#mcu what if
Bet you didn’t see that coming
With the exception of those animated Bucky gifs I’ve seen floating around, I’m glad I decided to skip ‘What If’. I’m fine with the concept but IDK…..it’s all just so meh.
And I hate zombies. I’m reading the spoilery reviews and that’s enough for me to 'keep up’.
in the first episode of ‘what if…’ peggy carter essentially replaced steve in the “captain america, first avenger” movie. obviously it changed and all but the basic premise stayed the same. but, because peggy and bucky didn’t have the same relationship that steve and bucky did, it wouldn’t have made much sense for him to be peggys sidekick. so how they got around that, was by making steve the sidekick, which is all well and good, except that peggy and steve also were love interests. that isn’t very interesting in and of itself. however, when they all switched roles the dynamic between the hero/sidekick didn’t really change with them. and even more, a lot of scenes were very similar, if not identical to the movie, even using the same lines. but in the 'what if…’ version they were (trying) to make them more romantic. however by not changing the lines and dynamics, it feels as though the script itself is inherently romantic. the script that was written for bucky and steve. so by changing characters it seems as though the hero and sidekick were always love interests, no matter who they were. and by making these parrallels marvel (unitetionally im sure) confirmed that steve and bucky were more than friends
Ultron sees the watcher but with his theme
(Something I made)
