What If... Thor Were an Only Child? || Jotun Loki (3/3)

I think it's time we all admit that What if?...Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead Of His Hands? has been the only genuinely interesting and well done episode of the show so far.

High stakes, good pacing, phenomenal animation, and a story that actually deviates from the original in a meaningful way. It actually feels like such a small change lead to a vastly different reality.

I think what makes a What If? story interesting is the ties it has to the main timeline; if you want to showcase how a small choice can utterly change a whole universe, then you have to start in a universe that is comparably the same as what we already know, and show how one character choosing one different option can be catastrophic. Otherwise, you aren't really exploring branching timelines/butterfly effect, you're just looking at unrelated universes.

Even then, not every idea is interesting enough to warrant spending so much time on it. *ahem* captain carter *cough*.

Strange Supreme's appearances are just so fascinating because we get to see the new highs and lows a character can reach when their hearts are in a slightly different place. We get our unique factor in the form of him being genuinely in love with Christine instead of his job, and then our diverging path with him choosing to seek out dangerous knowledge, a choice which is highlighted by showcasing what would have happened if he hadn't done so! In the end, the universe is fundamentally changed, completely collapsed around him, despite starting off so normal. And that's not even the end of it!

He shows up in more episodes because of the power and knowledge he has attained, and as a lesson to the Watcher that choosing to sit out is only selfishness in the face of a danger that is ready and willing to take advantage of your compliance. It is genuinely fun to see the power he has in action; Ultron tried to blow up the universe in the finale, and Strange DEVOURED THE EXPLOSION. Like, that's fucking awesome!

And then there's Carter... Whose reason for being everwhere is just "I'm Captain Carter!" How dull...

Anyways, Strange supreme is goated and I will have no sass.

Back in high school a friend of mine had an Oscar themed bday party and gave out little awards. I got one they said “most likely to marry a cartoon character” because I was in love with anime. It was hilarious. And not wrong.

I’d marry any version of animated Bucky Barnes in a heartbeat, thank you.

So my grandad and I were watching Season 1 of What If this past week because he hadn’t seen it, and after finishing both seasons, I think the Season 1 finale was better than the Season 2 finale

Twice now I have looked at the Marvel What If season lineup and been disappointed they aren't doing What If Thor Was Raised by Frost Giants. Tragic.

Especially because Frost Giant Thor would've been a better more interesting addition to the Guardians of the Multiverse than... Frat Boy Thor

Every friend group should include:

Went back and rewatched That Scene and analyzed it now that I was up close

Its been approx. 37 hours, still not over it.

Dinner date

Cafe

when you're covered in sweat, tomato sauce, and 10 hours of shift but your coworker still looks at you like you're his sun and stars

O'Bengh : Is she worth the pain? A man does not suffer like this for his own glory.

Doctor Strange : Every moment of it.

O'Bengh : There is a fine line between devotion and delusion. Love can break more than your heart. It can shatter your mind.

Doctor Strange : Uh-huh. And in which book did you read that?

O'Bengh : [chuckles] No book, Armani. Life taught me.

Vigil - 2x02

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him
