Smartest MCU Character Suddenly Became The Dumbest One
Why did Marvel have to waste him like that?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been the talk of the town for years. With each new release, fans eagerly wait to see their favorite superheroes in action.
However, the appearance of Dr. Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home left many fans disappointed.
Let's take a look at the plot of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The movie follows Peter Parker as he seeks the help of Dr. Strange to erase everyone's memory of him being Spider-Man.
However, things go wrong and the multiverse is opened up, leading to the introduction of various villains from different universes.
While this may seem like an exciting storyline, the portrayal of Dr. Strange has left many fans questioning the character's intelligence.
Redditor Antman269 believes that the entire plot is based on Strange's mistake of rushing the spell and not doing what Peter wanted.
The fan thinks that the superhero should have informed Parker about how the enchantment works.
For example, make a list of people who should remember that Peter is Spider-Man instead of changing everything after the charm has already been triggered.
If Strange hadn't ignored these simple safety precautions, Peter wouldn't have had to clean up all the mess the multiverse made. Aunt May would also be alive, too.
The character who figured out a one-in-a-million possibility and saved the population of Earth suddenly turned out to be a simple-minded fool who doesn't know how magic works.
He also set up Peter who had to sacrifice his family to save the day.
And many fans agree.
"EXACTLY! I've been saying this since the movie came out only to get downvoted every time. […] It's a clear abuse of magic to mess with innocent people's memories, and it's not even for their own good as if their lives are in danger," Redditor zoecornelia said.
Dr. Strange's actions seemed poorly explained in Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, it is important to note that this is only one appearance of the character.
Hopefully the writers will do justice to the hero and his abilities in the future, even though his last standalone installment was pretty questionable.
