I was already very excited for the Thunderbolts, but this episode just got me even more excited! David Harbor and Sebastian Stan were both excellent in this episode, and their chemistry was perfect. Going into this season, I was looking forward to this one the most, and I'm happy to report it lived up to my expectations! 9/10 episode this week.
Just something cool I’d like to share. I service some things at the Flying Bark Animation studios here in Sydney which is one of the teams behind ‘What If’ and they where so friendly and nice to talk to. It’s a really passionate team behind this project and they couldn’t help but be so happy with the response on this series from the viewers!🩵
I was already hyped. I am really happy that we got a story about Red Guardian in his prime. This makes me more excited for Bucky and Alexi's screen time together.
What all good buddy cop style movies have in common ,is what I really liked about the chemistry between these two characters ! Which is you always have a straight man and a comedy relief ! And pairing these two up in that formula was genius to do!
Tony’s parents survived thanks to the aid of Mother Russia’s great soldier, and now he and Winter Soldier are buddies. Even though Bucky is captured and taken back to Russia, they might meet again. Red Guardian is now a member of the Avengers. Honestly, this episode was super fun.
I liked this ep a lot anyway, but the shot at the end with Red Guardian joining the Avengers in the classic shot in front of Grand Central is maybe my favorite shot in the history of what if 🤣❤️
Haha surprise how much I enjoyed David Harbour’s comedic performance against Sebastian Stan’s stoic Winter Soldier. Hope this is alluding to how good Thunderbolts will be.
Though red guardian jumps out of a window it is similar to when steve jumped out of the glass elevator. They both land on their shields to brace for the fall. ( it’s a stretch I know)
Funny how Bucky’s move after they jumped was to copy another “Winter Soldier-esque” characters move when Cable(in Deadpool 2) used his metal arm to slow his decent speed grabbing the side of a building while falling. Interesting how the character similarities had me briefly thinking it WAS a Winter soldier move they were calling back to before remembering it was actually Cable I was thinking of. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
The vibranium in their shields absorbs the impact. It is also why their shields should not bounce off things and just drop when they hit something, but we let that go because it looks cool. Let's pretend the outer edge is a different metal or something.
That one was truly the Christmas episode. Red Guardian is basically Super Santa, here. David Harbour just killed it ! Love the Die Hard winks (which is also one of the best Christmas movies in history) at the end.
There’s times where Harbour’s in-between Russian/American accent sounds a lot like Mr. Incredible. I agree with the guys, he could do some amazing voice acting work
i cant tell if its intentional or if its just the art style, but bucky and natasha have very similar facial expressions and quirks they've animated into them like, especially with their eyes/eyebrows
Everything was great except for two things, the fact that the Russians recapture Bucky and the other... Oh boy, the implication that everything turns out the same after Tony's parents never die, and here's the important part, Obadiah Stane fucking dies. This means *takes deep breath* no one is sent to kidnap and kidnap Tony since Obadiah ordered it, so he never becomes Iron Man, Which leads him to not stop fabricating weapons, never getting into the energy business and not putting up a tower in New York, so Loki puts his machine on some other tower to bring the Chitauri, and the World Security Council nukes New York along with the Avengers that cannot withstand something like that, like Hawkeye, Cap, Widow and Alexei if it's implied that he's there, also Kate Bishop (but she hasn't made a wide impact yet so doesn't matter) , and so Hydra inside Shield is never found and project insight, due to the invasion and no opposition is put into effect a lot sooner and Hydra kills everyone who stands in their way, with only Hulk, Thor and Captain Marvel, to worry about, because of the Zola Algorithm, people like Peter Parker and Stephen Strange must've been killed due to their potential to pose a threat, and so Thanos comes to earth he wipes the floor with whatever opposition we have here, decimates half of all life and it stays like that forever. Point is, MCU history would have not turned out to be the way it was at the end of the episode
Don’t know why, but I was convinced this episode was going to be a sequel/continuation of last season’s episode with the 80’s Avengers(with a young Peter Quill fighting his dad). It implied at the end of that episode the Winter Soldier was now going rogue/no longer following orders after choosing to NOT follow orders to shoot a young Starlord, so I assumed it was going to be his conclusion after they implied he had more story to tell(Between the same time period, and Lawrence Fishburn’s Goliath returning, plus the episode’s police checkpoint scene being one of the few clips of this season they were previewing a whole year ago made me think they had always planned it that way. Kinda like how they continued Captain Carter’s story from the first season in season 2). I still really enjoyed it, I’m just surprised how convinced I was it was going to be the other. 😕🤷♂️
Ok, what I don't understand is this: If Stane died, why would Tony end up in the Avengers? Stane ordered his kidnapping which led Tony to Yinsen, kickstarting his origin. Why would the old Weapons manufacturer Tony Stark end up anywhere near being a person inclined to save the World? The most I can see is him becoming a Weapons dealer to S.H.I.E.L.D. But him becoming Iron Man makes no sense.
