What If... CA:TFA Was Copied Poorly? 

This show is actually a perfect observation case... We get to how bad a good story can get in the hands of shitty writers... We get to see the many ways the first avenger could have been screwed up and we get to admire the original even more in contrast...

I mean that's a fair interpretation, it's just possible that the serum amplifies existing muscle and thus made Peggy with serum stronger than Steve with the Serum. If that's not how it should work that's a small issue compared to basically everything else in the episode 😆 but thanks for pointing that out

@@puggietaur Oh absolutely. It's definitely minor...and don't even get me started on the "improved" formula in FATWS where people look exactly the same. Such garbage. Good breakdown on the vid. Gonna take time to watch all of your videos. :)

I also used to think it wasn't that bad. But man does every episode of this show suck

@@puggietaur including the ultron one?

@@JustSaph oh man you aren't ready for my video on that one 😏

@@puggietaur 💀💀💀

@@JustSaphbro that one is one of the worst if not the worst 💀 it was so bad it didn’t even survive a first viewing for me. It actually caused me to re-evaluate the entire series

no, indestructible means can't be destroyed not hasn't been destroyed

One thing (if I might): "Indestructible" is similar to "impossible". "NOTHING is "impossible", only MATHEMATICALLY IMPROBABLE." --- Sir August De Wynter. Back in 1943, it was "impossible" to split an ⚛️ atom, or to break the Sound Barrier 🚧. And (as Mz. Mode would say) here we are.

​@@puggietaur you missed my joke lol. I know what it means, I just make a joke based on his logic.

[RE: Howard's armor.] "They don't make 'em like THAT anymore." --- James Leasor. (Amongst INNUMERABLE others.)

Thanks! I don't really mind the animation that much but yeah it's not good

It is a really odd, ugly animation style. It basically just looks like the pre-vis art for most Marvel movies, except they’ve given it this *very* Disney-looking color palette and overall vibe. Like, the facial movements (and movement in general) look like they fit right in with that late 80’s/early 90’s Disney Animation aesthetic. I hate it. They should’ve made it look like the comic art, like a slightly more “grounded” version of the Spider-Verse movie animation style.

i've already started working on that, hopefully it's less distracting in the following videos

we don't know exactly how it worked so i was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt

fair enough

@@puggietaur by the way Great breakdown on Red Skull in the first avenger. I always enjoy someone breaking apart good or bad scenes to explain how they tick.

that's not how it works, watch endgame or loki. and the flash doesn't do its time travel or multiverse well either that movie's plot is awful 😆

@@puggietaur Loki has a variant who is an alligator whose Nexus event was "eating the neighbor's cat" and Sylvie is a woman despite being a variant of Loki. And another Loki variant who's black. And we've got No Way Home establishing the Raimiverse and Webbverse timelines being canon to the MCU multiverse like how the Burton Batman movies seemed to be canon to the Flashpoint timeline despite being a branched timeline of the DCEU with Michael Shannon's General Zod invading Earth. Yeah, pretty sure you can only use Flash's fulcrum logic to justify that. After all, Marvel and DC are rivals who always copy each other, why not give them the same rules? The multiversal time travel in my novels will follow a similar logic with someone going back in time into another timeline already finding things off about that universe without even going back to the future.

@@SeanWheeler100 The only explanation for Alligator Loki is that it's not a real Loki. The Sylvie thing is an issue and is stupid. Loki is the worst story I've ever seen so most of what it establishes is breaking its own rules, the only thing it does do properly is how branches are branches and not fulcrums like the flash movie. The Raimiverse and Webverse are possible if the timeline branch happened farther back in the past, like before the Tesseract ended up on earth or something. The MCU's rules came before The Flash came out, and it's definitely not the same idea. Any resemblances it might have to it are continuity issues. The Flash's multiversal travel is pretty nonsensical anyways I wouldn't use it to explain anything, it doesn't even explain itself

@@puggietaur Well, it is really screwing up the branches in Season 2. In scenes outside the TVA, there's a caption telling us the year and place and whether the scene takes place on the Sacred Timeline or a Branch Timeline, and the two instance of the Sacred Timeline, I really have to disagree and say they are branch timelines. Because the first instance, X-5 went back to his life as the movie star Brad Wolfe, but if the TVA Agents were variants, as in people from branched timelines, shouldn't there be another Brad Wolfe on the Sacred Timeline confronting his imposter? And the next instance of the Sacred Timeline was Ravonna dropping off the TVA guidebook to Victor Timely as a child, and then the trip to the Chicago World Fair was on a branched timeline with a variant Victor grown up and had the book that Ravonna gave him, even though as a variant, he should be a different person from the Sacred Timeline's Victor. If Ravonna went back on the Sacred Timeline, it should be a closed loop similar to the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season finale where the agents returned to their original timeline shortly before they left and became the people in the blue hazmat suits from the previous season finale. It shouldn't be that the time-travellers were on the sacred timeline until they do something that causes a paradox to branch the timeline. The time-travelling Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America and Ant-Man from Endgame were not in the background of the first Avengers film. Pretty sure Loki is making the Sacred Timeline and branches more confusing than ever. Especially with the Sacred Timeline now being a rope of many timelines on the Temporal Loom. Oh well, I'll just watch your Loki review now. After watching the Echo trailer.

