What If...? |Spoiler OT| Groot Was One Of Us?

The only thing I hate about this episode is that I was spoiled to Ultron coming because of the Hyundai commercial. Otherwise I wouldn't been like WHAAAAAAT?
I LOVED that!
Aaaand people in Youtube comments are already arguing that this episode proves that Thor is more powerful then Captain Marvel
More concerning than power levels is why Carol was stuck under an enchanted hammer that the irresponsible Thor was somehow still worthy to wield. What phrase is the hammer actually enchanted with? "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be a frat boy..."
This was a very dumb episode and I adored every second of it.
Only thing that didn't make sense was she couldn't get out from under it, without the bad blood between the Ice Giants and Asgardians then Odin wouldn't ever put that spell on the hammer, as Thor wouldn't have gone after them against his orders - really speaking anyone could pick that thing up.
I guess we didn't really see her try to get up though.

So is the Ultron stinger going to be bringing some of these characters of the season together?
Jesus Christ...you take shit way too seriously. Lighten up.
Thor 1 didn't take place, so there's no enchantment on the hammer. Only Thor can wield it since it's his and he doesn't even have to be worthy.

If you don't want to talk about the episode kindly fuck off.
Before What If was even announced, if you told me that Benedict Cumberbatch would turn out to be a pretty good voice actor who can play a tormented Doctor Strange pleading with a god at the end of a universe
and who would fucking outdo him by a billion fucking spots is Chris Hemsworth in this fuckin' madness
You know what I wouldn't be even be mad

Lighten. The fuck. UP!!!
Yeah, it confused me as I thought there was going to be a pay-off to Carol seemingly not being able to get up, like the enchantment was completely different in that universe or something.
That was one of my favorite episodes. I haven't read the comic but to me, this series is at its best when it strays wildly from the MCU. I love the idea of Captain Carter, for example, but that episode was almost a total retread of the first Captain America movie with a character change that didn't really change much up.
Since when was this a rule? The only place the stones don't work is in whatever dimension the TVA is in. Otherwise, none of what happened in Endgame could have been possible.
The comic is very much the same with its one-offs that sometimes get more.
iirc this panel is from a What-if where Cap woke up at a different time and found out there was a MAGA Cap and went "fuuuuck that"
It's usually a thing that the stones in different universe can be different colors and can't affect other universe. MCU is a canon universe in the comics so I assumed it fell under the same constraints
It seems like this rule still applies in some aspect given the TVA
Kinda whatever episode at first, but by the end of it you just learn to chill and accept it for the funny ride it was lol
It ending with Thor freaking out about his mom catching him partying and having to clean up everything was pretty funny
I didn't really like Jane's characterization though, girl was way too pressed over Thor (and blurting out she loved him, like huh???). Reminds me that I'm going to be pretty much waiting for Love and Thunder to finally actually like her character, assuming it does right by her.
That one dude being disappointed that they never get to use the nukes had me all like 😬😬😬
Glad he's not in charge lmao

Are you telling me comedic AU stories can't be used as THE TRUE measurement for a character's power level?!
It's a comics rule. The Endgame stones were from the same universe, though, because putting them back at the end of the movie preserved teh Sacred Timeline.
THANK YOU!
I was waiting forever for that @#$%ing hammer to stop working.
Loved this one, and love that the people who hate it hate it for such absurd reasons as "no stakes in the fight they weren't even using their full powers" like wow y'all sure watch things for reasons huh.
Once the episode pivoted into "aw shit mommy's coming home" I lost it. The humor in these what-ifs has been pretty bottom of the barrel stuff so far, but this episode actually finally made it work.

I'm guessing the hammer worked differently in this timeline or it knew Thor was ok as he explained about partying on a dying star
Yea I know he wasn't some nobody, his name just escaped me when I was typing that is all
Tru
Lol
I noticed there was one point you could see an inscription on the hammer but it was written in runes. I imagine someone like New Rockstars will translate it for their analysis video.
How? It was even explicitly said that she was holding back. Man, they feel so attacked, don't they?
In fairness, it's not like Thor was giving it his best either.
But like, more importantly, it's clear that these alt-universe characters also operate on different levels of power than the main MCU one. Like, I'm sure you nerds will get at me for disrespecting Hank Pym because in the comics he's unstoppable, but I don't get the impression he'd have been able to kill Thor and Hulk in most circumstances except that what-if universe where they needed him to be able to do so for the murder mystery plot.
So Party Thor and Karen Danvers (sorry, it's too good a nickname) probably don't match main MCU Thor and Cap Marvel...whose power levels themselves would vary depending on narrative need, like how Iron man could take a tank shell in Iron Man 1, but gets his shit kicked in by Captain America's punches in Civil War.
It's kind of sad how much happier Loki is being a prince with his real family compared to being adopted by Odin. Shows how much of a screw-up Odin is.
Yes!
It can be viewed a a low-key commentary on trans-racial adoption, and the White Saviour Complex that often is underlying...
My one question is how come Loki has his accent still, isn't the only reason for his British accent his upbringing on Asgard?
VA is such a stark improvement. Super entertaining episode.
Almost as entertaining at the "criticism" being levied at what amounts to a teen-movie plot lol real serious shit

I know Thor 1 isn't everyone's favourite, but don't complain about Thor being worthy if you didn't watch the film where that enchantment literally got created for a specific reason.
Now why Odin would be okay with partying rather than warmongering idk, but that's not the point. Watch the films 🙃
