A lot of people got upset about this episode erasing Strange Supreme's redemption, to which I can only say, WHAT redemption? He was willing to go along with the fight against Infinity Ultron just because he had nothing better to do and still made Uatu beg for his help, and the team also included Killmonger, who was perfectly willing to help them out until he suddenly wasn't. The best I can figure is that Benedict Cumberbatch is one hell of an actor and makes Strange Supreme's anguished regret at the end of his own episode so heartrending that you want to believe he's can get better. And his motivation here absolutely makes sense with everything else we've seen from him. I also just have to laugh at anyone who actually believed that the MCU would create an original female Native American superhero and then immediately turn her bad offscreen with no explanation. I have absolutely no idea what that ending means for Season 3; is Peggy going to be a co-narrator or something? But it is coming much sooner than this one and we already have a quite enticing preview clip, and the new trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine very much seems like it might tie in.

I think my favorite of the season was the Blade Runner Nebula episode, largely because of my love of that film and Nebula herself. But this whole season was packed with fantastic episodes; none of them were weak. I do like to hear that the Kahhori episode was your favorite of the season. Yes, Peggy and Uatu have developed a beautiful friendship. It is quite easy to predict that Kahhori did not turn evil, and thankfully they don’t stretch that out much. Darth Strange back at it was wickedly delightful to see. I see Ryan commented over people’s surprise and/or they were upset about that. The situation is quite simple. A man allied himself with the guardians of the multiverse so that they can prevent the universe’s collapse. This does not mean that the man has become heroic himself, nor that he has abandoned his quest for Christine to be returned to him. I love throughout how Peggy does try to make Darth Strange listen to reason. My own quip when he was likewise trying to win her over to his cause was, “Strange, she’s probably seen Revenge of the Sith. She knows the whole learn to use the Dark Side to be able to save your loved ones type deal isn’t going to pan out the way you think it is.” I would certainly hope that he didn’t get around to killing any younglings. The entirety of the big battle was excellent. As I said on youtube, Jess, you made me smile all throughout with every single reaction you had. I share the love of the Hela scenes. Kahhori taking out Killmonger lickety-split, was a “...Well, goddamn.” moment. It was so great when Peggy faced the temptation, and Hayley superbly sold Peggy’s resolve. Similarly, Benedict was again fabulous as Darth Strange. Peggy and Kahhori fighting Strange with the powers combined is some of the best climactic action of any MCU property. I reiterate that I loved all your reactions to it. Lovely little touch that Darth Strange DID succeed, though he erases himself in the process. Another small highlight was your joy upon discovering that Peggy has seen Jurassic Park. I wish we had more of this show to share, but for now, this has been lovely sharing this show with you, Jess. I await sharing the future seasons with you, just as I await when Marvel Mondays become Rick and Michonne Mondays. Until then, thank you, Jess, for the lovely time with this season of What If...?

Like you said, Darth Strange still being villainous tracks well. I too assume that fans’ love of Benedict, combined with his skill as an actor probably got people thinking he turned a new leaf. I’d be very surprised if anyone bought Kahhori abruptly turning evil for reasons. I’m on board with anything in the future seasons, and I’m perfectly happy to wait and see what happens.

Strange’s end here is pretty much exactly what I’d been predicting for Miguel in Beyond the Spider-verse, so now I’m wondering if that’s way off if they were allowed to do it here (word is the first season had to drop an episode about the Guardians of the Galaxy since by pure coincidence it was too close to the actual script for Guardians 3). Regarding Jurassic Park, you’ve got to wonder if Peggy ever thought “Why does this computer guy look like a young Fury?”

I could see the end of Miguel’s storyline having a thematically similar ending, I agree. I still haven’t seen Guardians 3. Yeah, Peggy would do a double take seeing Ray in Jurassic Park. Curious how she would react if she saw Coming to America.
