@@Tconlon251_2 There's nothing wrong with Howard the Duck movie, it gets so much hate and it's just a regular normal 80s weirdo-fest with some humor (and oddly sexual things) that doesn't work these days like many things from back then. The over-the-top comedy, the insanely staged action (though to be fair there isn't much of the action, but still) and the music are all perfectly fine. And come on.....THE DARK OVERLORD OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!11111
Except Howard the Duck IS NOT MCU. Guy STOP confusing her she has a hard enough time realising what's MCU and what isn't already. I mean SHIT she STILL thinks Blade, X Men and Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-man are MCU.
@patrickcromwell7554 the movie it's self is not MCU, but the character is since he has been in 3 Gardians movies, What If, and was present for the battle in End Game
I love The Watchers little "AHH!" freak-out when Ultron sees him. 😂Imagine Tony Stark just looking back at you through the TV and asking, "Hey, why are you watching me?" We are the watchers.
This story arc with Ultron becoming a threat to the multiverse is closer to the Age of Ultron comic than in the film 2015. In the comic, Ultron returns and annihilates humanity. This reality is referred to as Earth-61112. The Wolverine of this reality then travels backwards in time to kill Hank Pym, the creator of Ultron, in the comics, preventing Ultron from being created. Wolverine returns to his future only to find that the Kree-Skrull War has reached Earth; Mainline timeline, Earth-616, the Avengers had prevented the war from reaching Earth. It's revealed that many things simply go wrong without Antman giving birth to Earth-26111. So Wolverine then goes back in time and stops himself from killing Antman. Logan then tells Antman to create a failsafe for Ultron, and then a few years later, on Earth-616, the Mainline Marvel Universe Ultron returns to Earth. Antman activates the failsafe this time, stopping Ultron before he can wipe out humanity. He then reveals to the other heroes that year's pier, a Wolverine, visited him from an alternate timeline to inform him about the return of Ultron. The comics What If...? stories also showcases alternate timelines of Marvel's Mainline universes. Using it's mainline characters and stories but giving us a What If...? Spin. While for the MCU these What If....? stories are alternate timelines of the MCU expanding the idea of the multiverse for the MCU.
20:21 "This is the Universe I want to live in, I want Black Widow back." Sure, Black Widow is alive, but she's also pretty much the only living thing left in the Universe, only sentient thing save Ultron and Robo Zola.
Yeah, this show is definitely "its own thing" separate from the main MCU timeline. But it helps establish the concept of the multiverse. Like, now we know that even though we lost Steve, Natasha, and Tony, there's always a chance that we might see another version of them in the future. And I'm almost certain that we will. They'll eventually say "Oh, alright, I'll take millions of dollars to play a superhero again."
I don't. Bringing RDJ back because fans want it will cheapen his actions in Endgane and destroy the concept of heroic action. If a hero gives the ultimate to stop the danger and the reaction is, " it's okay, we'll just get another." Then nothing is really a threat. On the flip side of that if they do just go to some other reality and steal Tony Stark because fan fefees are hurt what happens to the reality he's no longer in? Now if a different reality is on display, more in line with, say, an old man RDJ needs to help his reality and builds a suit for a younger hero I may be on board with that. Al long as it's not Iron Heart. Her comic run is atrocious and she is written like a villain in that. Unless Tony is tricked by into making the Iron Heart armor for the villain and must do what he can to stop her. That i would watch.
I think "What If...?" also helps the audience understand the concept of "Nexus events" better, or things that would always happen no matter the timeline, etc.
If its not on your radar, I suggest checking out "Agents of Shield", especially now that the canon/not canon debate can be settled with the multiverse! Im genuinely serious when I say that its not only my favourite Marvel content but also one of my all-time favourite serieses. I think you would like it too :)
15:31 No, It's Ultron, that was Ultron's original plan, HE was going to inhabit the body but Tony Stark put Jarvis in there instead, but in this version he didn't get to. 26:22 That's what sh....too easy.
They’re definitely breaking the comic lore rules with episode 8. The Infinity Stones only functions in its own universe and if they were brought to another parallel universe, they turn off. But the What If show-runners were like “You know what? To hell with this, let’s change this so that we can have more fun!”
