Fun Fact: Djimon Hounsu voiced Black Panther in the animated motion comics during 2006. Seeing and hearing him together with Chadwick Boseman was an awesome moment in the Black Panther legacy.
Fun detail missed: When Thanos screams after being hit in the leg, it’s the reused scream of him from infinity war when they put him to sleep to get the gauntlet off!
I like how this version of the Collector is absolutely jacked, and very willing to throw hands, while still maintaining that endearing personality we all fell in love with Guardians of the Galaxy
I love how the Collector’s former prisoners closing in on him mirrors the Grandmaster’s former gladiators closing in on him in the Ragnarok post-credits scene.
The second i finished the episode i went straight to TH-cam for your analysis it’s not a necessity but it makes me appreciate the shows and movies i watch 10 times more when i watch y’all’s videos
Im mad a lil that they made Thanos so weak, Helas horns so weak and the fact that Thanos is way toooo nice and easy to change his mind like not even the galaxy and in the comics not EVEN THE UNIVERSE AND THE MULTIVERSE LAWS could change him also the fact that he was gettung beaten by the black order or that they didnt have dialouge like “You Used to be a god!”- proxima
You didn't mention how the dog that was in The Collector's collection clearly loved Thanos at the party at the end. Maybe referencing the old belief that dogs can tell if you're a bad person. Meaning Thanos is completely reformed.
I loved how they referenced Nelson Mandela in this episode. As a South African I couldn't be more proud. First of all, Madiba not only speaks isiXhosa which is the official language of Wakanda, but IsiXhosa is one of eleven official languages of South Africa. Also, John Kani, who voices T'Chaka (T'Challa's father) is also one of our national treasures in South Africa when it comes to arts and culture, film and literature and a pride of the Eastern Cape, a province here in South Africa which majority of the people are Xhosa. I don't know how this ties with Ronan, but in The Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 1, the Accuser holds up his hammer with the power stone as he stares at the people of Xander and says, "people of Xander, your salvation is at hand. . . ISANDLA". Isandla is a Xhosa word for hand. It's a little Easter Egg so many people overlooked in that movie.
@@joey-if7zq I think it was created for the movies as each symbol represents the alphabet we know so its a one for one translation if that makes sense.
I like that this episode simultaneously gave us "the infinity saga never happened/ no blip" and The universe was gonna end anyway coz of Ego. That's a lot of implications from a 30 minute episode xD
I think my jaw hit the floor when Thanos was shown to be a ravager and to see how Nebula changed. I liked it. The dedication at the end of the episode made me tear up.
@@dontlookatthis I thought the same thing, but my friend reminded me that this Thanos was like probably a decade out of practice. Not as ruthless as he was. But I think he should have punched a bit harder.
@@BingBangPoe Idk about all that. They could've kept Thanos's power level consistent, and like he gets barraged by the entire army, kind of like how Hulk gets shot by the entire army of Chitauri in the first Avengers. Then, Nebula comes to save him. Kinda ridiculous that ONLY two of the "Children of Thanos" can kick his ass.
the ship being named the “mandela” works the level of this being a story that we don’t remember as the watcher puts it. so it plays into the whole “mandela effect” thing as well
Loved the ending. Everything was too good to be true and happy that when Ego showed up to Peter I was like “oh crap, he needed to be Star Lord to stop Ego”.
The fact that he is making Thanos look like a Chitari is weird and amazing but funny how Thanos was still at Hulks level even when he was weakened and lost his mojo
Same here bud, lost my father to cancer and beat it my self (with major life changes results) sad to see Chadwick go down fighting but fighting non the less.. he was truly a hero
Ego would just go through with his plan of enveloping all planets he planted himself on and assimilating the universe. And since you don't have Peter to fight him, almost no one can fight him and hope to win (except with infinity stones)
Yeah. And he could have probably challenge either the Avengers or The Grandmaster to a duel similar to his fights as an Elder of the Universe in the comics.
He was still a little down played in this episode as well, I mean he used three weapons in the beginning and went the rest of the fight with just his bare fists, is he was smart he would use the rest of his giant arsenal
You missed the detail where everyone is laughing about punching skrulls, but taser face stops halfway through his laugh, perhaps hinting that he is a skrull...
I loved seeing Thanos in this episode plus Nebula as an actual flesh alien Makes me hope we can see Thanos again in Eternals 😁….. even better Rama tut there too as a Kang variant which would make the film super exciting as both are in it
I thought the seeds in the mouth was a reference to Jack the Giant slayers, where Jack throws the magic beans down the throat of the two headed giant and had a HUGE bean stalk sprout from inside him
