MARVEL WHAT IF 2x03 Breakdown!! Die Hard Easter Eggs and Animation Details You Missed!

[@TheGamer_MJ]

I like to believe that the line from Clint about the wife telling him not to come home without the toy is a reference to Jingle All The Way

[@xenablossom4682]

I thought that too!

[@marcandin931]

Yuppers

[@joshsweet5441]

Oh definitely!

[@qa649]

Didnt no one know ab his family before that point 💀 since its befor AOU

[@rileyh5284]

So glad it's not just me. Especially the shelves having all the Hawkeyes 😢

[@sttrooper-lt7xp]

9:39 Kate Bishop was right about Hawkeye’s Branding issue

[@ohmaplaymaker]

That was funny and sad at the same time xD

[@WhiteRaven696]

Bernard in accounting is two references in one: a reference to Bernard Stark, Howard’s pet flamingo in Agent Carter Season 2, and Bernard in Accounting from Captain Carter’s reality in the Season 1 finale.

[@peculiarpodcast2754]

Might also be a reference to the elf Bernard in The Santa Clause!

[@Chuck_EL]

Also Happy boxed Matt Murdock's dad Jumping Jack Murdock

[@lfrands]

Nice!

[@chaodck]

Also, Jeffrey Wright's character on Westworld is called Bernard.

[@deadpuppetsociety]

Happy's call sign of Puffin-1 is likely a nod to him voicing Arctic Puffin in Elf.

[@linhlenguyen1749]

Don't skip the end credits to hear the full version of Darcy's song, guys 😂

[@Chuck_EL]

Love Darcy

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

I literally laughed when the needle went into his leg. That's slapstick level absurdity, and I wasn't expecting the story to go that way.

[@honkermuckbonker]

I’m surprised they didn’t try to do a ace ventura joke with it

[@jemcoones2388]

LOVING THIS SEASON SO FAR. I wish there were MORE episodes. JESS, loving your coverage!

[@storysupport]

Jess’ coverage is actually BETTER than the episode in this one.

[@Ultramagnetic808]

I know it was all played for laughs mostly but this episode had some really killer fight sequences.

[@AKCMediaHouse]

"Have you ever had an actual paying job?" Best line of Ep3

[@bensenzo]

Poor Darcy 😅

[@vultan2000]

I think the Watcher’s poem actually says ‘all throughout the tower’ which does rhyme with ‘superpower’ 🤓

[@jaredm8692]

You’re right. The watcher does say tower to rhyme with power. I was wondering if anyone in the comments caught that correction. Great job!

[@kittentalons]

Dang here I was backing Jessica up!

[@TonyVainosky]

What If season 2 has been a lot of fun so far

[@darkneon5637]

Cool

[@monarchia4736]

I don't know, what IF season 2 was a lot of fun?

[@madbradfreeman]

What if What If...? season two was more fun than all the recent Marvel offerings put together?

[@CatherineTandy]

Well the first episode was more scary/dark than fun to me but the title are kinda funny

[@AvisekBanerje]

Yes.. it's better than Secret Invasion, ms marvel etc.

[@newton2105]

13:12. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed the Rolex reference. Such a cool little detail.

[@coverscollection8775]

Who stayed until the end just to hear darcy sing the rest.

[@toonasag]

I did but I couldn't understand the song 😅

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I bet jon Favreau had alot of fun voicing this episode.

[@benellison5668]

Yes, that's classic Werner Herzog banter in there

[@ryubimaru]

Maybe if Hammer had gone with the Sokovia team it would put them on the Avenger's radar, and that did happen in the mainline so we do have a turning point?

[@Nico12420]

They turn Happy Hogan into Hulk Hogan 😂😂😂! This episode is full of puns!

[@Native_Creation]

Exactly, haha

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

I've really enjoyed this season so far and loved this episode!

[@fracturedorb1]

I'm surprised no one made the joke that Happy was standing in the A-Hole.

[@vokasimid5330]

😎😂

[@MarvinMartinez2001]

That oil bloodbath scene felt so Werewolf by Night

[@J.O.R.D]

That's another thing I love about this series, while we sit here and watch different worlds, heroes and stories we wish we had, I think about the similarities that may occur in our main universe, around the time of AoU Tony was working on making a hulk without the anger issues? Tony was willing to create another, possibly after already messing up with Ultron 😂

[@aroncanapa5796]

This was I think the most hulk smash sequence ever

[@yoyomayne]

So glad to see more of the fabulous Jessica Clemons!

