The reaction is good for episode 4 but I really wish you would lay off some of the jokes and vibe with the tone of the episode. A lot of the time you guys undercut the more serious tone of things. It's okay to go with it sometimes.
It felt like I was watching a Spill the milk reaction. If you guys aren't really feeling this series, it's alright. You could just drop it and pick up something else
Also they were kind of busy, and Fury has shown himself to be very objective oriented. He won't give himself time to just feel until he does what needs doing.
Nobody got worked up over the Avengers getting taken out because they weren't even the Avengers yet. Fury met Stark, and he died a minute later. He never met any of the others except Widow and Hawkeye. Thor was mortal when the arrow hit him. Arrows can kill mortals.
It was more than a minute. Fury met Stark at the end of Iron Man, which was probably a few months at least. Still, I agree that Fury really doesn't show that much emotion. I wouldn't expect anybody from SHIELD to, especially over the Avengers that weren't even formed yet
yep furys met stark already at this point but he didn't save the world from loki yet, hes basically still just the arms dealer turned vigilante as far as fury and natasha are concerned
yeah, it wasn't shortly after they agreed to have Iron Man on the Avengers but not Tony; they didn't want Stark as anything more than a consultant & dealer
@@pawem3888 it did happen in one week, the difference is what fury and the team had to go through, sacred timeline, they dont die, in the what if, they do.
I think they forgot, with the Avengers passing episode the team wasn’t the avengers yet. So really and truly no one knew them yet. So who besides Loki would’ve cared that Thor died. Or who cares if Clint Barton dies. He’s an assassin and no one knew he was yet.
Benedict had experience voice acting more then someothers and you can hear it in his tone, the way he put emotion in it oof that ending was painful af. Not that others were bad just he was on another level
I like how episode 3 can be also: What if Hope joined shield? The rest are just the consequences. And fun fact: The mission where Hope died is the same mission Natasha mentions in CA: Winter Soldier, where she first encounter the winter soldier. So, we can safely assume that Bucky kill Hope
It's been confirmed that Edward Norton's is the same as Mark Ruffalo. They just recasted. Even Betty's dad the General was in a few MCU movies before he passed now Harrison Ford is taking the role.
Lake Bell was originally in the running for MCU Black Widow, which went to ScarJo, so she got her chance to play the character in this when ScarJo didn’t come back.
Dr. Strange made the classic Time Travel error when trying to save someone who died. Time tends to auto correct because without those events it would not compel them to become the person they are and travel through time. Thus if you wanna save someone you can't save them in the past but instead save them in the present. Use Magic or Tech or Whatever to clone their body. Then find the right time to swap them out so your past self finds the lifeless cloned body and you bring the person back to the present. Thus history remains the same as you saw them die and are thus driven down the path to save them by going into time manipulation. But now in the preset they are among the living even though the world still thinks they died as they had a body, funeral, and the whole works with no one the wiser since at that time no one knew of time manipulation. Dr. Strange would have an even easier time of this as with the time stone he could stop time right before the car flies off the cliff, swap out the bodies so when his past self wakes he finds the lifeless body in the car. Most trying to save the person are selfish in their desire as they don't just want to erase the death but erase the pain of that loss to where it never happen. To live the life they missed out on due to the tragedy. Thus creating the paradox which fights against their changes to the time line. But in the swap there is no paradox and they gotta carry on from there hoping the person they saved can accept the person they have become.
The Time Machine from 2002 with Guy Pearce, is a sci-fi movie that also explains why you can’t change time, wich is the same in the Strange episode. You can’t change the past, because without the past, you would never be able to do timetravel 😉
You wondered why Fury or Loki did not care about their friends dying why would they. At this point in history Odin has fell into the odin sleep and thought was cast out of asgard which makes Loki King. The only reason Loki came to Earth was to rule the planet and average Thor murder was the cover story. Nick Fury is a manipulator he did not actually care about any of the avengers the only people he cared about was Black widow and Hawkeye. Banner with a future from the US government. Fury only cared enough about Stark for what technological advancements he could provide.
They were all nobodies when they were taken out, the only one that would cause global distress was Ironman and that's only because of his family, not him. Sad that Quinn forget everyone in the marvel movies.
