsistencies.

    Captain Carter, Star T'Challa, evil Hank Pym and the Killmonger/Stark eps were good. People like the Dr Strange ep because of it's downer ending but ultimately I thought it could have been done better. Especially since Christine was portrayed as his ex in the first movie. I would like to have seen a better divergent point.

    Ikaris and Superman comparisons .

    Looks like the Superman comparisons are intentional.

    spoilers:
    Which makes it all the more likely that he will be the villain at the end of the movie alongside Barry Keoghan's Druig.

    There's no way they aren't. Look at the cgi when Ikarus uses his eye lasers, it is almost exactly the same as Man of Steel era Superman; different color but the way it lights up the veins around his eye sockets, the whole thing, it is far, far too similar to be unintentional.

    Whether that makes your theory more or less likely.....I think you're probably right but I dunno if I'd go so far as to say it's "likely" yknow?

    I mean, at this point, there are more dickhead evil supermen around that regular superman lol

    So, you could guess and have a high percent of being right.

    Ha, that's true. But since none of us are industry insiders (right?) guessing is exactly what we're doing.
