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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
