He couldn’t take all the Hough and cry surrounding the show.

Finally, someone agrees with me that 40K was (at least one time) satirical!

Slightly off topic, but back when Warhammer 40K was still fun, one of the named characters of the Ork army was named after her.

The one I always remember is “What if the Fantastic Four all got the same power” where when they all had the stretchy powers they decided to never use them and never speak of it again, and I think when they all had Sue’s powers they took out Doctor Doom and saved the world forever.

“Did you just hold a grudge?”

Did either time involve clones? As that would be a point in his favour, right?

They also did one in which Michael Korvac, who had had a decent arc in Avengers (co-starring the Guardians of the Galaxy, the original comics version), also ends up wiping out the universe via the Ultimate Nullifier. You wouldn’t think that a story like that would have a sequel, but it did.

Only twice. In the Marvel Universe, that makes him a slacker.

The ending of that What if? is one of my favorite Iron Man and Cap friendship moments in 616 continuity.

I haven’t read the comics, but I do admit to being a little bummed out by all of the downer endings in the show. That said, it does kind of make sense. In the regular timeline movies and shows, we see the heroes win out against seemingly impossible odds again and again. So, it figures that in the vast majority of…

Basically, you have to ensure the audience isn’t left thinking “You know, this is actually a better setup than the real story. Why can’t we just keep going with this?”

The one with all the X-Men trapped in Asgard was cool too. Wolverine becoming head of SHIELD. Wolverine switching places with Conan - (although not so good for the Conan side)

Yup. I’ve read a lot of What if? and ‘sudden downer ending’ is kind of their thing. I’m not watching the show but I’m glad they’ve kept that energy!

I had or read almost all of the first What If run and quite a few of the second What If run and there were only a few happy endings.

One that comes to mind is Reed and Sue’s second child living and basically bringing about world peace (and even that one had a different story in the same comic about her being an evil…

When I first saw the trailer for the original, I thought it was like Alien Nation or District 9:  orca and elves magically showed up in our world and had been around for like a decade or so.  Once I saw the movie and it revealed that orcs and elves had been around for as long as humans, the whole thing fell apart. 

The one true chicken-human hybrid...

The thing about X-men is that they both existed in their own little bubble and participated in major crossover events. Like the whole registry thing should probably apply to all people with superpowers in the combined universe but people only outright hated and persecuted mutants. It was like a majority of the people…

The problem is that NO black person nor black people as a whole poses an existential threat to a white person like Magneto does to humanity, except in the fevered conspiratorial minds of Q-following shitheels. Which is the problem: the comparison. Like, Malcolm X had NOTHING on Magneto or Apocalypse or Scarlet Witch,…
