5. What If...? season 3
The third and final season of Marvel's What If...? was a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, it delivered some standout episodes that truly made the most of its ambitious concept. But on the other, there were some questionable episodes in there too, along with some disappointing outcomes. And it's hard to overlook the fact that the show had so much more to give, so ending it after three short seasons just made it feel like it would never live up to its full potential.
That right there has been a long-standing issue for What If...? as many of its devoted fans felt that it had only scratched the surface of all the alternate realms that it could have taken us to. Perhaps it stuck too closely to the MCU in some episodes, perhaps it ventured too far away from it in others, but the conversation surrounding What If...? persisted in its third season - and that's not necessarily a good thing.
It's hard to argue with that perception because, yes, the third season features some of my all-time favorite episodes of the series. But it also has some unusual ones in there too, and it doesn't really feel like a final season until the final few episodes.
Even so, there is a lot to love in there (as always with What If...?)
