I've watched none, really. I've only got Disney+ right now because we updated our phones. I've got six months to catch up. I'm starting with Loki and I just started episode 4 now.

Oh right. Good luck. If it was anyone else they’d be in trouble but I have faith in Squeek’s TV skills. Hope you enjoy them. Oh also, you’re not watching them in order? (not that it matters actually)

I rather liked the Star Trek stuff, but the Twilight Zone stuff sucked. I used to love the old TZ, but only got through about maybe 3 episodes.

What's the order? I have no clue, lol

 

[Iceman]

Wandavision
Falcon & the Winter Soldier
Loki
What If (animated)

But it doesn’t really matter up to this point as far as I can remember.

Ah, thanks. Falcon was next on my list anyhow. Wandavision looks silly and What If doesn't interest me (unless there is a Gambit episode?).

 

[Teelie]

So far nothing has been chronologically ordered as to when events happen and as far as "What If..." that takes place in a seperate continuity/universe from the main MCU (so far, rumors aside).

edit: to clarify, everything except "What If..." is post-Endgame, but we don't know when. Even Loki technically takes place outside of time so it's nebulous.

 

[squeekness]

What is One Shot? Is it any good?

 

[squeekness]

They spent a fair amount of money on the Loki show, the special effects were quite good for a TV show.

 

[Teelie]

One Shot started 10 years ago and ended in 2014. I never watched any of those to know. They were short little self contained stories according to Wikipedia.

For the record, WandaVision >>>> the other two live-action ones so far, imo. There’s a reason it’s the one that got all the Emmy love. My dad complained that Loki was the “silly” one, and I can’t say I blame him. It was deeply unrewarding to me, even knowing what they’re setting up. For those like him NOT following the MCU religiously, I can’t imagine what they’d take away from it other than “it looked good?” You’re definitely not missing much with What If? though.

I suppose I could give it a try. If I don't like it I'll just drop it. I'm giving What If a pass. I never even liked it in the comics.

Yeah I never got into the What If? comics but the show is just kinda there for me. Fair warning, WandaVision’s 1st 3 episodes are extra weird. I’d recommend watching at least through episode 4 before deciding whether or not to pass on the rest. 4 onwards are quite the dramatic shift.

Okay.

 

[Morg]

Have yet to catch up on my What If shows, busy trying to finish watching Star Trek Enterprise series before Netflix removes them

What If? is a weird one. I like the concept, and the freedom it gives them, but the execution has been a bit off. The episodes are too short, so everything is rushed at a breakneck pace, and some of the voice acting leaves something to be desired. It's great that they got so many of the actors back for this, but voice acting is a whole different game from live-action. Some of them seem to struggle with it a bit. Sebastian Stan, for example, sounds almost unrecognizable.

It's got pacing an tonal issues galore in my view.

Big fan of What If...? comics though if we're all honest, not all them were gems either.

I am impressed that it is seeming to be a bigger part of what's next in the MCU than we originally thought.


Also:

Spoiler

Just had to get that off my chest.

Carry on.

I'm entirely certain that Flick wrote that post praising WandaVision just to piss you off, and I respect that. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, if that fish was a huffy dork.

I am assuming a Huffy Dork gets around using only 1980's dirt bikes.

You think you can just throw down a Talladega Nights GIF and suddenly I'll forget whatever it was that I was saying, regardless of context? Because you're right. I'm glad you've paid attention all these years.

And stay out of my booze.

If only Reek were alive to see this.

Reek can't die, only the actors who play him can.

Follow up film will be... "Reektopia Forever".



...

Too soon?

 

[Perfect Cell]

Oh... no...

Ha, no Gambit so far. WV starts silly as part of the premise and gets into the meat of the show a bit later.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Wait for it...
