Marvel comics Zomies are more dangerous than that of what if...?

In Disney Plus' What if...?, Marvel has devoted an entire episode to the Zombie Avengers. The majority of zombified stories revolve around a few non-infected people fighting zombies for survival. This animated series, on the other hand, depicts the Mighty Avengers as half-dead flesh eaters.

The MCU's zombies are unquestionably scary, but when it comes to comic book zombies, nothing beats the dread effect they provide. As seen on What if...?, we'll talk about how comic book Zombies differ from Zombie Avengers. So, without further ado, let's get right into the meat of the article.


In comparison to the Zombie Avengers, Marvel Zombies are more terrifying.

The comic book Zombies are supposed to have originated on Earth-2149, with an infected character arriving on the planet as the source of the infection. The plot of What if...?, on the other hand, follows a completely different pattern. Janet van Dyne is exposed to Quantum illness during her tenure in the Quantum Realm in the Disney Plus show. She infects her husband, Hank Pym, after transforming into a zombie, and when she returns to the Earthly plane, the Ant-Man is the first person to come into contact with her. Beginning with Ant-Man, the entire United States is infected within a few hours.The Earth's mightiest heroes banded together, but this time they couldn't do anything since they had turned into zombies.

Even after being infected, Zombies have been shown to posses amazing powers and intelligence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What If...?, for example, depicts Zombie Doctor Strange casting spells and Zombie Scarlet Witch wielding the same power as her human form. In the same way that the MCU's zombies are aware of their environment, comic book zombies are as well.

In the comics, the infected Avengers retained their intelligence, but their craving for human flesh made them even more dangerous. Infected Spider-Man, for example, couldn't control his hunger and assaulted Mary Jane and Aunt May. That's something we haven't seen in the Zombies episodes of What If.

Although the MCU's zombies are believed to be on a galactic scale, the original comic book Zombies are nothing short of nightmares. That's because Galactus and everything else on the planet may be eaten in the comic versions. So, comic book zombies are powerful enough to defeat a cosmic entity, yet the MCU's Zombies were nowhere near that level of power.

It's difficult to dispute that What If: Zombie Avengers laid the stage for future films. For example, following What If, we've seen zombies in Disney Plus' Moon Knight. In the Multiverse of Madness, we also saw Doctor Strange's Zombie form.

The success of Zombie Avengers prompted the studios to announce Marvel Zombies, a What If spin-off. As the title suggests, the show will delve deeper into the zombie story. However, there is currently no official release date for the show.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
