  • Complete Monster: See here.
  • Esoteric Happy Ending: In "What If Rufio Didn't Die In ''Hook?''", the hypothetical sequel ends with the Banning family reuniting, though it's not revealed whether Moira knows her husband was killed in Neverland.
  • Fridge Brilliance: In "What If Finn Was The Main Character In The Star Wars Sequels?", General Leia deems Finn to be a Skywalker which is true from a certain point of view; Finn is like Anakin Skywalker. Both were raised at a young age, turned into instruments of evil, then turned good and have a close bond with Luke Skywalker.
  • He Really Can Act: The voice work for both the Riddler and Two-Face for "What If? Tim Burton Directed Batman Forever?" knock right out of the park, making both the idea of Robin Williams as an insane villain and Billy Dee Williams tapping into a Two-Face with a grittier voice than in the animated series incredibly creepy awesome.
    • Tamara delivers one of her best vocal performances to date as Ursula in "What If Ariel was a Siren?".
  • Magnificent Bastard:
    • "What if the Joker Was in 'The Dark Knight Rises'?" two-parter: Bane and Talia al Ghul, the children of Ra's al Ghul, take over the League of Shadows following his death. Together, they seek to destroy Gotham and get revenge on Bruce Wayne for their father's death. Bane attacks a stock exchange and costs Bruce his fortune by using his finger prints. Meanwhile Talia takes the identity of Miranda Tate in order to gain access to Bruce's fusion reactor and control of his company. Having Selina Kyle lead Bruce into a trap, Bane easily bests him in a fight, breaking his back and imprisoning him in the Pit, before taking over Gotham and cutting it off from the rest of the world. When the Joker is released, Bane engages him in a gang war, managing to keep him contained to the Narrows. Though ultimately defeated, Talia informs the heroes that she flooded the reactor room to prevent them from defusing the bomb. Proving worthy successors to their father, Bane and Talia come with in a hair's breadth of winning.
    • "What If Harvey Dent Was In 'Batman Returns'?" & "What If Tim Burton Directed 'Batman Forever'?" two-parter: Catwoman, real name Selina Kyle, once again is the slippery and smooth operator she was in her film appearance. Fulfilling all the same actions she did in the film in her first appearance: such as joining forces with the Penguin to frame Batman for the attack on the Ice Princess, whom Catwoman didn't plan on getting killed; undermining Max Shreck and eventually killing him too, Catwoman once again survives and ends triumphant. In her second appearance, while Selina is incognito for the majority of the story and doesn't come back until the very end, she reveals she's kept tabs on Bruce and has recently provided the evidence that officially clears Batman of all wrong-doing she set him up for—"to make Gotham's nightlife a little more interesting"—before once again slipping away into hiding.
  • Shocking Moments: "What if Ariel was a Siren" has Ursula actually eat King Victor alive!
    • Going into "What If Belle Became the Beast", it's doubtful that anyone expected the Enchantress to actually be Maleficent.
  • Spiritual Successor: Much like Doug has more prominent story and character in Critic after Demo Reel, Rob and Walter took the “reworking movies and making them better” half of that show.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • Doug’s version of Mary Poppins Returns goes far harder on the Missing Mom angle, focusing on the grief of Michael (who doesn’t know how to be an adult) and Annabelle (who acts out, and runs off because she’s scared she’ll make his anger worse). Not to mention that they do actually lose the house.
    • The ending of "What if Venom Wasn't In Spider-Man 3" — Mary Jane is thrown off a bridge by Harry, who has succumbed to the Goblin persona just as his father did. Peter attempts to save her, inadvertently sending Harry to his death in the process, but it doesn't matter as the web Peter shoots ends up yanking Mary Jane with so much force that her neck is snapped.
    • "What If Ariel was a Siren?" has Eric blame Ariel for the destruction of his kingdom and call her a monster. Ariel, heartbroken, ends up involuntarily changing into her siren form, but is able to maintain enough restraint to not kill Eric on the spot, instead fleeing the scene and leaving him imprisoned undeterminedly. Considering Ariel and Eric are one of the more popular Disney couples among fans, this part must've stung particularly hard in an already bleak episode.
