Is Doctor Strange Too Powerful For The Marvel Cinematic Universe?

The MCU's newest hero may be too powerful.

Is Doctor Strange Too Powerful For The Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Cosmic Book News

This past Saturday, I finally got to see the newest film the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) library. "Doctor Strange," starring Benedict Cumberbatch, is a tale of a broken man who seeks spiritual guidance to help heal his body. He learns not only to do this but also some freaky ways to fight off evil while rebuilding himself physically. That's the plot of the movie in a nutshell.

Before Doctor Strange's emergence into the MCU, the Avengers crew has had a solid balance of characters that, more or less, were all mortal. The Hulk is the strongest, but even he seems like he can go down for the count if the threat is big enough. Scarlet Witch is super powerful, but she's still learning to hone her skill, so she's not without fault.

With Doctor Strange now in the mix, one would wonder how Thanos would even be a threat to anyone now. I mean, if you really truly think about it.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD


Strange took down big bad Dormammu at the end of the film using his knowledge of his new gifts. Now Thanos, being that he may be able to control all the Infinity Stones may pose more of a threat, but with Strange being as advanced as he is, wouldn't you think he would find a way to work around it?

It also doesn't help that we have no real backstory for Thanos at this point. The dude just seems to like chilling in his chair, being all bad ass. Something needs to happen soon that makes us feel that he can do some damage. He's suffering from the same villain problem that has been a feature in the MCU flicks (Loki aside), and he's already been in a movie!

If Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch actually teamed up, and maybe brought the Hulk with them, possibly grabbing Thor as well, what really would be the need for any other characters? That's a super team right there! Iron Man and the gang can only do so much, outside of creating a diversion.

I know that the Russo brothers will figure this out, and I have faith. However, it may have been a mistake to have Strange be so good at the end of the movie, especially since he seemed to get all knowledge of everything regarding spiritual defense. Thanos is really going to have to knock out the power players one way or another to make way for the more common good guys to figure out a method to take him down. That Infinity Gauntlet hasn't really come into being yet so who knows what it can do? I may be worrying about something that could easily be figured out when the film is released.

Whatever the case, I can't wait to finally see the Infinity Wart come to life in 2018.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
