Reply To: "What if …" – the Disney+ series … is kind of 'meh' ?

The problem with continueing a ‘What if’ storyline is that it is no longer a ‘if’ …

Kind of like replacing Thor with a woman … and pretending nothing weird happened.

There’s nothing inherenntly ‘wrong’ with the team up / finale, but again … it turns those universes into solid facts.

The point of a ‘what if’ would be to provide just enough food for thought to make it interesting, but add enough downsides to make the prime version of the character the one that needs to exist.

Like I said : where’s the danger/threat if you can simply switch to a different version of the character when things go wrong ?

I’m not familliar enough with the superhero genre, but I’d guess that there have been plenty of threats that were similar enough to zombies. And as we’ve seen with ‘the walking dead’ (or any zombie movie/story) the zombies merely exist to provide context for the story that is happening. They rarely are the active threat.
