It's Strange

hi, i’m… peter parker.

Baby Boomer:

1. He magnificently arrived with his usual elegant self with the rest of Team Titan

His grand entrance just scream sass

“YOUR SAVIOUR IS HERE”

2. Stephen and wong little conversation that actually has a significant meaning.

This conversation between Wong and Stephen confirmed that Stephen Strange got a big role behind the scenes that we couldn’t get the chance to see on the big screen and he is doing a hell hard job in quite a short time.

Stephen and everyone else takes a little bit longer to arrive because they just got re-dusted and most of the living creatures in the universe didn’t have the luxury to actually know what’s going on.

Stephen is the one who has full picture about where the battle will take place because he has seen it all, imagine him going around telling the news and the plan to help the Avengers defeating Thanos and asking for the rest of his mystic arts family through the universe to help with the portal, he had so many tasks to do and he has to do it fast because he knows how much the avengers need everyone to help them and also fulfilling his prophecy, the one he had seen to happen.

3. Fighting Thanos’ armies like a boss

Even though it was short, but his fighting style is always a feast to see, the range of magic that he knew and he knows the way to wield it to his advantage, we stan, one capable man.

this scene is followed with Tony stark coming his way, confronting him about 1 in 14,000,605 possibilities he told Tony on Titan, even on this scene Stephen already look quite sad when he told Tony “if I told you what happened, it won’t happen”.

4. Holding the flood up by himself like a true sorcerer supreme that he is, the master of mystic arts!

This scene is so iconic because it’s just so badass to fight against the nature, I know why marvel put him in this position, if he join the fight with the rest of the main avengers, he might steal their thunder with his skill and he wasn’t the main hero here, so they gave him something to handle and we won’t be wondering why Doctor strange didn’t just like help them more or something.

5. Keeping eyes on the main battle between Thanos and the avengers.

It must be hard for him to see them fail, loosing over and over again, he must have secretly wish it doesn’t have to come to the same end he already saw.

When there was no hope anymore, Tony look at his way, Stephen looks like he is holding back his tears when raised his index finger, telling Tony to seize the moment, now or never, he knows Tony’s stark fate that he must do the inevitable in order for them to win this fight.

6. His attendance at Tony stark’s memorial

1) Going back in time doesn’t change your own present day. All it does is create a new timeline, which is pretty much an alternate universe. Think of the new timeline as a branch from the main timeline, with the starting point being the moment when the time travelers arrive. The events of the past movies can’t be altered in any way.

2) When Ancient One says they’ll be dooming her new reality by taking away the Infinity Stones, she means that the Avengers could potentially be crippling the alternate universes they are creating with their travels. Think about it, without the Time Gem, Alternate 2012 Doctor Strange won’t be able to defeat Dormammu. That’s why the Avengers have to return the gems by the end of the movie.

3) That said, they didn’t erase the new timelines they made. Erasing the alternate universes would mean the Avengers would have to erase all the trips back to the past (erasing the starting point). Which we already know they can’t do since they can’t undo their past actions. What they’re actually doing is making sure they aren’t dooming any of those alternate universes to an apocalyptic future. Go back to the Doctor Strange example, by returning the Time Gem to Alternate 2012, the Avengers made sure Alternate 2012 Doctor Strange can defeat his universe’s version of Dormammu.

4) MCU Nebula is able to shoot and kill Alternate 2014 Nebula since by that point, Alt Nebula became her own person. She exists on a separate timeline / universe. Using Arrowverse terms, think of Alt Nebula as her doppelgänger.

5) The Avengers are able to return to their own timeline due to the Ant-Man GPS, which is set to the moment they leave to the past. Like Scott says, it’s a “round trip”.

6) Steve Rogers did not live in the MCU past. The Russos have already confirmed that Steve created an alternate 1946, in which he settles down with Peggy and presumably destroys HYDRA before they grow inside SHIELD. After growing old, he uses the Ant-Man GPS and jumps back to the MCU timeline to give the shield to Sam. Agent Carter is still canon, Steve settled down with Alt 1946 Peggy. That being said, the exact point where Steve jumped back to the main timeline is unclear.

7) Going back to point four, that’s why Thanos of 2014 is able to arrive in 2023. Thanos of 2014 is now his own person due to the actions of the Avengers. The only time we see main, MCU Thanos was the opening scene. Think of it like this; there are two versions of Thanos we see in the movie and they’re from two different universes.

8) Yes, this does mean that the Gamora we now have is a doppelgänger of the main timeline Gamora. It’s pretty much the same character but without any of the character development from the Guardians movies and Infinity War. It’s not “our” Gamora but “a” Gamora. Unfortunately, unless Soul World can be opened, main universe Gamora is still dead (maybe this is where Adam Warlock comes in?)

9) Main universe Gamora was sacrificed for main universe Soul Gem. Main universe Black Widow sacrificed herself for Alternate 2014 universe Soul Gem. Two different universes, two different Soul Gems.

10) The Avengers created five alternate universes as a result of their travels (2012, 2013, 2014, 1970, 1946). Alt 2014 might actually be peaceful since they lost their Thanos.  EDIT: correction, there’s six alternate universes. Clint’s test run, when he called for Lila and she went downstairs.

If you have the means, go see Captain Marvel opening week. Do not let this movie flop because of a bunch of guys who think comics aren’t for girls, that girls should be more lady like (I.e. Brie should be smiling in the posters), and think that this movie should and will fail because it features a strong and powerful female lead, just because these guys are insecure about themselves. Make this movie DRIP IN DOLLAR BILLS. Show them that girls are powerful and that Brie Larson kicks ass. Then go back and rate the movie to shove it in their faces.
