And Carol calling him “Whitesnake”!

Not catastrophically so much as “made a servant to the outrage machine.” He’s a fine writer but it seems like every story lately has to have an outrage slant.

It’s almost as if --- and hear me out, i know it’s crazy --- barsanti is catastrophically bad at his job 

I think the enchantment is still there. It looked like only Thor was able to lift the hammer. It’s not like Carol tried to grab it at any point and she couldn’t move it when she was pinned down.

Remarkably, I don’t think we’ve agreed on our interpretations of a single episode so far. I thought this was delightful. It had a natural divergence point, and the subsequent storyline was amusing, with good animation, fun acting, and decent writing.

This version of Thor never invaded Jotunheim, & thus was never banished, so the worthiness enchantment was never placed on Mjolnir.

I can’t help but notice that there’s now a puzzling trend of female leads from the MCU not showing up on What If…?

Can’t believe we’ve all gotten this far without talking about my new best friend, Happy Clancy Brown.

Jane has a phone conversation with Dr. Selvig that we just hear the end of I believe, where she says “Thanks Dr. Selvig”. Either that or she’s just thanking him metaphorically, but she says his name.

Uh ... the scene of her waking up in the hotel room starts with a shot of Thor asleep on the couch. Then there’s a whole joke when she’s at the door talking to Maria and she claims she doesn’t know where he is, and he starts blathering on in the background about a rabbit in the sink.

“...even if it potentially comes at the expense of some established characterization...” It’s an alternate reality. FFS, when will you grasp that?

Chris Hemsworth is clearly having fun and fits well, Jeff Goldblum is clearly the Grandmaster here but if you told me someone else was voiced Jane Foster, I would totally have believed you.

Natalie Portman, Evangeline Lilly, Angela Bassett, and Tilda Swinton’s are no one’s idea of shrinking violets who put up with any shit, and they all came back, but you know...

Tony Stark and Steve Rogers have had significant roles in past episodes without being voiced by their live-action actors, but hey, women, amirite?

All right, who had Barsanti giving a bad review to a fun episode after whining the day before about how the episodes were too dark?

Oh, everyone did. That’s right.

“Why, it’s almost like the show has been quietly setting up some kind of arc for its narrator, but would could have possibly seen that coming?!”

Would could…

I don’t know what that means, if anything, but I maintain my stance that some of these stories only work if you have the movie actors involved.

“I thought I wanted a thing, but then I got the thing, and I realized maybe I don’t want it, because I don’t seem to have a really firm grasp on what I like or why I like it despite all these words!”

I absolutely loved this episode because of how insanely silly it was and the utter committal to it. Also I did laugh a lot, so since the comedy worked for me, it helped the episode along. The God of Partying is just such a natural gimmick for Thor and he was so enjoyable that for once I didn’t find Captain Marvel…

Feels like it deserves more than a “C+”. It’s a silly lighthearted episode, much more enjoyable than the gloomy Dr Strange variant.

Weird how Charles didn’t post anything about how so many of his posts are deliberately mischaracterized, in bad faith or taken completely out of context.