Yeah Tony and Natasha ending up as members of the Avengers really doesn't make that much sense. I mean Natasha is more believable, its likely the Red Room would've swapped in another Russian spy in Alexei's place, but given Alexei joining S.H.I.E.L.D. at the end of the episode, he would have likely spilled the beans to S.H.I.E.L.D. about that undercover mission, leading to Melina being arrested and Natasha and Yelena being put into child protective services. But yeah, Tony becoming Iron Man doesn't make much sense at all
imo lately this season’s episodes are exactly what i wanted for what if random what if’s that works and feel super epic i love it. And regarding officer Morales im wondering if Miles’s mother became a officer instead of his father in this universe so thats probably why this “side” character was getting a pretty good screen time
Oh snap the bright bridges back. Red guardian falls into his shield out of a glass window like Steve did in cap 2 the winter soldier all though Steve’s was in an elevator
I love the small moments... particularly when they jump out of the hotel window. Alexi jumps far and free, and Bucky snatches him back for a more direct descent. Alexi's legs react accordingly (and comically).
День назад+2
All the first three episodes has something in common, friendship.
"hes so skinny"- you know i was so busy focusing on David Harbours voice that I didn't even notice until greg it- he is NOTICABLY slimmer and more fit because this is essentially a flashback 😂
def my favorite of the three so far!! i wonder if they recorded the audio while filming thunderbolts they just seemed to be really in sync but thats just seb and davids talent
I think a lot of the show is Laura Karpman's music. She'll take any excuse to use Ant-Man's theme. I don't know if she recreated the Winter Soldier scream-theme or if it's just a sound file owned by Marvel but that really sold the December 16, 1991 stuff.
The fair in Cap 1 was in Queens, the real-world World's Fair location. Coney Island is in Brooklyn, and is the place of the Cyclone roller coaster which Bucky took Steve to. Steve and Bucky chat about that before they get on to the train in First Avenger.
This episode was 9.5/10 for me, it's the best episode in S3 so far. Loved seeing Red Guardian in his Prime making friends with Bucky and joining The Avengers. Im surprised Tony still became Iron Man.
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” would be totally different if the Red Guardian was around. Imagine if he’s jealous of Steve and Bucky’s friendship.
Yeah, guys, I'd have to say, Agatha, Kingo and Howard is my favorite ep so far. I love Bucky and Alexei, but it started slow as Greg said. So I'll rewatch for those jewel moment Greg mentoned. Happy Holidays, guys. 👍
This episode really gave me a whole new adoration for David Harbour, his voicework was amazing, but at the same time it really made me sad how much they fumbled his Hellboy.... if only that movie was actually well written, Harbour could not only be the perfect successor of Perlman's Hellboy but maybe even a slight upgrade by making him more comic accurate... real shame
This episode is heavily influenced by Red Heat (1988) with Arnold Schwarzenegger & James Belushi. Red Guardian should be nicknamed The Russian Super Soldier With-A-Mouth. Would like to see his interaction with 'The Canadian Merc' in future MCU projects.
What if..:we took a bunch of pop culture references and put them in a blender? Now the fun begins…the various youtubers will fall over each other to identify the references with a ‘i get all references all the time’ facade.
@ no im not a stripper. I dont go to parties to be fun. I go to parties to have fun. Its a shame you proles just parrot cliches instead of coming up with something original that is thought through and makes sense.
i want this to be main timeline lmao i would love to see him and cap searching for bucky together and sharing friendship stories or him being the father figure he shoulda been to widow i want more alexei in general but this timeline is so cool imo

Wait a min is that Cowgirl Cop Astrid's Voice Actor from Httyd
On his character's way to save RDJ's parents, at customs, David Harbour is an american dude playing a russian dude disguised as an american dude.
