in the fourth episode "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?" Dr. Stephen Strange invited his girlfriend Christine Palmer to the dinner. However, the two suffered a car accident on the way, and the latter was seriously injured and killed. In the case of his girlfriend's death, Stephen Strange set off to Kamar-Taj to learn mysterious magic.

Stephen Strange won the Eye of Agamotto (Eye of Agamotto),Learned to manipulate time. However, at that time, the Supreme Mage Gu Yihe Wang warned him that manipulating time at will may lead to the collapse of reality. On the second anniversary of his girlfriend's death, Stephen Strange used the Eye of Argod to reverse time many times, hoping to save Christine Palmer. Although Stephen Strange can reverse time, Christine Palmer died in a different way each time. This scene is like "The Moonlight Treasure Box of the First One Hundred and One Episode of Journey to the West" in which Stephen Chow, who plays supreme treasure , saves the suicidal Bai Jingjing through the moonlight treasure box.

After that, the Supreme Magician Gu Yi told Stephen Strange that Christine Palmer's death was an unchangeable "absolute point" (Absolute Point). However, Stephen Strange was unwilling to follow the advice of the Supreme Mage Gu Yi, and hoped to use the power of darkness, so the Supreme Mage Gu Yi split the timeline into two, and the audience can see the blackened Stephen Strange continuously summon monsters from the Book of Cagliostro , And absorb their power; and another Stephen Strange began to accept the fact that his girlfriend is dead.

The final battle was of course the Dark Supreme Doctor Strange battle against Stephen Strange, but because the former was too strong, he successfully absorbed Stephen Strange. After gaining more power, the Dark Supreme Doctor Strange successfully reversed time and brought Christine Palmer back to life.But the whole world fell into extinction instantly. Regrettably, he asked the observer for help, but the latter made it clear that he would not interfere in the matter. Finally Christine Palmer died again in the arms of the Supreme Doctor Strange.

At the same time, observers warned: "Every life, every choice, and every moment can instantly destroy the entire universe." A fan admitted that this was Spider-Man in "Vengeance". Alliance 3: Infinity War" (Avengers: Infinity War) is the most heart-wrenching ending. And the appearance of this episode, let fans begin to understand that "What If...?" may have an important influence on the Marvel movie universe. In fact, Brad Winderbaum, executive producer of "What If...?", once pointed out that "What If...?" is as important as " " (Loki): It’s a coincidence, but after the three episodes were broadcast, this promise was not fulfilled.” So how will Spider-Man: No Way Home, which opened the multiverse, affect the Marvel movie universe? ?
