    Another small thing you missed is how Strange changed his mind on demonic insects.
    When he sees the first bug, he declines to absorb it, saying that he “draws the line at bugs” (or something like that.) Later, during the montage, Strange has some distinctly insect like appendages. Meaning that he’s definitely changed the lines that he’s willing to cross on his mad quest.
    Obviously that’s not the worst line to cross, but it’s a very clear example of his changed opinions.

    When he says "I could warn him, but his reality is not worth risking all the others." I think the Watcher was saying "This will be tragic to watch, but it must happen" because he plans to enlist Supreme Strange for his own multiverse saving cause later on. The Watcher knows something is coming and he needs somebody as strong as Supreme Strange to fight it, so his universe is just collateral damage for the greater good.

      Didnt the ancient one said something about a loop. Where if christines death didnt happen, strange wouldnt be sorcerer supreme therefore couldnt turn back time creating a loop. This is similar to stranges hand being messed up in mcu. If he turned back time to make it never happen. That cant happen since thats also an asbolute point. From what i saw i think absolute points are just things that causes paradox and that cant happen

    I don’t think absolute points apply to Kang and quantum MCU timelines and all that. Instead it’s a purely time stone based rule. You can’t use the time stone to go back in time if you never get the stone in the first place. Christine has to die for the timestone to be in stranges possession. If this was Quantum time travel it wouldn’t matter, the timeline would branch and you could do whatever in that timeline

    This episode was so touching. Many people can relate and will do anything to bring their past love one back especially if they past tragically before old age.

    Notice how in this episode the watcher didn’t say “I cannot will not interfere” like he usually does because I’m this video he did actually interfere

      I think he knew like Loki that he could only interfere if it didn't have major ramifications on the timeline.

      Some ppl are saying he interfered by saving strange, keeping him in that bubble instead of disappearing with the rest of the universe

    Anyone else think that the glass prism he is in at the end is actually a mirror dimension that he made for himself and Christine?

    Also when O’Bengh tells strange that he is half of himself, his face marking, which covers half of his face, is faded, showing how strange has lost himself in trying to become more powerful
