What If...?

[Deset Gled]

Nortons Hulk is directly referenced in the Avengers movie when Banner talks about trying to put a bullet in his head but “the other guy” just spat the bullet out. The abomination and General Ross are the other links.
The movie isnt as bad as people make out, its better than IM 3 or Thor 3 but yeah the rights are weird.

Incredible Hulk also has an appearance by Tony Stark in the post credits scene.

I remember liking Incredible Hulk when it came out. I think it's certainly on par with some of the other MCU fillers. But I have to admit I haven't seen it in over a decade (a decade? Wow.).

Back to the main topic... Overall, I liked it much in the same way that I like Breyer's French Vanilla ice cream. It's good. Not the greatest. Not breaking any new ground. But definitely good.

The animation was very good. It could have stood to have been stretched out a bit but there are budget constraints, which I understand.

Storywise, I eyerolled fairly heavily when Red Skull went full Rasputin and freed some Great Old One who we won't name because that would cost money from its crystal prison from beyond the stars.

And, of course, with the birth of the Multiverse, people can now argue endlessly about where in the MCU all other films with Marvel characters could fit.

Not to mention time travel ("Let's see, part of Avengers: Endgame goes here, some of it goes in between these two movies, another part goes in the middle of that movie...")

That was actually in line with an Agents of Shield plot line. it turned out that Hydra worshipped this extra dimensional monster and everything they did was about bringing it to Earth someday.

Kind of a jumped the monster shark tank season.

Disney+ Unveils New MCU Timeline Order, Including WandaVision's Spot After Marvel's What If

Disney+ revealed their new timeline for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, placing What If...? in between both Loki and Wandavision.

Have to disagree with the placement of Loki. That's what you want to watch before it, but in timeline it's right after #6, Avengers. It's just in a separate timeline to the primary one.

Or at least that's where it starts. Much of it may be orthogonal to the normal timeline.

 

[Morrus]

Yeah. Loki follows straight on after The Avengers.

And What If? is random placements. The first episode is an alternate version of #1.

It's just occurred to me that Captain Carter slicing and dicing an elder god with a sword was repeating a Conan feat.

take it up with Disney.

take it up with Disney.

No? I’ll just have a conversation here, if that’s OK with you.

One would think that being trapped in an extradimensional space with an eldritch horror would have returned Captain Carter insane. Kind of a "lose all sanity points" event.
