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.

@iamdwg I don't know why it's spoiler tagged. It's all hypothetical questions

@iamdwg <br /> <br /> _Isn't this supposed to be a show that asks questions that we legitimately want to know the answer to?_<br /> <br /> I think the answer to that is "no"? The concept of the series is taken from the way that comics sometimes have side issues that do things like having famous characters as zombies, or batman set in Victorian England (Gotham by Gaslight). It's a chance for creatives to have some fun without the stories needing to be canon. They've somewhat stretched the usage of the "What If...?" titling for me, since the titles haven't often actually reflected the key change (for example, the Peter Quill episode was more about "What If Yondu didn't have a change of heart?" as the key change that made that universe branch off) - but the premise is fine. I particularly like episodes where we get different Avengers lineups... it's fun seeing characters interact who haven't on-screen.
