What If... Agatha Went to Hollywood?

What's so fantastic about what if is that we get to see characters interact with each other that normally wouldn't in the mcu timeline. Sometimes they work (Zombies) sometimes they don't (Mech Avengers). Well this episode made it work. Agatha and Kingo's chemistry is absolutely amazing! They perfectly capture each other's vibe and character, making the final confrontation between Kingo and Agatha work. I gotta say this episode's voice acting was absolutely amazing and the animation was so beautiful. So much of an improvement over the mech avengers episode where the character motivations didn't make sense and the character interactions did not work.

Wandavision and Eternals were genuinely some of my favorite MCU projects after Endgame and I'm so glad their characters got a chance to interact!

I don't think anybody actually asked this, "What If?" question...... I had a hard time watching to the end. Just like the poster before me mentioned, there had to have been 100 better ideas than this one.... This episode came from a marvel movie that performed horribly with a bunch of characters that are already forgotten. Furthermore the few memorable characters that do exist in this episode act nothing like what we have come to expect or how they act from the movies. Who thought this was a good idea? How have they strayed so far from what fans actually enjoy? The What If question should be what if Marvel started making quality content again...I didn't think things could get worse after the first episode but here we are.

The second episode of #WhatIf is absolutely amazing-wow.

This new chapter improves on everything from the pilot episode: it's interesting, visually stunning, filled with great characters, and well-written.

The story takes place in Hollywood, where Agatha Harkness seeks the power of the Celestial, weaving an impressive tale with many twists and turns that keep the audience engaged until the very end.

Despite being a short story, the episode delivers a beautiful message about cinema-what it represents and means to the world.

This episode is just great. If the next episodes are like this, I take back what I said about this being the worst season of the show.

Who thought of this , i know everthing is possible in multiverse. But out of all the great things you thought of bringing this atrocity here. I am indian myself . The dance of the musical in the beggining is just ridiculous. I think you guys are just searching indian songs on the internet and start sampling music. You need to do better. The 3 stars i am giving is for the animations, those seem like the only hardworking people from the entire team. From ironman 1 to this you guys come a long and wrong road a serious improvement is needed in the story makes literal no sense. A marvel fan could make better stories than this? It was a piece of c##p. I am disappointed in everyone who have approved the music, dance, storyline, its is literally unrelated unwatchable. And a waste of my time. Please stop bringing disappointment to table like this please cook something good. I dont believe in the 6 reviews written before me the are full of b######t . This episode was just not upto the par.

I haven't looked at the reviews yet, but I'd imagine this scored badly on the IMDB. Even without the female and POC leads, what I've learned is that the thing reviewers of this show hate the most is fun, and this is certainly that.

Agatha Harkness (Katheryn Hahn) has established herself as the greatest star in Hollywood and is currently acting in the latest picture for newly established movie mogul Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper). Her climactic dance number has an ulterior motive though, that being to tap the power of a celestial currently lying dormant at the Earth's core - but it's not working. To complete the ritual, she needs the power of one more person, who just happens to also be an actor - Bollywood superstar (and Eternal) Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani). Kingo though knows exactly who he's signed up to appear opposite.

I really thought that this was good. It worked back in the Eternals-lore that has been largely ignored since the movie - seriously, not one reference to the giant creatures' head sticking out of the planet since then. It featured everyone's current favourite, Agatha Harkness, and brought back both Dominic Cooper and James D'Arcy as Howard Stark and Jarvis from "Agent Carter" days. There are dance numbers, it's very funny and it looks great.

I'm not here for your performative disapproval.
