What If…? might have shown us countless possibilities for the Marvel universe, but there's one in particular that fans have wanted – and even TV boss Brad Winderbaum agrees.
Appearing on The Escape Pod, Winderbaum played an agree or disagree game with the hosts, and, when asked if What If…? should have included an episode where the other half of the Avengers were taken out in the Blip, Winderbaum agreed. "Yeah, you guys are 100% right on that," he said.
In the Blip, half of the universe's population was turned to dust, but the original six Avengers all survived and, with the help of the other living characters, were able to reverse the disaster in Endgame. A reversal of that scenario would see the likes of Spider-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy live, while characters like Iron Man and Thor don't make it.
Naturally, Marvel fans have thoughts on how the situation would have gone. "I feel like they would've solved things faster. Hank and Janet together would've probably figured out time travel through Janet's knowledge of the place and Hank's genius. T'Challa would've provided additional help through Wakandan tech. More importantly, Strange would've seen this future play out from the millions he viewed and would know what to do," argues one person on Reddit.
Another counters: "The only reason they knew that time travel was a possibility was because Scott accidentally time travelled when he was stuck in the quantum realm. Since Scott is gone, that doesn't happen."
"The story would have to end with them losing, because out of the millions of scenarios [Strange] saw the only one where they won was what happened in Endgame, so that would have been cool too," argues someone else.
"It would be so cool. Honestly I think between Fury, Pym and Strange they would have reversed things even quicker," is another person's thoughts.
"That kind of what-if has enough content to make its own separate season. Or an entire separate MCU franchise lol," says another fan.
What If came to an end with season 3, but an animated spin-off of the show, Marvel Zombies, has a season 2 currently in the works.
Next up for Marvel is Spider-Man: Brand New Day this July 31, while Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is currently releasing weekly on Disney Plus.