Not breaking the rules - breaking the _walls._ Specifically, the walls between _universes_ - and thus preserving the *_connection_* for each set of Infinity Stones with its _Home_ Universe, thus allowing it to be functional as if it were still IN its original universe! (Think of it like running an invisible, metaphysical, metaphorical extension cord from the original universe for each Stone.) Easy peasy!
@@CaptHayfeverNot if you postulate a "Multiverse Of Multiverses" - an "Omniverse", if you will - that contains not only the MCU, but the CMU, the DCU, the DCCU, the DCAU, the MCAU, our Universe, and every other "fictional" universe. Metaphysics can get _weird,_ y'all!
@jamesnoneyabizness5611 like if each bubble of air in a cake is a multiverse, how big is the cake? Is there a limit to the cake and what's beyond the cake?!?!
@@LivingTheLifeOfRiley Well, in the Extended MCU, the "cake" is called "The Bleed" (see the "The Authority" and various other _Wildstorm_ related titles for further explanation) and your guess is as good as anyone else's. In metaphysics, the answer is: nothing, everything and something. (And before you ask "Well, which ONE of the three, you nonce?" the "answer" is" yes/all three/none of them/no one knows. See why I said metaphysics is wild? It's all questions, no answers - when you manage to get answers, it stops being metaphysics and turns into just regular physics.)
Some more fun stuff (at least stuff I loved): In Captain America: Winter Soldier, Cap was given a briefing for the mission on that boat unaware of Black Widow's side mission... while Peggy (who we know would be one of the founders of SHIELD in OUR timeline is the one GIVING the briefing and well aware of Black Widow's part of it (as doing covert stuff was what Peggy was all about before she became Captain Carter). Also... I love the Black Widow had opened up to Peggy and shared the secrets with her that in OUR universe she had only shared with Clint (Hawkeye)
What you have left before Multiverse of Madness in order, Black Widow (overdue), Eternals, Hawkeye, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Moon Knight, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Not watching Eternals is fine. Seriously, 9-10 actors, and 90 minutes.. that's 9-10 min per character.. how much character depth can you get with that?
Question, have you ever watched the actual Howard the Duck movie with Martys Mom from Back to the Future and the principal from Ferris Buellers day off
We have seen pocket dimensions before - in Goose the flerken kitty. That's what allows him to devour beings and objects larger than himself and then cough them up later like hairballs.😸
After the fun with these shows, there is a movie called Hulk Vs. It would go well with these, it's a Hulk vs Thor, and a Hulk vs. Wolverine. Thanks for the fun reaction.
23:07 is an awfully clever multilayered in-joke. First, Bernard in accounting asking after Peggy is a nod to, voice of The Watcher, Jeffrey Wright's other most well known role, Bernard Lowe in the show "Westworld". In that show, Lowe is a co-leader of an android populated theme park, whose job includes deep observation (watching) of park visitor interactions (hypothesized/executed in scenarios, much like what happens with the "What If" multiverses) with the androids (called hosts there) and exceptional work primarily with robotics, engineering, & technological advancement, all of which are mathematically inclined fields, as is Agent Bernard's field of accounting in "What If...". Second, both shows plots heavily involve artificial intelligences/androids who become self aware, philosophically questioning the status quo & eventually takes matters into their own hands (infinity gauntlet?) to a degree that affects humans & sentient life on a global scale. Third, I hesitate to explain here, as it's effectively spoilers for Bernard Lowe's background in "Westworld", however, if or when you get a chance to watch the show, it is utterly mindblowing & adds a tertiary layer to the mention of Agent Bernard here and the androids on "What If" . TL:DR. you have Agent Bernard named after another character that watches & deals with problematic A.I./androids, said agent works in a professional capacity with Peggy, romantically asking after her, where later she ends up working with The Watcher, whose actor played the namesake of the agent inquiring after Peggy, to deal with problematic A.I./androids. And that''s just one of the many great references the writers/showrunners/creators have added, they get to have so much playful fun here and I'm enjoying every splendid second, as you appear to be doing so far.
Double checked with the watch along to make sure you didn't just leave it out of the edit, but there was a post-credit scene on ep 9 that ya missed. I don't think you need to do a vid for it, but you might want to tack it on to the beginning of a season 2 when you get to it.
