It’s no easy feat, bringing to life a superhero with whom people are not at all familiar. It’s more difficult when you have the added “layer” of animation separating your performance from the audience. Yet with the What If…? Season 2 episode “What If… Kahhori Reshaped the World?,” Devery Jacobs instantly engaged viewers to follow her character’s incredible journey. After falling into a Tesseract-infused lake, Jacobs’ Kahhori — a young woman in a pre-Colonial America’s Haudenosaunee Confederacy — was transported to a utopian “Sky World” she wanted no part of; instead, she wished to return home and save her village from Spanish Conquistadors. Jacobs, the Mohawk Reservation Dogs star who studied her native language for this role, gave Kahhori both a headstrong resolve and an understandable curiosity about the powers now available to her. And as Kahhori realized her potential in time for a major clash, Jacobs imbued the character with a commanding confidence. —M.W.M. Edited December 31, 2023 by tv echo Link to comment

tv echo January 7 Share January 7 (edited) What If…? Boss Wrote ‘Very Dark’ Spider-Man Episode for Season 2 — Here’s Why She Squashed It BY MATT WEBB MITOVICH JANUARY 3, 2024 https://tvline.com/news/what-if-dark-spider-man-season-episode-cancelled-1235107960/ Quote “It felt like the world was already ending and we didn’t need to add to it. And so [writing Season 2] became kind of an escape and a fun release,” Bradley recalls. “However, I did write an episode, which is forever going in a drawer, that was very, very dark. I was calling it ‘Children of Men with Spider Man.'” A dystopian thriller set in 2027 amid two decades of human infertility, the 2006 film Children of Men (based on the novel by P.D. James) starred Clive Owen as a former activist who is hired to escort a young refugee to a scientific research facility. Bradley offered IGN no further hints about her Spider-Man-centric take on that tale. Edited January 7 by tv echo Link to comment
arc January 8 Share January 8 14 hours ago, tv echo said: I was calling it ‘Children of Men with Spider Man.'” Man, this really was the Sliders season of What If. Just stealth movie remakes all over. Here's the whole IGN interview with AC Bradley that this bit was from. Quote Season 2 was also fully the COVID season of the series, with all of the scripts being written between January 2020 and October 2020. They worked remotely for almost all of the script-writing, voice records, and animatic development, which inevitably impacted the tone of the second season. “It felt like the world was already ending and we didn't need to add to it,” Bradley says. “And so it became kind of an escape and a fun release. However, I did write an episode, which is forever going in a drawer, that was very, very dark. I was calling it ‘Children of Men with Spider Man.’ “ Quote Bradley also praises actor Sam Rockwell for getting the homage immediately when he returned to voice villain Justin Hammer. “He was so great,” she says. “I wasn't at his voice-records, however, I was told that while he was doing the record, he had a moment where he went, ‘Wait a minute, am I Hans Gruber?’ There was a slight reluctance to tell him that this was a Die Hard homage but they said, ‘Yeah.’ And he said, ‘Perfect!’ “ Link to comment
