[S1E4] The Loss [CRACKED]
Tom Jorgensen gave the episode 8 out of 10 for IGN, calling it "the most haunting episode" of the series so far and an "effective cautionary tale about what loss can do to a person". He felt the darker direction of the episode best suited the series, and praised how the episode used Palmer's unpreventable death to represent "the effects of tragedy, of loss so painful we'd unmake the world to reverse it". Jorgensen also noted the Gothic horror elements in the episode, with Strange evoking both Dr. Jekyll and Victor Frankenstein. He criticized the decision to create two versions of Strange, feeling it was an unnecessary complication that existed just so the characters could fight at the end, and felt the fight itself did not feel fresh since it followed the common MCU trope of a hero fighting another version of themselves. Despite that, he praised the episode for "sticking the landing" and noted the ending as one of the darkest moments in the MCU.[41] Sam Barsanti of The A.V. Club was also disappointed with the fight between Strange and Strange Supreme, calling it "a little Dragon Ball-y in a dull way" especially when compared to the visuals of Doctor Strange. Barsanti did praise the episode's "what if" scenario and dark ending, believing they were both executed more successfully than in the previous episode, and gave "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?" a "B".[42]

We're back with another episode discussing What If...? This time we get to witness what would have happened if Doctor Strange hadn't been motivated by selfishness to become the Sorcerer Supreme. See, what ultimately motivates Stephen Strange to become a sorcerer in the movie is that he loses the ability to use his hands as a gifted surgeon. But in this What If episode he's motivated by the loss of Christine and trying to bring her back. It's an interesting idea that in this reality, its love and selflessness that leads the Doctor down a very dark path that ultimately destroys his universe. It also represents the first time we witness The Watcher be noticed by an individual and interact with them.
