What if...? (Disney+)

Started by BruceSkywalker7 pages

season finale was really good, coulda been longer tough.. can't wait for another season i hope

Kevin Feige said back in 2019 that the What if...? series would have at least two seasons and the first season was well received. So expect season 2 next summer.

Got to love Strange sealing a Nazi and black supremacist in a pocket dimension for all time. Haha.

Yeah, Dark Strange was OP as fuk. Not only was he the MVP of the heroes (which even Ultron himself recognises), that bit

Spoiler:
where he literally ate Ultron's attack was just insane. Hell, an alternate version of Captain Marvel died from something similar and he swallowed it like a gummy worm.

But I guess that's what happens when you spend centuries chowing down on powerful mystical beings.

On a random note, it's kind of a pity we never got to see the

Spoiler:
Gamora/Iron Man episode, which was apparently supposed to be a thing but got cut due to production delays caused by Covid.
Also, the lengths of the episodes were apparently originally going to be longer than what we got.

Yeah, I read that. Hard to accept the COVID excuse here, given that it's an animated series... I feel like they're just intentionally stalling that particular episode until next season(for whatever reason.)

I feel like an extended runtime(at least for the finale) would've helped things tremendously. As mentioned, it just felt so rushed.

So Dark Strange is actually named Strange Supreme going by the end credits.

Also I thought his OP move was when he multiplied Mjolnir.

Yeah, he's labelled as Strange Supreme when he's being identified as the speaker by the subtitles as well. Though I think I'm going to call him Darkter Strange. Just kidding. Maybe.

And yeah, he's crazy OP. Not only is he extremely powerful in his own right, he also still has his Time Stone and seemed immune to Ultron's use of his Time Stone before even employing his own.

What I found cool about him though was that he could be formidable in a direct fight on his own and be a great support for others, significantly amping both their defense and attack power in combat.

without dark strange, the other heroes would have been wiped out almost instantly. he completely held them on his shoulders.

if ultron had targeted strange sooner, he would have won.

and is uatu meant to be fully omniscient in the mcu? definitely seems to be the implication.

Yeah so he had the invincibility spell, which his alternate found to battle him. But then he merged with him so I guess he has it.

That merger is probably what also makes him redeemable. I mean Killmonger literally offered him a way to get Christine back yet he walked away from that.

I wouldn't say Uatu is fully omniscient, as Ultron's shenanigans *seemed* to have caught him by surprise initially.

That said, he certainly seems to be as close to omniscient as you can get:
"I have seen everything that has ever happened. Ever will happen. Ever could happen."

I'm not sure if he evolved the spell or was combining it with other things, because it did more than protection in the fight with Ultron. There are multiple instances where their weapons were enchanted and had a greater impact against Ultron than they did without the spells. At one point he even gave T'Challa eldritch panther claws.

I don't think that version of Strange is necessarily evil so much as he was misguided. I mean he did show clear remorse at the end of episode four when he realised what he had caused.

Yeah it was definitely an evolved version. But then that Strange was so powerful he could probably just make much better use of it.

Well remember that was after he merged with his alternate. That said, he lost Christine anyway, so of course he would have remorse.

But the current version clearly is redeeming himself.

On a random note, seems like it's not just Peggy. What If Super Soldiers are extremely OP, going by what little we saw of an alternate version of Captain America during the finale where he was treating Asgardian soldiers like fodder:

do you think dark strange is actually stuck inside of his pocket reality and can't escape under his own power, or does he choose to stay there as penance for inadvertently destroying his universe?

Probably the latter. He's so OP that I'm sure he could escape if he devoted his efforts to doing so.

He probably could leave, but he's watching over Killmonger and Zola/Ultron so he probably won't. As Uatu put it, "Someone needs to watch them."

I think he meant the first time he was stuck in his own collapsed universe.

Could be more of a power scaling issue.

I'd have to see Cap leap the way Captain Carter does, or see her raw strength on gigantic creatures or inanimate objects before I'm convinced he's her equal.

But it is only logical for her to be > him. Given that was the exact same serum used on her that was meant for him. Yet she started off much stronger.
