Spoilers for both seasons of What If ahead.

spoilerWhat If is riddled with plot holes, from Thanos acquiring the soul stone without sacrificing Gamora to Captain Carter being able to wield all six stones in one hand without the Infinity Armor.

The plot hole I'm going addressing is Supreme Strange simply dropping all the heros and villains into the forge, even though the majority of them are capable of flight, and some of them are even capable of teleportation. So why are they all simply throwing their life saving tech and legendary weapons to Captain Carter instead of using them on themselves?

MCU's newest retcons (self.marveltheories)

I have a very strong feeling that the Netflix shows being added to the MCU was a last minute change of decision to accommodate a pivoted Daredevil restructuring. It seems pretty clear that the Netflix shows have been folded into the MCU continuity but I believe Marvel was planning to show the characters as Variants of the Netflix universe, but changed their minds only a few weeks before Echo's release.

There's gonna be some spoilers ahead for the newest show Echo.

spoilerDoes anyone wonder why Fisk's hammer was different, or why his memory of his anger reaching the breaking point was also different? Combine those examples with how they used the Netflix scenes in one of the trailers and I can't help but wonder why the show wouldn't make the effort to get these details right.

I'm sure we will never have a definitive answer on these behind the scenes decisions, but it seems fairly obvious to me that Marvel decided to fold Netflix into the main continuity as an effort to salvage a last minute pivoted Daredevil show.

What do you think?

My favourite old theory was the T.H.A.N.O.S. theory where each letter was the starting letter of where each stone was hidden in the MCU.

T. Tesseract

H. Heimdel

A. Aether

N. Necklace

O. Orb

S. Scepter

Of course this theory was officially debunked but back in the day people had a lot of fun theorizing how to make the acronym fit.