😂🤣💛🥂
its like he is the dude playing the dude disguised as another due
Red Guardian doing an American accent is so weird to me! I've never heard it so it's bizarre 😂
Comrade
David Harbour is the new animated RDJ
I was already very excited for the Thunderbolts, but this episode just got me even more excited! David Harbor and Sebastian Stan were both excellent in this episode, and their chemistry was perfect. Going into this season, I was looking forward to this one the most, and I'm happy to report it lived up to my expectations! 9/10 episode this week.
Finally, i always wanted to see Red Guardian in his prime😭🔥
Just something cool I’d like to share. I service some things at the Flying Bark Animation studios here in Sydney which is one of the teams behind ‘What If’ and they where so friendly and nice to talk to. It’s a really passionate team behind this project and they couldn’t help but be so happy with the response on this series from the viewers!🩵
It really is the best format for the next evolution of the comic book experience. I'm still hoping this isn't actually the last season! ❤✌️🔥
I love red guardian playing Tetris at the airport trying to stop the winter soilder
Did this get you any more HYPE for Thunderbolts*??
I am already hyped for every single novie
Yes
I was already hyped. I am really happy that we got a story about Red Guardian in his prime. This makes me more excited for Bucky and Alexi's screen time together.
thunderbolts I heard it's a good solid action movie
No 🤣 But maybe that's because I've lowered my hopes and expectations for the films of the MCU 🤷♂️
What all good buddy cop style movies have in common ,is what I really liked about the chemistry between these two characters ! Which is you always have a straight man and a comedy relief ! And pairing these two up in that formula was genius to do!
It’s sooo damn good, could watch an entire movie of the two 🎉
Tony’s parents survived thanks to the aid of Mother Russia’s great soldier, and now he and Winter Soldier are buddies.
Even though Bucky is captured and taken back to Russia, they might meet again. Red Guardian is now a member of the Avengers.
Honestly, this episode was super fun.
Makes me wonder how he and Natasha would get along
If Steve had just been found, one hopes that Alexi and he chat and discover the true identity of "Coney Island Hero"
BEST EPISODE OF S3 SO FAR,ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
I liked this ep a lot anyway, but the shot at the end with Red Guardian joining the Avengers in the classic shot in front of Grand Central is maybe my favorite shot in the history of what if 🤣❤️
This is getting me hyped for thunderbolts
Winter Soldier and Red Guardian are going for a walk.
A very enthusiastic walk.
😂
Loving everybody including the watcher reaction of not making that cliff
Love the chemistry of Bucky and Alexi sad Bucky sacrifice himself and got recaptured by dreykov
El lado positivo es que como Alexei ahora es un vengador y ya sabe sobre Bucky, ayudará al Cap a encontrarlo y que recuerde quien era de nuevo 😊
I loved the dynamics between alexie and bucky, it has me excited for their banter in Thunderbolts*
Haha surprise how much I enjoyed David Harbour’s comedic performance against Sebastian Stan’s stoic Winter Soldier. Hope this is alluding to how good Thunderbolts will be.
thunderbolts is the dark-horse of Comic book movies next year!
Though red guardian jumps out of a window it is similar to when steve jumped out of the glass elevator. They both land on their shields to brace for the fall. ( it’s a stretch I know)

My favorite one so far! Red Guardian is fantastic especially thanks to David Harbour😂
I’m 99% this is what we’ll see in Thunderbolts* and I’m all for it.
All I hear from the sheriff girl is Astrid from How To Train Your Dragon that's all I can see whenever She talks 😂😂😂
That one was truly the Christmas episode.
Red Guardian is basically Super Santa, here. David Harbour just killed it !
Love the Die Hard winks (which is also one of the best Christmas movies in history) at the end.
Hands down one of the best episodes in all 3 seasons combined... Maybe the best episode this far...
Not hard to be
@@EphOphhaha yea if this is then thats saying something…
Best episode yet
There’s times where Harbour’s in-between Russian/American accent sounds a lot like Mr. Incredible. I agree with the guys, he could do some amazing voice acting work
Red guardian has joined the avengers
This episode is so great to watch BEFORE THUNDERBOLTS
i cant tell if its intentional or if its just the art style, but bucky and natasha have very similar facial expressions and quirks they've animated into them like, especially with their eyes/eyebrows
This show is really a celebration of Marvel Studios and the entertainment industry .