"All those shards of glass & no Blade" "why is Sam Jackson always recruiting people in restaurants?" Haha Quinn 😄 Answer's "Clint" slipup & all your different reactions to it at 19:47 was hilarious! I had a big cheeky giggle over that hehe 😂 Dr Strange episode is my favourite, kinda gave 'Wandervision' vibes as he was doing alternative realities due to his grief of losing a loved one & even though it had a darker ending was still a great episode! & liked Dave whispers "what if?" Quinn "we got ASMR Dave over there" & yay for "Blanket of Death" reference too! 😄💚💙
Dr strange is in my top 3 fav characters so it made it all the more powerful and heartbreaking that episode. I shed a tear in it which is a credit to the writers. Great voice acting too. The end really gets to you and can really feel the deep sorrow in his voice when he saying im so sorry. Such a great episode. I kinda wish there was more heavy and emotional stuff like that from marvel.
18:06 I'll validate what he said about the lack of emotion if he can let us know why they should've felt that way. They didn't know who Thor was, Tony was a question to Widow because he hasn't really done nothing. Hulk was a still a fugitive. Then only one would've been Hawkeye, since he was known longer, but he was also just another soldier who's was expendable.
31:15 Mark! Guys, howdy! Episode 4 was very much influenced by the most recent remake of "The Time Machine" which, in turn, was very much influenced by the "Final Destination" franchise, thus spoiling the Science-Fiction story and making it a Supernatural story. But in the "MCU" it makes sense since the Supernatural is a real known aspect of it. 🤔
Also, Fury is an operative in the midst of an ongoing fight. He has no time for sit and think about the deaths of unknowns and he's also been around death before.
What I like about What if, is how many different kinds of stories they can tell. To me the Strange one is the best episode overall but I'm glad they aren't all as dark and bleak ending, so this one hits a lot more. Some of them are lighthearted fun, some of them are closer to the known stories adding a spin, some of then more for action. The result of that is that there will be a bigger gap between the ones you like or dislike, but that's fine in my opinion. There's an episode for everyone in here. For example, I liked 3 for the murder mystery aspect, and Black Widow to get her elevator moment but it doesn't hold up as well on rewatches.
Episode 1: What If Peggy didn't go to the observation desk? Episode 2: What If Yondu let his Ravagers find Peter Quill? Episode 3: What If Hope Pym joined SHEILD and died on a mission? Episode 4: What If Christine was destined to die to create Sorcerer Strange?
@TheEclipse420 except after C, and with sounding like "A" as in neighbor and weigh, and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May, and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say. Lol.
With Dr. Strange going back to save Christine, at first he didn't want to mess with time too much. And so he just made the tiniest change which could hopefully keep Christine alive and not distort much else in the timeline. When that didn't work, he tried a little bit more, but still not too much by doing everything normally, only using a different route to get to the same location. As she kept dying, he started getting more and more desperate and taking more and more drastic measures.

53:38 Mark! I'm Viewer #20,107! 🎉 1.5K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 BM guys, you're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: "Doctor Evil"?! He's not in this series! 😂 Her death, being an "Absolute Point" fits in with a Multiverse concept, because there needs to be that option along with the other options. As in "Everything. Everywhere. All at Once"! Poor guy, just got stuck with the saddest option. 😢 Episode 3? Hmm. People died and other than from Pym there wasn't enough grief, is that it? 🤔 Heh. Pym became like Hawkeye and went on his killing spree. Imagine if he had used his particles to undo Hope's death! So what got with these two episodes in a row, was "Revenge versus Prevention"! Ironically the former was the healthier option! 😮 But anyway, with Christine not in play, the loss of the exotic supercar was 😢 enough to me! Bye-bye for now! Namaste! 🙏
25:45 What Mason is missing is there was one more 'Avenger' that Hank Pym was going to kill: Nick Fury. Once Fury was out of the picture, there never would be any Avengers going forward.
Episode 3 is definitely one of What If’s most shocking episodes, and Episode 4 (my favourite) is the most tragic, but epic and well-written at the same time
27:39 as every episode go by the watcher is more more visible like u can see him in the city like before he was far away only observing but now he’s closer and maybe will interfere with things
I would've loved to see this strange in the big screen, we kinda did, but wasn't the same. This strange story is kinda my favorite of marvel since endgame.
