In the fourth episode of \u201cWhat If\u2026? Season 2,\u201d titled \u201cWhat If\u2026 Iron Man Crashed Into the Grandmaster?\u201d the Watcher delves into the story of Gamora\u2019s rise to becoming a part of the Guardians of the Multiverse. The narrative, however, starts within Tony Stark\u2019s universe and ventures into new territories while being a continuation of Season 1\u2019s ongoing narratives.<\/p>\n
In this alternate reality, Tony successfully averts the nuclear warhead aimed at New York but gets stranded in space after the wormhole closes behind him. He crash-lands on Sakaar in the Grandmaster\u2019s palace. The Grandmaster, excited to meet the famed \u201cMr. Metal Mojo Man,\u201d insists Tony stays for a celebratory party despite Tony\u2019s longing to return home. However, when a race turns deadly in the battle arena, Tony intervenes, only to encounter Gamora, who seeks revenge against him.<\/p>\n
Amidst their clash, Tony and Gamora find themselves imprisoned together but are joined by Korg, preventing any romantic novel tropes from unfolding. Gamora, a daughter of Thanos, attempts to kill Tony, leading to a confrontation where Tony learns that Thanos orchestrated the Chitauri\u2019s attack. Driven by anger and fueled by Gamora\u2019s revelation, Tony confronts the corrupt Grandmaster and decides to take on Thanos.<\/p>\n
As Tony aims to stop the Grandmaster and ultimately confront Thanos, Gamora assists him despite their initial conflict. Their alliance culminates in a race challenge between Tony and the Grandmaster, showcasing a blend of Mad Max and Mario Kart elements. Ultimately, Tony wins, but the Grandmaster\u2019s interference complicates matters until Gamora, teaming up with Tony, aids in taking down Thanos.<\/p>\n
While the episode centers on Gamora\u2019s transformative journey, it primarily unfolds through Tony\u2019s perspective. The transition in Gamora\u2019s mindset, from identifying solely as Thanos\u2019s daughter to asserting her own identity, feels slightly rushed and lacks substantial exploration within the episode.<\/p>\n
The Watcher\u2019s assertion that this is primarily about Gamora\u2019s evolution to a Guardian of the Multiverse might be somewhat overstated, as the pivotal moments of her transformation occur off-screen. Despite its narrative twists and turns, the episode predominantly revolves around Tony Stark, with Gamora\u2019s character arc somewhat understated and underdeveloped.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat If\u2026? Season 2 Episode 4\u201d delivers an intriguing storyline but falls short in fully exploring Gamora\u2019s transformation, relying more on Tony Stark\u2019s perspective within the alternate universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
