Routines, routines, Marvel even sucks, nothing new

After watching the last episode, I just can't stop talking, I don't even know how to vomit.

"What if" was originally a series that could open up your mind, but the screenwriter abruptly wrote it as a third-rate fan. The characters are completely reduced to the kind of plot stringers.

It is undeniable that some of the 9 episodes are indeed very good, such as Doctor Strange in the Monster Devourer version, Ant-Man kills the Quartet Loki and enjoys it, and the party prince Thor can also make people laugh. But the routine of the last episode was so obvious that it made the Pearl of the previous episodes dusty.

Specifically, the characters are improvised, the plot is the same, and the connotation is shallow.

The characters are improvised because they use the observer's mechanical serenity to gather several heroes from the previous episodes together to fight Ultron. This was originally limited to space and was harmless. After all, it was unrealistic to find someone who the audience didn't know to play the leading role in the last episode. But let the watcher catch a few heroes and throw them into a cafe and do the quest...you play the game. Struggle, explain the symbolic sentence, and you understand the connection between the characters anyway, so omit the past. There are almost no inner contradictions and development of the characters. It is easy to understand that Killmonger does not want to return to the original world, and it is easy to understand that he covets the Infinity Stones. Then why did the observers choose him to be the hero of this multiverse? Can't choose someone else. The little spider of the zombie universe, or the amazing captain of the world, which is more suitable than killmonger. Selecting killmonger seems to be purely for the follow-up backstab, and turning for a turning point is too blunt.

The plot is the same, and it still hasn't escaped the middle-two teenage manga mode where a few characters gather together to fight the boss (this is even a bit insulting to the middle-two teenage manga). Will it have any effect on the multiverse by simply putting together a multiverse savior? If not, is the observer's persistence for so many years a show of brains? It makes sense to break the principle in the face of death threats, and find the Monster Devourer version of Doctor Strange because he is the only character who can see the Observer by himself. Next, the Observer gathers up heroes to let them go to the battlefield. It's not just intervene, it's messing up the world line. The hero of a certain world is taken away, what will this world look like? Will time continue to flow in one direction? I don’t know. . Natasha was also given another world, and the director of Braised Egg happily got a widow.

Finally, let's talk about content. It's a good proposition to explore how different choices affect the world. For example, Thor, without Loki's company and stimulation, would he become the second Hela? According to Thor's character embodied in the first "Thor", it is very possible. After all, Loki would have stabbed him when he was eight. Thor, the party prince in "what if", has no surprises and no joy, and it is worth laughing. The most amazing thing is Doctor Strange, the monster devourer. Regardless of whether Christine's death is an inevitable event, resurrecting the living, or playing with time, is itself a chestnut out of fire. The death and resurrection of one person causes the entire universe to collapse is extremely romantic. I was just expecting Marvel to finally be unhappy with the family, and the last episode gave me a slap in the face: You think too much.

The whole "what if" is like this, like a monotonous outdated creature, making jokes from time to time and getting a little angry. But aside from a few jokes, it doesn't look like a living person at all. It has absolutely no diversity, no innovation, no breakthrough. The food is tasteless, and it is not a pity to abandon it now.

Marvel looks at your high point, and then jumps hard, trying to make you cool. But people's pursuits are not just mindless, otherwise, why would you find another person to fall in love with, it's enough to be high.
