Now remember folks. They can't destroy the universe in every episode or it gets boring.

But we got Strange;Gate, we got Strange Megami Tensei, we got the Thing with Two Stranges.

What made her death an "absolute point in time" if it didn't happen in the movie?

The same thing that made Loki getting the tessaract as an action going against the one timeline, but the Avengers reacting to that and going back in time to be an action perfectly in sync with said timeline.

The Time Stone overwrites and doesn't cause splits. Thus her death became an Absolute Point because avoiding it would cause a paradox.

If he used the Avenger's method, it would split the timeline instead and she'd still be dead in one timeline.

However, him defeating Dormammu and becoming the Sorcerer Supreme didn't necessarily need Christine to die. Losing his hands would have worked, but it's simply something he wouldn't have known about.

No, the answer is "because plot". If Loki getting the tessaract goes against it everything that follows as a direct result must also go against it.

The Ancient One spelled out what happened pretty clearly. It's not the same thing as Loki taking the Space Stone. That caused a split in the timeline. It was just some arbitrary thing to stop splits and maintain one timeline.

This caused a paradox, hence the destruction of the universe.

What a cool episode. This show just keeps getting better and better. Last two episodes have been great.

Different universe which has a different absolute point of time. In a way every episode of this show happens because of a single alternative 'absolute point of time' that creates a new universe.

Perhaps there was a way for him to sacrifice his hands instead of Christine but I think ultimately fate was on a different course for this universe.

That was when the prime timeline was a thing. That's gone now. Previously the Time Bureau would have pruned this timeline.

To the TVA, what Loki did was functionally the same as deciding to take your car instead of walking to work. They'd have pruned this timeline when Strange decided to take Christine to the ceremony.

Strange lost something of importance to him; Reality Prime his hands, Reality Alternate his girlfriend. Both led him to study the mystic arts.

I thought the ending was super dark; Strange confined to his own little bubble universe, barely 3 meters across at it's widest. Alone.

Oh actually i just saw pointed out that Strange in this reality was more focused on Christine than his job. So the reality was already different than the prime timeline. Losing his hands in this universe probably wouldn't have lead to the Sorcerer Supreme.

Which is valid. I've watched/played a lot of things where once was enough.
