History YMMV / DoctorStrangeTheSorcererSupreme

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Dormammu]] is a demonic being who is [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed responsible for the destruction of his own homeworld]]. Upon discovering Earth, Dormammu tried to attack it, only to be driven off by the Ancient One, who [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned him in Nexus]]. To free himself, Dormammu put dozens of [[WouldHurtAChild children]] in a coma and used their minds to open enough veils to create a portal from Nexus to Earth. Influencing his monsters to rampage through the city and kill countless innocents, as well as the students of the Ancient One, Dormammu managed to free himself, after which he proclaimed his intention to [[OmnicidalManiac raze the Earth and eradicate humanity]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Mordo as being EvilAllAlong rather than having a FaceHeelTurn. Mordo always wanted to ascend to Sorcerer Supreme and a lot of his bad tactical calls that get his teammates killed may simply be him removing the Ancient One's allies for a takeover. He only turns to Dormammu when he feels that they're losing the war.
** [[FridgeBrilliance This may be why the Ancient One never intended for him to be his successor, and wasn't too surprised when Mordo betrayed him.]]

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Amongst the Ancient One's disciples, Adena seems to stand out the most. It helps that she's the one who choses to remain by Ancient One's side at the climax, [[spoiler:which sadly lead to both their deaths.]]
* WhatAnIdiot: Mordo's reasons for siding with Dormammu over the Ancient One are not only petty, but rather impractical. Frankly it's amazing Dormammu actually took him up on his offer of an allegiance in the first place, since other than killing the Ancient One, Mordo really couldn't offer the demon any real advantage over Strange anyway. Essentially, the only "good" use Dormammu got out of Mordo was the latter making it plain as day that Stephen was actively waking the former's coma victims.

* {{Tearjerker}}: April's illness [[spoiler:and death, and Stephen's anguish and inability to let go of it. As much of a jerk he was, the poor man was broken long before his hands were injured.]]
