There's definitely some converge going on with these storylines that I'm sure will surprise normies like Peggy meeting Doctor Strange and a new Avengers team with Captain Carter, Thanos!Gamora, T'Challa, Thor etc.
I hear it somehow confirmed the “Ant Man up Thanos’s ass” meme.
Hank Pym/Yellowjacket kills the Hulk by throwing a Grow Disk into his heart from the inside.
Yeah I really don't know what happened here, but it's just not landing. Doesn't help that the voicework on characters like Natasha stick out like a sore thumb and the quality on Ruffalo's audio sounds like it was recorded in a wind tunnel at times.
Yeah if this next episode isn't a dramatic step up I'm done with it. So far they've been slowly increasing in quality as they've gone on but they're so skincrawlingly unfunny that if the next one isn't a significantly more creative plot I'm tapping out. (haha, Coulson is a fag!", repeat it 12 more times) That said this third episode gets a lot of points for being an actually creative use of the alternate universe shit instead of "What about scenario you saw already, but with character you didn't?!"
Having mulled it over for a bit, I did like the twist at the end with a psychotic version of Hank Pym, but the general presentation and writing was a big step down from the last two. Do we know what next week's theme is? I imagine they're saving zombies for later in the season, maybe even S2.
All of them so far have felt pretty rushed. Presumably they're not particularly cheap to make, but weren't the first three live action shows roughly as expensive as the movies to produce? Another 20 minutes of proper pacing would make all the difference with these episodes, so far every one has been like "ok we need to hit this beat then this beat and now this beat and then END!".
I assume they mean Halloween '22 otherwise that's cutting it a bit fine lol
Yes, the special is planned for 2022.
I’ve seen several movies and shows with the same premise. This isn’t one of the better takes, sorry. The “Absolute Point” (which feels ripped off from Doctor Who, sorry) is blatantly arbitrary and artificial, and the internal logic regarding causality is nonsensical at best. Not only that, we know from Loki, Endgame, and Wandavision that there were likely other better solutions to the conflict that didn’t involve changing history (altho the absolute point seems to not care about causality at all, it just arbitrarily destroys the universe if one woman isn’t dead), like magically cloning her, resurrecting her soul from the afterlife in a new body, or grabbing a doppelgänger from a parallel Earth where she isn’t arbitrarily cursed. It’s darkness for darkness’ sake and it doesn’t even make sense.
