What If…?: 5 burning questions fans need answered from episode 1

2. What if…? Captain Carter survived

In Men in Black 3, Griffin said, “Where there’s death, there must always be death.” It essentially means that some things were meant to happen. Here, we saw that a Captain was always destined to disappear after saving the day. Now, what if there was no sacrifice. Imagine if Peggy Carter didn’t go to the alternate dimension.

As we saw in episode one, there was a lot of misogyny around the world. Captain Carter saving the world from tyranny had to have had an effect on that. Now, imagine if she was around to see the legacy she had created. There’s no way she would have allowed the injustice of the world to stand. Plus, women all around the world would have had a living role model to look up to and help them fight for their rights.

1. What if…? Red Skull fought Captain Carter

If this writer has one complaint about this episode, it’s that there was no fight between Captain Carter and Red Skull. It feels like everyone was waiting for their inevitable clash. Alas, it was not meant to be and it makes you wonder how the fight would have gone.

Knowing how arrogant Red Skull is, he wouldn’t have taken Captain Carter seriously. That would have been his first and last mistake. As we’ve seen, Captain Carter was more aggressive than Captain America. She would have taken him out a lot quicker. That would have been worth the price of admission.
