Yup .. If there's another episode, between Bucky having the shield & seeing him survive the fall through the trees in TF&TWS, I'm thinking he'll be back.

Man, that was a great episode! My only complaint is that I would've liked it to be a full hour.

Mid-season trailer dropped yesterday. Looks like we'll be getting more of some of these stories!

It did the same for me. I lost my first wife (not to an accident -- she's not dead, but the woman I knew and loved does not seem to exist anymore, just the same), and it hit me and has haunted me for more than 20 years in much the same way as if she had died. I was so in love with her and trusted her so completely, and was so blindsided and shattered when things very suddenly went south that it was like I woke up in the Twilight Zone and have never escaped. It still feels like things are just wrong on some deep level. There hasn't been so much as a single day of the last 21 years where I haven't thought of her, missed her, and mourned her, and wondered if I could have changed things if I'd had any inkling of what was coming. I have a good life now -- married to a woman I genuinely love, with two boys I adore -- and I'd like to believe that if I had access to the Eye of Agamotto, I would resist the temptation to use it as Strange did in this episode. But if I'm honest, I cannot say with certainty that I would.

Haha I think I'm missing something because I've hated most of these so far!
They have progressively got worse each episode. The Killmonger one being just terrible. Both that and the Marvel Zombies one ending without a proper conclusion. It's like they think up the concept (which in the case of the Zombies one, is just taken straight from the comics anyway) and don't have a clue how to finish the story. It's such lazy writing.
The Killmonger episode was just so so odd. Eric is presented as this awesome super genius, who has predicted every conceivable movement and choice of every character like some omnipotent god, and the rest of the cast are utterly stupid, naive and dumbed down. The cast differences are also jarring.
The What If.. comics have always been hit or miss but at the moment most of these feel like fan service - the cartoon equivalent of RedLetterMedia's "I SAW SOMETHING I RECOGNIZED SO I CLAPPED!"
On the positive side though the animation is superb and the art direction is really top notch
More power to everyone who is enjoying them, but they are just not doing it for me, sorry!

I'm kind of with you. It seems like other than the first episode or two, they're just trying to find radical ways to kill off main characters, thinking it's edgy and shocking.

If you guys watch the mid season teaser I posted before, we get glimpses of what are obviously continuations of some of these stories.
This episode was... fun.
My first reaction was that I didn't really like it, but the more I think about it, it wasn't BAD at all. It just wasn't what I was in the mood for.
I loved having almost ALL the actors back, & the story was again, fun, but I guess I was expecting the darker progression to continue.
I've watched every episode multiple times, but this one might be a one & done for me, but again, it may just be my mood. I went over & watched a couple episodes of STAR WARS: VISIONS, & that set me right as rain.

Ok, outside of the Zombies ep...this was the absolute funniest.
Marvel calling Thor "Whitesnake" alone...
Also, Dennings, Hemsworth and Hiddleston need to keep voice acting, they're fantastic at it.

This was the most fun episode for certain. Hemsworth, Hiddles, and Dennings were having WAY too much fun here.

Betting they are going to wrap them all up in the finale.

Well, I got no idea how this is going to be resolved, but I'm here for it!
This is a threat level (midnight lol) that I hope they somehow cap by the end of this season, as in, they clearly explain why this couldn't happen again in the MCU.
Really wish I'd have held off until next week & just watched the last 2 episodes together. Can't wait!

Wow!
Episode 8 was big. I can't wait to see how they resolve this two-parter.

Looks like The Watcher will be assembling a team to go after Ultron from all of the previous dimensions.
... & the 'Kirby-esqe' lines on Tony's armor?Notice the "Kirby dots" in the energy blasts?
Evidently, the missing episode from this season would've seen Tony end up on Saka'ar, where he'd repair his armor with the tech he finds there. That's where he'd team up with Gamora, leading to the scene we saw in the finale.

Bummed we didn’t get a Spider-Man episode.
