I echo a lot of your sentiments, Coy. I just kept having fun watching it. I kept telling myself: "This episode is pure chaos, yet... It's working... Is it working? I don't know! It's not giving me time to think about it!!!". Overall I just had fun through it all and it has a lot of heart. Thanks for the video Coy! (Vormir cliff jumping had me in stiches)
KISS first appeared in a comic book in Howard #12/#13 ...having KISS as the soundtrack was awesome!!! ...also was that Bev yelling from upstairs? (Mrs. Switzler) ...loved this sooo much
I loved this episode! This is what 'What if...' episode should be. Just weird and crazy! The cherry on top was the song! Honestly, I wanted the 'What if..' episodes to be standalone with the creators trying something new. And yesss, the chemistry of Howard the duck and Darcy was the best part of the episode!! This is one of my favourite episodes in the 3 seasons. This was almost everything I expected from the show.
I loved the episodes all the movie and geek references were so quick and funny. Whod have thought Eyes wide Shut would get mentioned in a marvel animated show. The Kiss song ended up in my head for hours after it.
Having been in middle school when the original HTD movie came out, I immediately loved the hilarious comedy sci-fi flick. Also, Howard was super cute :) Having the main characters be different species didn't bother me at all. The bedroom scene was embarrassing for a middle schooler to watch, but it didn't feel unnatural, because you could see that the main characters cared about one another and supported one another like mature, responsible people. It was actually a good example of a healthy relationship, which happens so seldom in movies and TV these days. Also, I eventually collected all the comics, so I know more of Howard's back story than the average viewer. I think seeing him and Darcy together seems as natural as it does is because the original concept of Howard was that he was just an ordinary guy on his home planet. An average working joe who keeps getting teleported into various bizarre situations by a force called the "Nexus of All Realities," where he ends up having to save whatever group of people he meets. He doesn't want to be a hero. He just wants a home and a family that loves him. Darcy seems to want the same thing, so I can see why they hit it off so well. The fact that they went to the trouble to rehearse various things for their baby before she was even born shows that they're going to be better parents than most. I feel like Nick Fury might as well have said, "I apologize for judging you unfit parents without knowing anything about you. You've already taught your child about love and loyalty before she was even born. If more parents were like you, there would be less people like THEM." Cue the glare toward the place where the bad guys all got vaporized by baby Byrdie, whose first act in life was to protect the parents who had proven they loved her for HER, not her powers. I especially loved all the praise and positive affirmation Howard and Darcy gave to each other and to unborn Byrdie. You can see they're going to be super supportive parents. Byrdie will be one Marvel character who won't be messed up, mentally or emotionally. Not with parents like The Ducks around.
In April 2024 KISS sold the rights to their catalog, brand name, and IP to an entertainment group founded a member of ABBA. The company has worked with ILM on live event effects, surely has a working relationship with Disney
I think epi 2 and this being a very cool rundown of the story being simple is one the best things as from every setback. Some marvel, not on their doing, if we had hulk movie or the next cap and tony from the supernatural side. They did what if we had development if they had kingo introduced first meeting agatha then you would bring sprite and icarus. They gave us the reincarnation of the Strange problem where magic is not used more often. All the things where the abomination hulk mech monsters were misses and then mesh like this what you like to be compared as eternals where all the build up was not there
It was so WEIRD! Literally all of the alumni come back, all of the references, the actual OG voices are playing around, it all worked….around a story of a randomly inexplicable super baby but it’s a duck and a woman? Which is already….what? This is the definition of weird lol but still fun
Maybe not dooms own avengers... But I want him to have his own evil illuminati with the Maker, krakoan Xaviers, superior iron man, evil Dr strange, and lastly Maestro... It'd be a yes to me
I see a ton of “this is chaos who asked for this” comments. This is what What If should be! I don’t want everything to be this giant world ending thing but I do want them to all be chaotic and off the wall anything can happen type. That was my big issue with Party Thor, it played it safe and the world felt boring cuz of it. This actually fixed that episode for me because it showed the consequences of the party thor episode, space worlds intertwining with earths.
What made me really like it because it’s different from the punchy punchy emo villain type story i want marvel to get weird i want them to have fun create great stories great interpretations of the comics go there whoever green light this thank you
Ugh. I feel as though Marvel is trolling us with this season. I appreciate that they brought back characters like Shang Chi, Moon Knight, and Kingo in prior episodes, and Episode 3 was pretty fun overall, but this? WTH is this? The whole thing was ridiculous and then when more and more baddies kept showing up to try to get the egg, it was like Marvel KNEW they had gone too far and was just piling on to let us know that they understood they were doing it for a reason. Seasons 1 & 2 were really good, and when this was announced as the final season I was bummed, but after 3 of 4 pretty pointless episodes, I'm not so bummed anymore.
I’m going to be honest. This episode plus many others in What If just make me question how bad other ideas were. If this was one of the best ideas that got to become an episode just like the Party Thor one, then there is just a lot of incompetence. What If is such a waste of potential ultimately.
exactly what i was thinked i didnt watched the second and third episode after the first was so terrible i checked the second but it was that garbage i turned off after 2 mins😂 even the first season wasnt that great but it has some good episodes like the sinister strange one and the finale was fine too even if irs not make sense with the concept of what if should be second season was worse and with the same finale recipe they used once its just doesnt work again and now in season 3 there is no good episode in the season at all like there will be wild west avengers, and maybe the wstcher dissapeared episode will be good but at this point i dont think and for the last episode there will be again a big multiversal avengers fight which is so boring this point
@@edgardpalotai619 Personally I liked it all so far. But you should probably check out the 3rd episode, because that's most people's favourite episode
@@Shadow-Shell i will probably watch the last 2 episodes skip all other bc this what if concept doesnt interest me anymore i watch reather some multiversal fights at end which is also boring but still better than howard or kajiu hulk the whole multiverse thing is boring too in movies thats why they will rush the remaining movies in next two years so they can start finally the new universe with x men etc where there will be much more saga at same time like street level saga, x men saga, cosmic saga, and maybe kang returns also there will be multiverse too mut only in some stories bc its not work as core element of a saga also running more saga at same time is better choice bc for examplet u cant put daredevil in multiverse saga bc he is street level it would feel forced thats why need more level for stories dont have to connect every movie and show just keep all of them on their level
I guess I don't really like the sillier episodes - I did not enjoy this one all that much. Clearly absurd, intentionally so - but it just didn't work for me. This season, actually has been a let down, with the exception of episode 3. It feels like this season is far more disjointed than previous seasons...It reminds me more of assistant editors month comics that Marvel used to do (still do? I don't know...) Not my bag, I guess.