What If...? in the comics was a lot like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits TV shows, an anthology of stories where, unlike the usual comic stories, the good guys can lose, and then what? Heroes can become the villains with a bad stroke of luck, or never getting the good break, and going bad from the start. In Strange's case, the true tragedy is the absolute point of Christine's death held true even after sacrificing the universe to save her. He couldn't be told otherwise, maybe because his story didn't involve him being humbled by losing his hands, so he held all of his abilities, and that arrogance that he could do things no one else could. His passion for life and career may have ended with Christine, but not his ego.
Always great reactions and commentary, gentlemen! Thank you. Episode 3, WHAT IF... THE WORLD LOST ITS MIGHTIEST HEROES? delivers some important insights into the pecking order of grading human intellects and intellectual achievement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recall that Dr. Bruce Banner went dark after becoming the Hulk. In AVENGERS we learned that Banner spent years trying to cure himself of the Hulk, even attempting suicide. But he could find no way to stop becoming the monster. Neither Tony Stark nor Bruce Banner were clever enough to figure out a way. But Dr. Henry Pym did. That makes Pym "smarter" than both Stark and Banner (at least in the way comicbooks and comicbook movies measure intelligence). Discovering and creating technology utilizing the properties of Pym Particles (Marvel's imagined fundamental particle with properties that dictate size and mass) is so advanced that, according to official Marvel Studios material, even Wakandan science is baffled by it. That makes Pym the smartest human being introduced thus far on Earth-616. This will change soon when two other EXTREMELY important characters are introduced. One is Dr. Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four. The other is the greatest supervillain of all time, Dr. Victor Von Doom, inventor of the Space-Time Platform and the Power Sifon.
That point in history in the story fury didn't really know any of them. He hadn't met thor, hulk, briefly met tony at that point. The only ones he had a relationship with at that point was with widow and hawkeye.
This is one of the greatest of the What If episodes. Well there are good ones coming up but this one was amazing. Also Season 3 is green lit, and set to come out in December which i just found out. I'm so hyped for another season. I need my Marvel fix ,and Agatha isn't really doing it for me, but i know Daredevil is set for January and i still have Deadpool and Wolverine to watch. So there is some more Marvel content on the way.
not canon, doesnt matter how much you fanatic retarded braindeads cry about it all day and night in somebodys comment section. no need to watch garbage like that
Remember What If season one predates Multiverse of Madness. I can't remember if you guys have watched Loki season 1 yet but be sure to watch Loki season one and two before What If season 2.
I guess it's not really MCU but the Mile Morales Spider-Man with the Spiderverse talks about the Absolute Points in Time. The What If comics were always a lot of fun. Sometimes goofy but fun none-the-less. It's cool seeing them animated. I don't remember how accurate these are to the comics but with this kind of story that isn't all that important. Cheers.
The Dr Strange episode is my fav of season 1, along side a future episode. Seeing Strange be basically a god from all the power he absorbed, just perfection. Even if he was kinda evil of course. This is the episode that also made me really like What If. Until this point I was kinda "meh" with it. And whats coming up near the end of this season... just blew my mind.
That Dr strange episode is heartbreaking breaking and a hint into "Anchor beings" for timelines, you actually meet that strange in Multiverse of madness 💯🔥
No, those are two different strangers. This strange is Strange Supreme, who as shown destabilized his universe causing its destruction. The movie strange is Sinister Strange, who used the Darkhold and caused an incursion between two universes and destroyed both.
I think 'technically' he did break the absolute point. Because her death was due to the timeline disolving, along with everything else. So, her death was due to Strange's actions, not 'fate'.
