Marvel's WHAT IF?

[TheDucky]

All I see is Batman Returns lol

Ohhhh Jye actually clicked it

 

[greygoose]

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.

Spoiler

Everybody ducky until the goose walk in.

Shouldn't this be called Marvel's WHAT THE F***?

 

[JAWS]

Just watched the first episode

Meh…

I had trouble staying awake.

Any What If comics I ever read the stories had some sort of meaning or consequence of the What If scenario. Nothing really changed here accept Cap no longer has a *****.

About as boring of a What If story they could have come up with IMO.

Hope the rest of the episodes are more interesting.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They should do a "What if..." a diversity episode had been done in 1976.

Or "What if..." White Panther.


Just to make people crazy...

Zombie Hunter Spidey is the only thing I am interested in. Not sure if Strange will be doing anything cool. They are recycling their material too much.

My enthusiasm slowly begins to wane lol

Since Peggy didn't have a connection with Bucky I assumed that they were potentially setting up Steve to be her version of the Winter Soldier who will be alive in her future 2012. Who knows.

See this is what the show should have been rather then just just changing the gender of Cap.

Some sort of consequence for Steve not becoming Cap… How perfect if that turned him into the WS

How about since Stark Sr made the outfit.. Tony never becomes IM and thus Loki wins in NY

Now I am assuming this is a one and done show. Maybe we will see something like I mentioned if this is a two part story… However if I go by the comics then these shows will be one and done.

I
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.

You may be right. Upon reflection I think there was a time women's choices were limited due to economic inequality and lack of opportunity, which may be where that old idea is coming from.

All things being equal, it seems likely that women are likely to be as 'shallow' as men; but maybe it comes down to the old 'F*** or Marry' game -- choices are always going to be based at least partly on desired objective.

While I take pains to keep fit and present well, I ain't Brad Pitt and I've always felt I punched above my weight in the mating game, but had I been shorter, squatter, bad teeth or whatever ... maybe I wouldn't have had the opportunities I have.

I liked the story, and the Captain Carter character looks cool. My only real complaint is the lackluster computer animation. The facial expressions suffered the worst of it. It looked like a cheap video game. If only they would have invested in traditional animation. That would have been stellar! If HT actually releases the Captain Carter figure, I will most likely buy it.

I already forgot about this until I saw this thread again.

At the end of the day it’s a cartoon so like every other cartoon it will only matter when elements from it are converted to live action.

I don't think these are intended to be one and dones. There might be some one and done episodes but I think these will somehow weave into a larger story. I'm guessing Steve comes back as the Winter Soldier or something similar as it's laid out too nicely to do so.

Gotta disagree with that

I didn’t see any indication that they were setting him up to become the WS but i’m also not willing to discount it either.

Well the next two episodes are not dealing with that storyline… Also the fact that Steve survived the train fall kinda ruins that he will become the WS

I think it’s a one and done. Just a poorly done What If story.

the next one is another character swap story and then the 3rd is about The Avengers… Maybe Cap Carter is in that one but nobody has said it’s a continuation of that story.

Just got done saying the same.

I think this story is done though and with the way it was told…. I’m fine with that

They could have really linked the episodes up if they made Captain Carter come back through the portal as a zombie to kick off Marvel zombies, but we know that isn't happening as we've seen zombie Captain America.

Star Lord starring Chadwick Boseman

Black Panther starring Gina Carano...

I watched it again today and still really enjoyed it. I'm fine with this series just seemingly being what it's been marketed as, a full on pocket universe where they just twist some of the existing MCU tropes for the fun of it. I'm guessing this episode wasn't too different than when Jane Foster became Thordis in the 70's.

One thing that did annoy me on the rewatch was Peggy breaking down the physics of how the monster would go back through the portal to Howard. Okay she took the serum so she gets to do Steve's thing but also having her one up Howard with the science? Come on now. Otherwise I still loved the animation and action and thought it was fun to hear so many authentic MCU voices.