Loved the friendship between Red Guardian and Winter Fox ❤ 🦊
Everything was great except for two things, the fact that the Russians recapture Bucky and the other... Oh boy, the implication that everything turns out the same after Tony's parents never die, and here's the important part, Obadiah Stane fucking dies.

Point is, MCU history would have not turned out to be the way it was at the end of the episode
David Harbour is in both Marvel and DC animation👀
I love this episode ❤ merry Christmas and happy new years hope you have a great one and thank you for all the great content this year🎉
This episode solidified Red Guardian as my favorite hero
Don’t know why, but I was convinced this episode was going to be a sequel/continuation of last season’s episode with the 80’s Avengers(with a young Peter Quill fighting his dad).

I still really enjoyed it, I’m just surprised how convinced I was it was going to be the other. 😕🤷♂️
Santa vs winter soldier 🤣
When it comes to the Red Room, its scams, shams and oh damns.
Ok, what I don't understand is this: If Stane died, why would Tony end up in the Avengers? Stane ordered his kidnapping which led Tony to Yinsen, kickstarting his origin. Why would the old Weapons manufacturer Tony Stark end up anywhere near being a person inclined to save the World? The most I can see is him becoming a Weapons dealer to S.H.I.E.L.D. But him becoming Iron Man makes no sense.
Maybe the real Wenwu kidnapped him
How is Natasha there? Did I miss something and this is supposed to be after their deep cover family thing?
@@reno9821 there are way too many factors to explain how we ended up with the OG avengers in the same setting.
@@reno9821 Natasha was still kidnapped by the Red Room. Not raised by alexie in a pretend family. That is the only difference.
Yeah Tony and Natasha ending up as members of the Avengers really doesn't make that much sense. I mean Natasha is more believable, its likely the Red Room would've swapped in another Russian spy in Alexei's place, but given Alexei joining S.H.I.E.L.D. at the end of the episode, he would have likely spilled the beans to S.H.I.E.L.D. about that undercover mission, leading to Melina being arrested and Natasha and Yelena being put into child protective services. But yeah, Tony becoming Iron Man doesn't make much sense at all
Ngl I LOVE hearing America Ferrera in this episode, hope she may be another character in the MCU!!
imo lately this season’s episodes are exactly what i wanted for what if random what if’s that works and feel super epic i love it.
And regarding officer Morales im wondering if Miles’s mother became a officer instead of his father in this universe so thats probably why this “side” character was getting a pretty good screen time
haven't heard "fartknocker" in AGES lmfao 11/10 episode
Oh snap the bright bridges back. Red guardian falls into his shield out of a glass window like Steve did in cap 2 the winter soldier all though Steve’s was in an elevator
i never thought a weird character like red guardian would be one of my favorite MCU characters but here we are.
Buffoons love buffoonery
Winter Soldier dragon-punched Giant Man off Red Guardians shield... This is the kinda content I live for 😤😂🙏🏾💯
I love the small moments... particularly when they jump out of the hotel window. Alexi jumps far and free, and Bucky snatches him back for a more direct descent. Alexi's legs react accordingly (and comically).
All the first three episodes has something in common, friendship.
Workers of the worlds unite. Red Guardian is a comrade ✊
My fav episode yet of this season for sure! XD
Yes!! Give me more Winter Soldier-Red Gaurdian team up with Thelma and Louise references and less Bollywood dance sequences. Loved this episode!!!
WE ARE HERE FOR ANOTHER ONE!
I m even more hyped for thier banter at thunderbolts 😂😂😅😅
Coy droppin F bombs like Red Guardian droppin Giant Man lol
"Eez Ameri-Can buddy cop show, vyes? Red Guardian strong like US media pun!"
I love it so much. Why didn't anyone tell me this show was so fun?
It's cool that you guys posted this at 11:30 PM late at night, and I have no idea why I'm still awake
Merry Christmas Reejects 🎄
They brought Jeff bridges back. I feel this is their strongest episode so far.
Was wondering who that was was lol. Totally forgot he was in the 1st iron man.
sadly it wasn't Jeff Bridges that voices Iron Monger here, but the guy did a pretty good job
@ meant the character obidia right?
