What If...Zombies!? Observations

By

 



Without spoiling too much (besides the fact that some of your favorite MCU characters either die, are zombies, or both):

  • Interesting that there was no main protagonist. A case could be made for either Peter or Banner, but neither were really "in charge" throughout the story.
  • On that note, the episode highlights what happens in a world where key MCU leader types are either unavailable or just...gone. The motley crew left behind makes for cool interactions, but they're not exactly the odds on favorite for surviving. 
  • It's cool that the zombie narrative isn't the sole story; we're seeing the events of "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp" play out (somewhat) with a zombie curve-ball thrown in, so there are conflicts on top of conflicts.
  • The characters who didn't show up in this story (hint: they're probably still in space) make one wonder what will happen when/if they show up...
  • I was curious as to whether the zombies here would be normal, not-smart zombies or the type from the Marvel story (they are aware that they are zombies and keep their personalities, but can't fight the hunger). The revelation is a lion's share of the former and a sprinkling of the later, with some tweaks. 
  • At first, it seemed that each episode was getting darker in tone. While this episode certainly ranks up there with last week's, there some surprisingly dark humor that reminiscent of Episode 3. 
  • Speaking of tone, the Watcher seems to be less desensitized as we go on. Maybe we'll see him break his vow of non-interference soon?

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
