I Watched WHAT IF Ep. 4 in 0.25x Speed and Here's What I Found

Yes, I did skip Episodes 2 and 3. Mainly because those episodes didn't have any significant hidden detail so to speak. And I didn't want to use the title "0.25x Speed" lightly. If you see me using this in the video title, I want it to be worth your time.

The reason why Tony couldn’t make it to the portal is because Jarvis never launched the jet packs on his back for a push

Am I the only one who thinks that this episode has the best iron man suit transitions in the entirely of MCU till date since the first movie.

One detail that you missed: When Tony confronts Valkyrie about her participating in the Death Race as a means to distract herself from her ongoing depression and loss, he related it to the time from Iron Man 2 where he was slowly dying of radiation poisoning and joined a dangerous race just to distract himself from his own ongoing situation.

Here's a Detail you missed: In this Universe, Tony's Shoulder Plates didn't came off to give him extra momentum to go back to earth. That's probably why he didn't make it to earth before the portal closed.

The reason why Tony's helmet didn't come is probably because the grandmaster cut it off. Usually when Tony opens his helmet, only the yellow part opens up and the red parts stay as is, but when the grandmaster was handling the face mask, it had the yellow part surrounded by a bit of red indicating that the mask was forcibly cut off and not removed properly like Tony does.

I think it's great to put Tony to participate in races, we must not forget that he was in a race in Iron Man 2 and he was a driver and collector of many cars, very good episode, the season is quite solid at the moment

Tony: "Time to go home, Pepper is waiting for me" Korg: "More of a salt man myself" 😂😂

You missed an important detail in the Avengers movie. After Tony passes through the wormhole and leaves the nuclear bomb, Jarvis detaches the repulsor to create a push for Tony to reach the wormhole before it closes. However, in the "What If" series, there is no detachment of the repulsor, which is why he doesn't reach home.

Really loved Tony in the episode! The moments where he felt relieved that Earth was saved after the battle of New York and pepper was safe honestly became some of my favorite Tony Stark moments ever in the entire MCU. I also missed his classic suit up instead of the nanotech he got later in the franchise so it was nice to see those incredible suit up a mechanical sequences back! I also love to Tony's philosophy in this world you have to leave a place better and then you found it because that is the mission of a true and real hero because that's what he does. He's Iorn-Man! 9/10 episode! I also loved the Mad Max racing sequences!

Gotta love Tony still giving nicknames to people he meets. I really loved him calling Korg 'Mount Rushmore'

This episode has been the best so far as Marvel has used its animation potential to the fullest. The action sequences were phenomenal.

in the actual avengers movie, tony just barely makes it thrrough the warm hole because jarvis detached parts of his suit to give him some extra boost, but in the what if episode, we dont see anything get detached from his suit while falling back towards the warmhole, thats why he doesnt make it so in a nutshell, if jarvis didnt detach tonys armor plates to gain extra momentum, age of ultron wont take place since tony not there to make ultron, infinity war and endgame also canceled , since they killed thanos good job jarvis !

4:55 Not sure if you notice but the statue connected to the road. That's basically out of its head looks almost like a Galactus the destroyer of worlds

This episode was major Spy Kids 3 vibes, the race took a lot of inspiration from it with similar framing/vehicle design etc

your breakdowns are out of this country...good work lad !! 👏

1:38 perhaps its not the action in endgame but whay he did to Thanos' ship n Army... nuking it after New York battle. And this is also how perhaps Thanos knew Tony in Infinity War during their iconic conversation, "Stark, you're not the only one cursed woj knowledge."

You missed one detail, in the beginning of the episode, you can see Tony brought the rocket into space, after that he lost power to his suit, but if you'll notice, the some parts of his armour's shoulders were never removed so he could catch up to the portal unlike in the original timeline where the some parts of his shoulders got removed and successfully came back to earth.

What I think is a detail from episode 5, "No. No. Steve would be stupid enough to do the same for me." and at the end when Carter refuses to attack Steve, Letting his friend/her love interest hurt him/her trying to wake him up verbally instead of fighting back, just like Steve did at the end of The Winter Soldier. And as always, really nice video, waiting for the next one.

Someone also noticed that a few sneces from the race looks very similar to the Spy Kids 3 race? The one-wheel bike that Tony rides, the tunnel they enter from the racing track and how they fall on the track is literally in that film!
