Spoilers for both seasons of What If ahead.

What If is riddled with plot holes, from Thanos acquiring the soul stone without sacrificing Gamora to Captain Carter being able to wield all six stones in one hand without the Infinity Armor.
The plot hole I’m going addressing is Supreme Strange simply dropping all the heros and villains into the forge, even though the majority of them are capable of flight, and some of them are even capable of teleportation. So why are they all simply throwing their life saving tech and legendary weapons to Captain Carter instead of using them on themselves?
Oh I get it, kind of a boring theory and more of an out of universe direct explanation of the writing process
It’s not a theory, it’s the explanation of a joke. Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.
You said “Why did things happen one way in ‘What If…?’?” and I said because it’s not called “What if something else…?” That’s the punch line.
Honestly, I was pretty proud of it. I thought it was clever, and also fairly self-explanatory. I had hoped someone might get a chuckle. I didn’t expect anyone to take it seriously.
