That, coupled with the story’s breakneck pace, give this episode a great momentum that it carries through to the end. The cosmic setting really works better for What If’s art style than the drab WWII-era Earth we got last week, with the vibrant colors of James Gunn’s Guardians films popping nicely across both action and exposition. With an even more flamboyant personality and an arsenal of famous MCU weapons to defend himself, The Collector’s a fun foe for T’Challa and the Ravagers to battle, and those moments of action again prove to be a highlight of What If’s execution. Nebula enlists T’Challa’s help in tracking down the Embers of Genesis, a world-engine Macguffin currently in the hands of the man who filled the power vacuum Thanos left behind: The Collector (Benicio del Toro), who’s shredded now.
#Greek season 1 episode 2 crack
Oh, and do the Ravagers crack a joke about Thanos’ original plan to save the galaxy with genocide? No, they don’t! Do they crack multiple jokes about it? Sure do! Yeah, the first one had that hallmark bite of caustic humor which define the Guardians as we know them, but it’s a tired bit by the third mention. We’re already used to a certain level of unreality when it comes to the CG-created Thanos, so after a couple lines of dialogue, I found myself forgetting this wasn’t actually Sacred Timeline Thanos. This is all made especially bizarre by just how seamless Brolin’s performance feels in animation. And this Thanos has got some Big Dad Energy, cracking jokes and showing genuine affection for his crewmates and (adopted, as they’ll remind you) daughter, Nebula (Karen Gillan). Credit where it’s due: having Josh Brolin stop by to voice a redeemed Thanos in just the second episode is bold. That’s especially shocking, given who T’Challa’s got working as his Draxian muscle. T’Challa has reformed the Ravagers into a much less dysfunctional group of galaxy guardians who are all more or less on the same page about their benevolent missions. This episode sits at the other end of that spectrum and feels like a better fit for the show’s format and style. I gave What If’s premiere credit for its restraint in diverging too far from MCU history out of the gate, for the sake of warming casual viewers up to the multiverse. Boseman's performance is an absolute joy. The other MCU vets voicing their characters have mixed success, though the quality of the performances is better overall this week. It’s going to be very hard for some fans to watch this episode knowing it marks the beginning of the end of our time with the character, but Boseman’s enthusiasm and commitment (especially in the face of what he was going through) are a huge source of comfort. Boseman sinks his teeth into this new characterization and brings refreshing lightness to T’Challa. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and with that mantle lightyears away, this T’Challa is a flirty, gregarious badass. While I still have significant reservations about What If casting MCU actors to reprise their roles in this animated series, where experienced voice actors might work better, Boseman’s performance is an absolute joy. "Unfortunately, he never was able to see the finished product, but he was very excited about taking part in it," Winderbaum said. Luckily, this isn't the last we'll hear of Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa in What If.? Executive producer Brad Winderbaum previously revealed to IGN that Boseman's voice will appear in four episodes of the series, playing a different version of T'Challa each time. That means Korath’s (Djimon Hounsou) not asking “WHO!?” on Morag, it’s more like “HOOOWEEE!” What If.? Will Feature More of Chadwick Boseman The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) bridges the gap between the abduction and the present day by detailing the influence T’Challa’s unimpeachable moral compass had on a universal scale as he grows into the renowned Star-Lord that Quill had deluded himself into thinking he was at the time in his career. Gardening Australia, Annika, Talking Heads and Grantchester.This episode posits a world in which Yondu (Michael Rooker) outsourced Peter Quill’s abduction to Kraglin (Sean Gunn) who, instead of snatching Quill, accidentally grabs the Prince of Wakanda instead.
