Ep. 6
Now that is more like it! Much like Ep 3, this one needed about another 30 minutes.

i agree that this was a good ep (very dark)
but can y'all describe your issues with the previous 2?

Ep 4 was just boring to me, guess because I'm not a big Dr S fan. Ep 5 was entertaining, I just didn't think it fit well in the MCU because, well, zombies, a tired vehicle.
 
I know it's stupid to nitpick realism or continuity in a comic universe where there are Norse gods, but

it's a little distracting when these characters just have convenient talents/abilities. Like I get and accept that Killmonger is a perfectly trained killer. He got that way by extensively training and working in guns, hand to hand, maybe even melee weapons training like knife fighting. But, because it's convenient, he also happens to just inherently be perfect at spear-throwing. Either that, or during his training, he's dedicated an hour or so a day to training with a spear because, you never know, he may be called upon to fight with a vibranium spear some day. I don't know, I think it would be nice to occasionally have someone like Killmonger try to throw a spear and it just bluntly graze his target and he shrugs then shoots the guy and says "never threw a spear before". Or have Tony spend "all night" building an advanced murderbot only to have it collapse because one day isn't enough time to build an advanced robot even if you are smart.

i square this by thinking of these people as the top of the pyramid
100 people try to be military
that gets cut down to 20 who want to be Seals
that gets cut down to 5 who are 'good/bad' enough for wet work
that gets cut down to 2 who are proficient at 98% of weapons
and then 1 guy who is perfect at weapons - we follow the story of that 1 guy
'The Boys' and 'Mystery Men' tell the stories of the #2-100 guys

j get that
but i think the point of 'What If' is trying to expand genre
and while i'm also not a zombie fan, our current reaction to the pandemic make zombie stories much more plausible than i had previously thought
 
Excellent episode, but again,
is it really to much to ask for an ending? I mean, is Wakanda annihilated witth Jericho missiles? Do the girls expose Killmonger in time? Does he kill T'Chaka and declare himself king after being exposed or do the Dora kill him? Seriously, it would have taken creating another 5 minutes tops to finish the storyline.
 
I think the zombie one was more fan service, tbh.

I think some of these might be setting up for a "part 2" in season 2.
 
Anyone watch the Marvel:One Shot-Agent Carter? Would be nice to have an SHIELD series spin off. And yes, there is an end credit scene.