@@kindplanet1 I honestly would understand this not getting a lot of likes as a comment, seeing as that reference is a bit of a long shot, but if you look at the POV the whole way through its basically all the same except in What if we didnt see the disgusting anatomy like we did in Jack the giant slayer where the bean travels down to the stomach and we can actually see that happening.
I just liked it that Thanos' scream when he was stabbed by Proxima Midnight is the same tone being controlled by Mantis during titan fight in Infinity war.
Missed something: while using Hela's headpiece, the Collector calls the weapon it created a Necrosword - that's the name of All-Black, the first symbiote made by the evil god Knull, also used by Gorr the God Butcher, who's going to be an enemy in "Thor: Love & Thunder"
@@ishyhq It's funny that with Thanos out of the way instead Ego sets off his master plan and still kills trillions of people before eventually being defeated, this time not so easily reversable though.
16:48 I think it’s a reference to infinity war, when Quill said “for the record this was my plan” when trying to take the gauntlet from Thanos, Tony’s plan was to drop a tiny meteor on Thanos when he’s talking to Strange. Quill improvised sticky fingers where he learnt from Yondu, hence the GOTG theme. Probably a reach though 🤷♂️
13:26 This painting, which hangs in the hallway in Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout at Disney's California Adventure, is my absolute FAVORITE piece of MCU lore. Family games nights must have been VERY interesting at their house lol. I was really worried that this episode would tarnish the aspects of T'Challa's character that I love. Instead, it really showed how he could be a force for good no matter where he was or who he was with. Absolutely loved it. RIP to the King.
16:00 I haven't seen anyone else yet, besides me, pointing out that Miek's arm is on the far right of the weapon case. If he had Korg's arm, then logically he could have Miek's as well.
The collector might have a knowledge of the multiverse, that would explain how he obtained the items in his collection since some items was not available.
With this being a different universe, isn’t it possible that all of these items have a different history than what we’re used to? Like maybe Cap was thawed out in the 90s in this universe. Maybe Hela was defeated earlier too. The change here was an alien abduction in 1988, so everything afterwards could have led to all the ships and weapons being available for the collector.
I have to say, I'm impressed with What If, so far. I love that so many of the actors are voicing their animates selves. The art style is beautiful and really well done. Looking forward to future episodes.
“Embers of Genesis” seems to be a callback to Star Trek ll: The Wrath of Khan, where “Project Genesis” was developed to terraform a dead planet to one full of life.
Correction: In Morag Coordination one number is missing "2" Guardian Of the Galaxy was: +4129236 What IF: +412936 Maybe mistake or it was intentional cause it placed on different universe.
Last episode was pretty good, but this one blew me away. Thanos got me also. Didn’t see that one coming. They didn’t explain gamora’a story that much tho?
13:37 Actually no that is not the quantum realm machine hank used in the quantum realm. It’s actually the pod Rocket, Thor, and Groot used in Infinity War
The abilities of the embers of genesis reminded me a lot of Ex Nihilo. He’s a Gardener who basically possesses the same powers. They might be connected somehow, I don’t know.
I’m surprised how many people thought he was “good” now. He is definitely in the “keep your enemies closer” bucket to be honest… 😳 T’Challah is amassing so much good will and respect, it can easily become a liability if things are done in his name by someone regarded as a lieutenant. I’m sure this is a known risk for T’Challah.
Erick can we PLEASEEE get a "classic star lord" "cha-cha" shirt with Chadwick in the middle with his Star Lord outfit🤔🤔🤔 that would be 🗣️ AWESOME SAUCE 😎💪🏻
The name of the ship could also be a reference to the Mandela effect where a group of people remembers events in history that never happened or happened differently some people theorizing that it’s looking into alternate reality… just like this what if series
Love that they got Kurt Russell back as Ego, hopefully we get him in more episodes! And maybe a What If John Walker was Ego's son given Wyatt Russell is Walker and we'd get a nice actual father and son reunion :D
Maybe the Collector got all of those future artifacts through time-travel! If he stumble into some kind of time-travel situation on accident, he could’ve gotten the quantum realm pod and used it to time-travel!
The part where Okoye said, "that sounds an awful lot like a genocide" really reminded me of the, "that sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship" from Star Wars Attack of The Clones.
It's Xhosa, not Xhosi. Also the language is isiXhosa. Please forgive me, I only have so much room in my brain and sometimes it squeezes out letters.
Don't feel bad people in our country still say it incorrectly. Lol.yes I am South African .
I spotted Meek's arm on the far right of the collectors weapon stash, just saying

