{{Needs More Tropes}}
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: Happens twice, both by {{spoiler|Maximoff. First to Kamar-Taj, and then to the Illuminati base.}}
* [[Alternate Self]]: A whopping three Strange variants appear, as well as {{spoiler|an alternate Black Bolt, Captain Marvel (here being Monica Rambeau instead of Carol Danvers), Carter, Maximoff, Mordo, Palmer, Richards and
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: A lot of named characters die.
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: {{spoiler|Maximoff is defeated when Chavez gives her exactly what she wants by creating a portal to Earth-838 and letting her meet that universe's version of her boys. They are scared of her and want their real mother, the 838 version of her, instead. This causes her to have a [[Heel Realization]].}}
* [[The Cameo]]: {{spoiler|Frequent Raimi collaborator [[Bruce Campbell]] appears as a street food vendor.}}
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]: A [[Flash Sideways]] version; dreams show what's happening to your variants. Chavez knows that she's unique in the multiverse because she's never dreamt before.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Strange kills Gargantos by spearing it in the eye with a lamppost.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Unless most of the others, the death of {{spoiler|Captain Carter}} is depicted this way. We are shown her {{spoiler|shield}} sent flying back at her, her face changing expression, followed by the now-bloodstained {{spoiler|shield}}, but not the state of the corpse.
* [[[Heroic Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Maximoff, finally come to a [[Heel Realization]], brings down Mount Wundagore, destroying all copies of the Darkhold across the multiverse and apparently killing herself in the process.}}
* [[Hope Spot]]: {{spoiler|Xavier gets into Maximoff's head and attempts to get the 838 her back in control. Then the 616 her tracks him down and kills him.}}
* [[Mama Bear]]: How far is it justifiable to go for your children? This question in relation to Maximoff and her boys drives the film.
* [[More Expendable Than You]]: {{spoiler|A survivor of Maximoff's attack on Kamar-Taj destroys the Darkhold instead of letting Wong do it, dying in the process.}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]:
** Strange now has spells that summon creatures to do his bidding, which is portrayed similarly to the Strange Supreme variant from ''[[What If...? (TV series)|What If...?]]'' A Darkhold-corrupted Strange variant has a [[Third Eye]] also similar to what Strange Supreme eventually developed.
** When {{spoiler|Professor X}} first appears, a rearrangement of {{spoiler|the ''[[X-Men (TV series)|X-Men cartoon]]'''s theme plays. This Xavier variant, while still played by [[Patrick Stewart]], also has clothing and a hoverchair resembling said cartoon's depiction.}}
* [[The Stinger]]: Two as is now usual with MCU films. First, {{spoiler|an unnamed sorceress approaches Strange to tell him that his actions have triggered an incursion that he must fix, before cutting open a portal to the Dark Dimension.}} Second, {{spoiler|the street food vendor played by Bruce Campbell finally has stopped hitting himself.}}
* [[Third Eye]]: A Darkhold-corrupted Strange variant has this, though he can hide it initially. {{spoiler|616 Strange develops this as well after using the Darkhold himself.}}
* [[Treachery Cover-Up]]: {{spoiler|838 Strange did not die fighting Thanos as the statue of him states. In truth, his use of the Darkhold to try to defeat Thanos caused a universe-destroying incursion. After Thanos's slaying, the Illuminati executed him.}}
* [[The Worf Effect]]: {{spoiler|Maximoff kills off the 838 Illuminati. Black Bolt, Mr Fantastic and Professor X die quite easily. Captains Carter and Marvel give her more of a fight, but ultimately don't do any real damage.}}
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: {{spoiler|Maximoff kills Black Bolt by making his mouth disappear while he's using his power, causing it to backfire and blow up part of his head instead.}}
