What If...?

I'm pretty sure we're seeing it on a large scale with all those who are digging in and refusing to be vaccinated, even after nearly being killed by Covid or having close friends/family killed by Covid.

But we're also seeing some of them changing their minds after such close calls or affected family members.

So, what about Winter Soldier? Buckey didn't get captured or lose an arm. Rogers wasn't held captive for very long (was guessing he would take James's place in history).

What If Zemo Needed a New Plan?

In this continuity Zemo was captured before he ever got a chance to experiment with Erskine's formula.

But Zemo presumably had the same chance to infiltrate Hydra into SHIELD, and access to the blood drawn from Carter, so he may have done some experimentation later on. Quite possibly Rogers would have volunteered for such an experiment.

Love the episode. As an old fan of the Captain Britain character, he only thing that would have nudged it a little higher would have been Peggy taking on the name Captain Britain. Though I can certainly understand staying away from that name if Marvel is batting around ideas of using the characters from the Captain Britain stores in the future since they are so different.

I was thinking Baron Helmut Zemo, the guy who used Winter Solider to tear apart the Avengers in revenge for Sokovia. That's not the science guy.

It's rarer than you think; there are many examples of these folks changing their tunes after close calls/deaths of loved ones.

The problem comes from the fact that these big splashy new findings always make news, but the numerous failed attempts to replicate those results never do. See also: the Stanford Prison Experiment

Sorry, getting my villains mixed up.

happens to the best of us

I think that episode negating 2 MCU movies might be fascinating (Winter Soldier and Civil War)

It's plausible Avengers 1&2 still happen.
Sokovia could still get pancaked.
The Accords would be written
Baron Zemo could still be pissed.

Peggy is NOT Steve Rogers. She might choose the same side, on signing, but she does not have his moral compass for WHY she'd do it. As noted by how much more brutal she was as Captain Carter. She probably isn't worthy to wield Mjolnir. Not like Steve was.

It was fun, though I had to adjust to the art style of the animation, and there were the typical crazy stunts Live-Action only tries with CGI and blue screen. And yeah, a little too much "Woman Woman" in some of her stunts and poses. The only thing that really threw me when I heard/saw it was something small. They are at a point when Atomic power research is still in secret and maybe not even being done by the US yet, but the moment when one of the characters asked if the Tesseract was nuclear was way out of place. I am not even sure when common terms switched from calling things atomic to calling them nuclear, but it sure wasn't during the war, especially not by some soldier. Nuclear is such a common term to use today, but it was still a bad slip to make it all the way through the process and into the finished product.

As for the other 8 episodes of season 1, some plot/title info is officially known for some of them. We know T'Challa as Star Lord is episode 2 and a Loki episode is episode 3. The Zombie teases are for episode 8 and Doctor Strange is episode 9. We also know one episode is about "Party Thor", but not which one between 4-7. Boseman is also credited for voice work for 4 episodes, though whether all of them are in the first season, or some will be in season 2. Since there being 18 episodes was announced quite a while ago, some of his work could be stretched out by Marvel. A couple of days ago, I saw a list of titles/descriptions for all 9 season 1 episodes, but now I can't find it again, but if I do, I will put that in spoiler tags when I post it.
