Captain Carter's Sacrifice - Death Of Red Skull | Marvel Studios' What If...? S01 E01

Inside of Castle Krake, our heroes discover skullduggery — Red Skullduggery. The crimson creep has surprises a-plenty up his sleeve. Not only has he recovered the Tesseract from the Hydra Stomper armor, he's retrieved the armor itself, as well as the tiny kid from Brooklyn that once piloted it. He opens a portal, summoning a Lovecraftian horror from beyond the veil of existence to bring about Hydra's reign of terror. The terrible beastie has more than a little in common with the classic Marvel monster Shuma-Gorath, minus the giant eye and with the addition of a "Stranger Things"-style Demogorgon mouth at the center of its writhing self.But as has often been said, he who lives by the unspeakable cephalopod abomination must also die by the unspeakable cephalopod abomination, and the Red Skull gets smeared into a Red Paste, hoisted by his own extradimensional tentacle. Stark does like a good sci-fi super scientist is supposed to do and hits some buttons, trying to reverse the polarity hard enough to make the rapidly-expanding squid bits go back to where they came from, but to no avail. Steve Rogers, now rescued and back in his jury rigged, patch-job-powered armor, runs out of juice before he can make much of an impact. The only solution to the tentacle problem is for Captain Carter to personally shove the eldritch horror back from whence it came. She disappears into the unknown, promising Steve a dance on her way out. Everything fades to black. Marvel Studios' What if...?. #Captainamerica, #captaincarter, #whatif, #mcu.
