Christine Didn’t Truly Love Stephen

A very big patch point inWhat If … ?- which   sport the same romantic account between Christine and Stephen as the Sacred Timeline - was that   they were genuinely in love , with the latter destroy his universe just to make for her back to life . Doctor Strange 2retconned this when Christine revealed to Stephen that she could never truly love him .

This clashed with her actions in the first picture where she was devoted to Stephen even after they were broken up . The thought that she never actually roll in the hay Stephen also counterpoint with the premise ofWhat If … ?to make it appear that that version of Doctor Strange similarly did n’t have Christine ’s passion after all and just acted of his own accordance .

It’s Possible For Only One Variant Of A Character To Exist

It was established inDoctor Strange 2that there ’s only one America Chavez in the multiverse , which is hard to conceive since there are somegreat America Chavez storey in Marvel Comicsthat are also part of the multiverse . irrespective , taking America ’s title as fact retcons the breaker point established inLokiandSpider - Isle of Man : No Way Home .

The other MCU works had fiber state that there ’s a edition for every person in the multiverse , with several versions of Peter Parker and Loki shown to bear witness it . Now , America ’s front as the only one in macrocosm across the multiverse has created a new canyon where it ’s potential for a unique person to occur into being .

The Scarlet Witch And Wanda Maximoff Identities Can’t Coexist Peacefully

There have been plenty of times whereMCU ’s Scarlet Witch has n’t controlled her power , with the base ofWandaVisioncentering around this . In the same serial publication , it was constitute that Wanda was supposed to be the Scarlet Witch all along independent of the Darkhold .

InDoctor Strange 2 , however , it was revealed that the Darkhold had misdirect the Scarlet Witch role , meaning Wanda could n’t exist with her magical identity after all . Those that believed she would be the Scarlet Witch ground onWandaVisionnow have to accept that this former fact does n’t give anymore .

Karl Mordo Has Already Clashed Against Doctor Strange

A fate of fan want to see Karl Mordo fight against Doctor Strange because the setup was in the making for six days since the first pic . Not only did the MCU Karl Mordo not make an appearance , but Doctor Strange claimed that he already knew of Mordo ’s villainy .

In the original , Doctor Strange had no cue of Mordo ’s dark turn , meaning that the MCU has retconned an antagonism between the two of them that find offscreen . Fans now have to believe that the two former friend have already clashed and fought , which is why Doctor Strange was mindful that the Earth-838 Mordo was also a scoundrel .

Multiversal Travel Has Been Possible All Along

antecedently , multiversal events had happened purely by accident such as Doctor Strange ’s botched spell inSpider - Man : No way of life Home- stead like the Quantum Realm were count parallel attribute rather than the multiverse . DoctorStrange 2could go down as among the unspoilt multiverse picture show to be made , although have to take over some fact at face value .

This includes the reveal that America Chavez has been capable of multiversal travel for years , something that retcons the events ofLoki .   In the Disney+ serial publication , only the TVA was mindful of how this function and worked to prune any new universes from being born . Doctor Strange 2now makes it canyon that multiversal travelling has been possible the whole fourth dimension and the TVA might not have get it on about this .

Nightmares And Dreams Are Projections Of The Multiverse

There have been several clock time where the dreams of MCU characters have been shown or alluded to , such as Tony Stark ’s claims that he had nightmares of Thanos ’ arrival . Doctor Strange 2retconned dreams into being projections of the multiverse , intend that people do n’t really dream at all .

America arrogate that anything a person sees in their aspiration is happening to a variant of theirs in the multiverse - it would indicate that Tony ’s incubus were about what bump to another rendering of him . This retcon also modify the position of any dream mentioned in the MCU because it turns out those things actually happened .

The Designation Of The MCU’s Numbering

Among the biggest ways thatDoctor Strange 2has drastically changed the MCUis how it ’s designated . harmonise to Earth-838 Christine Palmer , the identity of the MCU is Earth-616 , which goes against the previously establish appellative of Earth-199999 .

In fact , this retcon has major branching for the Marvel Universe in its entirety because Earth-616 is supposed to be the premier reality of the cartoon strip ergo the source cloth . The new appellative of the MCU will no doubt open many debates on what the real Earth-616 is , but the films appear to want to institute this identity element for themselves .

There Was More Than One Way To Defeat Thanos

Doctor Strange looked into over 14 million hypothesis of how the conflict against Thanos would bet out , intimate that only one scenario is where they were winning . However , Earth-838 also had the exact same problem , with the reference there care to kill Thanos without triggering the Snap .

While fans were originally led to trust that the Snap had to materialise , Doctor Strange 2shows that more drastic option like Earth-838 ’s Illuminati ’s function of the Book of Vishanti would have shoot down the crazy Titan as well . It appear that the 1 in 14 million odds was n’t quite as concrete after all , at least according to the retcon .
