Even the popcorn looked bored during What If...?.

Hot Take: What If...?'s third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought What If...? was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in What If...? is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the What If...? performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in What If...??
Rewatched What If...? last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in What If...? actually is?
Just got out of What If...? and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
