What If...? is only three episodes in & it's a mixed bag so far. Here's why we're hoping that's not going to be the case for its season run.

Free Guy isn't going to change anyone's life, but it has a surprising amount of heart, it's very earnest, and it isn't here to make fun of the demographic it is trying to hit.
The Suicide Squad is a bloody and gory good time, but thanks to some standout performances from the cast, it also has a lot of heart.
The Green Knight finally lets Arthurian legend get weird, and with it comes a masterfully atmospheric journey.
When Jungle Cruise manages to nail its tone, it works very well and is entertaining. However, the moments when it doesn't work, it feels very redundant.
Old is a mid-tier science fiction thriller with some interesting body horror moments and something moderately interesting moral quandaries at the end.
The Loki season finale is proof that Marvel has a fundamental misunderstanding of how you're supposed to write a season of a television show.
Space Jam: A New Legacy fundamentally misses what made the first one memorable and instead is Warner Bros. showing off that they own a bunch of IP's.
If nothing else, Loki Episode 5 showcases some weird variants (like an alligator wearing horns who could be a Loki). That's a win in my book.
Loki Episode 4 does an excellent job of moving various characters forward while teasing some truly insane things for the final two episodes.
Black Widow is trying to be a proper send-off to the first woman of the Avengers, but ultimately it falls flat due to how it was released and how it feels
Loki Episode 3 doesn't have a ton going on but the strength of its character development and conversations make for an excellent effort.
Loki episode one is nothing but set up, but the second episode really digs into the meat of this storyline and sets a strong tone.
The first episode of Netflix's Shadow and Bone was a promising start but be prepared for a lot of world-building and set-up.
The first two episodes of Freeform's Cruel Summer set up an interesting mystery told through alternating points-of-view and different years.
After an episode that finally felt like the show had found its groove, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier went out on its lowest note.
Mortal Kombat has always been an intricately dumb idea from a mythology standpoint, which is not a bad thing, and this new movie adaptation takes that
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 4 was better than last week but still feels like there is both too much and too little going on.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stumbled with this episode. While awesome to see Zemo and Sharon Carter again, the pacing is feeling off.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 picks up the pace, with fans of these characters finding a lot to like in this chapter.
Screenwriter Derek Kolstad helped elevate the genre with the John Wick series, and Nobody can't quite reach those heights. It still kicks ass, though.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode one isn't the game-changer WandaVision was, but it does a good job of setting up this new series.
Raya and the Last Dragon might be telling a very familiar story, but between the stunning animation, a cast of lovable characters, and a fresh outlook
The Little Things starts off as a paint-by-numbers cop thriller that is utterly mediocre aside from good performances from its main cast until the end
Soul is yet another homerun not just for director Pete Docter, who is almost scary good at this point, but also one of Pixar's best.
Wonder Woman 1984 had some impossible shoes to fill, but, in the end, this extremely bloated sequel has some fun moments but is overall just another
Rebecca has some big shoes to fill with the classic novel and an award-winning Hitchcock adaptation, and this Netflix adaption falls pretty short.
Tenet is trying to be deep but the convoluted storyline means we have homoeroticism with fantastic menswear in between awesome set pieces.
Mulan is by far the best of live-action Disney remakes as it takes a familiar story and twists it to create something that truly makes it feel new and epic.
The New Mutants takes way too long to get going, does way more telling than showing, but is ultimately a mediocre entry into an inconsistent franchise.