Again, thank you for all your reaction videos! Episode Four, WHAT IF... DOCTOR STRANGE LOST HIS HEART INSTEAD OF HIS HANDS? is extremely important as it introduces a key concept to THE MULTIVERSE SAGA, the "Absolute Point." The ABSOLUTE POINT IN TIME is an irreversible, inevitable CAUSAL event that can happen in one timeline/universe or many, even all. Absolute points are related to "Canon Events," crucial defining event in a person's life shaping who they must be while relating consequentially to their entire universe and network of intercommunal existents. The 2023 movie SPIDER-MAN: ACCROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE introduces Canon Events. How do ABSOLUTE POINTS IN TIME and CANON EVENTS work? Doctor Stephen Strange plays an essential role in his universe and its destiny. For Strange to become who he must be, he must surrender Christine Palmer in some way -- the way this is accomplished is the ABSOLUTE POINT IN TIME. Surrounding canon events demand that she and he must NEVER be together. If Strange cannot bring himself to surrender Palmer, this results in her death becoming an ABSOLUTE POINT IN TIME in whatever universe/timeline he refuses to give her up. This explains why Christine Palmer survives on Earth 616: losing his HANDS and fortune, Stephen Strange was forced to give her up socially, so she lived. Through the events of DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, Strange grew and REALLY surrendered his addiction to her and died to some of his narcissistic tendencies. Incidentally, the greatest Strange of all is Earth 616 Strange. It is not an ABSOLUTE POINT IN ALL TIMES that Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man/Person; however, in most universes, it is Peter Parker who does. But for some SPIDER-MAN to exist, a tragic loss of one or more loved ones -- coupled with extreme hardships and misfortunes and tremendous difficulties -- are inescapable Canon Events that shape and are shaped by related Absolute Points. It's important to understand that, in the MCU, as in Marvel Comics, all time-travel is Multiversal Transit. This is explained and illustrated in AVENGERS ENDGAME. In other words, to travel through time = to travel between different parallel universes (e.g., Earth 616, Earth 10005, Earth 838, etc.). Time-travelers like the Kangs and the TVA can cause tremendous problems between universes, and even create situations that imperil the entire Multiverse. For instance: by discovering the lost Space-Time Platform of Doctor Doom, 31st-century Nathaniel Richards used it to re-discover parallel universes exist. He also discovered Multiversal variants of himself. Doing this created the Kangs, eventually leading to He Who Remains being the sole surviving and victorious Kang who established the Time Variance Authority. That means that Doctor Doom is CAUSALLY the ABSOLUTE POINT for both all Kangs and the TVA, because without his Space-Time Platform (see MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS and QUANTUMANIA), the Kangs and TVA would not exist. Oroboros and Victor Timely from LOKI season two are red herrings--Doom is the origin of all technology of Kangs and the TVA. That makes Doom the Achilles Heel of both the Kangs and the TVA: they are helpless to directly interfere or sanction Doom as that would wipe them out of existence. This explains the goal of Victor Von Doom in the upcoming AVENGERS DOOMSDAY and why he needs the Scarlet Witch to obliterate the current state of affairs in the Multiverse.
What If? Season 1 will surprise you because the episodes will tie together in the last few. Everything is intended to feel unfinished in the earlier episodes. There is an overarching story, you just haven't reached that point yet.
You know, it’s funny watching the surprised reaction of most people to episode 4, whereas reading the reaction of people who had read the What If? Comics online tended to be “oh same old same old, universe destroyed ho hum, think I’ll skip it.”
Please react to a movie called How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. It's a Thai movie, it centered around a young male who, after received news that his grandma got diagnosed with cancer, decided to take care of his grandma while he himself trying to secure his inheritance from his grandma. This movie is a seriously tear-jerker movie, full of family-themed lessons and, I can dare to say, this movie is a lot better than any family movies that you've ever seen or reacted before.
As regards you all thoughts on Episode 3, I think what you guys have to do before watching any episode is go in with an open mind and don't fully expect to see what we are all used to seeing in the Avengers movies
Ep 4 with Dr. Strange was a wild ride and dark! What was your reaction? What did we miss?

Quite a dark turn. And the first time our narrator stepped into the story
You guys will understand why What If is very important for the next movies, specially episode 4
@@BaddMedicine Mr. Answer, I don't think Fury and Coulson would go get shawarma, considering Loki is taking over the Earth
The reaction is good for episode 4 but I really wish you would lay off some of the jokes and vibe with the tone of the episode. A lot of the time you guys undercut the more serious tone of things. It's okay to go with it sometimes.
