What if S3E5 is amongst the best in the series!!
I believe the episode where the emergence happens and Riri fights against Mysterio is as good as the Supreme Strange one i.e. it's top 2.
1. The world - It's obvious that the setting and the world of the episode is the best in the whole series. A common critique of the episode is that it could've done more with the emergence, and it feels like a "Quentin Beck took over the world" rather than "The Emergence happened" episode, and I completely agree with that criticism. But I still think they used the world really well. And it's complimented by the illusions of Beck and uncertainty of what's real and what's not.
2. The characters - This will mainly be about Riri Williams since the rest of the cast was interchangeable. As someone who's watched all of Ironheart (only because I heard there was a certain character in it) and hated every iota of it including Riri Williams, I really liked her in this episode. Where the fuck was this Riri in Ironheart?? She's barely clinging in the battle, just barely managing to somehow survive the ridiculously stronger opponent. She's always on the back foot and the underdog. But she's still resilient, keeps punching up till she somehow scrapes by and survives. She's really untrusting, but that's understandable based on the world she's lived in. She's lost everything, but just keeps fighting. The show really dropped the ball with her.
3. The Watcher - This episode adopts a really unique setup, where The Watcher keeps telling us from the beginning that Riri's gonna lose. We see her beating White Vision and the gang's celebrating, and he pops up like a party pooper and goes "It's so sad that all of them are gonna die." And then we see them lose. Riri just seeing the corpses of her friends was horrifying. Add on the fact that their whole plan was a trap, and Riri made that plan and convinced everyone to join, she just gives up the fight and accepts defeat. This girl who we've seen keep fighting against all odds, just gives up. And that would've been her death if \*The Watcher didn't intervened\*. And his intervention was so great. It was just him saying "Fight". It was subtle, almost irrelevant, yet such minute intervention saved her universe. That really showed the power of The Watcher, such seemingly insignificant actions can change universes. And we see the consequences of such minute actions, the other Watchers start keeping an eye on him (till the next episode ruins it and he straight up chuggs two dudes off a train).
I really liked the episode, and I liked Riri in it. And I wanted to share some love for it. What if was a colossal disaster, made worse by the massive potential it had, but it really has some hidden gems.
