Yeah and there are plenty of rumors flying around that Captain Carter will make the jump to live action in some form or another. So making What If animated was probably the safest way of introducing the world to the multiverse without having to make all those multiverse movies to explain the characters if and when they actually do show up in live action at some point.
IDK the weather is clearly spring. You can see how everything is in bloom. Ohio weather isn't like that in winter.
The Multiverse has always existed. The Sacred Timeline was just a collection of realities that followed the same baseline although they had a few differences, for example, the main divergence in Classic Loki's timeline was that he survived, howsoever, the Nexus Event was Classic Loki deciding to reveal he was alive when in the main timeline he had not survived.
Loki takes place immediately after Avengers: Endgame. Loki is about an alternate timeline Loki from that film.
For sure, most of your post I completely got from watching. I guess what bugs me is how...early...that feels when other things that come after don't seem to be bothered by that. I guess it just feels off, if I were watching chronologically, the finale of Loki is like an event that just sits there...show after show, film after film, until they finally deal with it. Maybe it will make more sense when NWH and MOM come out, but it just feels like a major event that just hangs for a long time.
What If...? kinda deals with it too.
Oh I know, I have a guide to watch for those I mentioned in my second question. I move the Captain Marvel and Ant-Man and the Wasp scenes to later as I also do with the Black Widow scene. They all spoil major moments.
Who's to say it doesn't take some time for Strange or others in the Sacred Timeline to feel the repercussions of the new multiverse at a noticeable level.
It is clear to me that this first reality doesn't branch off from the MCU itself but from another reality similar to the MCU that existed in the Sacred Timeline. This MCU V.2 followed the same path of the established script of the Sacred Timeline despite Red Skull finding the Tesseract years later because Steve Rogers would still become Cap but Carter deciding to stay is another.
Thanks for the response. I'm not sure that necessarily holds water though...Your Old Man Loki comparison isn't necessarily the same. Old Man Loki's universe was identical to Loki's up to his 'death,' OML lived out his life in isolation (either A. because that's how He Who Remains orchestrated it or B. Thanos' killing half of Asgard was a 'apocalypse' event and thus the deviation wasn't apparent to the TVA...or both?) Everything actually played out the way that it was supposed to until he decided to return and caused the Nexus event, so everything was the same UNTIL the Nexus event. However, in Captain Carter's reality, with Red Skull not finding the Tesseract until later there is a change BEFORE the Nexus event, which doesn't necessarily make sense given what we know.
Was there anything that flat-out said that scene was 1943? Watching the episode, I thought it was flashing back to 1942 and the SSR just became aware of him in Norway with the Tesseract a year later.
Rewatching What If...? Uatu just confirms what I was saying "But in an another universe, a single choice created a whole new hero. [...] There. That's the moment that created a new universe."
