You cannot tell the story of Thanos without Ant Man and the Guardians.

I don't think you can tell the story they are crafting without the Eternals or the Ten Rings.

This is a process that I trust.

And if you have not read the Ms. Marvel comic… she is the lynchpin if they do it right.

I watched the second episode of What If? with my wife. She has seen the relevant movies but doesn't really put much thought into them. This series seems to be the least accessible for the casual fan.

That said, I've enjoyed the first two episodes. I thought some aspects of this one were a little ridiculous. One character is vastly overpowered, but it is still a fun watch.

This What If series is like a wave hitting the beach for me. Just washes up, goes away and that's it. I watched it Thursday night and can barely remember it.

I get that. That's how the old comic stories were supposed to be, because it was mostly one-off stories, but I don't think that is how this animated series is going to go. The episodes may seem like a one-and-done, but from what I've read, they are building to something.

Episode two was a lot of fun.

I honestly don't know how they will tie it all together, but it does build the concept that things could be different on other timelines and the characters that are imported from these timelines could be different.

They could do something like Exiles. These could be origin stories for characters that end up working together.

We have a new trailer, and an old enemy returning, apparently:

I was just about to post that.

That old enemy part is old news. The actor spilled the beans months ago.

No way does Strange actually cast that spell.

In the comic books …

Looked like a Green Goblin or Hobgoblin toy in one scene.
