know Moscow had a strange childhood Lake Bell is so good at Black Widow just in general as a person too being like Bell that was a violent Ant-Man wasp cool oh good call th keep fighting down here Widow let’s go for a ride Hal well you so hot anytime she’s the captain of my heart her we could just punch him a whole lot dos have a very punchable face okay worried I’m a little worried guys but we give a chance we’re SL you into our thought process while the opening credits are going racial Vice from
Black Widow I wonder how that relate all right black widows in this episode we’ll see it’s the most an opening has worried me yeah the opening just had that what of season one vibed it did and the further you get away from what if season the better for me like that’s like an egregious season just we don’t talk about that one that’s why we were worried this whole time but now I’m enjoying it I don’t do sequels what’s the point of revisiting the story when there are infinite stories to be told weird for the MCU
to be telling me this yeah about that revisiting she thought her story was over but it was only just beginning so it’s a sequel to the last episode of what if season one she’s getting the win Soldier Story yes on your left Fury has a mission for us man you need more Hobbies it is the Winter Soldier it literally is I can promise you that this won’t be the strangest thing I dealt with today oh Steve oh he’s going to be the winner soldier the Hydra stomper Hydra stomp oh yeah I guess he the antagonist
there’s someone inside are I’m guessing going to make him the villain cuz he’s a white man I’m Steve Rogers more like RoboCop I’m the same my you love uh oh what if Iron Giant was a bad guy I do like that it’s shot like winter soldier sweet sauce maybe it’s just that like resurrected mind problem you know when you’re like who am I I have amnesia like Jason Bourne yeah yeah I’ll Attack I think it’s going to be the Winter Soldier Steve’s hair he’s got beard oh he’s got a beard he’s Winter Soldier they brainwashed
him you got to go to the market and get plums I do like the Winter Soldier outfit with the Captain Britain flag on it Rogers and Barnes formed their own two-man Army and destroyed every Hydra base until the last mission claimed Steve’s life rumors about the hydro stomper survival since the 1960s why wasn’t I debriefed on this because we didn’t debrief you on Bigfoot either if the stories are true then the hydro stomper is responsible for some of the world’s worst acts of Terror rewind back what about Bigfoot yeah is he real like bucking it
was rumored that her old home found and housed the Hydra stomper Rachel we uh Steve evil you didn’t tell me didn’t see the point in breaking your heart twice okay so season one was a lot of what if we remake a movie as an episode this is worrying this is where we smash things together the stomper the world’s most dangerous killer I have a shield a shield ain’t going to stop it I mean she’s got super strength surely you understand that the sovian aid package is generous considering considering it doesn’t cover has Barnes you got
a age oh that’s cool won’t have a country torn apart by Civil War because we didn’t do the right thing that’s greaty would sir we believe there might be an attempt on your life I may be an old man boys but I’ve punched Nazis and shed beers with aliens someone read my catheter get down get down oh that’s cool mirroring the end see I feel like that Shield would do would do damage I mean it saved like 30 people just now that thing is an international terrorist attempting to assassinate a Us official trusting you to
do the right thing this feels more like Nick Fury than he doesn’t the Marvel’s or secret Invasion the second half secret evasion thieves in the suits alive well that’s a different Kell ofon something Howard cooked up after the war good that means I can break it it is interesting because it’s a love story you know and she wants to save him yeah but so so was Bucky and Steve yeah but that’s more like we best butts this this is good I’m having fun with this one I think it’s better than the first episode of season
one yeah and I think it’s an inventive way to make Winter Soldier work again it’s hard because it just feels like hitting the same story beats cuz it is we’ll see well sick I’m giving it a shot coin it’s fun seeing Evil Steve I’m sad to see himam go down I’m hoping he’s like Nomad a come on cool locked in on the target weapons High we do permission to shoot n what secretary no Steve would be stupid enough to do the same for me Steve hey oh my God kill him Steve this should be great
old man Bucky this ain’t you let’s get a drink kill him like the old days what do you say buddy kill him you and me oh I think they might actually that closeup makes me think they’re going to kill him okay I was wrong nope it’s fake out there it go oh we got both that’s a great cool honestly a lot of the animation action Sav so much much better and again Winter Soldier badass brutal hand to hand the bar was high oh the reverse of through the walls is through the ceiling oh yeah yeah
I like that it actually feels like someone drew this time yes versus a computer made it all AI is bad Marvel lesson learned I’m glad they got their AI to make it look hand yeah better AI save him do the thing to die faster put your hands behind your back it works with science it’s real St Steve wake up oh no hey Peg I got you catch him as opposed to jumping out of the plane catch him with a plane why don’t you just reverse the plane tap the brakes reverse the play Slow the plane
