What If... Howard the Duck Got Hitched?

I directed this episode, which might be the most broadly comedic we’ve done, but at its core, it has a huge heart. It features the most ill-prepared and maybe ill-suited set of parents, who will go to the end of the universe for the absolute love of their child.

The Kaecilius/Dormamu cult ceremony moment was my way into the tone of this story. I started to think of it as Mel Brooks does Temple Of Doom. I boarded a bunch of situational, Borsch-Belty gags, such as Howard and Darcy not knowing what words to chant or when to bow.

…Or Howard (who’s already shorter than everybody else), going in the wrong direction when they march into the temple, and Darcy whisper-yelling his name.
