Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

dr strange is very very very very very very very very very powerful. by the time his second movie comes he would be even stronger. therefore they need to compensate and these guys have a power level over 900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, which is stronger than Stranges.
we both just said the same thing. Now here comes the problem on how to make such characters fight in live action

Except Doctor Strange is not "very very (etc) powerful." If the movie is an origin story, then it might just be about him first becoming Sorcerer Supreme and he won't have the experience or power necessary to face some of those villains. And even then, there are plenty of villains that have more power than Doctor Strange - he is not omnipotent.

Xbimpy fell out of a timewarp from 2002.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Either way, the fact that Strange and his enemies have a different kinds of power is very important - strength, in this case, isn't necessarily interchangeable. Regardless of whether they're more or less powerful than the Avengers and their enemies, they fight in a different venue using methods of attack or defense and measures of power that are not the same as other characters in the same universe. Magic must defeat magic, and all that.
At the same time, what allows Strange to fight Dormammu likely wouldn't be as effective against, say, Ultron or even Thanos. The same things that allow him to defeat Dormammu might not even be effective against any of his other enemies like Shuma or Mordo. If done well, the key to his magic would be versatility, not raw power.

It maybe not have lasted an age but the threat Ultron was presenting wasn't just him killing people or building robots. He was an existential threat, determined to wipe out humanity and see it replaced by a new mechanical form of life.
Even Loki in Avengers wanted to keep us around so we could kiss his boots or whatever.
Argue about the execution but the title works.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers- The Hulk: Rage of Ultron
