I love the MCU and even loved WandaVision. But the shows have gotten progressively worse since.

"What If?" has beautiful animation and good voice acting but downright atrocious pacing and storytelling. Every episode so far has rushed through the plot points without any care for interesting storytelling.

But worst of all, the show comes across as overly preachy. It often sacrifices character consistency for a "message" which is never compelling or poignant.

People say the episodes are too short, but shows like "The Simpsons" were able to tell complete stories with compelling themes in far shorter episodes. Ultimately, the writers of "What If?" just aren't clever enough to tell good narratives based upon the interesting premise.