[@TheRealValGalstyan]

That overdramatic caterer says the same line that Ned Leads said to distract people on the bus so that Peter could sneak out and help Tony fight Cull Obsidian in Infinity war

[@cesarreinoso2203]

Season 2 better than expected 😊

[@bugalewshrimp4248]

every episode so far has given us a Team at the end of the episodes

[@silverbullet9442]

Great catch. Every episode I wonder how it could tie in to a finale the way season 1 did.

[@JeremiahWarwick-k2r]

These episodes are getting better and better 😂❤🎁

[@robertcollins9575]

Possibly "Bernard in accounting" is a reference to the elf in The Santa Clause.

[@RandoMan07]

This episode was definitely a surprise in terms of what happened in it.

[@darkneon5637]

Nice

[@firerun777]

Wandsworth is the name of the Butler from the Clue movie played by Tim Curry. I'm playing him in a one act play next month

[@rantalmore]

The scene with bruce/Clint and the toy was probably a reference to the movie “jingle all the way”

[@marcusyates3044]

The Watcher: (sighs) Isn't this nice?

[@timtanoboa9416]

11:37 Wow, you didn't even mention W.A.D.S.W.O.R.T.H.'s name origin. It's from CLUE, Wadsworth was the butler, who pretended to be Mr. Boddy and was killed, and the character you know as Wadsworth for most of the story is actually Mr. Boddy in disguise. Also... please tell me I'm not the only person who saw Hulked Out Happy Hogan and got flashbacks from The Amazing Bulk.

[@AnferneeMyers]

why is it specifically a reference to Clue, though?

[@AnDrei-nf5jb]

​@@AnferneeMyersBecause it's an A.I named after a butler like J.A.R.V.I.S

[@AnferneeMyers]

@@AnDrei-nf5jb oooh fair

[@mantismantits9451]

THE AMAZING BULK

[@nm985]

Oh yea that's right! And Clue is one of my favorite movies so it rung a bell.

[@27retrodaze]

Love this season so far... 🤘

[@jakabshaw4127]

Also Hulk Happy, looks like the amazing Bulk

[@toonasag]

This was a fun episode, Happy deserves the spot light 🙌

[@AgentNemitzComics]

Loved this episode!

[@ThePrimeLightning]

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁

[@lady_draguliana784]

10:00 felt there was a Jingle All The Way ref there too! 😸

[@darshakparikh5908]

Darcy going “but I’m adorable” reminded me of the Toads in the Mario movie saying “but we’re adorable!”

[@christianmartell876]

I like happys hulk design

[@TheBuffnessFlips]

9:46 is a nod to Jingle all the way with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@J.O.R.D]

I loved the hulk hogan smash scenes but it really makes me wish our jolly green giant had more time like that

[@kestreldomann2787]

2 things: 1. I think, keyword think that maybe the Sokovian Team thing is a reference to Zemo, we know he was the head of a kill squad, so like... Idk maybe 2. The article is called Science Bros. I'm screaming, thats Bruce and Tony's ship name. We love to see it

[@burneyboys02]

This was definitely an Avengers Christmas treat!!!

[@Ph4ntomHourGlass]

There's also a reference to Bernard in accounting, who was name dropped in the finale of last season.

[@fountainalyssa]

Bernard was the name of Jeffrey Wright’s character in West World.

[@savedgesurvive]

This was a good one, episode 2 so far is the best for me.

[@AgentsingleO]

Watched die hard a few days ago so all references were fresh in my mind

[@gamingsailor5]

Let's go Ross Marquand! very nice actor amazing person met him at a convention back 2022

[@redpanda9367]

All I could see was Happy’s bill go up $50 mil every time he smashed a sentry lol

[@leobee101]

no word about the hilarious darcy song after the end credits?

[@charlesdouglas9019]

I love how much fun you're having Jessica!!!

[@tejida815]

Happy Holidays to you and your family🎄Excellent video!

The Purple Hulk character reminds me of Krunk from the Justice friends a parody of both the Thing and the Hulk.

[@Yorickunderscore]

When the Avengers appear together on screen at the end of the episode it's the first time the whole team shows up since Endgame.

[@BonnieRe52]

Merry Christmas Jessica and Mom. Merry Christmas NR!

[@WilsonVega]

Thank you for doing this during the holidays. Much appreciated.

[@andrewd1722]

Merry Christmas Jess’ Awesome Mom

[@silverbullet9442]

I know this probably shouldn't be done with every series but I'm loving the treat of an episode every day thus far. What a great bonus for my holiday break.

