It's Thursday, I am writing most of this post one-handed because my cat won't let me stop holding him - apologies in advance for any typos; let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
What If... I Watched Another Episode?

| Via Giphy |
OK, so, I watched episode 5 of series 2 of Marvel's What If...?, titled What If... Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper? and...
Look, I haven't seen the Black Widow film yet (because I have but two eyeballs and one self, and the mountain of content available is never-ending,) so I don't know what's unique to this episode, and what's borrowed from the movie, but that town is creepy, OK? *shudders* I mean...WTF?!
...And we are still entirely ignoring the Queer subtext of this part of the Marvel franchise.
Not just with Steve and Bucky, either: Nat and Peggy, here, are about ready to rent a room and hire a U-Haul, but we're out here pretending they're 'gal pals.' *sigh*
Oh, and Bucky as a senator has a real George Clooney/silver fox thing going #JustSaying.
Shameless Self-Promo Time!
- Over on Medium I talked about the recent shift in Nightcrawler comics canon here...
- ...I talked about the first four episodes of Marvel's What If...? Series 2 here...
- ...or you can see both talky-talks in last week's CWU right here on Dora Reads, here.
- And if you want some FrostIron (Loki x Tony) fanfiction to kick off your year, check out last week's F3 here.
Is the creepy town in the Black Widow film, too, or am I safe if I watch it?
Are Marvel cowards when it comes to LGBTQ+ content? (Clue: yes)
