Well ya but I wanted that to be the scene when they landed instead of just an assumption. A final image of all hope lost

Finally, something uplifting after that dark previous episode.
I think this is sarcasm, but I can't be sure. That was in no way uplifting.

Zombie scarlet witch is extra scary.

I would say Party Thor, but since Zombies was supposed to be later in the season, now I have no clue.

Ya know, maybe a sacred timeline wasn't such a bad idea after all...

Kurt definitely needs to be in the next Avengers movie.

Bucky admitting he didn't feel that bad bout Zombie Sam dying.

Scott's Wingardia Leviosa Harry Potter reference made me laugh out loud.

I wonder how zombie Thanos got the time stone? He would've had to go to New York first since Tony and strange didn't go to Titan.

Also, Thor should be showing up with momentarily with Storm breaker.

Good point!

I imagine it was easy for Thanos to get the other 5, including the time stone, but maybe he got bit in NYC and Zombie Thanos went to Wakanda to finish the job.

i'm beginning to think the sacred timeline should have been one where wanda and vision never, ever meet

Because vision gave them the mind stone and they took it to Wakanda to try and make a cure. And it was obviously missing at the end when they showed thanos.

Right I know why they were going there but what made Thanos go there? He originally went there because they knew it was there. The ending showed him waiting for them and thats my question how did he know to be there.

another plot hole is that Camp leigh, and all the fancy computers were destroyed during the events of the Winter Soldier.

Yep, the timeline is the same up to that point. Notice that Bucky has a vibranium arm as well. The timeline is the same until Ant man and the wasp.

To be fair, the Marvel comics weren't terribly kind to Hank Pym. Nothing better than a rousing story about beating one's wife and ordering her to hide her injuries.

I've loved pretty much all the MCU content released... and I've finally caught up on this What If? series to date... i have to say, ...not loving this show. It feels cheesy and unconvicted. I'm not sure if it's just the animation, or what, but it plays like saturday morning cartoon line-up between TMNT and He-Man. Maybe that's what they were going for, but i'm not loving it. The corresponding live-action voice talent actors voice-acting almost doesn't feel real cause it's so dispassionate.

It is interesting to consider these other possible multi-verses, but I just feel like the execution is off. They tend to be leaning in the dark "it all ends" motif in these last few as well. Just not sure what I'm supposed to do with it.

No. You're not allowed. Once you start a show you have to see it through to the end of the line. No matter how awful you think it is.

I will. Feige has not disappointed me yet with his entire line-up up till now. He's earned my attention through the end... even if it doesn't end up as my favorite.

I think this is show is supposed to be something fun to have in between the real stuff. Maybe just a way for their staff to showcase without much pressure.

That's how I've been approaching it. Just a fun little filler that manages to surprise me each week.

This stuff is writer/designer dream projects, not to mention animators who get to do high end Marvel animated work. Guarantee they're having a blast.

Yes, this is for:
1) Adding content to Disney+
2) Allowing for something fun and creative
3) Providing more MCU content which they will not have to try and fit into canon

Purpose is the same as the original What If comic run. It's strictly for fun and and guilty pleasures. Maybe to test run some ideas for future canon content.
