Marvel Studios recently teased more about the villain of its upcoming Marvel Zombies show, hinting that the monstrous Scarlet Witch could receive a new codename. It’s a title that will likely only be used by the show’s protagonists, a group of human survivors that include Shang Chi, Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop, Red Guardian, and more. The series is a spinoff from an episode of the premiere season of the animated series What If…?, which looks across the multiverse to watch divergent timelines unfold within the MCU. The series had some incredibly fun ideas, such as Star-Lord T’Challa and Captain Carter. Marvel Zombies, which took more from classic George Romero cinema than the comic from which it takes its name and logo, wasn’t one of them.Marvel Zombies by Robert Kirkman, Sean Phillips, Randy Gentile, and June Chung is an incomparably bleak variant of Earth-616’s brightest self taken to its grossest, silliest extremes. Marvel Zombies, the show, however, seems to be something much less. In What If…?, the premise wasn’t used to explore twisted variations of more famous faces or create stories that could only exist in its hero-infested world. Instead, it more simply seemed like a par-for-the-course zombie survival setting in which to drop familiar characters. But without star power like Spider-Man and Black Panther holding it up, Marvel Zombies may not be more than a few superpowered scraps between plots that have been tired since the 2010s. The comics featured originality in its characters, focus, and even comedy, and the animated series may end up wishing it pulled more from its source material.In the Marvel Zombies Vol. 1 hardcover, Kirkman admits thinking he went too far with the first issue after horrifying Director Steven Spielberg. But when Marvel loved the gory content, Kirkman made it his mission to cross a line in the series. Never succeeding, he instead crafted ironic humor in juxtaposition to an incredibly grim surface, similar to Evil Dead or A Nightmare on Elm Street. It was smart, unique, schlocky horror that reveled in taking every chance it could to cause stress, shock, and squicks. Kirkman elevated Marvel Zombies through fun twists on tired formulas and crass horror humor, not for fun, but because he needed to. After creating The Walking Dead, Kirkman understood the redundancy of another straight survivor story and didn’t agree until the zombie focus was suggested. Even at its earliest stage, Marvel Zombies knew it needed to do more than just answer the question of, “What if Captain America ate people?”
