Show me you donāt know a thing about Doctor Strange without telling me you donāt know a thing about Doctor Strange
Because I am SO done of seeing bs on the internet from people who only watched Infinity War or hate Stephen.
Some people noticed that the plot for Spider-Man: No Way Home is quite similar to that one time in which Stephen conjured a spell to erase peopleās memories on Peterās identity so he could have his life back after Civil War.
We will get there. But before we touch this specific story, weāre going back to the 60ā²s, in Strange Tales v1. Stephen was basically a M.I.B. He used to erase peopleās minds ALL THE TIME but there IS a reason. The first is, Lee and Kirby didnāt know a better way to defeat magic users, mostly because Stephen (usually) doesnāt kill. So how do you lock someone who can easily escape through magic? Itās simple. You make them forget magic. And this is how Stephen āpunishedā the evil sorcerers who dared attack innocent people.
Thereās also the concept that people cannot bear the idea that the supernatural is real. Even Moon Knight did that for years, Stephen being the first one to tell him the supernatural is very real.
When it comes to Peter? Stephen was guided by guilt for not taking sides in Civil War. Iāve talked about this before. So itās only natural to asssume heād do anything to make it up for the ones he wronged, starting with the New Avengers and, of course, Peter Parker, the one who suffered the most with this event. This is why Stephen summons Superior Iron Man and Reed Richards and force them to be accountable for their mistakes.
Of course, this begets the issue of morality. But please be aware that your heroes are not perfect. They make TONS AND TONS of mistakes. Youāre just wrong to assume your fave is perfect because thereās no such thing as perfection, and comics are fantasy based on human emotions. Your heroes on big screen WILL make mistakes because they ARE humans, stop whining and deal with it.
Please, shut up. Youāre just embarrassing yourself. Let me show why.
MCU!Stephen is an adorable and arrogant dork. He will mess up with time even when he was told not to. Heās light-hearted whenever heās around Wong. And maybe he will even smile before pain and death. You just watched Infinity War and assumed Stephen was a serious, edgy, arrogant and perfect sorcerer. Heās not. Heās so much more. Gods, people who say this are so stupid, please, Iām becoming dumber and dumber whenever I read their bs.
Messing up a spell (Damnation #1)
Being goofy (X-Statix Presents: Deadgirl #2)
Being a reckless little b1tch (Avengers v8 #5)
Literally casting a spell to wipe peopleās memories of Peter Parker along with Tony and Reed because Peter asked him to do so. (Amazing Spider-Man #641)
Point me again where Stephen is out of character, please?

Scott Derrickson didnāt use the darkest references to write Doctor Strange (2016) for you to come and complain about Stephenās characterization and discredit comic books shut up shut up shut up pleaaase EVERYTHING YOUāRE SEEING ON THE BIG SCREEN WAS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY COMICS. YOU CANāT POSSIBLY BE THIS STUPID. Also hereās a very rational analysis between the two versions. Theyāre ridiculously similar.
Not a Skrull. Not Mephisto. Not out of character. Shut up about #notmystephen. Youāre just wrong.
