The majority of What Ifâ¦? episodes often present fun variations of familiar Marvel Cinematic Universe characters in different situations. This season’s fifth episode, “What If⦠the Emergence Destroyed the Earth?,” is not one of those. Here, Riri Williams and a resistance group go up against Mysterio on a decimated planet, and she moves the Watcher to do something he hasn’t before. Plus, after years of being ignored, the events of Eternals and the fossilized corpse of a Celestial in the ocean are becoming very important. Previously, What Ifâ¦? Season 3, Episode 2 dealt with Agatha stopping Tiamut and taking its power. Captain America: Brave New World centers on adamantium being discovered on the Celestial’s remains, and President Thunderbolt Ross’s interest in it.What Ifâ¦? now offers a look at what would have happened if the Celestial had been born as planned, destroying the planet in the process. Surely, defying all known physics, humanity isn’t immediately killed. While the planet broke apart, the atmosphere remains around floating continent-sized islands and clouds of geological and manmade detritus drifting between them. What’s left of society is run by a horrifying version of Quentin Beck, who gained control of Stark Resources. Save perhaps for the one populated by zombies, this is the most hopeless reality What Ifâ¦? has introduced â and that’s the point.In Wakanda Forever, Riri gets to be a carefree and excited superhero working with Shuri and the others. This iteration of the character has nothing to be happy about, and she finds no joy in becoming a superhero. Hers is a desperate struggle to survive. Even if she is successful in dismantling the despotic regime of the Iron Federation, there is little hope that life will get better. It’s enough to make viewers wonder if her battle against Mysterio is even worth all the effort. Again, this is what the What Ifâ¦? that the storytellers want people to ask.
