Marvel's 'What If...?' Trailer

[Psyren]

I find broad answers to discontinuity kinda boring. Like isn’t the fun thing about canon trying to fit all the bits that explicitly don’t fit together?

Sure, but not when it means losing the bits (and actors) that really work.

So Marvel now has the perfect excuse to, say, bring Charlie Cox's Daredevil into the MCU proper. Or have Andrew Garfield snark at Tom Holland, while they both run rings around Alfred Molina. Or hell, they might even have Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard bury the hatchet at some point. Because it's fun.

That is what Star Wars did. Boba Fett was Jaster Mereel, no that's still canon in some way but it's retconned into being the grandson of Jaster Mereel and the "good one" (ie what Lucas wanted) was shoved into a movie somewhere. That's the joke.

They haven't gone far enough. Yeah Boba is back, and maybe they'll even explain how/why, but as far as I can tell most of the EU is still in a cupboard somewhere and they still have no idea what to do with anything from TRoS and beyond. Star Wars is content to wallow in its past, DC is still throwing everything it can at the wall to see what sticks, while Marvel is actually making a future.
