Hm, did any of Strange's attempts involve pulling a Chrono Trigger? It's usually the right solution to this kind of timeline-defining deaths: Time Travel Escape + Decoy Getaway = prevent the death but make it seem like it still happened to avoid repercussions down the timeline.

I'm in an edit war to keep the 'surprising realistic outcome' entry. Obviously magic is not realistic but it's about the subversion of 'good guys always win' that's the 'realistic' part. It's listen on the main MCU sro page and I think it's valid. (If it should only be on that page, that's fine but it's not the reason people are deleting it)

Am I in the wrong here?

There's so much that's not realistic there that any kind of "realistic" outcome, surprising or not, is pretty much out the window.

Also it's predicated on "The Good Guy Wins" but that clashes with the fact that Strange Supreme is the Villain Protagonist so "the protagonist wins" is just as likely as "the good guy wins" narratively.

I agree with Larkmarn. That's a misuse.
