I think the answer to that is "Millions of dollars worth of salary".
As passionate as I am about ginger hair (I consider it a deviant fetish to which I wouldn't admit were I posting under my real name, and it's done me no good), I nonetheless enjoyed this episode. It was, at least, a story we hadn't seen, while last week's wasn't significantly different from the movie continuity.I dunno, it seemed the answer to what if T'Challa was in GotG is it would be much the same, but not as good. Also, the series has quickly turned into "Spot the Reference" which is getting annoying. Plus, surely Nebula should have ginger hair? That was the deal breaker, right there!
Rather it means the cartoon was done before the fallout.
Considering all the merchandise with her on it, I would say Disney have definitely got the rights to use her likeness.
The What If comic (especially the second series) started off as interesting explorations of what could happen if one small detail was changed, then ended up just being a series of thin excuses to show the violent deaths of popular characters. I hate to say it, but I feel the telly show could go the same way in time.A barrel of laffs this week. "What if Doctor Strange was shit at magic?" basically. I thought this show was supposed to be fun?

Just back from the cinema, so can I second this. Great adventure, enormous fun, and a great comedy turn from an unexpected returning character from another Marvel movie. Shang Chi was created in the early 70's as a response to the wave of Kung Fu, movies. If you liked those there's lots of entertainment to be had from this, and with dragons.Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: The creation story of Shang Chi, his father Xu Wenwu found the Ten Rings of power 1,000 years ago and through history has been a conqueror and Robber Baron. In 1996 he found Ta Lo a mystical village, but is beaten by it's guardian. Ying Li. They fall in love and have two children, Shang Li and his sister Xiang. Tragedy strikes and Shang Chi is raised to be an assassin, his sister trains in secret. The story is about Xu wanting his children to join with him in a strange quest but things don't go smoothly. Modern style gin battles and those involving mystical weapons abound, well choreographed as are the martial arts sequences. One great fight aboard a runaway San Francisco bus on those hills. We also have a Cthuluesque devourer of souls with it's flying minions who battle a Chinese Flying Dragon (he's the good guy). There's also a faceless "winged wombat" and other mythological beasts. A great adventure. Directed and Co-Written by Destin Daniel Cretton. 8/10.
In cinemas.

I didn't completely dislike the last two episodes of this series, but on the whole, I haven't thought much of it and am not eager for more.And What If...? ended in a big fight! What an easily predictable development! Still, it's the last we'll hear of Chadwick Boseman, so that's quite poignant.

I watched Black Widow too, and it was unexpectedly horrible, real Dr Mengele shit. The nadir was Natasha and Yelena joking about having their wombs forcibly removed. Hilarious, I'm sure.
That was what Scarlet Johanssons issue was that lead to her suing Disney, it was released on Disney+ at the same time as the cinemaI see that's included with my Disney+ subscription already. Didn't take long.
