The sixth episode of Marvel’s What If…? is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia. I’ll be discussing heavy spoilers so if you haven’t seen it or want to avoid spoilers, now’s your chance to stop reading.

Marvel’s What If…? features fan-favourite characters, including Peggy Carter, T’Challa, Doctor Strange, Killmonger, Thor and more. The new series, directed by Bryan Andrews with AC Bradley as head writer and Brad Winderbaum as an executive producer, explores hypothetical stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It focuses on non-canonical stories like what happens if Peggy Carter became Captain Britain and if T’Challa/Black Panther was abducted by the Ravagers instead of Peter Quill/Star-Lord.

Erik Stevens (Killmonger) Saves Tony Stark

Erik Stevens Killmonger saves Tony Stark from getting captured by the Ten Rings in Afghanistan, which means that Tony Stark never becomes Iron Man in this universe.

As a result, Tony hired Killmonger as his chief security officer, which leads to the next major twist…

The Episode References The Fact That Killmonger Actor Michael B. Jordan Is An Anime Fan, There’s Even A Gundam Easter Egg

Tony offers to bring Killmonger’s Liberator drones to life, but designs look terribly familiar to anime-style mechas. Tony outright mentions Gundam, which is what the drone designs sort of look like.

Killmonger: What? I like anime.

Tony Stark: Worst case scenario, we’ll end up with the world’s most expensive Gundam model.

Killmonger Meets T’Challa In The Djalia (The Wakanda Afterlife)

There, T’Challa warns Killmonger that his downfall could be imminent, and he’s right. Shuri and Pepper are already planning to expose him for being behind everything’s that happened.

This is probably one of the best episodes yet, and the highlight is definitely that entire battle sequence between the Liberator drones and Wakanda.

That’s all for this week, folks. Until next week, Excelsior, true believers!
