Marvel’s What If…? Episode 1 Review

 

Let’s Talk about What If..? Episode 1

Since Disney+ announced its lineup of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) programming, I’ve anticipated the day What If…? arrived.

Sure, the other stories from WandaVision, Loki and The Falcon, and the Winter Soldier advance Marvel’s Phase Four plot.

However, one program promises to take everything that we know about the MCU and turn it upside down, starting with the legacy of Steve Rogers.

Let’s talk about What If…? episode 1-1, the one where Peggy Carter takes the Super Soldier Serum.

What If…? Meet The Watcher

I wasn’t much of a comic book reader as a kid. Coincidentally, I do own a complete set of The Infinity Gauntlet, but it stinks of attic boxes. So, it’s far from mint condition.

Still, one comic book spoke to me, as I grew up as part of a close family. So, the Fantastic Four and its parental figures, Sue and Reed Richards, appealed to me.

What If…? sets the table for this by giving the narrator a bit of prologue to describe infinite realities.

The animated imagery displays broken shards of glass, each showing the face of a character whose backstory will change this season.

A Different Captain and Man of Iron

Abraham Erskine, the developer of the Super Soldier Serum, suggests that Peggy Carter stay in the booth while Steve Rogers accepts the injection.

Unlike in The First Avenger, Carter chooses to stay on the floor. This one modest decision leads to Rogers taking two bullets to save others.

With the entire project in jeopardy, Carter nobly sacrifices herself by entering the injection machine.
She comes out quite tall and muscular. Basically, she’s Power Girl, only better since it’s Marvel instead of DC.
The pencil pushers like Colonel Flynn don’t appreciate this development, but it’s not all bad news. Rogers survives and gradually recuperates.

Meanwhile, Peggy takes the initiative. Howard Stark informs her of the Tesseract. He hands her Captain Britain gear, and she’s ready for her new career in superheroism.

Around this point, the animation shows a modified version of the second scene from Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

While Peggy falls in love with her new shield, a giant German prefers fists for battle. It’s three strikes, and he’s out cold.

What If…? has fun with Peggy’s reserved British personality conflicting against her sheer pleasure at beating up Nazis.

That’s right. Steve Rogers becomes Iron Man, and an Infinity Stone charges his power.

Soon afterward, they fight together to save Bucky Barnes and members of the Howling Commandos.

If that sounds familiar, it should. On this mission, Barnes fell to his “death” and wound up as the brainwashed Winter Soldier.

In What If…?, events play out differently. The HYDRA Stomper slows down the train but discovers an unpleasant surprise when he enters it.

The train explodes, presumably leaving Rogers dead. So yes, the episode teases the possibility of Steve Rogers as the Winter Soldier!

Alas, Marvel is swerving us, as nobody in Germany wants to brainwash a skinny kid from Brooklyn. What’s the point? Maybe HYDRA could win a hot-dog eating contest?

What is going to hit the moon, how big a hole will be created, scientists are curious

What will be the impact? How big a hole will be created in the chest of the moon? Scientists have no doubt that a huge hole is going to be formed in the chest of the moon due to the impact of whatever happens. -File image. What's up with the moon in a couple of weeks? Any big asteroids? Or a huge meteorite? Or a cosmic stranger from outside the solar system? The world's astronomical circles are now aroused by this curiosity. Whatever the impact, what will be the impact? How big a hole will be created in the chest of the moon? Looking at the abyss of that hole, will you find the mineral hidden under the back of the moon in the coming days? These seventeen questions are now revolving in the field of astronomers. However, scientists have no doubt that a huge hole is going to be formed in the chest of the moon due to the impact of whatever happens. Therefore, the Indian space agency ISRO's Chandrayaan-1, which was sent into lunar orbit, has already been instructed from the Bang...

Star lights in web pictures

 This telescope has a hexagonal mirror. Each arm is the size of a coffee table. These together will create a focus. That image was taken by NASA's James Webb Telescope The first image was sent by NASA's new space telescope James Webb. It showed the light of a star 256 light years away. Not only that, he also sent his own. Her golden mirror is shining in it. James Webb was sent into space on December 25 last year. This is the first time that spacecraft will be monitored in this way from space. This is the first time a 21-foot-long telescope has been sent into space. Better said than done, it is the Observatory. The first image taken on the web shows a star in the constellation Ursa Major 256 light-years away. Name ‘HD64406’. "It's a really wonderful moment," said Marshall Perrin, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, who was involved in the mission. This telescope has a hexagonal mirror. Each arm is the size of a coffee table. These tog...
