General thoughts on Marvel’s What If…? Episode 6 — What If… Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?
BEWARE SPOILERS!
Quick accessibility note:
As someone who had an active migraine at the time of watching this episode, I appreciate the warning in the corner of the screen that this might contain flashing lights/edit patterns.
Most of you probably don’t even notice it being there — it’s so small, but such a truly important reminder to me and others with light-sensitive conditions to be aware of sensory input while watching.
A lot of companies — including major TV networks — simply don’t bother.
So, thank you, Disney, for being aware of your viewers with disabilities and medical conditions on this.
Not gonna lie, the way Killmonger took Obadiah down at the press conference was perfect.
Like, there was something so satisfying, even knowing Killmonger was probably up to something, in seeing Obie taken down in public so thoroughly. (Also the ‘receipts’ line made me lol!)
Maybe that’s mean of me, but then he was doing under-the-table arms deals with terrorists so… *shrugs*
I think Tony Stark would benefit from watching some sci-fi, and realising that nothing good ever comes outta building a robot army.
Like, between this and Age of Ultron, Tony, I’m starting to think its your destiny to make at least one killer robot in every timeline.
And like, how hard is it to not build killer robots? I do it all the time Tony — just by not building killer robots. You might wanna try it 😉
Also, I’d just like to add: the US invading a foreign country on flimsy circumstantial evidence of possible wrong-doing?
*Looks at camera*
Who’d’ve thought?
…but seriously, that was low-key a way of slipping some political commentary in there without people noticing, and I’m proud of the writers on this one 😅
