History Awesome / DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness

*** Even then, we should give Captain Carter and Captain Rambeau credit where it is due. Captain Carter herself was able to keep up with Wanda's attacks with her jetpack, shield and resourcefulness, using whatever she has to continue the brawl, though she shouldn't have stood still when her shield was telekinetically launched at her. Her most amazing factor? [[{{Determinator}} Her sheer determination]]. [[CallBack "Oh, I could do this all day.", she says.]] Captain Marvel, Maria Rambeau, also has the powers of flight, binary powers and sheer strength to keep moving and evading Wanda's assaults as well, only getting done in when Wanda overpowers her with some sort of depower and a falling statue.

* An understated one, but the fact that ''Doctor Strange'', '''not''' the Scarlet Witch, is considered by the heroes across the Multiverse to be the [[GodzillaThreshold greatest threat to all reality,]] to the point they consider Wanda to be just a "little witch" in comparison [[UnderestimatingBadassery (though of course that was a HUGE mistake on their part)]] and in some universes ''[[TooPowerfulToLive had to kill him]]''. While Stephen is obviously [[ThisCannotBe shaken]] that he's capable of such death and destruction, it's a silent reminder that [[TheArchmage Stephen Strange]] was destined for greatness no matter what universe he was in or what shape it took.

* Strange and Wong battling Gargantos in Manhattan, ending with Strange ripping out the beast’s eye.
** This scene really should be elaborated upon. Strange immediately holds the creature at bay and notices it's targeting something inside a bus. He uses his incredible skill to take the bus apart a la Mirror Dimension physics and quickly seizes America Chavez, the person the creature was after.
** When it hurls the bus at Strange, he forms a giant buzz saw and ''cleaves'' the thing in half, just like in the trailers.
** The Cloak gets credit for being the one to get America to safety and actively aiding Strange against Gargantos after the former was knocked unconscious.
** Wong is quick to spring into action and showcases why he's the Sorcerer Supreme, conjuring an awesome [[CoolSword blade on a tangible rope]] and utilizing spells very effectively against the beast.
** There's also the transition to how this scene starts: Stephen very nonchalantly jumps out of the balcony and summons his entire Sorcerer getup to fly to the battle. Understandably, the entirety of the wedding guests began pulling out their phones and cheering, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall probably much like any MCU fan]]. Christine's new husband is even awestruck watching, having been established as an admirer too. [[RuleOfCool Imagine getting to see your favorite superhero in action on your wedding day--that is quite the (accidental) wedding gift]] from Doctor Strange.

* In an extremely dark way, Wanda demolishing the Illuminati. It's barely even a fight. The only one she never beats is Mordo, and that's purely because he's elsewhere at the time.
** Wanda in general. Not even Hela dished out as many one sided {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s of top tier opponents, and Strange, one of the most powerful Avengers, willing to take on Thanos armed with two Infinity Stones in a straight fight (and match him), never even pretends he has a chance in a direct engagement.

** The moment Chavez starts getting her powers under control, it's easy to assume it will be the part of the film where she dishes out a devastating counterattack. In actuality, her newfound control barely does anything other than stagger Wanda for a short while before she catches a punch that had enough strength to tear open a portal to another universe.

* Wanda's arrival at the Tomb of the Damned at Mount Wundagore, mixed with pure nightmare fuel. An accursed temple on unholy ground, and the origin of the Darkhold itself. They enter, the guardians emerge... and ''bow to her.'' The temple is revealed to be a throne room from which [[ApocalypseMaiden Wanda is to rule or destroy the multiverse.]] The implications are equally awesome and horrifying.

* A small, yet powerful moment is when Dr. Strange and America Chavez are travelling around the multiverse after escaping from Wanda. We see them travelling to a crystal universe, a toonverse, a waterworld and ''even'' a world made purely of paint. This scene demostrates the potential of the multiverse and how there can be a giant amount of wacky universes.

* Strange (Earth-616) is sent flying into a piano by Sinister Strange. After getting back on his feet, he spots the sheet music lying around and uses it to create a symphony to attack his variant. Not to be outdone, Sinister Strange throws the attack back at him. The soundtrack in that scene by Danny Elfman is spellbinding, no pun intended.

* Six words: [[CallBack "I could do this all day."]]

** Stephen challenging Wanda (even if only to buy some time) is full of awesome. For one, not only does Strange ''[[NervesOfSteel never]]'' lose his cool when [[SeenItAll Wanda crawls through the gong and threatens to kill them,]] but he also manages to make her resolve falter a little when he questions just how monstrous her actions have become. Wanda states she just wants to be with her children no matter the universe, but Stephen looks her in the eye and simply asks [[ArmorPiercingQuestion "And what about the Wanda in that universe? What happens to ''their'' mom?"]] As she begins to [[IgnoredEpiphany gather herself again,]] Strange summons serpents from his hands that lash at her like venomous whips, but for every head she cuts off two more take their place. That's right, '''Doctor Strange attacked the Scarlet Witch with a Hydra.'''

** She's also figured out how to dream-walk, multiversal {{Body Surf}}ing, even overpowering versions of herself that are pretty powerful witches in their own right.

** The very fact that this movie confirms the MCU is indeed the classic Earth-616 is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome in itself.

** Despite the heavy costs it took to do so, these heroes managed to kill their version of Thanos, who was armed with the Space, Power, Reality, and Mind Stones, a feat that our Doctor Strange said was basically impossible.

* In TheStinger, Doctor Strange is walking down the street and is greeted by an unfamiliar face, who insists he has work to do in recompense for all his past actions. Who is this person? '''[[ComicBook/DoctorStrange CLEA]],''' who opens a portal into the Dark Dimension. Strange immediately suits up and joins her.

* At one point, Strange and America Chavez open a door to another dimension, which floats within a very colourful and unique dimension, one that will either serve as important or be one of MANY different worlds in the film proper.

* The introduction of the Illuminati is ''very'' cool, with all the characters, '''Captain Carter''' included, making one hell of an entrance. The kicker? '''[[Creator/PatrickStewart Professor X]]''' returns once again and even better '''[[ComicBook/MisterFantastic Reed Richards]]''' is FINALLY introduced to the MCU, played by none other than Creator/JohnKrasinski!! It's a lineup for the ages and they all get a moment to shine!

** Props to Strange for getting the jump on Wanda several times, even using an illusion to trick her into the Mirror Dimension as opposed to simply forcing her into it. It really sets the ccontrast for these two in the movie, showing how the ''[[UnskilledButStrong strongest]]'' magic wielder fares against the ''[[WeakButSkilled best]]'' magic wielder. While both have skill and strength, it's clear [[DavidAndGoliath who has more of what]] and it's incredible to watch.

** Also, how it's set up. Strange realizes the best way to needle Mordo is to play up to his ego, accusing him of being jealous of his world's Strange and goading him into an attack...which allows Strange to break free of his mystical cuffs.

** Souls of the Damned come pouring out of Strange, and what does Palmer (Earth-838) do? Use a magical artefact and a torch as a firehose to put them down and give a semi-comatose Strange a RousingSpeech. Bonus points to Christine actually [[CallBack knowing how to]] [[Film/DoctorStrange2016 use the relic]].

* Christine (Earth-838) managing to fight off the damned souls using light to destroy them. More specifically, she uses a chalice-like relic and a candle to do so--seemingly the same relic that Strange attempted, but failed, to use against Kaecilius in the first film.
