What If... ? episode 4 : What If Doctor Strange Lost His Heart

This episode diverges from the mainline MCU early in Strange's 2016 solo movie. Instead of traveling to his speaking conference alone and having his hands horribly injured in a car crash, fellow surgeon and lover Christine Palmer is with him. She's killed in the crash, which pushes Strange to learn the mystic arts. Reality shifts further when he uses the power of the Time Stone to travel back to the night Christine died and tries to change that event. Nonetheless, he mess it up and has to deal with the consquences of saving Christine from death.

"If I hadn't changed the reality, our universe wouldn't have been destroyed!".

Third conditional

• Third Conditional sentences are never based on fact. They express a hypothetical situation in the past. The situation did not happen.
• The hypothetical situation is explained by a backshifting of the past tense to the past perfect.
• Third Conditional = If + Past Perfect, Would / Could + Have + Past Participle

• If Dr. Strange hadn't ignored warnings about the consequences, the multiverse wouldn't have spiraled into chaos.

• If Dr. Strange had chosen a different path, the events leading to the creation of dark and dangerous timelines wouldn't have unfolded.
• If Dr. Strange hadn't been so desperate to alter the past, the multiverse wouldn't have been on the brink of destruction.
