you mean like the Supreme Intelligence in Captain Marvel?
I agree with what Kevin Feige said at the time.. it was gonna be a hot potato no matter what they did, so they went “other worldly” and Bowie was already gone by then

To the commenters saying, “no but Biden and the Democrats actually...”

Shut up. You sound dumb. They invited John Kasich to the Democratic National Convention. Famously anti-abortion John Kasich. While Republicans were actively torpedo-ing the country.

We’ve known for a while that a lot of Blue Team is being purposely…

I already said this in the “Carol of the Bells” feature, but I’ll say it again: I like my nice TV friends being nice to each other. And hey, if Ted Lasso isn’t your thing, then far be it for me to tell you how to feel about it. Personally, I don’t need sustained conflict; I already have that every single goddamn day…

The TVA agents weren’t aware of it, but the “Sacred Timeline” was really just any timeline that doesn’t produce a Kang variant. This episode’s universe ceases to exist a thousand years before Nathaniel Richards would even be born, so it doesn’t concern He Who Remains, because it wouldn’t lead to another Kang.

Had the driver also been the gunman that showed up, it's definitely would have felt like Two Distant Strangers. Then Christine collapsed while dancing, which turned it from tragedy to farce for me. Which I don't mind because I need more chuckles these days.

I figured the divergent point was probably Stephen deciding to be present in the relationship rather than prioritizing his career over her.

The die was cast the moment RBG decided she needed to be replaced by the first woman President. She exercised some poor judgment, and her legacy now includes having been the first domino to fall in what will probably end up being the most conservative SCOTUS in decades at a time when the democratic foundation of the…

“Because Biden doesn’t really care much about abortion rights. He flip flopped on it during the 2020 primary as a matter of political convenience, not because he suddenly changed his mind about a core moral issue in his late-70s.”

This is just not true. I vividly remember during the VP debate against . . . Paul Ryan,…

Rachel McAdams is a lovely lady and a fine actress, but I just don’t think she has a distinctive enough voice to where I would have noticed.

She was Owen Wilson’s fiancée in Midnight in Paris, though she wasn’t exactly a “dream girl”, nor was Owen Wilson a “god”, but hey it sort of counts!

Thats what I was thinking , not sure if you mean the 2002 version  ,it’s not a great movie ,( but it does have an amazing soundtrack) but the same thing happened to the time traveller when he kept going back and failing to save his partners life.

Batch of Cumbers sounded like himself, as did Benedict Wong and the Tildanator. And Rachel McAdams is a lovely lady and a fine actress, but I just don’t think she has a distinctive enough voice to where I would have noticed.

With the hints that there actually are connections between the show’s episodes like the tentacle monster, I actually kind of got the impression that car deliberately ran Strange off the road, which is going to be explained later.

There’s so many things in Ragnarok that get me every time.

In this What If…? reality, though, Strange decides to invite Rachel McAdams’ Dr. Christine Palmer to the event...

I’m quite partial to

It does make sense, and I spent most of the episode being annoyed at how the concept of What-If universes and the concept of the timelines here (which are probably not even the same kind of timelines as in Loki...probably?) do not work well together.

It stopped me for a second too, but I finally decided that this universe had Christine dying as an Absolute Point.

The “main” universe probably had Strange losing the use of his hands at that point. Imagine Main Strange doing the same thing, only signaling, taking different route, paying attention to road instead of…

The only thing that confused me about this episode, was the premise that Christine was supposed to die. Yes I know this is a What If universe, but in our (sacred?) timeline Christine doesn’t die, so it’s not like she HAS to die.

I think the best way to translate it into live action is to make the energy effect animated rather than CGI.
