    EP 135: Marvel’s What If...? Returns—And So Do the X-Men’s Asgardian Shenanigans
    Dec 27 2024
    What if the X-Men traded Cerebro for Mjolnir? This week, we’re tackling one of the wildest "What If?" scenarios ever: What if the X-Men had stayed in Asgard? When Rahne Sinclair decides she belongs with her wolf prince boyfriend, Cyclops takes a vote that splits the team—literally! Loki, never one to miss a chaotic opportunity, rewrites the rules and sends the losers back to Earth. Meanwhile, Storm is out here living her full goddess fantasy, Mirage embraces her destiny as a literal Valkyrie, and Nightcrawler? Oh, he’s swashbuckling his way through the Nine Realms with a grin. This story is a Shakespearean mess of loyalty, betrayal, and mutant drama (just the way we like it).

    Oh, and did we mention What If...? Season 3 just dropped? We’re serving up unfiltered takes on the first episodes, including Agatha Goes to Hollywood. Does it enchant or hex our expectations?

    Mutants, gods, Loki-level chaos—this episode has it all. Ready to answer the ultimate question: Asgard or Earth?

    It’s turkey time with the X-Men! This week, we’re carving into Uncanny X-Men #308—a Thanksgiving classic where the team sets aside the danger to enjoy some much-needed downtime… or at least try to. We’re talking raking leaves, chaotic football games, and Gambit rocking impossibly tight yellow bike shorts (you’re welcome). As Scott and Jean take a romantic stroll down memory lane, complete with flashbacks and emotional revelations, we debate who’d make the ultimate Thanksgiving dinner guest list, which mutant would burn the stuffing, and who’s guaranteed to bring the drama. Plus, we break down how Jean and Scott steal the spotlight during Xavier’s heartfelt speech with their big engagement announcement—cue the mutant mayhem and awkward congratulations.So grab your leftovers and join us for this fun-filled holiday special, where X-Men antics meet Thanksgiving traditions!

    In this pulse-pounding episode, we dissect the explosive finale of X-Men: The End - Book Three: Men & X-Men #6!