It felt like I was watching a Spill the milk reaction. If you guys aren't really feeling this series, it's alright. You could just drop it and pick up something else
You need to remember they weren’t a team yet. Fury had no emotional connection yet. They were prospects not teammates.
Exactly
It’s also a 20 min episode
Exactly
exactly
Also they were kind of busy, and Fury has shown himself to be very objective oriented. He won't give himself time to just feel until he does what needs doing.
Nobody got worked up over the Avengers getting taken out because they weren't even the Avengers yet. Fury met Stark, and he died a minute later. He never met any of the others except Widow and Hawkeye.

So the events of incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, and Thor 1 happen in the same week. It's called Fury's big week Now it's Fury's worst week
@@pawem3888 it did happen in one week, the difference is what fury and the team had to go through, sacred timeline, they dont die, in the what if, they do.
@@ghostmkc4045 You don't say!
@@ghostmkc4045 Woaw! I had not realised the difference there! XD
The Doctor Strange episode remains one of the best written episodes of What If, it tragic and engrossing
Agreed!
The reason Hawkeye could kill Thor with an arrow was because Thor was powerless at that scene. He was a human at that point in the story, not a god.
20:11 Odin took all of Thor's godly power when he sent him to earth. He was basically just a buff human at that point.
Doctor Strange was definitely the craziest episode
Ep4 is definitely What If's strongest showing. It felt written with love for the character and scenario.
I think they forgot, with the Avengers passing episode the team wasn’t the avengers yet. So really and truly no one knew them yet. So who besides Loki would’ve cared that Thor died. Or who cares if Clint Barton dies. He’s an assassin and no one knew he was yet.
After writing this I realized a bunch of people already said what I said 🤦🏽♂️
Isn't clint was the part of sheild before Avengers
dont expect too much from these brainrotten meatheads who only think logical in fast and furious excuses for movies.
Benedict had experience voice acting more then someothers and you can hear it in his tone, the way he put emotion in it oof that ending was painful af. Not that others were bad just he was on another level
Dormammu and Smaug as notable roles
3:01 Sam Jackson's recruiting in restaurants so he can get points on his Capital One card.
@@genedoss664 can't believe Sam didn't raise his voice for the "you are not the center of my universe" here
Ep. 4 is the most heartbreaking episode of all 🥲🥲
Yea not when they watch it unfortunately
I like how episode 3 can be also: What if Hope joined shield?
The rest are just the consequences.
And fun fact: The mission where Hope died is the same mission Natasha mentions in CA: Winter Soldier, where she first encounter the winter soldier. So, we can safely assume that Bucky kill Hope
Ahh good ole Clit Barton
😭😭
One of the best episode’s written, not just for this but many of the live action stories.
It’s a shame you just seem to take all this as one big joke......
It's been confirmed that Edward Norton's is the same as Mark Ruffalo. They just recasted. Even Betty's dad the General was in a few MCU movies before he passed now Harrison Ford is taking the role.
Also confirmed that Terrance Howard is the same as Don Cheadle
What emotion? Fury in this universe has only his connections with Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Widow, and Coulson.
“Take your time, brother.” 💀

the Watcher gets more and more visible every episode
Why would Fury have an emotional response about people he’s never really met before?
Not only was ep 4 written better, you also see the difference you can get out of an experienced voice actor like Benedict
If you haven't seen Agents of Shields yet, you definitely need to.
@11:53 the expression “pound of flesh” actually comes from the Shakespeare play “Merchant of Venice”
This Doctor Strange episode is the best What If episode in both seasons. It was perfection and Benedict Cumberbatch delivers his usual master class.
That's because The Avengers didn't even assemble yet.
So they're not really known
Dr strange is in my top 3 fav characters so it made it all the more powerful and heartbreaking that episode. I shed a tear in it which is a credit to the writers. Great voice acting too.

Episode 2: What If Yondu let his Ravagers find Peter Quill?
Episode 3: What If Hope Pym joined SHEILD and died on a mission?
Episode 4: What If Christine was destined to die to create Sorcerer Strange?