@@awkwardashleigh Best suggestion for all MCU movies and series: always watch *everything* to the very end, whether or not you think there's something at the end, because they're sneaky sometimes. It never hurts, and you can always edit out the waiting if it turns up empty. Several series start out with having no post-credits scenes, but then they add some later on in the run, so you can't even take that for a sure thing anymore!
"I don't wanna see a sad episode." Too bad, you're gonna do it, and you're gonna like it. Also, you have seemingly forgotten about Vision's origins, Hawkeye's wife, the Grandmaster and Arnim Zola. XD Among other things, probably. You really need to rewatch the older movies.
Because of CV, there was a 10th episode that was left out of the first season. It’s in the second season, but it kind of threw things out of order. In the long run, it didn’t really matter but it’s something to keep in mind.
What if is all hypothetical in on reality and real in another. There are a ton of them out there and even more in the comics which is why each reality has a number. Only a few rare times are there beings that need no reality number. These are beings that span the multiverse itself. These shows are to introduce you to some of these beings and how they affect the multiverse. The watchers for example are merely being meant to watch and chronicle everything. Another being is one you met in the loki series at the end. Now you are to some extent caught up and ready for the next slate of movies and shows where more beings of this type are introduced.
Ultron's status as a big bad for this season never has sat right with me, because it's been established (mainly in the comics, but also in the MCU with Loki--though contradicted with Endgame) that the infinity Stones don't work outside their own universe. In fact, there's a classic shot from one of the times DC and Marvel crossed over, in the series JLA/Avengers, where we see DC's big bad Darkseid (who's an evil god, more powerful than Superman, and who Thanos is based on) has the Infinity Gauntlet along with all the Infinity Gems. He doesn't use them, though, because they're in the DC universe at this point, and there's no power in them. And, while the Infinity Stones don't operate the same as the Infinity Gems, they're still the same concept except tweaked for the movies (but hey, at least they didn't get the downgrade that happened when the all-powerful Cosmic Cube became the tesseract). The reason this can be annoying is that every element or device needs rules set down as to how it works, rules that stay consistent, and the Infinity Stones don't really have that, despite them being part of so much by now that could have established them. Show's still fun, but that element takes me out of the ending threat. But I nitpick and most people probably don't care, so they have it better than me. As with every video of yours, I recommend the movie Imagine Me & You, as well as Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
You're the second person I've seen that has said Endgame breaks the 'Don't function in another universe' rule. I'm not seeing how. The stones they collected in Endgame were from the same MCU (idk what number they gave it) that we all know and love, just from different points in the past. The stones were then returned to the moment after they were taken to prevent the branching timeline from forming (as The Ancient One and Banner's astral form discussed). That's my take, although I'm more than willing to entertain other theories.
@@bigshow771 It's established that they went to other timelines/universes most evidently by the fact the Thanos battle happens. Killing that Thanos made sure that his timeline can't be theirs, that they can't just plunk him back where he came from and not have a branch (and even if they did, they would have still had him with a new priority to kill all life). Granted, that movie itself also contradicts this by Old Man Steve, so things are all wonky.
@@bigshow771 Basically _every single time_ something/someone time travels, it creates another universe. That's where stuff like Back to the Future play it loose for the sake of story telling.. changes made with time travel don't automatically get flattened into 1 timeline. It's also why some criticize the Old Man Steve ending because he should be in a different dimension than MCU's Earth-199999. Or perhaps the original Steve _did_ stay in the other dimension/timeline and who we're seeing at end of _Endgame_ is another universe's Steve who did similar stuff and retired in ours just as our -199999 Steve retired elsewhere.
What if is just supposed to be fun takes on alternate universes with different outcomes. That's what made the comic book so fun. So watch, enjoy, its not necessarily stories that need to be remembered for future movies.
She must've filmed this before. Because she's done Die Hard With a Vengeance already. She left a message about Austin Powers having copyright issues on her CZcams page. We'll see, I guess.
Hey Ashleigh, nice reaction. Always fun seeing Howard The Duck, his own film back in 1986 was a flop. Guardians of the Universe indeed. Can't wait for Multiverse of Madness. Btw, UltroVision was a fantastic nemesis. The Multiverse is awesome, I just started reading a Marvel graphic novel involving the Thunderbolts: America Chavez, Gutsen Glory, Hawkeye, Power Man, Spectrum, and Persuasion. Monica Rambeau is also involved along with Abomination, Taskmaster, and Luke Cage, who became mayor after the Kingpin Wilson Fisk. There are two venom films as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special.
