I won’t be able to watch until Friday 
HO-LY SHIT THAT ENDING.
Huge ramifications to the MCU. Literally one of the biggest “oh shit” moments since Infinity War.
I’m so hyped.
I guess we know what all of Phase 4 is about then eh?

Pretty Crazy that they introduced so many things that will have massive impacts on the universe in a show. I’m glad they are so committed to this expanded universe.
So much for “you don’t need to watch the shows to follow the story from the movies”
I’m sure they will provide some context but if you want to understand everything you’ll have to watch the shows. My brother didn’t want to watch WandaVision, I told him don’t ask me a bunch of questions after Doctor Strange. He ended up watching it and loving the show lol.
IT’S THAT TIME MARVEL FANS!
Marvel’s What If? has debuted today on Disney+ so for the next week, please mark all spoilers regarding the first installment of What If:
What If?
Episode One:
What If… Captain Carter Were The First Avenger?

- Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter / Captain Carter
- Josh Keaton as Skinny Steve Rogers
- Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
- Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye
- Stanley Tucci as Abraham Erskine

Captain Peggy Carter
So, I thought the first episode was great, and I REALLY liked the Animation style. It looked terrible in some spots in the first trailers, but when you see it in motion in it’s final form, and the way they use it, it’s incredible.
Also, something VERY interesting of note:
According to the official Disney+ MCU timeline, What If takes place Immediately after Loki
So the official timeline for Phase 4 goes as follows:
Loki, What If? Wandavision, Falcon and Winter Soldier
Which means that Sylvie killing He Who Remains creates the multiverse, allowing for What If/ This happens at the same time as Wanda becomes the Scarlet Witch during her battle with Agatha, meaning that Loki’s ending, Wandavision’s ending and What If are all happening as the timeline fractures and splits into the multiverse
Meanwhile Sam and Bucky are just working on a boat and dancing with Zemo.
Imagine All of reality breaking apart allowing the creation of a multiverse of madness and you’re just hanging out with this guy:

Spiderman and Dr Strange back together
And it starts off with Dr Strange acting irresponsibly.
Wonder what’s going on there? Unless, he’s started taking more risks after the blip.
Doctor Strange has never been the best judge of characger.
I mean who else gambles with his soul and the soul of his friends against Mephisto and loses in a game he should probably know is crooked turning all of them including himself into Ghost Riders?
Also, MAJOR UPDATE TO THE THREAD COMING TOMORROW!

These might be the last few MCU movies for Spiderman. Disney does not need Spidey , and Sony does not need MCU - they can make a movie factory based only on the Spiderverse.
Desperation makes ppl make very bad deals, and the Marvel deal giving Sony rights to movies in the Spiderverse has to be one of the low points for Marvel.

The last two “What if…?” episodes have been very very good.
I had no expectations of phase 4 to be honest but so far Wandavision definitely was interesting and enjoyable. I have yet to start with Falcon and Loki. Shang-chi was a pleasant surprise, really enjoyed that one in the theater, Black Widow was enjoyable enough too.
Saw a trailer of Eternals, don’t know about that one, but since I have sub to my cinema theater I will go see it.
Watch Falcon before Loki, otherwise you will be disappointed. Loki is a hard act to follow in a live-action series. The What If…? series does alright coming after Loki since it’s self contained episodes, for shorter animated razzle dazzle.

Falcon first. Loki is not to be missed.
And I am expecting the Eternals to introduce and establish the Celestials lore.
