What If..? Episode 9 Spoilers
Spoiler Warning.
Uhhh. So it's kinda implied that at the end of episode 9 The Watcher drops Natasha off in the universe from episode 3. I mean it could be another universe but... Loki's in the same outfit as episode 3. Loki mentions Fury's "replacement Avengers". We see Captain America and Captain Marvel fighting the Asgardian forces. (Who are the two we specifically see being recruited at the end of episode 3.)
Yes?
So where the hell did Loki get the scepter containing the mind stone?
Like how did no one catch that glaring grand-canyon-sized plot hole?
In episode 3 Loki is using Gungnir, why would he switch to using the mind stone. And how did he get it away from Thanos?
In the original timeline Loki got the scepter from Thanos after falling from the bifrost, being tortured for a year, then being sent to Earth by Thanos.
Are we supposed to believe that in this universe Thanos never had the mind stone? Then why is it in a scepter identical to the one Thanos gave Loki? That's a big jump to say yes the mind stone ended up in a scepter but it never ended up with Thanos.
What if...? was just such a hot mess. There was some good content, but just so many plot holes that even the multiverse can't explain away.
I don't know. Don't mind me. These are just the things that pop into my brain.