@@SeanWheeler100 yeah Loki s2 is not making anything better. Brad being an undercover agent in the sacred timeline doesn't make any sense HOWEVER the rennslayer thing actually does, at least the aspect you're talking about. she drops off the book to him in the sacred timeline, but when she visits him in the future, it's a branch timeline. the problem is that the branch timeline is 30 years or something past when she dropped off the book, and branch timelines play out in real time, so she would have needed to wait 30 years for him to reach that point. they just forgot about that rule from season 1

the tesseract seemingly is fine to hold as long as it wasn't recently used. tony picks it up for a second in endgame. right after being used it's hot tho

that's a good point

thanks so much!

binging my videos i see 😉

I mean Tobey and Andrew technically could be from alternate timelines of the MCU where, for example, the tesseract never fell to earth and that led to a bunch of things being different. But yeah they don't really make it clear whether they want you to think certain universes are branches or not

@@puggietaur ​ Yeah, but that would also mess with the previous continuity established by the comics and the films. All Marvel media is intended to be part of the multiverse with their own Earth designation (games, movies, shows, etc.) and characters in the comics have been aware of some of the film’s realities, including the MCU. I personally don’t like the idea of those universes branching from the MCU as that would just raise more questions than answers.

@@tiger_lord305 technically the MCU has never acknowledged that, it's the comics' fault for roping the MCU into something it's not a part of

The multiverse continues parallel universes that branched from one another (these are timelines) as well as entirely separate universes that differed from their original creation (so they didn't branch; they have always existed separately) Theoretically, going to a different timeline should be a lot easier than going to an entirely separate universe. Think about a timeline universe branching off as a tree; that is its own multiverse system, but a stage 1 multiverse. Now another tree nearby is its own multiverse system, also of stage 1, but the collection of all such trees is a stage 2 multiverse. And the collection of all such trees of different species (different IPs, such as DC, Marvel, star wars, etc), is a stage 3 multiverse. The entirety of all this collection is called the Omniverse

fair enough

I think the problem here is how it looks. In Civil War, Steve looks to be going all out, but Peggy looks likes she’s just out for a jog. Which is the real point here, Steve always looks to be working hard in these type scenes, but Peggy doesn’t seem to be trying that hard.

multiverse doesn't mean free of logic but alright. if it's only entertainment that matters, then i'll just say that all of the plot holes ruin my entertainment of it

What If is a series that hinges on the premise of one event from the main MCU timeline being altered, which causes a multitude of differences and changes to events. Essentially the butterfly effect. Each episode is built off a premise, in this case being, "What if Peggy stayed in the room instead of going behind the glass window". The premise is broken however when moments that shouldn't have been effected at all by that choice, like Hydra finding the Tesseract later or there not being an extra vial of serum happen. These aren't nitpicks, these are huge events that allow the plot to go off so much from the original story into what the episode shows, yet they have nothing to do with the central premise.

if time works differently then how could the monster control its limbs through the portal? and similarly peggy would die if time was flowing differently for one part of her body compared to another (the time dilation would have to be very high to make a few minutes into 70 years)

​@@puggietaur i would write a bunch of defences BUT that requires me writing a LOT more for the writer and at this point that just makes it into fanfiction ngl

then when she was partway through part of her body would age a lot more than the rest of it and she would die

they are realities/timelines/universes the words are used interchangeably

What is the difference between a timeline, reality, dimension and universe exactly?

@@VexdinLord so timeline/reality/universe are used interchangeably and are the same, but dimensions (occasionally erroneously called universes, specifically in doctor strange 1) have counterparts in every timeline. for example, each timeline has its own astral and mirror dimensions

@@puggietaur Then we add Realms into the mix and I don't understand what the hell if going on.

@@VexdinLord "realm" doesn't really matter as a word in the MCU. the 9 realms are just different planets, and the quantum realm is its own thing that quantumania messed up big time

false. unless you mean recently in which case mostly true

@@puggietaur No it's the truth, the mcu has always been trash.

@@Auron1Roxas2 tell me why the first avengers movie is bad 🧐
