The Captain Carter Mystery Is Finally Solved
In the finale of season two of ‘What If…?‘, Captain Carter and Kahhori find themselves under threat by Strange Supreme at the Forge. During the battle between them, Captain Carter is able to retrieve the Infinity Stones which gives her an upper hand over Strange. However, when she wields the stones, it doesn’t affect her the way it destroys Iron Man and Thanos. The director Bryan Andrews finally explained the scene.
He said, “It’s with Kahhori’s help, so you have to freeze-frame it and take a look. When Kahhori sends those stones to her, they’re surrounded by Kahhori’s power. There’s a layer of space stone energy that’s shielding it from ultimate death, so, basically, [it’s] kind of like the protective covering when you buy a new record, for those people that still buy records… the plastic sheen around the vinyl, or whatever, if you will.”
Andrews also added, “But, you see it a little bit, you see it when they fly up towards her, and then when her hand’s out, and you get the close-up of them reaching in, there’s that faint blue glow around each of the stones. She has, basically, just like a little protective glove so she won’t immediately die.”
The writer of the animated show Matt Chauncey further said, “Earlier on, if you look, when she has the armor on, she’s never actually using all of the stones at once. Only a couple are lighting up, if you’re paying attention, so you never see actually see her doing the ‘all four activated’ thing that proved painful to some of our other characters in the live-action movies.”
