This entry explores What If\u2026?

Shaking bad help is even more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong><em>What If\u2026?<\/em><\/strong> Episode 2, the choice that splits the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline from the new Disney+ divergent reality is made by Yondu (<strong>Michael Rooker<\/strong>). Rather than fetching Peter Quill for Ego himself, as was revealed in <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol<\/em>. <em>2<\/em>, he sends his Ravager lackeys. They look for the nearest foreign energy source on Earth, locate Wakanda\u2019s massive Vibranium mound, and kidnap a young T\u2019Challa (<strong>Chadwick Boseman<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>The boy from 1988 scoffs at his royal protection. T\u2019Challa loves his father, but he wants to know what\u2019s going on outside the Golden City\u2019s hologram borders. The world calls for him, and the universe answers.<\/p>\n<p>As Yondu did before, he accepts T\u2019Challa into his fold. Once upon a time, he was tempted to deliver on Ego\u2019s demands, but upon seeing the Celestial\u2019s murderous <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>etites, he ditches the paycheck in preference for fatherhood. As much as <em>What\u2026If?<\/em> Episode 2 reveals how T\u2019Challa\u2019s presence in space would radically alter history, it also reaffirms Yondu\u2019s desperate desire to be a dad. Whether a young Peter Quill or a young T\u2019Challa, Yondu was always going to educate that child in the ways of galactic piracy.<\/p>\n<p>However, where Peter Quill leaned into Yondu\u2019s scoundrel tendencies, T\u2019Challa\u2019s righteous heart infects his new stepfather\u2019s wobbly morality. At first glance, the <em>What If\u2026?<\/em> Ravagers have made the universe a much safer community. T\u2019Challa\u2019s Star-Lord is more Robin Hood than Ned Kelly. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com\/wiki\/Morag\">On Morag<\/a>, he nabs the orb not for profit but for societal gain, and he makes a friend in the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TChalla_is_the_Superior_Star-Lord\"><\/span>T\u2019Challa is the Superior Star-Lord<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Peter Quill\u2019s Star-Lord is a nobody, but T\u2019Challa\u2019s Star-Lord is a famous criminal philanthropist. When Korath (<strong>Djimon Hounsou<\/strong>) spots T\u2019Challa\u2019s mug, he goes full gaga fanboy. They scuffle for a bit, but when the dust settles, Korath is suddenly a Ravager, the new guy on the team.<\/p>\n<p>And Korath is not the only wretched soul converted by T\u2019Challa\u2019s good heart. Thanos (<strong>Josh Brolin<\/strong>), the formerly Mad Titan, has joined as well. What? Why? How? Easy. All it took was a little conversation with T\u2019Challa, and Thanos was convinced that his genocidal Gauntlet plan was foolish. Although, the idea still tickles his fancy, and he can\u2019t help but bring it up during whatever trivial conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, not every corner of the galaxy is better off with T\u2019Challa in it. Earth seems to have suffered some treacherous blows without T\u2019Challa\u2019s Black Panther guardian. Never mind the lies Yondu told about Wakanda to keep T\u2019Challa by his side. The Collector has enhanced his collection with Thor\u2019s Mjolnir, the Gauntlet, and Korg\u2019s severed arm amongst many other Avengers-significant items. While T\u2019Challa robbed from the rich to give to the poor, the trinket-obsessed ganger boosted his worth.<\/p>\n<p>Impressive, but not enough. All The Collector manages to accomplish is gain T\u2019Challa\u2019s attention. And the combined effort of Star-Lord, Yondu, Nebula (<strong>Karen Gillan<\/strong>), Thanos, Howard the Duck (<strong>Seth Green<\/strong>), and the rest of the Ravagers drops The Collector in his place, exposing him as nothing more than a bottomfeeder.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chadwick_Bosemans_Star-Lord_Triggers_Mixed_Emotions\"><\/span>Chadwick Boseman\u2019s Star-Lord Triggers Mixed Emotions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em>What If\u2026?<\/em> Episode 2 climaxes with Ego visiting a lowly adult Peter Quill, slaving away at a Dairy Queen. Could the annihilation craving daddy achieve his diabolical wants without the Guardians of the Galaxy to protect him? We don\u2019t know. The Watcher (<strong>Jeffrey Wright<\/strong>) tells us that\u2019s a story for another day, or possibly another episode. We\u2019ll have to wait on that.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Black Panther<\/em> film is an absolute bright spot amongst the MCU filmography. Watching T\u2019Challa as Star-Lord is a curious proposition. First, as Chadwick Boseman\u2019s final performance as T\u2019Challa, it\u2019s an extremely emotional experience. Even isolated as a voice, Boseman commands our attention and brings joy and glee to the character that\u2019s normally far more burdened as a Wakandan ruler and a grieving son.<\/p>\n<p>Second, we love T\u2019Challa as Black Panther. It\u2019s fun to see him as Star-Lord, but this is not where we would prefer him to be. Yes, our love is validated through the galaxy\u2019s betterment. Of course, T\u2019Challa\u2019s presence amongst the stars would make it a more habitable place for everyone else. Where he goes, sentient life improves.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Quill\u2019s charm is that he\u2019s a goof. Where he steps, he blunders, but he also somehow survives and saves the day. Peter is a stand-in for our sorry humanity. We find hope in him through failure, and in failing again, and failing better.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TChalla_is_Superman\"><\/span>T\u2019Challa is Superman<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>T\u2019Challa is everything we wish we could be but know we cannot achieve. He\u2019s Superman, a beacon to aspire toward. Someday, if we keep failing better, we may be able to<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/1003216-you-have-given-them-an-ideal-to-aspire-to-embodied\"> join him in the sun<\/a>. It\u2019s a fantasy but a necessary one.<\/p>\n<p><em>What If\u2026?<\/em> Episode 2 asserts our affection for both characters. It\u2019s bittersweet. This is not how we wanted our final adventure with Chadwick Boseman to go, and it\u2019s not the Star-Lord we would choose to take over the franchise. But that\u2019s not what\u2019s happening either. This is a love letter, a send-off.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what choices were taken, T\u2019Challa operating in the universe is a good thing. He improves everything around him. <em>What If\u2026?<\/em> Episode 2 concludes, and we\u2019re struck by the mighty big shoes Chadwick Boseman has left others to fill. Who can replace T\u2019Challa in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/film\/news\/michaela-coel-black-panther-2-marvel-1235024815\/\"><strong><em>Black Panther<\/em><\/strong>: <strong><em>Wakanda Forever<\/em><\/strong><\/a>? The answer is self-explanatory, \u201cNo one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is someone who can reach for that Superman place in the sun. Shuri? A resurrected Killmonger? Sure. The who is not important. T\u2019Challa\u2019s belief in humanity \u2014 or better yet \u2014 his belief in life, is critical. The fight he declares on others\u2019 behalf is what defines him as a hero. Star-Lord, Black Panther, those are just costumes. His righteous nature is his superpower. Adopt that, and someone else can make the universe a better place in his stead.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>What If\u2026?<\/em> Episode 2 is now <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyplus.com\/series\/what-if\/7672ZVj1ZxU9\">streaming on Disney+<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre><code>    Related Topics: Chadwick Boseman, Marvel Explained, What If\n    &lt;!-- AUTHOR BOX --&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"gray-bg p-4 border small mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center text-md-center\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/brad.jpg\" class=\"circle img-fluid\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\">\n            Brad Gullickson is a Weekly Columnist for Film School Rejects and Senior Curator for One Perfect Shot.