I was about to comment about that, thanks for saving me time 😂
You still used up time to comment this 😂
When first hearing the scream I thought of Infinity war, but didn’t think they’d reuse a scream lol. Thanks for being my back up
Another missed detail, when it shows the collector's weapons, all the way to the right, you can see Miek's arm from his robotic suit.
I thought i was the only one who thought of that
I like how this version of the Collector is absolutely jacked, and very willing to throw hands, while still maintaining that endearing personality we all fell in love with Guardians of the Galaxy

When Thanos says "mad" referring to his former title of Mad Titan and him sounding more like his MCU version
No shit 😂
I was confused when nebula said he couldn’t take them all… like he was the mad titan who is capable of welding infinity stones
I think it is more of a reference to hulk “im always angry” line but yeah he’s also called mad titan in the comics
Im mad a lil
that they made Thanos so weak, Helas horns so weak and the fact that Thanos is way toooo nice and easy to change his mind like not even the galaxy and in the comics not EVEN THE UNIVERSE AND THE MULTIVERSE LAWS could change him

“You Used to be a god!”- proxima

It's unpleasantly unrealistic, but ok, at least we got to see who Nebula would be with 99% less trauma...
It was eerily refreshing to see Thanos as a non homicidal despot and engaged in normal conversation.
I felt sad when he lost so easily to cul obsidian and proxima midnight. He is different now, but he is THANOS!

The way I screamed when I saw Thanos 🤣
Same
Imagine the original Starlord reaction when he realised that life will be better if he got replaced by tchala
except the entire universe would have been absorbed by ego
@@fr0st2k5 I mean yeah
Thanos is still a fanatic which is hilarious
I’m surprised how many people thought he was “good” now. He is definitely in the “keep your enemies closer” bucket to be honest… 😳 T’Challah is amassing so much good will and respect, it can easily become a liability if things are done in his name by someone regarded as a lieutenant. I’m sure this is a known risk for T’Challah.
I was so surprised that drax wasn’t voiced by Dave it sounded spot on
Idk if anyone has said this yet, but "Cull Obsidian" is called by his actual name "Black Dwarf" if you watch with subtitles. Pretty cool.
I saw that! Thought it was interesting!
I never expected to hear Djimon Hounsou so quirky. I honestly thought someone else voiced him
Bruh more episodes like this please, I loved this episode
I loved the way Thanos snapped his fingers as a reference to what he did in Infinity war❤
Totally missed the Mandela Easter Egg!! Very cool, indeed!!
Tazer face is a skrull. Look at his reaction when they talk about the skrulls
I nearly cried at the end when it showed the message saying that this episode was dedicated to Our Hero Chadwick Boseman 💔
I love how so many times Thanos mentioned his plan for the universe and everyone reminded him that it sounded a lot like genocide LOL!!
Erick can we PLEASEEE get a "classic star lord" "cha-cha" shirt with Chadwick in the middle with his Star Lord outfit🤔🤔🤔 that would be 🗣️ AWESOME SAUCE 😎💪🏻
Aww yes
It was so cool to hear Chadwick again!!!! And josh as thanos was epic as well! Boooooooom looking for This
When they are talking at the dinner table and Thanos does the snap
when thanos was getting beaten up by black order....i was waiting for "all that for a drop of blood?" moment. 😂
We can all agree that Nebula with blonde hair is too hot for the MCU
Hope for a live action apearance
Truee af
Cha Cha… 😎
The name of the ship could also be a reference to the Mandela effect where a group of people remembers events in history that never happened or happened differently some people theorizing that it’s looking into alternate reality… just like this what if series
I'd love to see this version of Nebula in the live action films!
A blonde amy pond lol
Love that they got Kurt Russell back as Ego, hopefully we get him in more episodes! And maybe a What If John Walker was Ego's son given Wyatt Russell is Walker and we'd get a nice actual father and son reunion :D
Maybe the Collector got all of those future artifacts through time-travel! If he stumble into some kind of time-travel situation on accident, he could’ve gotten the quantum realm pod and used it to time-travel!
The part where Okoye said, "that sounds an awful lot like a genocide" really reminded me of the, "that sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship" from Star Wars Attack of The Clones.
this episode was WAYYY better than the first one
Whoa whoa now, you got to much dip on ya chip.
Yess it was a proper story rather than a film crammed into half hour
Both have been great. 🤷🏻♂️
@@danzignorberg6729 no
@@maruko8324 ahh yes forcing your opinion on others please leave it makes most of us happy
+ A flock of seagulls also had the song "I ran" running away from an alien.
