Episode 7 is titled “What If… Hela Found the Ten Rings?”. In this What If Episode, we will see Hela going for the Ten Rings from the Sang Chi movie. In our original universe, we saw Odin stripping Thor of his powers and then sending him to Earth until he became worthy of his powers.
But in this universe, instead of Thor, Odin sends Hela to Earth to punish her for her raising hatred and evil ways. Once Hela lands on Earth, she learns about the Ten Rings, so she heads to China to check the Ten Rings out for herself. This might be the time before the Sang Chi movie, and maybe Sang Chi might be a kid at this point or maybe would not have been born yet.
Anyways, Hela meets Wenwu, and together they fight Odin, who has come back to earth. Now I don’t know who will be the good guy or the bad guy over here because this is a What If episode, and things are sometimes different over here.
What If Season 2 Episode 5 Recap
Before diving into What If Season 2 Episode 7, let’s quickly recap the previous episode. Starting with episode 5, titled “What if Captain Carter fought the Hydra Stomper”. This is basically like the sequel to the Captain Carter episodes from season one and that post-credits scene from season one.
During the opening scene, Captain Carter’s Battle of New York happens during the events of the first Avengers movie, with history being slightly different based on what happened previously in season one.
Instead of getting stuck in the ice, she was transported to the present day with the Tesseract portal during the events of that Avengers movie instead of Loki arriving. And that’s how she wound up on that present-day Avengers team.
But then the Watcher showed up to take her to the Multiverse Avengers team. But as he explains, after the events of Season One, he returned everybody to where he took them from at the exact moment. Because he joined her from that present-day Avengers period, he took her back to that and they just pick up with the events of that first Avengers movie being slightly different.
In this reality, her Avengers team during that first Avengers movie is Captain Carter, obviously leading the team and it is Hayley Atwell doing The Voice again. Black Widow is played by Lake Bell again. She plays Black Widow in all the episodes, and she played Black Widow in season one. Jeremy Renner came back as a version of Hawkeye, Iron Man and is here, Thor and the Wasp are here.
All their witty banter the dialog is similar to the banter in the first Avengers movie. They take down the Chitori, and Captain Carter and Black Widow stop Loki. A lot more happened in previous episodes, but now let’s discuss when Episode 7 of What If Season 2 will be released and what will happen in it.