That thing in Sydney is the Sydney Opera House. It's supposed to look like the sails of a ship. The architect who designed it was insulted and abused for his design, and had trouble getting paid for his work. Later he was awarded for the genius of the design
FYI, this first season of "What If...?" was going to be 10 episodes long, but it still suffered from the effects of the pandemic and it got set to 9 episodes. Gamora came from that 10th episode that became part of Season 2; that is why there is no "context" as to where she came from and why she got selected to be in The Watcher's Guardians. On another note, are you watching Marvel's Eternals (movie) next, then Hawkeye (series)? 🙏
The building behind Thor and his "study group" is called the Dumo, largest self supporting brick dome in the world built in the 1500s in Florence Italy

In age of Ultron, Vision's body was created by Ultron to be his perfect body. The Avengers took that body and put Jarvis in it, creating The Vision.
And Vision is not a kill first, ask questions later, kind of guy. Ultron is "capable" of taking actions that Vision would never consider.
That's an OVER simplification of what actually happened, but not entirely incorrect; only somewhat.
@@patrickcromwell7554 It's OVER-simplified because a simple girl needs to understand it.

Double checked with the watch along to make sure you didn't just leave it out of the edit, but there was a post-credit scene on ep 9 that ya missed. I don't think you need to do a vid for it, but you might want to tack it on to the beginning of a season 2 when you get to it.
UGH I HATE I WHEN I DO THIS
@@awkwardashleigh Best suggestion for all MCU movies and series: always watch *everything* to the very end, whether or not you think there's something at the end, because they're sneaky sometimes. It never hurts, and you can always edit out the waiting if it turns up empty. Several series start out with having no post-credits scenes, but then they add some later on in the run, so you can't even take that for a sure thing anymore!
@@awkwardashleigh and make sure tissues are available; MCU is great with backstory, and Disney knows how to pull heartstrings.
"I don't wanna see a sad episode." Too bad, you're gonna do it, and you're gonna like it.
Also, you have seemingly forgotten about Vision's origins, Hawkeye's wife, the Grandmaster and Arnim Zola. XD Among other things, probably. You really need to rewatch the older movies.
When you party with the Party Prince you get two complimentary after dinner mints.
Did you ever party so much that you exploded a planet? No but I drank myself sober once.
Because of CV, there was a 10th episode that was left out of the first season. It’s in the second season, but it kind of threw things out of order. In the long run, it didn’t really matter but it’s something to keep in mind.
What if is all hypothetical in on reality and real in another. There are a ton of them out there and even more in the comics which is why each reality has a number. Only a few rare times are there beings that need no reality number. These are beings that span the multiverse itself. These shows are to introduce you to some of these beings and how they affect the multiverse. The watchers for example are merely being meant to watch and chronicle everything. Another being is one you met in the loki series at the end. Now you are to some extent caught up and ready for the next slate of movies and shows where more beings of this type are introduced.
Ultron's status as a big bad for this season never has sat right with me, because it's been established (mainly in the comics, but also in the MCU with Loki--though contradicted with Endgame) that the infinity Stones don't work outside their own universe. In fact, there's a classic shot from one of the times DC and Marvel crossed over, in the series JLA/Avengers, where we see DC's big bad Darkseid (who's an evil god, more powerful than Superman, and who Thanos is based on) has the Infinity Gauntlet along with all the Infinity Gems. He doesn't use them, though, because they're in the DC universe at this point, and there's no power in them. And, while the Infinity Stones don't operate the same as the Infinity Gems, they're still the same concept except tweaked for the movies (but hey, at least they didn't get the downgrade that happened when the all-powerful Cosmic Cube became the tesseract). The reason this can be annoying is that every element or device needs rules set down as to how it works, rules that stay consistent, and the Infinity Stones don't really have that, despite them being part of so much by now that could have established them. Show's still fun, but that element takes me out of the ending threat. But I nitpick and most people probably don't care, so they have it better than me.
As with every video of yours, I recommend the movie Imagine Me & You, as well as Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
You're the second person I've seen that has said Endgame breaks the 'Don't function in another universe' rule. I'm not seeing how. The stones they collected in Endgame were from the same MCU (idk what number they gave it) that we all know and love, just from different points in the past. The stones were then returned to the moment after they were taken to prevent the branching timeline from forming (as The Ancient One and Banner's astral form discussed). That's my take, although I'm more than willing to entertain other theories.
