"Each episode will explore a pivotal moment from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and turn it on its head, leading the audience into uncharted territory." In practice, however, the series only sporadically utilized the existing 'pivotal' moments as inspiration, which reduced its potential to delve deeply into the rich history of the MCU.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the concept of 'What If...?', the series settled for reimagining minor details rather than exploring impactful scenario changes within the established MCU, limiting its narrative breadth.
What If...? had the potential to redefine the Marvel universe but remained limited due to streaming restrictions and fear of disrupting the established continuity, resulting in a series that felt more like a missed opportunity than a creative exploration.
Five years and three seasons later, 'What If...?' appears to be a series of missed opportunities. It could have explored vast possibilities but instead adhered closely to the familiar terrain of the MCU.