Christmas, birth of Christ. Episode 4, birth of…something.
Merry Christmas
It's Byrdie. Who will be back in a later episode
Remember that red fire feathered girl you couldn't recognize in the opening credits this season? That is Byrdie aka Howard and Darcy's love child.
Love child? They are properly married! 😁
"Fury out!"
This felt most like the comic What If...?. Absolute batshit craziness that could only happen in the What If...? format.
congrats on 40k!!!
YES, CONGRATS!!!!
Happy 40k and growing, Coy! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your followers. Here's to all the best in 2025!
I’d book a room at The Frost Giant Chalet!
What a weird ride. And loved the cute song duet.
I did not enjoy these episodes so far, but I am here for Storm in the trailers ..so I hope it gets better
We all needed this episode to allow us to embrace the marvel universe in a different way
WHat a sweet and funny episode, loved it! Frost-Giant Loki is the best!
Time to watch the live action howard the duck again 😂
I loved the episodes all the movie and geek references were so quick and funny. Whod have thought Eyes wide Shut would get mentioned in a marvel animated show. The Kiss song ended up in my head for hours after it.
human mother + duck daddy = angel, no?
Birdie the new character coming this season
U think that winged character in the glass from the intro is the egg hatched?
OK obvious question that birth must’ve been a beast. That’s a huge egg.
Awesome cameos.
Merry Christmas ya lovely ❤️

I hate that Zeuz is played for laughs. He should be on par with Odin.
the mutants and coming. And this is the beginning of the prejudice that is coming when beings other than humans come to earth.
Merry Christmas and SMASH THE LIKE!
There was a question how she was mutated like Rambu was

This makes SO much sense! Thank you
It's an origin story Coy....... watch this space 👼
“Except with love between a duck and a woman.” 😂😂😂
I think we see the kid later (trying to say it without spoiling)

Loving this show!! Would also like to hear your thoughts on the final season of Superman and Lois if you’ve watched.

Quite the origin story
9/10 last comment, it was cartoonish because he is 4th wall and cartooney power like Bugs explained in Space Jam ❤
Byrdie will Return, we’ve already seen her adult form.
I actually ended up really liking this episode. This episode is HILARIOUS!!!
Maybe not dooms own avengers... But I want him to have his own evil illuminati with the Maker, krakoan Xaviers, superior iron man, evil Dr strange, and lastly Maestro... It'd be a yes to me
Agreed, it felt soo fuckin Christmas’ like idk what it was but it’s prob my fav of the season, but I’ve not seen ep 6.

I agree. Found this more entertaining than Party Thor.
It feels more like Marvel's Looney Tunes ?
This was the video we did not know we needed and this was absolutely amazing and we need to embrace it
Seth and Robot 🤖 Chicken. 🐓 The og Whatif
I really hope Howard doesn’t have traditional duck anatomy
I thought the baby might be the new original character we saw in the trailers but her hair is blue.
What made me really like it because it’s different from the punchy punchy emo villain type story i want marvel to get weird i want them to have fun create great stories great interpretations of the comics go there whoever green light this thank you
Glad to see Darcy back this season. Still have no idea how she got that egg out and I don't even care. 😊
Good show it’s just that human and animal/human mating is kind of to far when thought comes into play.
Why the hell does marvel even think a human could birth a egg..and Howard and Darcy just no..I knew this season was gonna be a mess of a joke
Amazing episode! Only actual review and react out on Christmas! Op character 🐦 I hope we see later! She is omega level

This season of what if have been terrible. This is the worst episode
What if, doctor manhattan broke copy write laws and invaded the marvel multiverse?
I didn’t know the voice actors. But I thought they sound super Jewish. I wasn’t wrong 🤷🏿♂️
