To me, the best thing about this episode is that it gives weight to all the warnings that have come throughout the franchise. "Don't mess with time", "don't mess with the fabric of reality" etc. We've never really seen the full consequences of breaking the rules. Now they've shown us the brutal reality, that reality can *end.*

I almost wonder if it's not a way of tongue in cheek commenting about Marvel comics use of time travel. In the comics time travel became overused and consequence-less at times, the MCU is giving us enough time travel to scratch the itch of wanting those types of stories, while giving themselves an out for why time travel doesn't just become the answer to ever issue in the MCU going forward.

You will certainly ponder "How far are we allowed to go, to fix something that's broken?" The problem is the world needs a certain amount of us to be broken, why else would they deny so many of us all kinds of remedies that would 100% for sure cure or fix us? We even deny people to die with dignity and without pain because life is too sacred that we have to squeeze every painful drop of life out of them like the steam vampires from Doctor Sleep. Point me towards a desperate soul and I will show you someone who is dangerous, especially if it's self inflicted, but given the right circumstances can be the savior of millions.

I love it when studios let their writers, showmakers go nuts with their imaginations, and I love it when they make ballsy choices. This was BY FAR the best episode of What If…? I have to agree with you guys, this episode felt very much like what we would get from a full length movie. I think what makes this episode stand out the most was because of how personal it was. The previous episodes had their own elements and moments that helped us to connect, but this really hunkered down in it for its story, and it really connects deep with you, and does bring up serious questions, like: if you had the absolute ability to rewrite time itself, to save the one you love, how much are willing to give, and sacrifice?

All the “the animation is trash” complaints have gone down the drain after this episode.

[@jugram13]

WHAT!? "The animation is trash"?? Are they like have no fucking eyes? Even a blind people can agree that the animation is beautiful

[@numberoftheword]

@@jugram13 People are used to watching very smooth and detailed CGI animation from Pixar and other studios, this show is not quite at that standard,it has a bit of an outdated videogame cutscene feel in the way characters and objects move and the way they use celshading, that might be why some don't like it. I think it looks good enough especially the lighting is beautiful, I'd rather watch stuff like this than the typical stale 2d animation stuff that dc and marvel puts out and I like 2d animation way more.

This episode not only was heartbreaking but a massive lesson. This is definitely unexpected, the best episode by a country mile. Loved the reaction.

[@jonathanjohnson6727]

I believe the Watcher interfered or is connected to Dr Strange being taken into the fiery shadows(glowing of the eyes are white not yellowish orange as Dark Doctor Strange/Strange Supreme is shown to have). Possibly due to the Watcher realizing Strange sensed/heard him, as he absorbed those beings. Deeming his involvement necessary to the greater picture. Unless it's one of the absorbed mystic beings taking control. Either way Dark Dr. Strange fighting against an Absolute(Fate) only to cause an ever growing catharsis. Just to be left alone with it all and in the same vein absolutely nothing. Seems all the more _Maddening_ given his ambitious and defiant nature.

[@Drakoni23]

The watcher actually stepping in to talk to Strange was such a strong moment where I went "Oh shit, I guess his universe is really doomed, no clever out". Cause the watcher keeps saying how he can't and won't interfere. So when he DOES it means that that's pretty much it. At first I thought he could maybe change the "absolute point" to be his hands getting hurt like the sacret timeline version. But I guess that's not how it works? That once an absolute point is defined in a universe, that's how it HAS to go, the multiverse variants having different absolute points doesn't matter?

[@raphaelchigombe1568]

I like the visualisation at 13:45 just after Supreme Strange absorbs Stephen. As the wrecked car rises up into the air, it looks just like a tombstone. Also cant get over the fact that Strange was so powerful that he totally fucked up the time stone, held back the crumbling of an entire universe around him, and also survived the ending of the said universe!

Technically it's a crystal not a bubble. And it's not floating in space cause there is no space in a destroyed universe. If a universe is destroyed, there is nothing left, not even space .

I loved the little touch that he was absorbing all those demons/creatures for years rather than hours. I’d really like to see this evil Dr Strange as opposed to Mephisto as the rumours are circling at the moment.

Had the same thought. Maybe Strange Supreme is MCU’s Mephisto.

[@yangismproductions4432]

This is my favorite episode in the whole show so far and I’d be surprised if it can be topped. Honestly believe that this is Oscar worthy. The way Benedict Cumberbatch delivers his lines with pure emotion really sells the weight of the tragic story. This is hands down the best of any Marvel animation project(s) ever. It’s a shame we didn’t get this in live action form because it’ll be looked over by tons of critics and movie goers. This episode is too impressive for this show

I love the fact his hands were the source of his ego. Also wanting to bargin at the end was very interesting as well. It's interesting to think is he encased in a form of infinity stone such as power...due to his consumption ?

[@RishiKumar-ie6ns]

It’s cool how the final colour of that crystal he’s trapped in turns purple. In the comics (and tv shows), Dr Strange’s power usually has a purple colour. I don’t know if that has more to it or it’s just a neat detail. I’ll take it as Strange having reached his true self after his trials… but at a terrible cost.

[@FalconFXICCY]

Have to admit, I enjoyed this episode way more than I expected to. It is the most fleshed out, most complete episode so far of the "What If" series. And you guys are spot on, this doesn't feel like an episode, it feels like a full fledged movie.

[@Samuel2oh9]

I like that strange acknowledges the watcher observing everything showing us that he’s a legit entity watching over everything and not just some bs character made for the story

Definitely my favourite episode so far! I felt fully invested for possibly the first time this series. I've enjoyed this show a lot but this episode has great character focus and let the emotional beats breathe a bit so it didn't feel quite so rushed and without real consequence. Granted yes I'm a Cumberbatch fan so i sound biased but I've enjoyed all the episodes a lot just this one finally properly got to my emotionally hahah!
