That was an enjoyable enough throwaway What If, I think this, the murder mystery one and the zombie ones have been my favourite so far. Feels like the real change here was Maria and Carol were low on patience for drunken antics though, Captain Marvel just full on punching someone hard enough to send a powered up Thor flying when she doesn't know how powerful/resilient he is seems like a bit of a jerk move. If he wasn't invulnerable to that degree he would have been kersplatted instantly presumably.

Frigga mentioned knowing who she was, so it's likely that Carol knew about Asgardians and what kind of punishment they could take. The weirdest thing to me was that she couldn't lift the hammer when Thor set it on her, since in this timeline it would never have gotten Odin's enchantment. If she can no-sell Thor's lightning, presumably she'd be strong enough to lift an Asgardian weapon, even if it is normally just really heavy.

This is just speculation. Maybe being worthy in this timeline means not being a party pooper.

Until proven otherwise I'm going to pretend he became worthy by joining on with Odin's attempts at brokering peace with the Ice Giants, by partying.

Big lol that he still sucks at hitting on people/dating and only ends looking like a big sleazy dumbass. Also, I loved that one way or another Thor and him are gonna be always brothers, that was a sweet detail.

It's always interesting which actors voice their characters themselves. Apparently they could get Natalie Portman, but not Brie Larson.

Maybe Larson wasn't down with Carol's characterisation as Captain Partypooper. I mean, I get why it works for this episode and she works as the straight man to Party Thor, but given some of the criticisms she was getting for being too flat in her performance in Captain Marvel & Endgame, maybe this wasn't her cup of tea.

Hopefully she might be willing to reprise her role in other episodes.

She wasn't in the murder mystery episode either, so probably not this season but maybe season 2.

Could just be something similar to what happened to Batista, where Marvel reached out to her agent or something and they declined it on her behalf without asking her.

The Marvels really has its work cut out for it with Carol because so far all she's been is a cheat code space cop. They should start by admitting that Maria was her partner.

Also yeah they should just admit Maria was her partner.

The spoiler didn't say what it was for. That's the problem. The wrong thing was spoilers. I assumed it was discussing an earlier episode of What if.

This is a thread about Marvel TV shows. Reading an unlabeled spoiler for a movie I can't see because I'm around high risk family members too young to get vaccinated sucks. Ultimately, it is my fault for clicking the spoiler tag. I just absent-mindedly assumed it was going to be about the new What If.

Honestly, all of this. The only reason I haven't gone out anywhere non-important is because of my nephew, a 10 year old autistic boy, who struggles to communicate if he feels ill or what hurts. I also realized what was about without clicking the tag, I put two and two together really fast and I hate my brain for it.

Very fun episode.

Cap Marvel is on screen for like 10 seconds before dipping out. Thats it, she is literally there and says I have to go. Thats it, no major spoiler or anything.

Yeah pretty much. Honestly you could tell someone the whole plot of Shang Chi and it wouldn’t detract from the movie. It’s that good and that non-reliant on the plot because it’s reaaaalll obvious what’s going to happen from minute 1.

One of those “it’s about the journey” stories.

It's all Marvel. It's not reasonable to expect people to use spoilers for a film when we're unspoiling MCU TV that aired after. And casting isn't a spoiler.