@@bigshow771 It's established that they went to other timelines/universes most evidently by the fact the Thanos battle happens. Killing that Thanos made sure that his timeline can't be theirs, that they can't just plunk him back where he came from and not have a branch (and even if they did, they would have still had him with a new priority to kill all life). Granted, that movie itself also contradicts this by Old Man Steve, so things are all wonky.
@@bigshow771 Basically _every single time_ something/someone time travels, it creates another universe. That's where stuff like Back to the Future play it loose for the sake of story telling.. changes made with time travel don't automatically get flattened into 1 timeline. It's also why some criticize the Old Man Steve ending because he should be in a different dimension than MCU's Earth-199999. Or perhaps the original Steve _did_ stay in the other dimension/timeline and who we're seeing at end of _Endgame_ is another universe's Steve who did similar stuff and retired in ours just as our -199999 Steve retired elsewhere.
"What If?" Is the story of The Watcher.
"The door was more of a metaphor anyway."
What door?
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
Tom Hiddleston's Loki voice is a-ma-zing!!!
8:01 OMG. Gary The Goat.
That was defo Hemsworth's addition.
(it's an Aussie thing)
The speed of the hammer is more in light years per minute than in miles per hour
What if is just supposed to be fun takes on alternate universes with different outcomes. That's what made the comic book so fun. So watch, enjoy, its not necessarily stories that need to be remembered for future movies.
Wait, rounding out the trilogy with Goldmember? We haven't seen The Spy Who Shagged Me yet, have we?
She must've filmed this before. Because she's done Die Hard With a Vengeance already. She left a message about Austin Powers having copyright issues on her CZcams page. We'll see, I guess.
That outfit is great on you, looking good girl!
Looking fly Ashley!
Hey Ashleigh, nice reaction. Always fun seeing Howard The Duck, his own film back in 1986 was a flop. Guardians of the Universe indeed. Can't wait for Multiverse of Madness. Btw, UltroVision was a fantastic nemesis. The Multiverse is awesome, I just started reading a Marvel graphic novel involving the Thunderbolts: America Chavez, Gutsen Glory, Hawkeye, Power Man, Spectrum, and Persuasion. Monica Rambeau is also involved along with Abomination, Taskmaster, and Luke Cage, who became mayor after the Kingpin Wilson Fisk. There are two venom films as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special.
That thing in Sydney is the Sydney Opera House. It's supposed to look like the sails of a ship.
The architect who designed it was insulted and abused for his design, and had trouble getting paid for his work. Later he was awarded for the genius of the design
She's going to be so let down when she finds out that Multiverse of Madness isn't what she thinks it is...
Ashleigh, how can you be rounding out the Austin Power's trilogy with Goldmember, if you haven't done The Spy Who Shagged Me yet?
I’m pretty sure TSWSM is in Copyright limbo and it was supposed to come out before this video
Mr and Mrs. Duck! :)
FYI, this first season of "What If...?" was going to be 10 episodes long, but it still suffered from the effects of the pandemic and it got set to 9 episodes. Gamora came from that 10th episode that became part of Season 2; that is why there is no "context" as to where she came from and why she got selected to be in The Watcher's Guardians. On another note, are you watching Marvel's Eternals (movie) next, then Hawkeye (series)? 🙏
Loki is not an Asgardian,he is a Frost Giant.
You always do but DAYUM you're looking good today! 😍 So pretty!
Looking gorgeous Asheilgh ❤
Ashleigh Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Hair is on point today, gurl. ❤
Seeing how you loved this, I think you would love The Legend of Vox Machina. Short animated series.
13:30 hey! _This_ Black Widow _lives!_
The building behind Thor and his "study group" is called the Dumo, largest self supporting brick dome in the world built in the 1500s in Florence Italy
even in teh main universe ultron created visions body for himself as ultimate weapons body but he not managed to get it and jarvis was put into it
"Whose shield is that?" That is the Red Guardian's shield, the Soviet answer to Captain America.
Maybe you already know this, I couldn’t be sure from your reaction, but Viva Las Vegas is the title of an old Elvis Presley movie musical & he sings the title song. 😊