Supreme Strange go wild
24:55 I like that Answer did clarify about the Thor situation
Wish we would've gotten more of this Dr. Strange in MCU.
... good news then! (If you consider the "what if?" part of the MCU, which would be logical.)
this si the mcu you fucking whiny retarded dumbass
With Dr. Strange going back to save Christine, at first he didn't want to mess with time too much. And so he just made the tiniest change which could hopefully keep Christine alive and not distort much else in the timeline.
When that didn't work, he tried a little bit more, but still not too much by doing everything normally, only using a different route to get to the same location.
As she kept dying, he started getting more and more desperate and taking more and more drastic measures.
I'm with Dave on the Ed Norton bit

Dr Strange is one of the best episodes of the ALL the Disney+ shows.
Another character recast for What if was Drax. In episode 2 that was not Dave Bautista’s voice.
53:38 Mark! I'm Viewer #20,107! 🎉 1.5K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 BM guys, you're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: "Doctor Evil"?! He's not in this series! 😂
Her death, being an "Absolute Point" fits in with a Multiverse concept, because there needs to be that option along with the other options. As in "Everything. Everywhere. All at Once"! Poor guy, just got stuck with the saddest option. 😢
Episode 3? Hmm. People died and other than from Pym there wasn't enough grief, is that it? 🤔
Heh. Pym became like Hawkeye and went on his killing spree. Imagine if he had used his particles to undo Hope's death! So what got with these two episodes in a row, was "Revenge versus Prevention"! Ironically the former was the healthier option! 😮
But anyway, with Christine not in play, the loss of the exotic supercar was 😢 enough to me!
Bye-bye for now! Namaste! 🙏
That@s how we got The Supreme Strage
Loved the ending for E4.
25:45 What Mason is missing is there was one more 'Avenger' that Hank Pym was going to kill: Nick Fury. Once Fury was out of the picture, there never would be any Avengers going forward.
Episode 3 is definitely one of What If’s most shocking episodes, and Episode 4 (my favourite) is the most tragic, but epic and well-written at the same time
Episode 4 is still my favourite episode
In the movie avengers stopped Loki from invasion. What if avengers were dead, Loki invaded earth in the end. That what the episode was about.
Dr strange repeatedly going back in time to save Christine and her still dying is reminiscent of the movie and book "The Time Machine"
Why would Fury be emotional? They don't even know each other on personal level.
27:39 as every episode go by the watcher is more more visible like u can see him in the city like before he was far away only observing but now he’s closer and maybe will interfere with things
I would've loved to see this strange in the big screen, we kinda did, but wasn't the same. This strange story is kinda my favorite of marvel since endgame.
The sadness in the dr strange episode
Loving all these back to the future references.
19:47; 😂 Hey guys, did y'all catch the Marvel Studios 'Look Ahead' Trailer from 3 days ago?!
Probably not something for them to react to just yet. If they're still catching up on marvel content
@@MattyBmemes Not really spoiler content though, right?
@@AllInTheGame01 doesnt matter, they havent caught up yet, get over yourself and wait like everybody else. Its not really important anyway.
Season 3 comes this December. One episode a day starting on the 22nd.
Mr. Answer, I don't think Fury and Coulson would go get shawarma, considering Loki is taking over the Earth
What If...? in the comics was a lot like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits TV shows, an anthology of stories where, unlike the usual comic stories, the good guys can lose, and then what? Heroes can become the villains with a bad stroke of luck, or never getting the good break, and going bad from the start. In Strange's case, the true tragedy is the absolute point of Christine's death held true even after sacrificing the universe to save her. He couldn't be told otherwise, maybe because his story didn't involve him being humbled by losing his hands, so he held all of his abilities, and that arrogance that he could do things no one else could. His passion for life and career may have ended with Christine, but not his ego.
Always great reactions and commentary, gentlemen! Thank you.
Episode 3, WHAT IF... THE WORLD LOST ITS MIGHTIEST HEROES? delivers some important insights into the pecking order of grading human intellects and intellectual achievement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recall that Dr. Bruce Banner went dark after becoming the Hulk. In AVENGERS we learned that Banner spent years trying to cure himself of the Hulk, even attempting suicide. But he could find no way to stop becoming the monster. Neither Tony Stark nor Bruce Banner were clever enough to figure out a way.
