New Streaming: What If...(Marvel) Zombies (Episode 5)

 Can I move to a Universe where I keep on schedule?  Until then, let's see a Horror-themed Episode of...

With so much demand, Marvel had to do Marvel Zombies somehow.

In this Universe, Hank goes to retrieve his Wife from the Quantum Realm, but she's changed!
The infection spreads like a wildfire!

What will happen when almost all of the major Heroes are flesh-eating monsters?!?
A rag-tag group of Characters attempt to find a cure by way of escaping a major City full of Zombies?

Can they save their Universe?

To find out, stream the Episode.
A weird, but pretty fun Episode.  You just kind of have to accept that everything goes wrong for this to work.  Zombies have to overpower and infect nearly everyone.  They can't be ready for any of this.  Do note that thanks to the timeline, Thor and Hulk aren't around.  That sure helps streamline things!  So if you can get all in this concept, it's...pretty good.  They give you key players as Marvel Zombies.  You get a motely crew of Marvel Characters- ranging from Spider-Man to Sharon Carter to Happy Hogan- working together.  People like to complain about how they lean on the same people over and over again to sell the Films.  If you think so (and, to be fair, you aren't completely-wrong), then this should be right up your alley.  For better or worse, this plays out like an action-heavy Zombie Film/Short.  There are some good twists and turns.  I won't SPOIL the End, but I'm curious to see if they address it later.  Is this what people were hoping for?  Given the scale of this, no.  Was that goal reasonable?  No.  Was this also an excuse to sell more Toys?  You tell me.

Next time, we get to a story that changes some big things from the very beginning of the MCU.  How much difference can one Soldier make?  See you then...
