When your ex-boyfriend you had an ugly breakup with calls you to stop a world-ending threat but fails to tell you you're gonna be on a team with your other ex-boyfriend who you had a second, uglier, more recent breakup with all while you're just trying to be a single dad to the daughter you had with your missing presumed dead wife

What If...? 3x03 - What If... The Red Guardian Stopped the Winter Soldier?

Episode 2 of Season 2 of What If was awesome! I loved it! It was incredible. 11/10! Hope was cute, Peter was sad, Bucky was sad, the whole team was awesome! Everyone has to watch it, NOW!

Just watched episode 2 of What If Season 2, and it was a much better and evenly paced episode. I love this team of characters that they used for this episode, like an 80's version of the Avengers. The character beats from everyone just worked for me in this episode, from Winter Soldier to Peter Quill. I love the relationship between Hope and Peter, it's a small moment, but it really encapsulates Peter's character. I really love the ending to this episode, and would love to see this team again if possible.

10/10

smh, I'm STILL bitter that Bill Foster / Black Goliath was killed during Civil War for no good reason.

And then, years later, he gets introduced into the MCU, but is basically treated like a throwaway character in the Ant-Man movies.

Not only do we not get to see him have any fight scenes in the Ant-Man movies, he doesn't use his powers or even suit up (not even in flashback scenes, except just recently on Season 2 of WHAT IF?, where he has a couple throwaway lines).

Like, why bring a character into a story, who's known for being suited up as a superhero, if you plan to just throw them away like that??

Hank Pym/Goliath (MCU Redesign)

Today’s newest MCU redesign is the suit of Hank Pym’s third comic identity as Goliath, styled after the MCU’s Ant-Man suits.

Hope you like it!

PYP: Big or small?

⬆️⬇️

Unless you’re Hank Pym (or Scott Lang), you only choose being a Goliath or shrinking to the size of an atom. I’m curious how it’s humanly possible to survive either way, but I don’t care much for ants or any other bug, so I think I’d go big or go home.

What If Peter Quill just needed a friend... Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

#WhatIf Peter Quill just needed a friend... Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

Peter shows up to Earth in Ego’s ship that we saw in Guardians II and begins to attack. That led to Mustache Man Howard Stark and Peggy Carter at PEGASUS calling on our Avengers of the 1980s. So, slowly but surely, they all show up: Hank Pym as Ant Man, Bill Foster as Goliath, King T’Chaka as Black Panther, Wendy Larson as Mar-Vell, and Bucky Larson as the Winter Soldier. The interactions…

@captainhelion:

So I think that there's a story to be found, though it's not one I'm interested in writing because I don't really deeply care about any of the characters around in the '80s -- and like, we know who most of those characters are, because What If actually tackled "what if the Avengers had to form in the '80s" in one of their rare good episodes. so let's lay out who's around in the '80s that we know about -- let's just say 1985, middle of the decade, before the real drama starts happening.

Howard Stark (director of SHIELD science, CEO of Stark Industries)

Peggy Carter (director of SHIELD)

Hank Pym (Ant-Man, SHIELD)

Janet van Dyne (Wasp, SHIELD)

Bill Foster (Goliath, SHIELD)

T'Chaka (Black Panther, Wakanda)

Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier, USSR)

Alexei Shostakov (Red Guardian, USSR)

Melina Vostakoff (Black Widow, USSR)

General Dreykov (director of the Red Room, USSR)

Thaddeus Ross (probably a colonel at this point, U.S. Army)

Obadiah Stane (Stark Industries)

Xu Wenwu (Ten Rings)

also the entire Asgardian cast, and the rest of the Red Room, and some of our mainline present day MCU characters as younger characters --Tony, Rhodey, and Bruce would all be in their mid-late teens, most of the others are born, but very young. (Natasha would be one in 1985.)

In terms of emotional impact, the biggest difference between an 80s discovery and the 2010s discovery is that most of Steve's people are still around in the 1980s -- it's entirely possible that all the rest of the Howling Commandos are still alive by then, for example; we know that Howard and Peggy are alive. I actually think that having Steve show up in the '80s would make Tony's relationship with Howard way, way worse, since Howard's actually there to have the feelings about.

what I think plot-wise, barring some kind of major alien threat like What If produced in their shockingly-actually-good episode, it does actually have to go to some kind of Cold War conflict between SHIELD and either the Red Room or Hydra. I will bang my drum again about actual MCU canon being pretty clear that the Red Room is not connected to the Winter Soldier program at all, so those are two separate entities. you probably get something relatively close to CATWS, just played out early and with a different emotional resonance -- you kind of have to chase down the SHIELD/Hydra connections here, with Peggy and Howard both still around.

so like, there's a story there! not one I'm interested in, but one could certainly do something with it. (I'm sure actual Marvel comics canon at some point has pulled Steve out of the ice in the '80s and had some elaborate political metaphor, though in the '80s that would have been twenty years before the Winter Soldier was created.)
