I still can’t comprehend how they managed to fumble this concept so badly.
Does anyone else feel like What If...? was such a huge missed opportunity? I mean, it could have been the absolute centerpiece of the entire Multiverse Saga. Don't get me wrong—I'm not saying the show was bad; it definitely had some great moments and standout episodes.
However, the potential was massive. They could have truly explored the depths of the Multiverse, introduced fresh characters, or set up key players needed for upcoming movies and major events. Most importantly, it was the perfect platform to build a stronger emotional connection between the audience and these new characters.
This realization hits even harder now with Avengers: Doomsday on the horizon. The show could have done so much heavy lifting to set the stage for both Doomsday and Secret Wars. I know Seasons 1 and 2 released before the Doomsday announcement, but Season 3 came out after—they could have easily incorporated something intriguing there. Plus, Secret Wars was announced well before Season 2, so there was plenty of time to build towards it.
Having three full seasons is no small deal.
I know many people have called it out earlier but If we See it in Context of Doomsday and Secret Wars it's looking way more than missed opportunity.
No hate to anyone who loved it, this is just my personal opinion. What do you all think?
