What If...?: What If... Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

December 23, 2023 7:14 PM - Season 2, Episode 2

Which is to say, what if Yondu handed young Peter over to his father, Ego the Living Planet, as per the original plan? Well, then you might have a gathering of Earth's Mightiest Heroes... of 1988. Can a couple of plucky kids help save the day? Hey, it's the eighties.

The voice actors in this include Michael Douglas, Hayley Atwell, John Slattery, Kurt Russell, Chris Hemsworth, Laurence Fishburne, Sebastian Stan, Atandwa Kani (son of John Kani), and Keri Tombazian substituting for Annette Benning.

Loved this version of the Avengers, that was good to see. But I have a general dislike of actor that plays Peter Quill, and so I dislike the character, who's had more than enough of the spotlight shown on him.

Yes, this is a personal problem, but it is what it is, you know.

Everyone else was fun to see. I didn't know I needed to see an alternate version of the Avengers (Prevengers?), but I'm interested in seeing more of them, their chemistry was very good together.

I really liked this. Hope, of all people, as a kid, saves the day by befriending Peter? Very sweet. Hell, Hank even HUGGED a few times. Also liked how he's "the cranky guy." Michael Douglas sounded like he was really enjoying himself.
