I badly want a Season 2 but I want it after Secret Wars so we can have zombie mutants 🤩
Pretend-Meaning-15362025-10-11 09:35
marvel zombies can be a better what if and I hope season 2 gets made
LaylaLegion2025-10-11 09:50
All those characters and you forget the most important one whose absence NEEDS to be explained: Death herself, aka Rio.
Thirsty4Kak2025-10-11 10:14
Of COURSE Marvel jumps in the Zombie train 🤮🤮🤮🤮
MrMooey122025-10-11 10:42
I’m sorry what? Is this show new information to you? What about the comic series that started in 2005?
Thirsty4Kak2025-10-11 12:55
Gay. Still.
JBTriple2025-10-11 10:22
Loki is dead.
Wild_Celebration63462025-10-11 11:25
I mean is he though ?
JyconX2025-10-11 13:57
Loki, Thor and Thanos were still in space when the Zombie Outbreak began on Earth. And back then, the events didn't differ from the beginning of the Infinity War just yet.
Visible_Safe_89012025-10-11 14:39
It's not necessary. Timelines fluctuate.
JyconX2025-10-11 14:49
What If...? season 1 episode 5 clearly indicated that the zombie virus and everything that happened was the only difference in this timeline.
And Loki series clearly explained the concept of "nexus events" and branching of timelines.
If there would have been any in that timeline even before the zombie virus, the Watcher would've told about it in that What If...? episode

>What If...? season 1 episode 5 clearly indicated that the zombie virus and everything that happened was the only difference in this timeline.
Story wise, yes. But as I said, timelines fluctuate, that's why we meet classic Loki who was able to survive.
>And Loki series clearly explained the concept of "nexus events" and branching of timelines.
Michael Waldron(the head writer of Loki s1) himself has explained the concept of fluctuations.
Here's the qoute:- "So you and I are having this conversation right now. There’s another instance of us having this conversation 10 seconds ago. There’s another instance of time of us having this conversation 10 seconds in the future. Generally, those three instances — you could literally say they’re all different universes in a way, different timelines — are all the same. There are minute little fluctuations in each instance of time. So in you and I’s conversation, five times out of ten, I pick up and I say, “Hello.” And four times out of ten, I say, “Hey, nice to meet you.” And then maybe one time out of ten, I’d say, “Hey man, f— you. I don’t want to do this interview.”
Let's take an example from the MCU to explain this better:
What if...? Season 1 Episode 1:
The universe that we see in this episode is a different one than the MCU we've been following and it's been a different one since the big bang, but up till now it has followed the same path as the MCU, although probably with small fluctuations here and there. We see one of those fluctuations in the episode: Heinz Kruger stays in the experiment room instead of going to the booth with the rest of the guests. That by itself wouldn't change much. It's the fact that Peggy Carter also stays in the room that is considered the "branching point", because due to that choice, she can react faster and put herself in the machine to become a super-soldier.
This event didn't happen in 1 universe/strand, it happened in multiple (x% of the universes in the MCU's "rope"). That means there are many Captain Carter variants in the Multiverse. And then down the line, at some other point, another y% of the "Captain Carter strands" might have veered off to their own path and so on...
That means that a divergence is not binary.
Basically, contrary to the popular belief, the birth of Loki variants are not "branching" events but rather a "fluctuation"(a change not enough diverge the path of the timeline) in the timelines that have existed since the big bang.
TL;DR: There are 2 types of "branches". Natural & unnatural. Unnatural branches are created through time travel & natural branches are... well, natural.
>If there would have been any in that timeline even before the zombie virus, the Watcher would've told about it in that What If...? episode
Watcher's narration was inconsistent throughout the entire show in this regard. He didn't tell you about divergent points in every episode.

I cannot wait for the agents of shield to show up again. Any day now.
Trvr_MKA2025-10-11 19:00
Robot Coulson would be perfect
magpye19832025-10-11 10:44
I would have said characters with expensive actors, then I saw Batroc, and changed my assessment.
Head_Humor2025-10-11 10:50
They need to stop using the police corp and give us the actual nova corps. Bring in Richard and Sam!
toastednutella2025-10-11 12:05
BATROC THE LEAPER MENTIONED
Lexabro-10mg2025-10-11 12:25
Is Nebula able to get infected? Would Thanos have altered her body to where viral illnesses could not affect her?

Hercules would actually be peak
ETC30002025-10-11 14:18
Not going to lie, they'd probably be even more cooked than the last guys
SirBertLeaman2025-10-11 15:14
I think we do see Ross though. One of the zombies hanging out around Camp Lehigh looks like Ross and is made the focal point of a shot or two. I think we're meant to assume it's him though without being named there's some amount of plausible deniability.
Western-Chart-67192025-10-11 15:39
I’d love to see characters like Doctor Doom, Moon Knight, and Daredevil show up. They’d bring a darker edge that fits perfectly with the zombie chaos.
LittleLebowskiiiii2025-10-11 17:59
….moon knight was one of the main characters?
Spider_Gamer_20022025-10-12 05:32
Blade knight technically but it was already confirmed Marc is dead
GIJobra2025-10-11 16:02
And we never will. That show sucked. Chances of a Season 2 are likely slim.
JK64_Cat2025-10-11 16:17
Actually, we have seen Ikaris from the Eternals!
GrownManNamedFinger2025-10-11 16:36
I bet Loki still died the same way. Hulk got sent to earth after that
CT-10302025-10-11 16:36
A lot of non canon characters here.
KAL6272025-10-11 18:13
The fact that you sat there and made this is so sad.
BOBULANCE2025-10-11 23:49
Oh no! How dare this person be a fan!
Trvr_MKA2025-10-11 18:59
Loki is assumably dead
deadlieststing2025-10-11 21:36
I don't remember seeing Natasha, but that could just be me overlooking it. But half of these characters aren't even from Earth or on Earth at the time of the zombie plague.
ShadesOfTheDead2025-10-11 23:35
She was shown attacked by zombies in the What If episode.
deadlieststing2025-10-14 06:21
Thanks! I couldn't remember that, since I did go back and rewatch before Marvel Zombies.
DuckterDoom2025-10-11 22:00
At least the Frogman is still alive to save the day.

what happened to strange tho ? can't remember
Art-Lover-Ivy2025-10-19 06:12
Could also add Namora alongside Attuma. VERY UNLIKELY that either survived if Namor didn’t, but technically possible.
