( Such a small sentence, with such big implications.
Strange often wishes that he were able to consult the Ancient One and hear what she thinks. A fallible woman but a wise one, and infinitely more experienced than he was in this remit.
Never moreso than now. Where did his world and universe land in terms of free will? Where did the Masters of the Mystic Arts fall into this plan, of sacred timelines? Had they just been trapped in a box this whole time, administrating nothing? There’s timelines and branches and even, now, wholly separate multiverses, and yet even with time travel, it isn’t technically changing anything. Your past still died; you’re just making a new one. You’re not supposed to change the past. )
Y’know, ( he says, meditatively, ) I gotta say I’m actually a little relieved I’m no longer the official keeper of the Time Stone. All of this information is a mindfuck.
