Marvel's WHAT IF?

[TheDucky]

I don't like her.

The fact that she is the running for a possible Mara Jade role is sad.

I don't now what a Teela is but you're off-base with Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers. The majority of the illustrators who have penned her in the comics since she took over the CM mantle have given her plenty of curves. Having a full costume (not unlike Captain Carter, btw) and a shorter haircut doesn't make her androgynous. Heck, she's most often drawn as the Charlize Theron statuesque type, and she's had an on-going, off/on romantic relationship with Rhodey most of the time.

(Sorry couldn't resist )

Given it was a Kree space suit I cut them slack for the initial design, but going forward you’d think they’d give her a less restrictive, more form fitting suit. Fully powered she no longer even needs the suit to go space, so a fabric catsuit will work just fine. I’m sure Brie wouldn’t mind wearing something more comfortable, plus they’ll likely CGI the hell out of it anyway lol.

Much agreed! I'd definitely like to see a more comic looking suit, and of course I think Brie will look beautiful in it.

For example, something like this (another artist's render):

Geez, would it kill her to SMILE for once her life???

I was referring to stuff like this:

[...]

Well, I did say the majority of the illustrators.
The first and last examples there are pretty bad - I don’t care for those animation styles whatsoever. The two in the middle IMO aren’t any “butcher” than Captain Carter. You can’t really judge them based on haircuts, as Peggy is from the 1940s when short hairstyles for women were mostly nonexistent. And i don’t know how you can judge the third one when any curves are hidden by the leather jacket.

Admittedly when I read some CM comics, I found the artwork off-putting and unflattering for the character. I couldn't quite get into the stories because of the distracting artwork lol

Loved the animation but yeah some SJW stuff going on. Difficult to believe Peggy and Steve’s relationship would’ve progressed without Steve’s physical transformation.

Why? She was clearly always interested in him for who he was as a person.

You mean Steve was a nice stand up guy and stood out among all those A-holes she had to put up with? But he doesn't have muscles! How could a woman possibly like him. Especially one that can take the Super Soldier serum no problem. It's not like women have a higher pain threshold or anything.

 

[meanstreak]

the episode was OK... never really cared about Peggy outside of Captain America 1. Maybe the other episodes will resonate with me more.

That only happens in the movies or animated spin offs. In real life Steve would’ve been regulated to “friend” status. Even then in the first movie she was just ”charmed” by weakling Steve but only when he transformed and got those super soldier pecs did her ovaries dance a jig and Steve become “the whole package” Captain bangable.

It really doesn’t, there are plenty of people in real life that don’t care about appearances at all, sometimes a good personality is all that it takes to impress someone.

I'd say most of the time. But I think women may be more likely to overlook physical imperfections than men (at least when they're younger) -- and to be fair Steve literally took bullets in combat with zero fear, which would probably elevate him. It's an unlikely pairing but not impossible in context.

Geezus. Lots of simps here. Lots.

I agree with most of this. Not sure I agree that women are more likely to overlook physical imperfections though, but there doesn't seem to be any real evidence for this and a whole bunch of anecdotal evidence. The only example I know of is from a study about ten years ago done by an online dating site where women rated 80% of men unattractive, while men rated women more evenly. Obviously this is a limited population, and I haven't actually read the study.
I also get the feeling that most of us are not younger adults and started dating before Tinder etc, so aren't really reflective of how that generation acts and thinks.
Peggy and Steve is definitely possible, and despite what I think of the episode as a whole, I never doubted this aspect - Peggy alwys came across as character over looks/wealth, otherwise she would have been all over Howard.

 

[SwedishHeat]

Folks are so hung up on this 'SJW propaganda' crap they're retconning The First Avenger in their own heads.

Peggy was attracted to Steve Rogers for the same reasons Erskine thought Steve was the ideal candidate to be Captain America.

There's a few 'nice guys' in here too.

Sorry Ducky, forgot you were the absolute alpha male on this forum. Apologies.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I updated my review to include one more negative:

It’s animated.

Old man Jye is old.

More like Alfalfa.

Damn right.

Nobody. And I mean nobody, has a duck the size of my duck. It’s huuuuuiuge. Some say it is the biggest they have ever seen. Believe me.
