I love any kind of reimagining so this was right up my alley. What if Peggy Carter got the serum instead of Steve. My kids watched with me, and my favorite part was my 4yo DD telling me "she's a strong good guy!" And also "A shield is not a plan, Carter!!" made me laugh. I liked the framing too. Having the Watcher be the one to tell the story made sense, and clearly pointing out which decision (Peggy choosing to stay in the room instead of going in the booth) was the one to create another universe was a good move.

We finally had time to watch it last night. We enjoyed it. H didn't like that it got sad and that Steve and Peggy still didn't 9their dance.
Them getting Zola so early on really changed things too

I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would, mostly because I enjoy very few animation shows. I also don’t really like Peggy at all lol. But I liked it anyway! I look forward to seeing how they approach other superhero timelines.

Loved episode 2. T'challa makes an awesome Starlord. H mentioned that the universe seems to be better off there. Of course, I feel bad for T'chaka and the other Wakandans. I'd like to know what happened to let the Collector end up with all those weapons though.
And the end with Ego and Quill. That's not going to go well.

Episode 2 was awesome. Writing was top notch, I thought the banter was great especially at the bar. Dedicated to Chadwick boseman ❤️ I was especially 🥺 when drax sent the selfie to his wife and daughter. Thanos never killed them. And telling T’challa he looked bad in the photo was so on character lol. Which is another thing I’m really liking about the series, everyone is still so in character even in different positions.

I really enjoyed the 2nd episode. I love T’Challa as starlord. I wonder if having Caps shield meant he killed some of the avengers.

Also interesting that Gamora wasn’t involved but Nebula was.

Also interesting that Gamora wasn’t involved but Nebula was. H thinks it means that he changed his ways before he took Gamora, and that Nebula is older. So I guess T'challa convinced him genocide wasn't the answer while he was still a child? IDK. There are some things that don't match up timeline-wise from the "small change" in both episodes. Like in the first one, Red Skull finds the Tesseract later. In the movie, he finds it a full year before Project Rebirth, but in the episode, he finds it after.

H also wants to know how he got Mjilnor, because he most definitely is not worthy. I'm wondering if Cap's shield means that he found Steve before SHIELD does.

The last couple of episodes have been kind of depressing. We just watched Episode 4, and I was really rooting for Good Strange. But I did wonder if the tentacle monster was the same one from Episode 1. I looked pretty similar.

But I did wonder if the tentacle monster was the same one from Episode 1. I looked pretty similar. I was just thinking how depressing the last episode was. Good, but depressing. I also think it’s the same monster - it would make sense because in both episodes they were essentially summoned from another universe/dimension.

Strange saying "I just want you" broke my fucking heart. I just watched the episodes last night and I'm enjoying them. I wasn't sure if I'd watch because I'm not a huge animation fan, but I'm glad I did. I don't think that the Asgardian army Loki brought with him would have helped overthrow Earth though. IDK, the Asgardians are a very warlike people. and they'd be avenging their beloved crown prince.

Watched the Zombie episode this morning. H and I agree that they are getting more and more depressing. We want another one where the whole world doesn't die.

I stopped watching after the first two because they all sounded so flipping depressing. Did not sign up to watch Cap be murdered or become a zombie. Bummer because the first two were such fun.

The second was definitely my favorite so far. I didn't expect the Zombie one to be happy go lucky, but I'd appreciate if maybe a little levity comes back next week. i'm going to watch regardless.

I’m keeping an eye on it. If it comes full circle and turns back to happy or super cool by the end, I’ll go back and watch it from the start!

I'm still watching and enjoying but yeah, oof. I would like some happy ones. Like, maybe don't show us that Zombie Thanos has taken over Wakanda. Leave a little mystery and hope in the world.

They also could have left out Ego meeting Peter. I am of the belief that Peter Quill who did not become Starlord, is not going to be able to channel the power that Ego needs, and he'll become another failed child. Not good for Quill, but good for the universe. But I agree.

I did think the zombie episode was an interesting parallel to what Wanda does in WandaVision. The two of them just do not have healthy coping mechanisms. For real. At least Wanda's was unintentional. Not that she didn't maintain it for far too long.

I enjoyed the zombie episode. I liked that Okoye was in it since Danai was the most badass character in TWD of course.
I agree it was still dark but I liked that there was humor as well. Paul Rudd and Tom Holland stole the show for humor purposes. Also can you imagine zombie Wanda after accessing all her powers? We only caught a glimpse but damn she’d be almost impossible to defeat.

Also I assume the Paul Rudd head was a nod to Santa Clarita Diet, yes? Because the Nathan Fillon head in that show was the best.
I should rewatch it actually. I got so many legit belly laughs from it.

I’m kind of laughing that the zombie episode was the least dark episodes we’ve seen in a bit.

I love the idea of a Shuri/ Pepper team up. That would be epic. Also, this one didn't end with as depressing a point as the previous ones.

I finally caught up. I didn’t watch the zombie one though, I can’t do zombies. The dr strange one was super intense. Like talk about a multiverse of madness. I thought the last one with killmonger was pretty plausible. He was such a good manipulator. He even had T’Chaka fooled. I liked the ending to that one, leaves it nice and open.

Much more fun episode this week. I wonder how Loki became that tall vs his normal size. Maybe it's an environmental thing? Darcy's divorce is going to be interesting... I'm also laughing at the "party atmosphere spreading".
And I loved the Grand Master.
I do wonder what the Vision showing up will affect. Like he's Ultron/the Vision so does he have Ultron's motivations? Or is it something different?
