What If...?: What If... the Watcher Disappeared?

The latest version of the Guardians of the Multiverse plan the ultimate jailbreak: Free Uatu!
This version of the team that Uatu formed at the end of the first season, still including Captain Carter, plus Kahhori, Byrdie the Duck (all grown up), and Storm, Goddess of Thunder (!!!), and minus everyone else, work on freeing Uatu, who is being held prisoner by the other Watchers (although I don't know that they call themselves that; they're listed as Eminence, Incarnate, and Executioner), who seem like jerks. Even with their cosmic powers, though (well, not so much Captain Carter), they're still gonna need a lil' help getting to him, so they call on... Infinity Ultron. (I'd rather call him SuperVision, but nobody asked me.) That's the version of Ultron that got the Infinity Stones and, well, killed everyone; that's right, double Thanos' body count. Think he'll help?

THIS is how you write Storm *correctly*.

Well, now I just want to watch three seasons of Guardians of the Multiverse.
This would be better than most of the recent marvel stuff, tbh.

Meant to refer to the movies and The Marvels were about as close as we get to this and it was a pretty fun.

My only nitpick is that Byrdie sounds an awful lot like Rogue. I can’t be the only one, right?

Once it dawned on me that was adult Byrdie, whoa!

Big jump in time there, I had to check to make sure I heard everything correctly!

Just did a search to see if Byrdie the Duck is a character from the comics, and she isn’t, but apparently her voice actor Natasha Lyonne (love her so much) has an unknown part in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie? Are Byrdie and Mr. And Mrs. The Duck coming to the big screen??
Also, be sure not to Skip Intro on this one! You’ll hear the Eminence’s take on this whole multiverse mishegas.
