We had Zombie Wanda vs Hulk but instead of seeing it we move to the next scene. And zombie Thanos, I mean damn you can't leave it at that point. Hope there is a follow up to this episode or something.

Episode 5: A very good animated episode with conflicting logic, some unneeded casualties, a Hulk who's not in control anymore (3/4 in) and a few bunch of heroes who are "depasse" by the events.

Very good development up until the void ending, badly needing a part two.

Throughout the series, the tone has been shifting more towards a serious and somber place. I expected the tonal shift to continue, but in this episode it just kinda back pedaled a bit. It feel like it wants to be serious, but at the same time, every single character throughout is cracking jokes and being the comic relief. This weird conflict of interest was just kind of distracting and annoying for me, personally.

Also, for a series where we've literally seen iron man get murdered, and we literally saw a woman get shot in the head, whenever a death happens, it is always off camera (unless it's a zombie, but that doesn't count). It just feels odd how an episode which revolves around the hero's trying not to die doesn't actually show anything that violent when the show has already proven itself to not be afraid to show death and blood.

The episode also didn't really end with any resolution. Where the doctor strange episode ended with evil strange winning, but losing everything, this episode just sort of felt like it,,, didn't actually finish. There was just so much more to this story that they didn't tell.

Overall, not unwatchable, but still very disappointing.

Thought this was gonna be more like the comic, but this had bad jokes and some things that are nonsense. Why didn't they kill hope before she became a zombie? She can litteraly be more dangerous than ant-man. And the ending is like they finished hurry in the middle of the episode.

I really love the concept of What if? Zombies!? I also think there are moments here that live up to its potential, but on the whole I can't help but feel a little disappointed. There are (expectedly) a ton of deaths in this episode and almost all of them could have felt impactful and emotional but most are ruined by the addition of a comedic one liner, it just really clashes with the darker theme and ending. Speaking of the ending, you can't just leave us with zombie Thanos! The coolest idea in the episode is negated to a cliffhanger that may never get resolved! Overall, I can't hate this episode. The animation is as always, very solid and the voice acting is also brilliant. I like the structure of the story, fitting very much into the MCU as well as the zombie sub-genre and the music was particularly good this episode. That's about it. Lots of good but a few things that could have really made it great that were unfortunately missing. Still, a decent 8/10. Thanks for reading my review!

When you didn't think she was badass enough, here she is: Zombie Scarlet Witch!

This was a great episode. The teamups, the jokes, Kurt finally back (MCU needs more Kurt).

Also, the ending with Zombie Thanos looks really frightening, and it will be interesting to see what happens next week.

Finally the lot thickens and my interest piques.

For the first time we ask a "What if...?" question and I like the answer. Actually, not that I love seeing my favourite heroes die, but this scenario makes sense and makes me wish for a full movie based on this question. I am so curious what happened upon their arrival in Wakanda. What would zombie Thanos do. And how would the end of this universe come about.

I 'hope' (there I go with my dad puns too, haha) to see/find out the continuation of this story sometime in the near future.

The MCU is known for its comedy and honestly a lot of the time its fine because the films usually don't have a really dark tone. Now Marvel Zombies is known for its dark tone so its strange how this episode at points felt more comedic in parts.

The episode highlights the issues with the typical MCU formula and how it doesn't work for this type of story.

Now, I'm not saying this episode was a complete joke fest but the fact that a lot of the character deaths are followed by jokes just feels wrong especially when main characters that are close friends with the non-infected characters. For example, Hope blowing up Sharon was really cool but then its followed by a funny but also very out of place joke. Happy goes out with a joke which at least understandable since Happy is typically a comic relief character but he's still important, he deserved a better death and all of the characters did.

For the record, I'm fine with some jokes in a serious setting because it makes sense if they're used as a way for the characters to calm themselves down but they never connote that other than with Spider-Man. Spider-Man is very upbeat in this episode but his reasoning is good and I understand it.

In terms of any positives, I did like Vision feeding Wanda people as it shows how far he would go for her, similar to how far she went for him. However, this part of the episode gets ruined by Antman joking all throughout emotional moments. He felt like an excuse to have comic relief.

Finally, the whole episode felt very rushed due to the limited runtime of these What If episodes. The ending was also really rushed but at the least seeing zombie Thanos was neat. Having this be set during the Infinity War times was cool.

Overall, this episode was sadly very flawed.

I mean, it's Marvel Zombies. How hard is it to pull off? Apparently very.

The first 10 minutes are awful. They are killing their friends and cracking jokes all the while. If last week's episode could take itself more seriously, why this one couldn't?

And can I just say, MCU Spiderman is one of the worst characters in universe. He feels really fake and dishonest. Or maybe he was just really poorly written in this episode, I dunno, but he was really annoying.

Second half was good when suddenly they cared about people dying. Zombie Wanda was very cool. I feel like they could have used the zombie Avengers more. They take care of them too easily.

Awful how the ending was the most interesting thing. I think they should've smashed all of this into 10 minutes and make the ending the rest of the premise. Or just don't put it in there, it throws you off. Like someone waiting until the end of you bday party to say "Here's another surprise", and giving you a peak just before running out of the room with it.

Maybe it's my fault. I expected nothing from last week's premise and loved it, and I expected a lot from this one and didn't love it.

Also, Mark Ruffalo is a terrible voice actor.

It was supposed to be serious, not funny. And it was not even funny, it was an awful attempt of being funny. It felt like there was no stakes at any moment in the episode.
