Episodes
[edit]Episode 1
[edit][episode begins with Kate Bishop shooting a zombie in the head with her arrow before she, Riri Williams, Kamala Khan and F.R.I.D.A.Y. (operating in the body of Zombie Tony Stark with the head of a teddy bear) walk around the now deserted New York City]
- Riri Williams: Anybody else concerned about the lack of zombies here?
- Kate Bishop: Eh. Predators tend to move on when the food does.
- Kamala Khan: [in an abandoned supermarket, she finds a can of tomato soup] Awesome. [whispers to Kate and Riri] Look what I found.
[suddenly, they hear an engine rumbling, and spot a Quinjet passing by the city]
- Kate Bishop: Whoa! Was that a...
- All: [unison] Quinjet?
- Riri Williams: Model 36 XT.
- Kate Bishop: God, you’re good.
- Kamala Khan: [chuckles]
- Riri Williams: Come on. We’re going after it.
- Kamala Khan: Could there be survivors?
- Riri Williams: Probably not. But that bird has got to be full of gear.
- Kate Bishop: (with the trick arrow she took from Hawkeye) Let's see what this baby’s got. (shoots the arrow at Zombie Captain Marvel, but the arrow is revealed to be a confetti arrow) Shit.
(she is soon vaporized by Captain Marvel's energy beams)
[Melina is checking on the transmitter device Kamala brought]
- Melina Vostokoff: Hmm, the device emits an encrypted subspace frequency specifically designed to contact an intergalactic authority called the Nova Corps.
- Kamala Khan: [sighs] So Riri was right.
- Alexei Shostakov: Why call space people?
- Melina Vostokoff: S.H.I.E.L.D. believed they have the technology to heal our world.
- Alexei Shostakov: Great. Turn it on. Let’s save the world.
- Kamala Khan: Uh, yes. Yes. Good… good ideas.
- Melina Vostokoff: We can’t. Fallout from the Wakanda events scatter signals in our atmosphere. No radio waves get out or make it in. The broadcast would have to be from outside our atmosphere.
- Kamala Khan: Um, what, like space?
- Melina Vostokoff: Exactly. That was the plan. But just before deployment could happen, their base was overrun by a zombie horde. They must have miniaturized it with Pym Particles to smuggle it out.
- Yelena Belova: They must have been desperate.
- Kamala Khan: Yep. Desperate enough to swallow it afterwards.
- Alexei Shostakov: Ugh. How do you know that?
- Kamala Khan: Uh, just trust me. [Alexei groans] Look, what’s important is that Kate and Riri were right, and this device could change everything.
- Melina Vostokoff: If we get it outside the atmosphere.
- Alexei Shostakov: Outer space. Ohho. That should be easy. I’ll just build this girl and her strange friend a rocket. Hmm? This is ridiculous. Maybe Khonshu man can take it to space. Can you go to space, Khonshu man?
- Blade: Shh. Quiet. They have found us.
- Alexei Shostakov: What? [alarm blares] Who found us?
- Blade: The zombie horde.
[Melina checks on the security cameras, which showcase Zombie Okoye]
- Alexei Shostakov: Hmm, it’s just one person. There’s no horde. You call one zombie a horde?
- Melina Vostokoff: No, it’s the red eyes I am noticing.
- Yelena Belova: Hmm. Is she with you?
- Blade: She is a scion of the Queen.
- Alexei Shostakov: What queen?
- Blade: The Queen of the Dead. Wanda Maximoff.
- Kamala Khan: Uh… The… The Avenger?
[cut to Zombie Okoye outside]
- Zombie Okoye: What we seek is here.
[zombified Abomination, Ghost, Hawkeye and a half-bodied Captain America appear]
- Alexei Shostakov: (seeing Zombie Captain America; excited) Captain America. Finally, the battle they will sing about for ages.
[more zombies appear]
- Yelena Belova: Hey, Daddy, look, there’s the horde.
- Kamala Khan: I think (referring to the transmitter) this is what they want.
Episode 2
[edit](Shang Chi has the Ten Rings, and he and some of the survivors are evacuated from San Francisco)
- Denise: So? What do we do now?
- Shang-Chi: We survive.
- Helmut Zemo: I look at you... and I see your journeys etched in your faces. The hardships you've endured. You've sacrificed so much. Let us honor the ones we have lost. The ones we wish could have joined us. They are still with us, though they are not here. We will not forget them, no matter how far we travel. We honor them as we take safety in the ocean depths.
- Zombie Okoye: They think themselves safe. No one is safe.
Episode 3
[edit](in a flashback, the cliffhanger of What If...? episode "What If... Zombies?!" is revealed)
- Peter Parker: [narrating] I want to tell you the story of how we fixed everything. How we used the Mind Stone and Wakandan tech to cure every zombie on the planet. But I can’t. Because it’s not what happened. Something was waiting for us. Something that we had been warned about. Thanos. He wanted the Mind Stone. But after T’Challa saw what he was doing to Wakanda, he wasn’t in a giving mood. Thanos had unimaginable power, but his infected brain couldn’t focus it. T’Challa saw it before we did. Zombie Thanos was learning. It wouldn’t be long before he was… unstoppable. Things were looking bad. I mean, we were outnumbered. And then we weren’t. You see, Thor, he had a score to settle. But that’s not the story, either. It all seemed hopeless. Thanos turned the Golden City inside out, exposing the molten vibranium in its reactor’s core. I heard T’Challa say “Wakanda forever,” quietly, like… Like he knew that it was the last time. T’Challa saved the universe. Every single one of us.
(after Valkyrie threatens the survivors with death unless they leave, Blade evokes his pantheon, Khonshu)
- Khonshu: I am the Moon God, Khonshu. Has the world changed so much that the Asgardians no longer recognize my deity?
- Valkyrie: Khonshu… [laughing] My God! You little bird head bastard! How you been, man? (cut to the survivors, who are unable to see Khonshu; distant voice) I haven’t seen you in so long…
(as Valkyrie speaks, we hear the others)
- Katy: (confused) Uh… Sorry. Who is she talking to?
- Jimmy Woo: I have no idea.
- Alexei Shostakov: Maybe his imaginary friend is real?
- Shang-Chi: Yeah, I mean, at this point, why not?
- Helmut Zemo: [sighs] I miss my boat.
Episode 4
[edit]- Shang-Chi: You freaking out, too?
- Kamala Khan: I’m not scared. It’s something else.
- Shang-Chi: Talk to me.
- Kamala Khan: I asked all of you to follow me, to give up everything on the chance we could fix things. And I was wrong. It was all for nothing. Wanda said she needs me. What if she wants me to go to Paris?
- Shang-Chi: You’re right. We can’t know for sure, but we have to hold on to hope. I mean, you saw Thor drinking his life away in defeat, regret in his eyes. But in the end, what he really wanted was one last chance to fight. And you gave that to him. You gave that to all of us. I’ll always be grateful to you for that. And if we have one more, I’m gonna take it.
- Kamala Khan: You sure?
- Shang-Chi: Hey, we have to win one of these eventually, don’t we? Also, am I crazy or did Thor kind of make you an Avenger back there? [Kamala then hugs him] Oh. [chuckles] That’s a hug.
- Kamala Khan: [sighs] Thank you.
- Shang-Chi: All right, pal. Come on. Enough sittin’ around. We’ve got a world to save.