But Dr. Henry Pym did. That makes Pym "smarter" than both Stark and Banner (at least in the way comicbooks and comicbook movies measure intelligence). Discovering and creating technology utilizing the properties of Pym Particles (Marvel's imagined fundamental particle with properties that dictate size and mass) is so advanced that, according to official Marvel Studios material, even Wakandan science is baffled by it. That makes Pym the smartest human being introduced thus far on Earth-616.
This will change soon when two other EXTREMELY important characters are introduced. One is Dr. Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four. The other is the greatest supervillain of all time, Dr. Victor Von Doom, inventor of the Space-Time Platform and the Power Sifon.
It shouldn't. Hank is actually smarter than Reed also. He's the 616 Scientist Supreme. He is the single greatest scientific mind in Marvel.
Episode 4 shows that they can make a great story with the limited runtime
31:44 Mark! Now they've borrowed from "Doctor Who"! 😮
That point in history in the story fury didn't really know any of them. He hadn't met thor, hulk, briefly met tony at that point. The only ones he had a relationship with at that point was with widow and hawkeye.
Just started watching
Can’t wait to see your reaction to 4 episode ❤😊
This is one of the greatest of the What If episodes. Well there are good ones coming up but this one was amazing. Also Season 3 is green lit, and set to come out in December which i just found out. I'm so hyped for another season. I need my Marvel fix ,and Agatha isn't really doing it for me, but i know Daredevil is set for January and i still have Deadpool and Wolverine to watch. So there is some more Marvel content on the way.
I definitely liked episode 4 better than 3!! Can't wait to see what you think LET'S GO.....
You need to watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D... Coulson did a little more after the Avengers
A little? 7 seasons is "a little"?
@@PeverellTheThird 😂 you gotta ease people into it... I also wasn't going to mention that every season except the last two was 22 episodes long 😂
not canon, doesnt matter how much you fanatic retarded braindeads cry about it all day and night in somebodys comment section.
no need to watch garbage like that
Remember What If season one predates Multiverse of Madness. I can't remember if you guys have watched Loki season 1 yet but be sure to watch Loki season one and two before What If season 2.
Normally I like happy ending, but the Strange episode is so good I love it!
I guess it's not really MCU but the Mile Morales Spider-Man with the Spiderverse talks about the Absolute Points in Time. The What If comics were always a lot of fun. Sometimes goofy but fun none-the-less. It's cool seeing them animated. I don't remember how accurate these are to the comics but with this kind of story that isn't all that important. Cheers.
The Dr Strange episode is my fav of season 1, along side a future episode. Seeing Strange be basically a god from all the power he absorbed, just perfection. Even if he was kinda evil of course. This is the episode that also made me really like What If. Until this point I was kinda "meh" with it. And whats coming up near the end of this season... just blew my mind.
That Dr strange episode is heartbreaking breaking and a hint into "Anchor beings" for timelines, you actually meet that strange in Multiverse of madness 💯🔥
No, those are two different strangers. This strange is Strange Supreme, who as shown destabilized his universe causing its destruction. The movie strange is Sinister Strange, who used the Darkhold and caused an incursion between two universes and destroyed both.
Its not the Strange from What If in MoM. Stop spreading these dogshit retard takes.
I think 'technically' he did break the absolute point. Because her death was due to the timeline disolving, along with everything else. So, her death was due to Strange's actions, not 'fate'.
I don't understand this Edward Norton thing. Mark Ruffalo was in the opening credits of this episode. That was mark. Am I missing something?
They just put Ruffalo in the setting and situation from the Ed Norton Hulk movie, so it was a cool callback.
Yeah the doctor Strange episode
Is in the top three of season one
Again, thank you for all your reaction videos!
Episode Four, WHAT IF... DOCTOR STRANGE LOST HIS HEART INSTEAD OF HIS HANDS? is extremely important as it introduces a key concept to THE MULTIVERSE SAGA, the "Absolute Point."
