First things first, props to Disney+ and Marvel Studios' What If…? for a "Party Thor" episode that was definitely more Captain Carter & T'Challa, Star-Lord, and much less murdered Avengers, a demonic Doctor Strange & Marvel Zombies That said, we can't help feeling this week is another turn towards the dark side as Ultron gets the[...]
