This was definitely a weird one. I'm guessing the whole absorbing demons bit is something from the comics that I haven't read.

I think I'd prefer to have seen the scenario from HISHE where Strange starts opening the text then decides that he's driving fast in bad weather and should keep his eyes on the road instead of playing with his phone.

Oh I did, too! I just have no idea what to think about it. I do think some of these What Ifs will tie into the upcoming movies, though. Just like they used the Black Widow post-credits to set up Hawkeye.

Yeah I heard rumors like they will use the secret super group from comics in future MCU called Illuminati which would get for Members Professor X, Captain Carter and others

Take it as nothing serious tho, I only believe official announcement or stuff confirmed by Marvel

To come back on the episode, for those who read DC comics (I Stopped a while ago) it give me some very Dark Metal vibe
The origins stories of the Dark Knights have some very What if vibe (for those who doesn't read them, they're basically alternate version of Batman from Earths who were supposed to be pruned because they were unstable, all are pretty grim

for example there's a Doomsday looking batman because he injected himself with some genetic material from Doomsday out of desperation fighting Superman and killed him
There's another one who killed the Joker but got poisoned from something that came from his body I can't remember exactly one and turned into a grotesque mix between him and his dead nemesis "The Batman who laughs")

At the very least I think most if not all episodes are a setup for the Guardians of the Multiverse

Loved it. I am pretty confident they're using What If? as a bit of a testing ground. Some things they have definite plans for, some they have ideas for but want to test the waters with What If? to see how it looks and what the reaction is etc. Pretty much exactly how they use that title in the comics.

ayanami: Also, yes, Iain deserves constant praise, always! And for the Doctor in particular. Chilling role! Nov 24, 2024 23:07:48 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

Nov 24, 2024 23:10:42 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Exactly!

Nov 24, 2024 23:11:32 GMT

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT

ayanami: ...son and apparently there's an audio book version of the novel featuring a bunch of Hollywood talents! (Gotta have connections in life!

) Nov 24, 2024 23:13:41 GMT

Jemma Simmons: What?! That's wild! I'll have to check into it! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Sounds way more interesting than the movie, anyway! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh, just FYI, next weekend is a holiday weekend here, so I won't be able to be around.

Nov 24, 2024 23:15:41 GMT

ayanami: Absolutely! Which makes it even more bewildering that they went with such a lame clichéd Hollywood story instead. Which, btw, is actually getting a sequel next year. Who'd have thunk it?! Nov 24, 2024 23:17:08 GMT

ayanami: Ah, alright, thanks for the heads up. Nov 24, 2024 23:18:07 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that's something I've noticed lately too. Why the sudden need for sequels for 20-30 year old movies? Most of the time they're crap and I'd definitely rather see new material. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:11 GMT

ayanami: I think I'm gotta call it a night now, though. I've got kind of an early morning coming up tomorrow and it's getting late over here. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a good couple of weeks then!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding

Nov 24, 2024 23:21:10 GMT

ayanami: Tbf, World War Z is "only" from 2013, but yeah, I get your drift. Answer: Hollywood producers are all a bunch of chicken sh*ts, who only want to invest money into stuff with a recognisable name and a good track record, so only sequels, prequels and reboots Nov 24, 2024 23:22:41 GMT

ayanami: From now until eternity!