The ABSOLUTE POINT IN TIME is an irreversible, inevitable CAUSAL event that can happen in one timeline/universe or many, even all. Absolute points are related to "Canon Events," crucial defining event in a person's life shaping who they must be while relating consequentially to their entire universe and network of intercommunal existents. The 2023 movie SPIDER-MAN: ACCROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE introduces Canon Events.
How do ABSOLUTE POINTS IN TIME and CANON EVENTS work? Doctor Stephen Strange plays an essential role in his universe and its destiny. For Strange to become who he must be, he must surrender Christine Palmer in some way -- the way this is accomplished is the ABSOLUTE POINT IN TIME. Surrounding canon events demand that she and he must NEVER be together. If Strange cannot bring himself to surrender Palmer, this results in her death becoming an ABSOLUTE POINT IN TIME in whatever universe/timeline he refuses to give her up. This explains why Christine Palmer survives on Earth 616: losing his HANDS and fortune, Stephen Strange was forced to give her up socially, so she lived. Through the events of DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, Strange grew and REALLY surrendered his addiction to her and died to some of his narcissistic tendencies. Incidentally, the greatest Strange of all is Earth 616 Strange.
It is not an ABSOLUTE POINT IN ALL TIMES that Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man/Person; however, in most universes, it is Peter Parker who does. But for some SPIDER-MAN to exist, a tragic loss of one or more loved ones -- coupled with extreme hardships and misfortunes and tremendous difficulties -- are inescapable Canon Events that shape and are shaped by related Absolute Points.
It's important to understand that, in the MCU, as in Marvel Comics, all time-travel is Multiversal Transit. This is explained and illustrated in AVENGERS ENDGAME. In other words, to travel through time = to travel between different parallel universes (e.g., Earth 616, Earth 10005, Earth 838, etc.). Time-travelers like the Kangs and the TVA can cause tremendous problems between universes, and even create situations that imperil the entire Multiverse.
For instance: by discovering the lost Space-Time Platform of Doctor Doom, 31st-century Nathaniel Richards used it to re-discover parallel universes exist. He also discovered Multiversal variants of himself. Doing this created the Kangs, eventually leading to He Who Remains being the sole surviving and victorious Kang who established the Time Variance Authority. That means that Doctor Doom is CAUSALLY the ABSOLUTE POINT for both all Kangs and the TVA, because without his Space-Time Platform (see MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS and QUANTUMANIA), the Kangs and TVA would not exist. Oroboros and Victor Timely from LOKI season two are red herrings--Doom is the origin of all technology of Kangs and the TVA. That makes Doom the Achilles Heel of both the Kangs and the TVA: they are helpless to directly interfere or sanction Doom as that would wipe them out of existence. This explains the goal of Victor Von Doom in the upcoming AVENGERS DOOMSDAY and why he needs the Scarlet Witch to obliterate the current state of affairs in the Multiverse.
02:50 Impeccably F-D that up too!
The sadness about what if The Avengers died is all that promise gone - they never got to be the heroes
"No Blade.." Weeeellll 🙃
Ep 4 was peak
He is here just because he is homie😂
What If? Season 1 will surprise you because the episodes will tie together in the last few. Everything is intended to feel unfinished in the earlier episodes. There is an overarching story, you just haven't reached that point yet.
For me that's my favorite episode.
You know, it’s funny watching the surprised reaction of most people to episode 4, whereas reading the reaction of people who had read the What If? Comics online tended to be “oh same old same old, universe destroyed ho hum, think I’ll skip it.”
The kane music makes me laugh for some reason lol
Its all about Hope...why is Hope capitalized?? Cuz its a name!! The subs gave it away if you paid attention 😅
Just a suggestion. You might want to calm the music down while you’re talking at the beginning. I have no idea what Appleton Oak even said.
Or mute it completely
Please react to a movie called How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. It's a Thai movie, it centered around a young male who, after received news that his grandma got diagnosed with cancer, decided to take care of his grandma while he himself trying to secure his inheritance from his grandma.
This movie is a seriously tear-jerker movie, full of family-themed lessons and, I can dare to say, this movie is a lot better than any family movies that you've ever seen or reacted before.
As regards you all thoughts on Episode 3, I think what you guys have to do before watching any episode is go in with an open mind and don't fully expect to see what we are all used to seeing in the Avengers movies