down we’re in come on come on come on come on come on come on Good Luck Carter thank you sucker for a good love story huh welcome to St Kilda Scotland why’ you spill the beans fo’s here I got the reference why just F your beans the only thing keeping him alive you can’t remove it n unless you want to put him straight into a coffin you got to go to someone from the Red Room his suit’s rebooting now we’ll see who’s at the controls when he wakes up I do like that it’s obviously still
skinny Steve but they’re making the gauntness tie into the machine keeping him alive what if we no well if not Stark then Banner no unplugging it and plugging it back in is not going to work did you try that tends to work we’ll go to the Red Room what I’ve never been a woman to quit a fight the Red Room did this Rachel W before I join Shield tracking down and killing the head of the Red Room are you certain you killed him mhm dabbed him in the coted artery with a cork screw so yeah
I think I did but at the end of the day it meant nothing I like the pairing of them a lot really fun yeah no one can find it not even Shield sorry I can take you also cap this a similar relationship of hierarchy it’s been a while Peggy I owe you that date Steve should have said dance not too far from the Red Room a sovian military base training camp for KGB spies when the Kremlin abandoned it the Red Room moved in it started off Rocky but I’m enjoying it man we see I’m I’m
half in I’m pretty in I’m more in than not that’s not fair I’m like 70% in I’m just hoping it lands with enough Hood Spa to rationalize the First Act being Winter Soldier again a great day in the neighborhood but I’m INRI oh this is cool it’s like an those nuclear towns those testing sites yeah which is where you’d want to build a plutonium man I love America I feel like I’m in a horror movie I we wants fought a giant space squid I signal the Red Room it’s bait it turned pretty easy okay uh
I’m going to go find a lemonade stand or something he just he a dink against his metal it’s the real Iron stomper what do you think of the future in a word faster cars computers even the news moves fast and uh the men do they move faster oh yeah a it’s a baby so creepy I spent years going after Hydra as long as I was on a mission I could pretend you weren’t G it’s crazy no not crazy very human M finally Peggy widow bites packs sting o oh creepy it’s a baby cool cool cool
cool I’m so down yes the Red Room using this propaganda oh that’s rad pile through this looks incredible Sho there wow wow you for got to mention these robots aren’t very nice sorry my memory is a little fuzzy it’s like Iron Man 2o yeah Russia thought America was like this we didn’t get cable TV over here just shows up without a shield let me just show up go this is what would happen pretty Qui what you think Black Widow whoa that is unsettling it’s unnerving cuz it has that ironic family touch that americ the Red
Room oh I’m sorry Natasha but we turned your bedroom into a gam oh she in charge there she is mission accomplished ma’am no regret no boss only me and his mission there might have been some truth to their connection all right you can say I told you so later I don’t want to fight in front of my mom mom is let’s unpack that later shall we this was all a trap to find me okay now I might say it I don’t know whether to kiss you kill you or dissect you maybe all three yes good
plan all my widows have seen your movie that was a movie it was a musical Ah that’s clever Easter egg oh let’s see it o is she going to be I mean the the shoes have been something get her damn it Steve I got my two pistols there’s no problem that’s plenty it’s fine I can roll booyaah some great tracking shots man DP work combining Winter Soldier and black widow like this I’m in it’s got me it works works really well cool reverse Avenger shot Dave this isn’t you wake up oh that’s fun I like
that use wow so sick the action in this is so good how could Natasha have survived this I think she got clear it’s me Steve it’s Peggy you owe me a date mess with his head psychological mind Warfare not the cookies everyone needs those especially Santa cool yeah I like the Sinister plays a lot here there you go you’re working the Shadows crunchie yeah beat his brain back she cool oh excellent that was excellent dope damn oh that was a top ped oh wow this is a beautiful sequence this Haun so stunning hard aim for
her left knee she damaged in bicycle accident in third grade this I love how just a training session all right let’s see her power set ooh starting to feel like Batman the Animated Series yeah it’s like the the visual expression of The Haunting Flames great I can’t get over how much better it looks and how the action feels so much more weighted I am done fighting Steve I’ve been fighting for so long to end the war I’d like to see some like marks on her though even if this is the end I want you but
he can’t get out of the suit oh no no no yeah man you just got back wait no no a ouch Batman yep there it goes that where that I was like where’ that handle go o wow some serious composition oh wow that was a pretty shot Matt Matt are you all right no we need to run of course we do start off worried man but I really like this the First Act I was not I was really worried it’d be a rehashing and instead they comined this isn’t the end of her story whenever they
