‘Marvel, quit letting your milennial writers drink coffee and overload on sugar while reading AO3!’
General thoughts on Marvel’s What If…? episode 7 — What If… Thor Were An Only Child?
BEWARE SPOILERS!!!!
Warning: brief discussion of racism and colonial practices, brief references to nuclear weapons and general violence
I have an on-going theory that the writers of this series are the most serious of fanfiction devotees — especially crack fics.
This episode went a long way to proving me right.
(Fandom notes:
Crack fics are fics which contain the surreal/batpoop bizarre — think peak Internet humour, Charlie-the-Unicorn-style randomness.)
I present a brief dossier of batsh**tery:
- Howard the Duck and The Grandmaster (En Dwi Gast) are somehow both at this Vegas party
- Fandral has a goat named Gary. (I love it!)
- En Dwi’s DJ’ing, apparently.
- DID DARCY JUST F**KING MARRY HOWARD THE DUCK?!
- They called Thor’s mother when sh** got real.
