So Tony is dead, Clint lost an arm, took a sentry arm, and had it installed... somehow. Still not sure how that works. Frankly I don't know how any of these robot arms work other than COMICS!

Is the Watcher telling all these stories at the same time, or does he have variants?

It seems that Ultron wouldn’t have been able to enter Party Thor’s timeline until after Uatu got beaten up and eventually joined up with Strange Supreme.

[@jonathanoviedo118]

I was wondering the same thing

[@castertr0y357]

Seeing as how he has access to the multiverse, I think he's a singular being, much like the TVA is a singular entity that exists outside of time/multiverse. He likely exists outside of time, and can therefore view the events of any universe at any time, which is why he was able to tell the story of the Thor party universe before Ultron came to his realm. Also, Ultron now has access to this realm, and is likely able to traverse the multiverse to whatever point in time he wishes in a particular universe. In actuality, it just makes for a really cool overarching story where they take a bunch of seemingly unconnected stories and then smash them together.

It will probably add nothing but since you mentioned making a video about the infinity stones working in different dimensions, I will only say that in end game they took stones from different timelines and they still managed to work during both Tony's and Bruce's snap. Also I would like to add, if I really need to specify an all together different dimension, I would like to remind you of Dr. Strange using the time stone in the dark dimension. I believe the watcher is observing all timelines from a certain dimension that allows those observations, hence why Ultron could break through and still use the stones, whether the TVA is in an altogether different timeline or in the quantum realm or idk, I think it's in a place that totally negates magic or anything of the sorts hence why the stones are powerless only in that place (maybe through a different magic altogether). But the real point I want to make is that the Infinty Stones working outside their original dimension is nothing new lol. Love ur videos btw, keep up the great work!!

The mirrors the Watcher is looking through is very reminiscent of DC’s reality wall that Superboy Prime watched through and punched to changed reality.

They made Clint a Bad Ass! And Dude did a damn good James Spader impression too! Guys got skills and Job as an Impressionist waiting for him Should his acting career go bad

[@Vasharan]

0:53 If you compare Clint's arm to the Ultron drones, they look almost exactly the same. I think it's implied that he and Nat had to scavenge what parts they could in the post-apocalypse, and that included body parts from their enemies.

"And we never saw the Ark of the Covenant again. Ever." - lmao

Wild theory- in the episode Voltron had defeated Galactus and absorded the power cosmic. He was using what he learned from Galactus and that scene was foreshadowing Galactus devouring worlds in future movies.

"Decimated" Xandar. Decimate = 10% of. So 90% should still be intact.

UntraVision slices Thanos like a birthday cake. Hulk fans to Thanos fans: See how it feels now?

[@Mannyr-bu7qv]

The Ultron we've all been waiting for and we deserve!!!

Hi Ryan, Multidimensional team-ups reminds me of two Marvel things: The "Timequake!" story from Vol.2 of What-If, and of course the long running series "Exiles".

Not hearing enough from Doug. Suit up, Doug; you’re starting. 🐶 🐕

Love you breakdowns as always but the Watcher transforms into his armor and no shout out to the Kirby krackle

[@shariqnishat1116]

The guy in pineapple print t-shirt at 12:37 also appeared in ep07 with party Thor

Notice the Independence Day reference when Asgard is destroyed.

[@jesterc.6763]

5:02 Gamora is there but the soul stone has been acquired, maybe Nebula was the one sacrificed?

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Good episode. One of my favorites .

[@jostrick]

Asgard destruction mirroring Independence Day? Looked a lot like it.

[@daraokie1157]

I just realised now that clints robotic arm looks awfully similar to the ultron bot arms.

[@IndistreeHolla]

Red Guardian indeed did use his shield in the movie.

[@creativeprop540]

Best episode yet

[@CrystalCandyPony]

The Infinity Stones work because Ultron is still linked with his own universe, By shattering into the space between universes. and as we've seen in the Loki series the Tesseract only lost it's power after the portal Hunter B-15 and Loki came through closes, thus severing it's link to it's reality. This is why his Infinity Stones behave as though their still in his universe.

[@soundninja99]

This episode was perfect. I missed Spader and that cliff hanger was annoying, but that's my only issue with it. This entire series is amazing

[@xero1048]

I would’ve liked seeing Ultron use the stones in more interesting ways than just “big laser beams”. He did use the space and reality stones very very briefly, but it’d be nice seeing them used in combination or individually

[@smartalimka]

he used mind and space stones as well. Also purple beam is the power stone i think

[@creamunicorncookie1408]

The Season or Series Finale of this has to be "What If Thanos Snapped THE OTHER HALF of the Multiverse"

[@moreorlesto]

Is it possible the red cape is a nod to the Crimson Cowl identity Ultron uses in the comics (and is kinda' seen briefly in "Age of Ultron")?

[@s2cardinal]

Nice Twin Peaks reference!