go past just the sounds silly the what the what if part yeah and they just embrace the story they’re telling it it always turns out great this season I see all I observe all I know what the hell is this hey Natasha oh the interconnected one a good question yep we’re teasing the interconnected episode will more than likely get right in the finale I’m assuming show us strange Supreme is it strange Supreme that is she what 1602 more she will s our world so much for taking a night off watch you watch you 1602 is
going to be awesome if the big finale 1602 I’m going to lose my might just be the next that was awesome a that was cool you know what’s really cool though what’s cool that shirt you’re wearing Coy yeah it is it’s a great way to show you’re a real reject supporter a real one a real real reject supporter and also like we got the space babies of the Galaxy one we’ve got who influences the influencers we’ve got Child Protection Services we got a whole bunch of te’s and it is absolutely my personal favorite way just
saying to support the channel and you look good while doing it I mean come on you know those are comfortable and they F Well very comfy breathes well it’s got some fluidity to it and it looks great bounce the pecs hold on there you go yeah look Hydra get get closer little Frank gorillo action little Crossbones for you now we’re going to get flagged for inappropriate content because of because of my pegy Carters nice pecky Carters you did it you did it I need water we’ve been doing this for hours I really haven’t drank any
water today I’m like must be what I’m I need water um yeah uh okay okay I’m there with you concern top opening Pro I was like oh God this feels like like all the problems of what if season one just like cheesy Fest and like hey what if we just swapped out some people and then it’s not like a what if it’s like a let’s just remake it yes and I was I had the same concern as you you got ahead of it a little faster than me you you you were more in about five
minutes before me and then I hit a point where I was like oh no he’s right because it I started to see the the through line of where they were going with it of like oh we’re going to combine elements of the Black Widow storyline and the and the and the captain Carter storyline but you know the thing is with with all these episodes of what if every single one of them feels like they could use an extra five to 10 minutes I agree they should not have done this tight 30 they would have all
benefited by like a nice 35 especially our Le I think both of us agree episode two is the weakest um because For Me episode two lands the softest this landed really well this landed great like it got better as it kept going and the weight of the fight scenes in particular are fantastic I love the setting I just love how much emotion can be evoked solely due to what they’re drawing you know and like the to throw them into the ironic haunting setting of the nuclear test site which has imagery that evokes where the the
time period they they actually originate from I think is great how and how that ties into Red Room it ties into both the movies it’s like that perfect ven diagram of the Russian propaganda and the Americana yes yeah like the the horrors of their past converging aesthetically not just character-wise but and and and how they told like really you know they they make all the comments all the time about like Bucky and Steve is really a love story and they actually just told the Love Story version here which I thought was excellent uh I don’t
feel personally like I liked this Agent Carter I thought as an episode it’s a really great like it got to a great point and like again so much of the time unlike season 1 so much of the time there can be moments that I think are absolutely undoubtedly saved by just wow look how great this actually looks 100% you guys got to keep in mind too we are fortunate enough to be watching this on a screener um you know because uh we’re part of the press list for him and we’re fortunate to watching the screener
and that is not as great a quality yeah we’re watching this downgraded yeah yeah as what you guys get to watch or watching on like Disney plus servers or something and and I’m still like this looks amazing also you may notice how bright it is in here we’re watching this under fluoresence like if you’re watching this in the dark in high quality it must look even better because right now we’re like a little blinded and watching it like on a you know screener so this is this Show’s gorgeous yeah it’s absolutely gorgeous and and I
and so much of that and again when you’re doing animation more than a a liveaction with CGI or whatever animation has to has to elicit an emotion it has to it just has to and I think this show is actually doing it yeah and so I could watch these moments of fight scenes that are just not just like oh look how cool and pretty that is it has weight it has character it it moves the story it a lot of times with like a liveaction movie you might be like oh I need to watch like
the I need to be invest in the characters in order to care about the visuals the visuals can get you emotionally invested that’s what I’m talking about with the inverse here agree and I think that is the strength of what if season 2 in particular now has any episode so far risen to the heights of this doctor strange episode not for me personally in terms of a story I think as a consistency though and as an overall season it a far out does season one already yeah there’s no finale feel I mean obviously we’re not
