What If…?: 5 burning questions fans need answered from episode 2
By Mark Lynch
What If…? episode 2 left fans with a number of questions of its own.
The first episode of Marvel Studios What If…? gave viewers a new super soldier. Instead of Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter was the one who saved the world, with the Disney Plus show highlighting how one simple moment can change the course of history.
Now, it’s time for episode 2. This one already holds a special place in fans’ hearts as it marks the last time we’ll hear Chadwick Boseman’s voice in a Marvel Studios project. A tear-jerker of a thought, but something everyone is honored to be a part of.
After a very emotional episode, here are five burning questions we need answered after “What If… T’Challa Became A Star-Lord?”.
5. What if…? Thanos
One of the great things about T’Challa being Star-Lord is what he accomplished. He did more in space than he did on Earth in this timeline and among those accomplishments is something that seemed impossible: He managed to make Thanos rethink his plans.
Instead of getting rid of half of the universe’s population, the Mad Titan bought into what T’Challa was doing. And yet, it makes us wonder what T’Challa said to him to change his perspective?
T’Challa is smooth and diplomatic, but this is Thanos. The Mad Titan wasn’t willing to let anything in the galaxy stop him from his mission. Yet, there was Star-Lord. Finding a way to make peace when all someone wanted was war. It would have been nice to hear the conversation that swayed Thanos.
