Weak. This episode would have better if I actually cared for Killmonger I guess.

I'm curious, what makes it horrible?

Average episode. Biggest drawback is it felt like only half of a story was told.
Thanks and gig'em

Interesting, but kinda meh.

And yeah, it does seem like a Part 1.

Definitely felt like a 2 parter and the voice actress for Pepper was awful

That said, I really liked it because I think Killmonger is a cool character, and through another lens, he's the hero in Black Panther. I know I'm in the minority (pun intended) of people who thought Black Panther was awesome, but having Angela Basset's character as a general leading her troops was pretty sweet.

Also felt like a lead-up to Black Panther 2 - heroes not gone, they live on who those they inspire.

The middle of this episode made no sense. By this point in the timeline, the entire world believes that Wakanda is a peaceful third-world nation of farmers. So the country decides to go straight to war and build an entire armada of future-tech drones to deal with them??

Except Killmonger knows otherwise and wants his revenge, right?

Yeah this was fine until the abrupt ending.

I watch What If while looking at my phone the whole time. I think it's the most average of all the Marvel Studios endeavors, tbh.

RDJ didn't do Tony's voice in this, did he? His voice was really grating to me.

I've enjoyed most of them. I like the relatively dark storytelling. The graphics remind me of an anime show. It doesn't feel as important as a Loki or Wandavision but it is entertaining.

Mick Wingert voices iron man in all other media. He is great IMO as Tony

I liked it. Gave me a chance to see characters interact that never did in the films.

I've enjoyed the series, but it would be nice to have an episode where things are better instead of worse at the end.

Like, what if Thanos had parents who loved him?

The starlord/black panther episode was almost better, but then they had Ego show up at the Dairy Queen.

This whole series is basically boiled down to "The devil you know is better than the one you don't" basically, for all of it's faults, the prime MCU is the best version so far.

Except Angela Basset's character was not enhanced by the mystic plant so it was weird to see her so physical.

But I liked the episode. I kept being teased that Killmonger would move past his evil ways and be a good person but nope.

Which does make sense in the context of his story, considering his world view was very much shaped by both his father's activism and T'Chaka killing his father when he was a child.

Every woman in wakanda kicks ass, why would the queen be any different?

I did not enjoy this episode. I'm not sure if it's so much this episode as it is we've seen 4(?) depressing episodes in a row. Time to lighten it up.

My wife is out if they don't go a little lighter next time.

Yeah Killmonger is still a whiny *****. Such an easy character to dislike

I needed a light hearted episode.

Was that galactus?

I think is was the celestials, looks similar to the being in the Eternals trailer

After research apparently it was Ultron with the Vision body

Which would suck for every since it appears he has all the infinity paper weights:

Looked like some weird Vision/Ultron mashup with the infinity stones.

Before release, this series was: "I'll watch it every Wednesday."
After a couple episodes, this series was: "I'll watch it when I have free time / remember to."
After this episode, this series has become: "I'll just wait a few months and have it on while I'm doing the laundry."

I find that I just don't care about these episodes. Many of them have taken multiple sittings to get through. Just not a fan of what they're doing with it.
