I'm so pissed oh my god. They literally just made him evil again and then killed him off for good. It reminds me of the character assasination of Wanda from MoM.
Also both Captain Carter and Kahhori were WAY too overpowered while Supreme Strange was greatly weaker than in the season 1 finale. Like I get that maybe Peggy could last a few minutes (with the infinity stones, protection spell, and ultron's armor,) but Kahhori had no business being able to withstand all of that. From what I understand, she only has powers from one of the infinity stones? While not even all of the stones combined were not able to defeat Strange in season 1, (don't get me started on how stupid was her whole character arc, with her being magically stronger and better than all the other people from her tribe and getting the hang of her powers in like a day.) And it was just laughable the writers literally had to give them every single weapon and power there is so they would even have a chance against him (which in the end still didn't work.) It was so obvious the writers had no idea how to actually make them defeat him, yet they really wanted to give Strange that ending.
And don't get me wrong, I get what they were trying to do with the parallels between Strange and Peggy, (with the whole "one accepts the loss of their loved one while the other wallows in grief until they go mad,") but making him DIE? What kind of message does that give? That the only way for him to escape from his grief and mistakes was to die? Did they truly have nothing better for him to do other than repeat the same mistake again (which he has learned from) and "sacrifice" himself (aka kill himself) at the end? The writers thought they were so clever with how "perfect" and "poetic" it would be for Strange to die so the universe he destroyed got repaired. But it completely destroyed the whole point of his character and the ending of his original episode. Like, he already learned! He could've atoned for his mistake by saving other universes or something, but noooo they just had to make him evil again because they had no better villain in mind, and even if they made a new villain Strange would 100% win because he's like one of the most op characters in the whole MCU. Maybe the only reason he died was because the writers had to get rid of him just so other villains could have a chance to actually do something. (Also just a small nit-pick, but they could've shown the Watcher have some kind of a reaction to Strange dying/going mad? Like weren't they some kind of friends or something in season 1?)
I know they were trying to make him into this tragic character that nothing good happens to and he just progressively gets worse and worse until he dies, but that's just so painfully grim it makes me sick, (it's hurts even more that he was the only reason I watched this show in the first place.) But I also don't think he should've gotten his universe or Christine back, it was an important part of his character that losing her was the price he had to pay for his mistake, but they could have just... made him accept it and try to do good?? Literally just WHY did they do that to him???
I'm pissed and done with this show since the only interesting character worth staying for is dead. Big screw you to the writers for ruining the best character from this wreck of a show.
