Yeah, the What If series apparently existed to demonstrate that the Marvel Universe was the best of all possible worlds. Without exception, any change proposed, always ALWAYS resulted in some horrible outcome. Even if the character in question came out better (Ben Grimm wasn't a rocky monster, Bruce Banner wasn't the Hulk, etc) even their happiness was generally shortlived as the world went to hell on a rocket sled around them.

The one where Rogue killed Thor, then was overcome by his conscience and took his place as a hero ended okay, didn't it? I mean, not so much for Thor, obviously, but everything else worked out, as I recall.

I don't remember reading that one. So, okay, maybe it didn't _invariably_ show that the Marvel Universe was the best of all possible worlds, but that was the way to bet.

There was one exception..

I believe Frank Miller did one in the original What If series where Elektra wasn't killed by Bullseye and got to live happily ever after with Matt. But that was the very rare exception..

There are a lot of them that end with the world dying in some way shape or form. There are quite a few "bittersweet" ones too. But yeah, a lotta people die in just about all of them.
