20 TV Shows That Failed To Stick The Landing

20. Marvel's What If...?

It's frustrating, really, that Marvel's What If...? ended up such a massively anticlimactic mess.

On paper, an animated TV series exploring possible alternate fates of everyone's favourite superheroes and villains sounded great. In execution, though, things were never clear, every episode being brought to life with unimaginative animation and what-if scenarios which were never all that interesting to begin with. 

Some work, like an alternate reality in which Peggy Carter becomes Captain America, but who wanted to see Happy Hogan play Die Hard, or Iron Man meet the Grandmaster from Doctor Strange?

It was all a bit odd, truth be told, and odder still was how every character was voiced by someone new (Tony Stark with no RDJ? Criminal). It also didn't help matters that during its three-season run Marvel's What If...? attempted to link all its episodes together into one, interconnected narrative.

It needed to be fun, inventive, but What If...? was never more than forgettable and overstuffed.
