4/8/2023 0 Comments Mushroom wars date![]() I can’t even imagine how we ended up with a Vision-Ultron hybrid in possession of the Infinity Stones and, unless this episode gets a sequel, it doesn’t really matter. Unfortunately, like most of the episodes so far, it still ends on a downbeat, one that’s sort of rushed in and not explained. It’s the least What If-like What If…? installment so far. But the divergences shown in this week’s episode are far more than incremental, with an offbeat, cartoonish tone to match. While other comics and shows can be given an official universe “number” like 616 or 1,999,999 and just written off as a huge divergence from what we know, the concept of What If…? is that it shows us incremental changes from the MCU in particular. However, the point has been made repeatedly that this show is technically, in continuity, and not just in the sense that the Marvel Universe consists of many realities and everything is valid somewhere. You could just try to enjoy it at face value, as just a silly story with no larger bearing on continuity. Unlike The Animatrix, Lucasfilm was content to mostly hand over the reins to these studios, creating shorts that differ in tone, style and, most notably, continuity. The list includes juggernauts like Trigger ( Kill la Kill, Promare) Production I.G ( Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Haikyu!!) and Science SARU ( Devilman Crybaby, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!). Visions, premiering this week, is probably the more ambitious of the two, enlisting talent from various Japanese anime studios to create short films about different aspects of the Star Wars universe. Nearly 20 years later, streaming reigns supreme and services like Disney+ seem to be returning to the idea, but bigger and grander with shows like Marvel’s What If…? and Star Wars: Visions. There were direct-to-video features for Chronicles of Riddick, Van Helsing and, the most famous project of them all, The Animatrix. The following contains spoilers for episode three of ' Star Wars: Visions ' and episode seven of ' What If.? 'īack in the days when DVD was king, I remember there was a trend of making animated tie-ins for live-action franchises.
