Featured review
Lots disliked this? but it at least felt like Real What-If Scenario
This was an interesting one. Its 1988 and a tween Peter Quill crashlands on Earth. One of the weird things to start, he like kills 20 people crashing in NYC. But the rest of the episode has no deaths, I just found that odd. I loved the idea that his father destroys his walkman thereby symbolically taking away his sons soul and making him spoiled. If you are a comics fan its enjoyable at least to see the new characters that haven't been in a movie before like Dr. Bill Foster and King T'chaka. I loved how they made Hope this very sexy vivacious woman. When a Giant Bill opens his hand and Hope was reclining with her leg up, that got my heart fluttering. The MCU needs a lot more cheesecake/pinup if you will, it would be very refreshing.
I guess I enjoyed this overall because it was fun to see Ego and Peter at the height of their powers and some of the performances such as Bucky's were so cool. When Peter said "this is why I am called STAR LORD" that was freaking awesome. Come on admit it.
I think too many of these shorts aren't even that What-Iffy like nobody ever thought wow what if Hogan became Purple Hulk or what if Nebula was in Blade Runner but actually getting to see what if Peter was raised by Ego is an actual interesting question.
I am not sure if I like the idea that Peter is now joining some kind of vengeance force to kill whatever is left of Ego though, I wish he had a chance to be a wholesome kid. Overall... I can't understand what people want with this show, you gotta be able to turn your brain off, pour yourself the most unhealthy sugar cereal you can find, and watch episodes like this with a silly grin on your face.
