Speaking of.....I'm waiting to get a glimpse of the cosmic side in What If? since they've given us the Watcher (and Dormammu earlier). But, they're strictly adhering to established MCU stories and characters so far, and it's a little frustrating lol. Give me Galactus or Mephisto or Gladiator or Annihilus or any of the cosmic heavy hitters for crying out loud, already! Ha

New What if episode is pretty crazy, after the meh Thor party boy episode.

:D
Yeah, this was a MUCH better episode. This has been a wildly up and down show.

Knull is coming to the MCU

That said, still a great episode. They did a great job of unexpectedly combining the previous eps into a storyline. Very much enjoyed this one and looking forward to the next one.

The crustier side of me has a hard time getting over inconsistent internal logic like that (the ravens who flew as fast as 737's in GOT are another example) and makes it hard for me to see the difference from What If to Fan Fiction.

But, that's just me being crusty.

Well if the Russo Brothers got involved, even indirectly, that would explain much.

Oooooooooh! I’m in!

That's pretty fun. There's no question that Kathryn Hahn killed it in that role.

I actually didn’t mind this. Thanos clearly enjoyed playing with his food and the stones haven’t been shown to have any passive effects for the user. I don’t find it outside the realm of possibility that this version of Ultron would just go straight for the nuke option right off the bat and catch Thanos off guard.

How badass is this Eldritch Strange, though?