And officially confirmed that he gave up stark data about super serum
Red Guardian is my Everything
Merry Christmas everyone and this episode was great 👌
"hes so skinny"- you know i was so busy focusing on David Harbours voice that I didn't even notice until greg it- he is NOTICABLY slimmer and more fit because this is essentially a flashback 😂
def my favorite of the three so far!! i wonder if they recorded the audio while filming thunderbolts they just seemed to be really in sync but thats just seb and davids talent
Red Guardian Coca Cola❤️
Captain America Pepsi💙
Red guardian, who knew he'll be a really cool character lol
now i'm excited on their interaction on thurnerbolts
This one was so good ❤🎉
Appreciate you guys covering every episode averyday
I think a lot of the show is Laura Karpman's music. She'll take any excuse to use Ant-Man's theme. I don't know if she recreated the Winter Soldier scream-theme or if it's just a sound file owned by Marvel but that really sold the December 16, 1991 stuff.
The fair in Cap 1 was in Queens, the real-world World's Fair location. Coney Island is in Brooklyn, and is the place of the Cyclone roller coaster which Bucky took Steve to. Steve and Bucky chat about that before they get on to the train in First Avenger.
Definitely so far my favorite episode on the series
What’s funnier about the Coney Island reference Is that if you’re from Brooklyn, you know there are lots of Russians in Coney Island.
The kitten line was I hope an Easter Egg for Alpine, Bucky's cat in the comics.
Awesome commentary 😊
Amazing episode.
I loved all three, although Agatha Goes To Hollywood (as a former professional dancer)i unquestionably my favorite. of them all...
I really like this episode. I thought this was the best episode of a season for you right now
I’m going to need a throwback 80s avengers trilogy centered around the vibe of this and last season’s Peter quill episode
Favorite episode so far from season 3
This episode was 9.5/10 for me, it's the best episode in S3 so far. Loved seeing Red Guardian in his Prime making friends with Bucky and joining The Avengers.
Im surprised Tony still became Iron Man.
BEST episode yet,I ABSOLUTELY loved it,the only one I’m not exited for is the Howard the duck one tmrw,and lol the others seem dope
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” would be totally different if the Red Guardian was around.
Imagine if he’s jealous of Steve and Bucky’s friendship.
Yeah, guys, I'd have to say, Agatha, Kingo and Howard is my favorite ep so far. I love Bucky and Alexei, but it started slow as Greg said. So I'll rewatch for those jewel moment Greg mentoned. Happy Holidays, guys. 👍
Loved this episode!!
David Harbour is a gem.
Another stretch but Bucky tells red guardian come on like Steve told Bucky after tossing those guys over the stair railing
Red Guardian doing an American accent is so weird to me! I've never heard it so it's bizarre 😂
Coy casually cussing at the end 😂❤
They bitter give us this as an lego miniature
This episode really gave me a whole new adoration for David Harbour, his voicework was amazing, but at the same time it really made me sad how much they fumbled his Hellboy.... if only that movie was actually well written, Harbour could not only be the perfect successor of Perlman's Hellboy but maybe even a slight upgrade by making him more comic accurate... real shame
KOLE mentioned the Tetris history, you two should react to the movie they made about Tetris with actor Taron Egerton!
This episode is heavily influenced by Red Heat (1988) with Arnold Schwarzenegger & James Belushi. Red Guardian should be nicknamed The Russian Super Soldier With-A-Mouth. Would like to see his interaction with 'The Canadian Merc' in future MCU projects.
The rook I think is obada Stane from iron man
coy locking in crazy after the laughs
So Obadiah Stane betrayed the Starks to the Red Room/Hydra.
The second Marvel CMF series included one for Goliath way before this was released.
I like the first 3 episodes about as much as each other for different reasons.
What if..:we took a bunch of pop culture references and put them in a blender?
Now the fun begins…the various youtubers will fall over each other to identify the references with a ‘i get all references all the time’ facade.
Wow. You must be real fun at parties...
@ no im not a stripper. I dont go to parties to be fun. I go to parties to have fun.
Its a shame you proles just parrot cliches instead of coming up with something original that is thought through and makes sense.
Goliath in the house
Merry Christmas Eve y’all
Wait a min is that Cowgirl Cop Astrid's Voice Actor from Httyd
Love that they went with bill foster to be giant man
i want this to be main timeline lmao i would love to see him and cap searching for bucky together and sharing friendship stories or him being the father figure he shoulda been to widow i want more alexei in general but this timeline is so cool imo
I really hope their chemistry translates to the Thunderbolts* movie
