That was a really fun episode. It felt like everyone was having a blast doing it, especially Djimon Hounsou who I didn't expect to give me the most laughs but there you go.

This show continues to stand side by side with The Bad Batch as the most okayish avereargest shows of franchises I love.

Excellent story, did a lot better job at selling me on the concept then last weeks episode did. {Spoiler}I'm surprised they chose to write a story that basically consists of "everything is much better in this timeline". Thanos is reformed, the Ravagers are heroes, the "snap" never happened, T'Chaka is alive, as are Drax' family, etc. I was hoping they wouldn't have revealed that Wakanda being destroyed was a lie simply to give the story a little tragedy, a little reason to say that the timeline we've gotten for the MCU is probably for the best. But no, all hail T'Challa, grand savior of the universe. Although I guess with Cap's shield and Thor's hammer in the Collector's collection, they were hinting that something bad did happen to the Avengers back on Earth.
Also, why was Korath's personality so different then anything we've seen from him in either Guardians or Captain Marvel? I can't think of how T'Challa becoming Star-Lord could do that.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Josh Brolin was clearly having the time of his life as a reformed Thanos and I f***ing loved it. Does most of this episode make sense? No, but it was a tone of fun.

Cried at the end title card, but loved this episode more than Captain Carter. Nebula was fantastic and sure the Dork Order sucked but at least they did more

Well dam, the new episode definitely went in an unexpected direction. I enjoyed it though. Not sure if I enjoyed it as much as last weeks, but its definitely a contender for my favourite episode so far.

Well… that, for me, was a misfire. {Spoiler}{SPOILER}It just didn’t make sense! Hope was never an agent of SHIELD in the MCU, so the whole lynchpin of the story falls apart from there! Sure, kind of fun to see just how bad things can get in a very big week, but mess up one story beat and I’m left asking why if that doesn’t make sense. Better luck next week.

Its an alternate universe so peoples roles in the MCU shift including job occupations

I'm really starting to struggle with giving a shit. Traditionally "what if's" and multiverse stuff falls apart after one or two episodes with me.
For me it boils down to two things: 1. Too many changes to keep track of. I end up overthinking rather than enjoying. Becomes too easy to pick it apart. 2. I start to not care because in the grand scheme "it doesn't matter". Example: Oh no, New York version 42069 is getting destroyed! Oh well. The other infinite versions are alright. Who cares.

I haven’t seen this episode yet but this feels weirdly appropriate.
Also, some of you really overthink “What If”s.

I'm impressed that... {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Loki was actually willing to reason instead of killing everyone at once.
Still, his plan went off better than expected so he was probably in a good mood.

Enjoy it (or not) but picking massive holes in a story that has no real long term ramifications is counterproductive

Also, why was Korath's personality so different then anything we've seen from him in either Guardians or Captain Marvel? I can't think of how T'Challa becoming Star-Lord could do that. {Spoiler}You're also forgetting the fact that the variant was T'Challa being the one picked up rather than the very-much-still-half-Celestial Peter Quill. With Ego arriving at the end of the episode to snag him, there's pretty much nothing stopping him from enacting his plan from GotG 2 and spreading like wildfire. Also, some of you really overthink “What If”s. The big one that people need to realize is that (for now) there's no connection between each episode, they are each variants of the same timeline but otherwise have the same events play out more or less aside from the butterfly effect. Even if a character's motivations or origins don't match what you believe they should be, doesn't mean there wasn't some sort of action as a result of the variant introduced at the beginning of each episode that caused their motivations/characterization to change. Treat it like the anthology show that it is with the only connection being "set in the Marvel Universe". This is 'Tales From the Crypt,' 'Black Mirror,' 'Twilight Zone,' or anything else like that and it'll make more sense.
