FilthyImp posted:Dr. Strange's ep really, truly hosed one reality and left Strange Supreme holed up in the M'krann Crystal. Zombies! technically can affect the Multiverse with the infinity gauntlet. I think the MCU is going with the idea that the Infinity Stones can't affect other realities outside their own, so Zombie Thanos probably can't gently caress up another reality. That said, I do wonder how Thanos even got zombiefied given he's apparently superhumanely strong on a level comparable (or even superior) to the Hulk, even without the stones. Like, how did anyone even manage to bite him with enough force to penetrate his skin? And how did he not just blast the entire sea of zombies surrounding him to dust with the stones once he realized what was going on? Also, according to director comments the idea isn't that Hulk is scared of Thanos, it's that he's annoyed at how Banner only calls him out when he's in trouble and basically has no life/agency of his own; something that became especially apparent to him after a year or more on Sakaar as Hulk. It definitely wasn't well communicated though, if that was the idea. tsob fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Sep 8, 2021 |

I don't think that it was setting up zombie Thanos to be the problem, but more cured Thanos is gonna instantly know where the mindstone is and no one is left to protect it except for Peter and the Wakandan army. So the Universe is hosed, but as a brightside, Earth probably improves a lot!

Well, people all come back with their injuries intact, so Thanos might simply get cured and then immediately bleed to death from all the chunks of his body that are missing. That was a good episode! Nothing too stand out but more Bucky is always great stuff. The only issue is, like, the Whedonistic quips happening at every single death, I couldn’t shake the feeling that literally no one was taking this seriously… But Bucky still making GBS threads on Sam even into Death was awesome.

tsob posted:[Latest What If? Episode spoilers] In Thanos' case, it is probably just a case of progressively stronger people becoming infected until one of them is strong enough to penetrate his skin. Like, if one of the Black Order succumbed, they could probably inflict a wound that could turn Thanos. I'm more confused by Iron Man, since he's shown getting jumped by normal people even though he was wearing his nanotech suit - which can withstand a moon getting dropped on it. I understand they want to focus the story on different characters each episode and don't want Tony hogging the limelight, but that was some real bullshit. E: Also, the best part of the episode was when the Wacther said "Oof". It was so nonchalant that I had to rewind to make sure I hadn't imagined it.

Hulk getting chumped by Thanos and never getting to truly redeem himself is probably the single greatest flaw in the MCU. I understand it’s meant to serve a role, to establish Thanos as this powerful entity, but once you’ve set up “you h this guy can beat the hulk in a 1v1 no sweat” it just means that I absolutely do not feel any tension from any encounter because of course Thanos can win, and essentially that is what happens, everyone gets owned and dies until Captain Marvel shows up and Deus Ex Machina’s the entire thing. Also this is dumb but this thread is way off about RLM. They really enjoy most of what marvel has to offer and you folks act like they are blatantly misogynistic or racist in their reviews of Marvel and Panther but that’s absolutely not the case, I went in expecting the worst and they approach it with the same evenhanded critique they approach everything.

Don't make me go full Andy Rooney on how we're apparently starting Halloween on September 1st, now. Also, has anybody every pointed out that the Green Goblin, Spider-Man's most iconic foe, is basically a Halloween themed villain? I know he's supposed to be 'our' Joker...but he throws loving pumpkin bombs. I loving love it.

I disagree. Hulk absolutely got to redeem himself against Thanos. Since the first Avengers movie, there was this idea that Banner was cursed with being the Hulk for a reason... but why? So he goes through the different movies trying to be Banner for the sake of using his genius or because he wants to repress his other self and just be human. Hulk only shows up to ruin Banner's day or to be Banner's weapon. Then he meets Thanos and we see that even Hulk has a limit. He's up against someone physically on his level by default, smarter, more experienced and with an artifact that multiplies his strength to a ridiculous degree. The easy win button has met his match. Banner merges himself to become what fate created him for. We get a nigh-invincible gamma monster with the brain of one of the world's smartest men. His destiny is to undo Thanos' life's work and do it competently. The version of Thanos that kicked his rear end didn't live long enough to see that, but the other one got to spend his final moments stewing in failure. Anyway, in terms of follow-up to this week's episode, it's simpler than it looks. If they can get that Gauntlet off Thanos, they could just wish the whole outbreak away like that. Sounds hard, but luckily there's a god who's on his way with an overpowered axe and an obsession with using it on Thanos.

After all the talk of Spider-Man dying violently in What-Ifs, I thought he was going to let go of the slingshot but not be able to get out of the way of the train in time.4000 Dollar Suit posted:I usually don't skip episodes of shows unless they're a clip episode or occasionally a musical ep, but as soon as I got to the how to survive a zombie apocalypse part I reached the maximum level of I'm out. I mean, the goofiness of the video was because it was put together by Peter Parker. It felt in very tone with the Favreau movies, but you might still enjoy the rest of the episode after that.

As someone who was pretty harsh on the first 2 what if episodes I gotta say the recent run of episodes has really redeemed the show. I do still think they could stand to be a bit longer, but 3, 4, and 5 were great! Michael Douglas actually killed it in the VO department which helped elevate #3 and the Dr Strange episode was just super solid, a nice little self contained story with an incredibly dark ending.

Community had a musical episode that I really liked. Also, Scrubs is a good show, definitely above average. Its the most accurate show, not just in the sense of medical practice, but in depicting daily life in a hospital. The last season was bad, but it was also a very accurate depiction of medical school.

It was very embarrassing that in a season of TV where The Flash was touting that it would be doing a musical, it was Once Upon A Time of all the stupid shows that had to step up and tell them "this is how you do a loving musical episode of TV". Show was bad but that ep was good. Of course, The Magicians had a single song that year and even that was better than the Flash musical.
