Marvel's What If...? - General Discussion

[Venom 1988]

My assumption is this episode was intended for S2 but wasn't done, but far enough to use the clip to tease S3

That's correct. In late 2022, the full storyboards for 3 episodes leaked online. One of them was for the 1980s Avengers, another involed Surtur as the main focal point (which I'm also assuming also got pushed to season 3) and the 3rd focused on Red Guardian (which this scene matches up to those leaks).

I see that Devery Jacobs was cast as Kahhori in What If, but then she was also cast in Echo as a completely different character. What's the idea of casting her in Echo or as Kahhori? If Kahhori were to become a bigger character in the MCU, then surely they could've also saved her for the live action version instead of being a minor character in Echo?

I have a feeling with all this what if promotion, there probably gonna release it again this year in December. Not sure what the viewership was for season 2, but it seems the daily drops worked out for them.

Making this exclusive to Apple Vision Pro seems like such a dumb move. How many people are there in the world who both own one of those and are MCU fans?


Anyway, I get young Hela with Mjolnir, and "What if Captain Marvel joined the Nova Corps". Who are this Scarlet Witch and the character that looks like Hush from Batman?

Yea I agree. Not sure why they do exlusive stuff like this when barely anyone is going to watch/experience? it. As far as the characters are concerned, I no idea who the Hush looking person is. Probably a mystery that will get revealed in the video itself.

It could also be a character that will be revealed during What If...? Season 3, later this year.

Maybe but I would think they would make something like this self-contained, epsecially if most people are gonna miss out on it.

Marvel Studios must have been paid by Apple.

Anyway its a good thing, i stopped watching What If? Imo, its a waste of time and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not watching season 2. And this Vision Pro exclusive is also redundant, especially I'm not a fan of overpriced Apple products and I refuse to be part of their ecosystem.

For anyone that cares, someone upload the full What If Vision Pro experience on Youtube. I'll check it out later but I did skip ahead to see that the Hush looking dude is a Steve Rogers who became scarred like the Red Skull during a rushed Super Soldier experiement and never became Captain America.

I haven't even finished season 2 lol! Been spending my time watching the Japanese Transformers cartoons I never watched, and will probably watch other things instead of finishing season 2 anytime soon lol

I caved and decided to finish S2 of What If. Just like season 1, the better episodes were the ones that didn't do the essentially same movie but rushed thing. The Kahhori, 1602, and finale were easily the highlights of watching the season. The issue is, to get to those episodes, I had to watch so much mid. Overall, I think S2 was better. I didn't see episodes that were as dreadful as the Killmonger saving Tony one. But at the same time, only 3 episodes really worth revisiting.

I also can barely stand the animation style. The shadows on people's faces are so bad!!!! Also, what is this show's obsession with jobbing Thanos out? Seriously, like every episode, someone just kills Thanos super easily. Is this some kind of inside joke with the creators or something? Cause they gotta stop it

Wonder if it's going to be Doctor Doom?

 

[Venom 1988]

Reports from awhile back were saying it's Storm

I would loveeeee a What-If episode with the Fox X-Men actors (or approximations) to really ramp up to Secret Wars. "What If... the Avengers never existed"

Well there it is.
