He was only in AEG for like 2 minutes, what did he do in that timeframe that would knock him back? 

 

Nothing worthwhile so I'm gravely suspect on that 14m scenario shit with only one outcome working that left his useless ass alive.

I mean that's all a writing/production decision to close a bunch of character arcs. There's like 20 different things off the top of my head they could have done to stop Thanos in IW that didn't happen lol

All characters are a sum of their writing and acting. 

 

He's difficult to like at his best - when written the way he was in AEG - fuck him.

I just want to know what Strange was thinking when he saw the 1 in 14 million chance was because of a rat saving the universe.

Multiverse shenanigans will no doubt be one of the movie’s big selling points, but how effective will that be, now that the novelty is no longer there?

Seeing all these heroes team up will no doubt be one of [Infinity War’s] big selling points, but how effective will that be, now that the novelty is no longer there?

[Legion Again]

It’s true that Strange is not that likable.   
 

He should smile more in this one 😏

Flash movie is really curious about the answer to this question

[Legion Again]

I suspect MCU can wring half a dozen huge movies/boosts outta multiverse. Quantumania on deck hopefully.

The best thing they did was put him with Tony. I instantly was on Strange’s side!!

Nah, it just made him look even more like the creepy charmless cold Stark knock off he is.

In strange’s defense he was deliberately a weak ignorant asshole in the origins story as part of his character arc, and since then has only appeared in supporting roles where it makes sense for him to assume a more severe posture as part of the character dynamic vs the MCU’s over abundance of lighthearted quipster types. DS2 is the first best chance to actually be likable, so we’ll see what comes of it.

Except I tend to doubt he'll get much space to arc his character in this chaos, either... as Cumby has already himself alluded to!

People really seem to misunderstand the implications of that quote 🤣

I don’t get how people dislike Cumberbatch Strange, as he’s kind of less insufferable RDJ Stark post-IM3. Bland sure but most of these heroes aren’t really dislikable.

Ultimately who cares about Stephen.  Wong going to be the true star here.

People do like Wong

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Every movie needs Wong popping in and then out via magic portals.

That’s a bit of a flawed comparison, unless you think this movie will make more than NWH. Besides, I didn’t even say that it wouldn’t be a big hit. Just that I can’t imagine it matching the hype that people had for NWH.

It doesn't need NWH hype to open to $200M

I find Strange entertaining to watch. Not likable per se but I think he adds a nice dynamic to the MCU. Him and Wanda will have an interesting dynamic for sure.
