12/2/2023 0 Comments End of loki episode 3![]() He’s the x-factor in all of this because of how Hank Pym turned out. Darren Crossįor once, Darren Cross is interesting. In other words, Loki would have access to the Tesseract. The real problem is that the corrupt part of SHIELD would have access to the Tesseract. Not only order through fear and control, but what’s more for a Nazi offshoot to love than being ruled by Norse gods? Unless ego means too much to those in charge, Loki’s rule is everything HYDRA could ever want. They’re still integrated into SHIELD and, unfortunately, that’s probably good for Loki. The episode does a good job of using HYDRA as a red herring early on when Black Widow is being led away in handcuffs. Meanwhile, Samuel Sterns gets to continue his gamma experiments. Having Rogers with him would probably be for the better. He might still mutate from the serum he took, but he should at least be an asset for Fury. Emil Blonsky is a super soldier, but Hulk exploded before he had a chance to kick Blonsky into mush. It does mean something that the events of Incredible Hulk are half-finished. ![]() Otherwise, he’s the big supporting character of the MCU and having him gone is no big loss in terms of ripple effects. Hulk is mainly important in the grand scheme of things for being the perfect wielder of the Infinity Gauntlet and undoing Thanos’ scheme. Mysterio could really become the alternate universe superhero that his mainstream counterpart pretended to be! Hulk’s Odds and Ends A man using trickery and illusion to go toe-to-toe with the godly expert on trickery and illusion. Now, Quentin Beck is someone who might actually prove his worth. I don’t expect any collaborations coming from his corner. Aldrich Killian might oppose Loki via straight-up terrorism by sending exploding Extremis soldiers towards Asgardian forces. Who else has Stark pissed off in main continuity…? The Vulture is a non-factor here, as the events of Avengers do little to push him away from the blue collar lifestyle. Yeah, Justin Hammer’s just going to be a liability in this situation. He may have missed the boat against Loki in regular continuity, but he’s still ready to attack with…Hammer tech. Iron Man’s Friends and FoesĪt the very least, we can count on War Machine helping out. ![]() Ronan and his mind-controlled Thanos are more of a problem for the Nova Corps. That’s definitely the easy option for him, considering the last time he tried invading Earth he ended up escaping with urine trickling down his leg. Remember what happened when Ronan actually got his hand on an Infinity Stone? He IMMEDIATELY betrayed Thanos. He’d probably try the same strategy with Ronan. In the regular timeline, Thanos gambled on the mission by giving Loki the Mind Stone, only to lose both. That means we’d probably see him outsource to his other top goon, Ronan the Accuser. The Tesseract is still on Earth and Thanos would still be interested in it, but the difference is that he would not have found Loki floating through space and would not have used him as a minion. So, good news! Thanos probably isn’t going to be a looming terror anymore thanks to Loki’s success. Sylvie’s decision paid off for this world. He was ultimately defeated by a vengeful Loki, who then went and took over Earth in a mere 24 hours.Īnd hey, good for Loki! When it comes to What If…? stories, Loki is up there with Magneto and Kingpin as a villain who rarely ever wins. Wearing the Yellowjacket costume, he proceeded to murder Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Black Widow. This caused her father Hank Pym to go completely off the deep end. Reading between the lines, she was most likely killed in action by the Winter Soldier (the location she died is the same place Bucky wounded Black Widow). In this branch reality, Hope Van Dyne ended up becoming an Agent of SHIELD. It’s an episode about the Avengers never existing, which has absolutely nothing to do with the actual comic issue What If the Avengers Had Never Been?, but instead turns out more like DC Comics’ Identity Crisis. Instead of switching roles like Captain Carter and T’Challa as Star-Lord, the third episode hides its turning point under a murder mystery. The third episode of Marvel’s What If…? goes in a different direction than the two that preceded it. This article contains spoilers for What If…? episode 3.
