What If...?

Here's what I don't understand... Isn't this supposed to be a show that asks questions that we legitimately want to know the answer to? As far as I can tell, WHAT IF simply pulls out a number of questions that nobody seems to care about. The multiverse is infinite...that's the point. Sure, the episode questions/answers are valid, but it doesn't defeat its main issue...nobody cares. I'd instead propose to have the show answer questions fans might have asked themselves at one point...like What If The Avengers Battled the DCEU? Or, how about What If Spider-Man (2002) ran into the X-Men (2000)? All the Marvel universes are SUPPOSED to be canon now, aren't they? Why limit it only to the current MCU? Here's another idea - what if the Avengers traveled the multiverse and discovered the actors Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Sam Jackson, etc - who were all playing them in a movie version. Make it meta! Answer questions we want to see...and stop asking the most random questions nobody ever once considered.

I’ve seen two episodes now and I’ve got to ask: what’s the point of watching this? There’s nothing inherently satisfying about the show itself. Just putting a twist on existing lore and calling it a day isn’t enough to hold my attention for 30 mimutes, nor any sane person, I imagine. Are people only watching this because it sets up future stuff? Why would anyone watch something that’s just set-up? Projects are always supposed to function as an isolated piece of art, and not just as a piece of a larger machine. This show is so empty, it’s the kind of format that lends itself for short 4 minute videos on Youtube. But a feature series? Come on.
