A new community for anyone who wants to talk about their favourite theories regarding everything Marvel
Because this is "What if...?" not "What if something else...?
I honestly don't understand what you're saying here. My question was asking for theories as to why the enhanced characters didn't use their technology to save their own lives.
I was just making a joke. Meaning, the show is called "What If...?" and deals with a specific premise and a specific set of events. If something else happened, then that would be a different episode.
Why didn't enhanced characters save themselves? Because they didn't in that universe. Maybe they couldn't, maybe they didn't think of it, maybe they saw one opportunity to help someone else but it meant they ignored the opportunity to save themselves. Maybe there's another universe where they all saved everyone.
Oh I get it, kind of a boring theory and more of an out of universe direct explanation of the writing process
It's not a theory, it's the explanation of a joke. Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.
You said "Why did things happen one way in 'What If...?'?" and I said because it's not called "What if something else...?" That's the punch line.
Honestly, I was pretty proud of it. I thought it was clever, and also fairly self-explanatory. I had hoped someone might get a chuckle. I didn't expect anyone to take it seriously.
Indeed, if Supreme Strange was able to hold and drop those numerous powerful characters, then two shouldn't be enough to handle him. Truthfully, personally, Season 2 was quite underwhelming and lower replay value compared to S1.
