Bosco685 Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 A decent episode - but the short format doesn't allow it to develop further to make it a great episode. If anything it has scenes you will remember from various MCU films joined together in a different light. But that is going to get old for me if it is commonly 'look how we changed that up'.

I agree. the episodes all feel as though I have already seen it and it is simply as you say 'look how we changed that up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to see much more of this Black Widow as they made her quite intense and deadly (circa Iron Man 2 to Captain America: The Winter Soldier days).

Rip Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I watched the first two. The first one wasn't too bad. Enjoyed the WW2 Iron Man/ Super Agent Carter. I'd say it was a C+. The 2nd one felt a bit too cartoonish/goofy, kind of boring as well. I would rate that one around a D/D+. Hopefully these improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemedgroup Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 My wild bombshell hypothesis: Marvel will introduce mutants into the MCU with a What If? episode based on What if #10 What if Wolverine Had Killed The Hulk? I said it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebal Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Will anyone watch this series who isn't already knee-deep in the lore? How's it looking from that perspective i.e. are they interesting stories/plots in their own right? Or are there too few episodes to tell yet?

Ares Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I hope this works. Most people are going to be expecting direct offshoots of the movies. If they stray from those people may not be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it first. so far all 3 episodes have been re-treads of recent movie content. I would love to see that Wolverine episode but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, really liked her. Something interesting: I assume this episode was made before the Scarlett vs Disney stuff, but noted Scarlett didnt voice Black Widow.

Crimebuster Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The Hulk scenes were interesting. First time Betty Ross has even been mentioned since Incredible Hulk came out, I think, and it was interesting seeing scenes that originally had Edward Norton being redone with Mark Ruffalo. piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TupennyConan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The show is dry. Cold. Even dull. Additionally, the MCU has reveled in the Hulk's mistreatment post-We have a Hulk. I reckon if Disney controlled the Hulk IP they wouldn't write him like this. This latest mistreatment of the Hulk is enough. I've lost interest.

I’m interested to see how these stories all interconnect. absolutely! I think collectively the board members here are hoping to see something not connected to the recent movies. I understand why they would make stories connected to their movie universe though. Example: I really enjoyed the What If story where the spirit of Steven Strange joins Frank Castle and together they are vampire slayers. The lord of vampires is none other than Wolverine. I acknowledge the story is based on the Dracula issues of X-Men though. Edited August 26, 2021 by Artboy99 piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
