[DISCUSSION] [SPOILERS] What If... S02E02 - What If... Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

That was a weird group.

I especially liked Hank and the inclusion of Hope. It really helped pull everyone together.

The Bucky introduction was great, I thought we were getting the Red Guardian but Winter Soldier was a great choice. I now have to wonder if they ever work together.

I’m not sure where this season is going in terms of overarching story, but I hope we see this group again.

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw it was 1988. I turned to my wife and was like “OK, wait, so who’s around in '88? Thor and…” And Thor wasn’t even the first to show up!

Thor must be difficult to write for since he has to remain generally immature over such a long period of time. In Loki season 1 we got to see some of his Earth antics, hopefully we see more Thor (and Loki) just being “kids” on Earth. Sorta like what we saw in season 1 of what if, but more subtle.

This 1988 Thor is a little different since, (spoiler) he only shows up on Earth after the other 8 realms are already destroyed.

True, but we don’t really see that in this episode.

Also if all other 8 realms are destroyed… What about Odin? Shouldn’t Thor behave a little differently? He had a Thor 1 vibe here. Also did Peter destroy 8 realms, at least some of those vs and defeating Thor?
