What If . . . ? [s1e04]

What If . . . Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?

by A. C. Bradley, directed by Bryan Andrews
As we all know, when the world’s formost surgeon, Doctor Strange, lost the use of his hands in a car wreck, it prompted him to search out mystic treatments and eventually become the Master of the Mystic Arts. But what if he had lost something else in that wreck?
— Michael Main
The Ancient One: Her death is an Absolute Point in time.
Dr. Strange: Absolute?
A.O.: Unchangable. Unmovable. Without her death, you would never have defeated Dormamu and become the Sorcerer Supreme—and the guardian of the Eye of Agamotto. If you erase her death, you never start your journey.

TIME TRAVEL ITINERARY (SPOILERS!)
  1. From Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum, two years after losing Christine ⋙ to outside Christine’s building, the night of the crash. Multiple trips. Note: We counted at nine attempts to save Christine.
  2. From shortly after the crash, two years after losing Christine ⋙ to near the Library of Cagliostro, centuries before. Note: We believe this is in the past because Strange then spends several centuries absorbing various demons at which time he is then back in the present.