to the finale yet but there’s nothing that feels as strong as episode 8 season 1 I agree but four was four right or four five the strange Supreme one oh and then it wrapped up in eight yeah yeah yeah talking about four I’m talking about the just the doctor strange episode yeah like that was like a perfect like 30 minute episode yeah it was it was pretty incredible but but for me this is Leaps and Bounds above the average feel oh yeah yeah like that I would rather have the problem with season one is that’s
one phenomenal episode out of like eight fine like seven of them are like fine and here I’m like no there’s there’s a lot of greatness and almost I don’t remember much about two but but one three four like there’s there’s been pretty much something great yeah in every single one of them and it’s so funny cuz 88 was the one I was looking forward to most that was like that like premise wise but I think that also shows how good the episodes have been that the premise hasn’t been what’s got me it’s been the delivery
on the premise as it’s presented yeah exactly cuz this one like you said the premise I was like I’m a little concerned and then as soon as it like actually let me breathe I was like man this is stunning I’m invested I love the convergence of themes and ideas and the delivery is incredible my my only concern is I still and I want to I still don’t feel as much for Agent Carter exactly Captain Carter is I want to because if you like have you have you interviewed or met um Haley Atwell no no I
second you do melt everything Cap’s ever done makes sense like if you’re in the the same breathing space as Haley Atwell suddenly you’re like I would fight for 100 years and go back in time and and abandon everything I would absolutely kill off Rebecca Ferguson to have Haley ell and convert her to Scientology as needed you do what you got to do do what you got to do to keep her and that is what I don’t feel from the animated version and that’s unfortunate that’s the only thing I wish I could like connect to yeah
you know and in what I’m I’m gonna bring it back to your point in a second because what’s what was missing for me here when I said I wish there were some marks on Peggy what after she was fighting with Steve when she’s saying I’m tired I’m like okay yeah you’re you’re saying you’re tired we need to see it you know when in Winter Soldier when he’s fighting with Bucky at the end and and he’s just I could do this all day whatever and he’s he’s refusing to like give up on Bucky yeah he’s he’s
Captain America but he’s still looks like messed up yeah and if they did that with Peggy then that would have just hit so much harder and it’s her accent on top of it that Feels So Posh and Polished it’s like she’s fine all the time like there’s also that verbal element of like yeah you’re good it seems like yeah you’re you’re quitting because you’re emotionally tired but I feel like you can also be visually tired yeah like we need need to like physically mess you up a little I want to care about Captain Carter I
do yeah cuz I like the chemistry between her and black widow and I I I think this show is absolutely at its best whenever they get past winking at the audience and that’s what I mean by when they get past SE and Jeff Goblin Winks at a self with but like they could have easily done with like uh with Rachel vice’s character Melania Melina Melinda Melinda something like that Melania Trump Melania yeah yeah um check her grave oh no that’s the other one his other wife they could have just been like oh she’s look at
us we’re what if and she’s the villain no they just they just they just do it she’s just a villain yeah and I think whenever they get past winking is when the show is excelling cuz in a universe you wouldn’t know the other viers to wink so when they do it it like takes you out of the suspension of disbelief of like wait wait we’re in another universe that’s not special here it’s just the way things are so when they make it special I’m like you guys don’t get the premise and season one did a
lot of winking it was alln it was nothing but like except swapped it four and eight weren’t winging and that’s why we’re were referring to them as as the good ones especially four if I if I rewatch what if in a year or two or if I ever do a a massive Marvel rewatch I’ll probably watch episodes four eight and then this as my what if yeah no I I don’t I I’ve never rewatched I’ve only rewatched the doctor Str that’s I watch the finale because I do assume that’ll tie in to Secret Wars in
some way but that’s it yeah yeah 48 this cuz this has all been great and rewatchable and Christmas is now got I think this has been awesome this has really been awesome overall and even like yeah I I I think a lot of this was really uh I can’t wait to see I yeah I’m curious how it lands at at their ninth episode can’t wait to see can’t wait to see more all right koyi let’s see more let’s see more by ending this video first let’s do that and I’m going to get some water you
should you seem you you you you look vexed you look how Peggy Carter should after figh tired you look a little disoriented I was like I’m Tire I’m usually tired but I’m more tired than usual dehydrated and I’m like oh yeah I’m probably really dehydrate his eyes are wavering yeah all right guys let’s go to the bathroom everybody go to the bathroom