[@Marianojoey]

This one was a very fun one. :D Happy "Hogan"lidays. :D

[@KingCrushyNoah]

Happy holidays Jessica and Jessica's mom!! Amazing work as always :D

[@colebryan9113]

at the beginning, does the watcher not say "twas the night before christmas, and all through the tower", not "all through the town"? the subtitles on disney+ say "town" but i'm pretty sure it sounds like he's saying "tower", which would make more sense with the rhyming scheme!

[@matikman04]

Love it when Jessica is here ❤❤

[@rhadamanthus2601]

"Who's your best friend? ...SPANDEX!" Nice reference to SHulk.

[@stikboi2115]

1:20 He actually does rhyme, he doesn’t say town, he says tower, which ends up rhyming with superpower

[@kittentalons]

Thanks for doing these Jessica! We back you up about the rhyming at the beginning, that was great 😹

[@sasansh_8]

3:39 THANK YOU JESSICA

[@eagoraps]

The does thyme, he says "All through the tower" which rhymes with superpower

[@captainbirch2.079]

Honestly, when the episode started, i expected it to end the other way around, with hammer taking the hulk serum and happy in the hulkbuster, i was surprised it was the opposite

[@odjknisimmons9727]

He can’t be Hulk Hogan so how about Happy Hulk-gan ?

[@lanceforlife5166]

You mean The AMAZING BULK

[@andieg8615]

Merry Christmas to you, your fam, and the NR team :D

[@nardo9115]

The part when Hammer and his guys came out the elevator also reminded me of when the joker did it in The Dark Knight

[@mooky2919]

Merry Christmas momma Clemons! When Happy Hogan was destroying the Cetry Bots it felt like when the Hulk tossed around Loki. “Puny God” scene.

[@harryevans1111]

Happy’s voice, mouth grin, and facial features kept making me think of Two Face from the animated Batman series.

[@mvtt.y]

Merry Christmas to the NR team !! 🎄🙏🏻❤️

[@DavidS.Pumpkin]

I had no idea that the song had a total of 239 birds 🐦 Bird up!

[@moonpet786]

Happy Christmas 🤶 peeps

[@old_school_mk01]

The scene with the Action figures is a refrence to "Jingle All the Way"

[@joeblankenship377]

For a minute, I was worried they were gonna go the whole episode and not say "Hulk Hogan".

[@jondthree]

Lulu ur doing a great job. Love your energy!

[@gamingsailor5]

I would want a Clint figure because Hawkeye is amazing

[@Chips1225]

Merry Christmas Momma Jessica!🎄

[@lovetodrawstufff3644]

I love how it was happy that got the hulks blood I wasn't expecting that at all

[@robertjackson2913]

The way he flies into the red room is INDEPENDENCE DAY-ISH

[@jasonnewby4908]

Am I the only one that got Jingle all the way vibes with the scene with the dolls?

[@BoomSlang001]

💯 Right away. Then it clicked that they're doing more than just Die Hard. I loved all of the references and nods in this episode.

[@MisterBooSky]

This may be a reach, but I thought Happy's Hulk looked a lot like Hanover Fist, from the Captain Stern segment of the Heavy Metal movie. Also, when Hulk Hogan saves Hammer on the side of the building, I was reminded of Adventures in Babysitting (a movie with so many Thor references)@@BoomSlang001

[@execuwutie_YT]

i can't believe you literally dabbed on Maria Hill's grave 😢

[@puppeiluv826]

Merry Christmas, Jessica’s Mom!!! ❤ 🎄

[@SiIIy_]

8:52 Janice Lincoln is a member of Mysterio’s crew in FFH

[@ShaKKDiseL]

Thank you Jessica, and MERRY CHRISTMAS Jessica's MoM🎄🎄🎄

[@r.t.643]

Um, actually. . . I believe there was more Darcy in the credits, that you failed to mention.

[@pibby837]

Merry Christmas

[@dani.p]

Merry Christmas, Jessica and Jessica's mom!

[@astrojake93]

I can’t be the only who noticed “missable detail #5” that was used for everything, right?

[@madabrams96]

I saw that and wondered too!

[@andrewd1722]

Hey Jessica, you’re Awesome!

[@syedshahar]

Great job Jessica

[@JamalReid-zk8uv]

what if s2 is going good so far can't wait for the other ones

[@jeremyh841]

I loved all the hoilday puns in this episode! So they have two Hulk on the same team?? bruh that is so unfair and cruel😂

[@littleazzyhaven]

Merry Christmas Jess!!

[@weirsgarage]

loved this episode

[@idkthisisjustaplacewhereal8120]

fun fact this is the only episode where the watcher didn't mention that this universe is different. like for example. "in this universe [Insert something here]".
