Season 1 / Episode 9: What If… (Finale)

They could've pulled it off on a decent budget. COIE was about the multivitamin being in danger and heroes from the multiverse saving all of reality. Arrowverse turned it into E1, 2 from E-Super, and black lightning saving the multiverse when they couldve had majority of the cast play doppelgangers recruited by the Monitor.

 

If it were live action, any of these episodes on their own would have skyrocketed the budget with the only possible exception being the Doctor Strange one since that could have in theory just been Cumberbatch in front of a greenscreen for the entire thing.

 

This finale was fairly tame. It could be pulled off on a regular Avenue budget. It could easily be adapted to a tv budget as well. Would it be frame for frame? No. But we dont need that. Thr basic foundation is the point.

 

Wow, I really had my issues with this series but I was satisfied with this final. Only thing I dont like is how random Gamorra was added to the group, propably the episode pushed in season 2 or cut away?

The action was on point, I liked the struggle of Carter and Natasha in the end (Stealth Carter suit is awesome!).

 

Natasha really has a thing for people that shield doesn't she? Not necessarily romantically but besties forever

 

VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!

 

I've heard this episode is the last time we hear Chadwick Boseman.

 

It's a shame we didn't get the Gamora/Stark episode that was cut out of season 1, but overall I dug the finale.

 

I was mostly satisfied with the finale aswell and really loved how the Avenger's esque battle was handled towards the end with pretty much everyone getting their moment to shine, but it definitely felt a bit rushed and I wish we got to see more of The Watcher's actual plan against Ultron Prime.

Thor's interactions with everybody aswell as the suprisngly great, buddy chemistry between Peggy and Widow were easily the biggest standouts to me besides the awesome action.

I really liked the end credit tag too and am very much looking forward to Season 2.

 

Aw that was wonderful.

 

Captain Carter stood out as the leader and definitely was a huge success much like Captain America. This felt like The First Avengers Assemble with the Guardians of the Multiverse.

 

I really enjoyed the episode for the most part, though it was weird to see Gamora thrown into the team, going to be weird to see the delayed episode in S2, but still looking forward to it.

Was fun seeing Star Lord T’Challa, Party Thor, Black Widow, Kilmonger, Captain Carter again, and I really enjoyed the dynamic between BW and Carter especially. t was great to see the power displays and use of combat from BW, Carter and T’Challa, and especially Strange Supreme.

Wasn’t expecting to see most of the cliffhangers wrapped up so quickly, Also wasn’t expecting Ultron to be beaten so easily as those reappearance from Zombie Scarlett Witch and Zola


Wanted the episode to be a bit longer, and a bit more Watcher, but I had a lot of fun! Can’t wait for S2, but I’m sad this was the last time we’ll hear Boseman.

8/10

 

Agreed. More attention to detail, getting the right tone and humour balance in certain episodes, and planning it all out better including links between episodes could have made moved up this series from a 7 to a 9 for me. I still enjoyed it all but the whole could have been improved a lot in many ways.

 

Nice summary. I will be very happy if we get to see this Strange and Captain Carter in live action.

 

I'd like to see her lead a live action team one day in the longer term future.

 

Yeah, I think they can use a version that fits within the MCU. MoM feels like it could really change things up for what is possible in the MCU.

 

agreed she really nailed it she sounds SO much like her I had to double check to see who was playing Widow LOL

 

I won't be upset, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be disappointed if none of these characters appear in MoM, especially Carter and Strange Supreme, and if Chadwick Boseman were still with us T'Challa Starlord would've been fun to see in live action as well.

 

when the Guardians were just beating the everloving snot out of Ultron I had a BIG grin on my face. I loved that Peggy was wearing a 'stealth version' of her suit kinda like Cap's was in Winter Soldier (bonus for Widow having that era's hair being all straight, I love details like that).

 

WHAT IF...? Head Writer And Director Explain Why Neither Paul Bettany Nor James Spader Voiced Infinity Ultron

 

so i read earlier in the thread that at the end, Widow was dropped into Episode 3's universe. i guess i wasn't paying attention to that detail or i missed it, but i was for some reason hoping that she was being dropped into the "original universe" because we lost her when she sacrificed herself. i thought it was going to be a way to bring her back but i mustve missed something

 

Finale was very entertaining. Episode played out like the climax in a big budget movie. Beginning felt a bit rushed when Watcher was recruiting everybody and Gamora’s presence felt very random as we had not seen her prior to this. Wish they would have kept the Gamora episode to make it flow better

Thor was once again hilarious. The real standout here I thought was Peggy. I’m looking forward to see more of her in her own universe especially with that tease during the mid credits
