Now this is the kind of "What If...?" questions we should be asking.
I was truly intrigued by the plot of this episode, thinking that finally I have something interesting to watch and explore. Who was the person killing the avengers before they could even become avengers?
However, the episode lost me on the last act where we discover who the culprit was. Why would Hank Pym just go around killing people he didn't even know yet? Just to hurt Fury's feelings? Just to hurt SHIELD? I think that is very lackluster.
Now let's ponder for a moment. Thanos takes his time with the time stone and decides to ponder all the possible outcomes of the fight. And he realises that the only one in which he fails is due to the existence of the avengers. So he uses the stone to go back and eliminate all of them before they even manage to form an alliance. That would have made more sense in my opinion.
Alas, I guess we're not here to witness greatness, just mediocre scenarios of what could be...
