One of the quietest moments in DoctorStrange in the MultiverseofMadness is also the one with the most significant emotional impact.

It’s been a while since every new Marvel Cinematic Universe entry has been filled with explosive moments to make the audience cheer in theaters — or while facing their TV. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is no different, having introduced multiple alternate dimensions, the Illuminati, and even turning Wanda Maximoff into a full-blown villain. However, one of the quietest moments in the film is also the one with the most significant emotional impact.

Created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jackson Guice for 1989’s Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #9, Donna Strange was introduced as the late younger sister of Stephen. When both Stephen and Donna were young, she had a minor accident and needed his brother's help to heal, awakening Stephen's desire to study medicine. However, when Donna was only 17 years old, she drowned after going for a swim with Stephen.

By introducing Donna’s death into the MCU, MoM allows Stephen Strange to grow beyond his arrogance. Once he realizes how deeply his sister's demise affected him, Stephen can accept that his controlling habits lead him to isolate himself, a path that can only end in sadness. The acceptance of things he cannot change allows the MCU Stephen to become a better person, growing being his flaws. By the end of MoM, Stephen decides to fix his broken watch, willing to let the wounds of the past heal.
