Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness
Content Warning : The following article contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness .
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues Phase Four in an heroic way throughDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , which gives audiences a wild narrative that uphold the tarradiddle of the lover - favorite Stephen Strange and the Scarlet Witch . It also introduces likable newcomers like America Chavez and substitute - reality versions of characters like Captain Marvel .
Some of the character reference in the instant classic have shown that they ’re smarter than most in the Marvel picture , with admirable individuals like Earth-838 ’s Christine Palmer and Doctor Strange himself proving that they can make the correct decisions under pressure . The most intelligent among them often make choices that are for the greater good , but also almost always have a storied past times in the MCU that proves how brilliant they can be .
Sinister Strange
As if theCarrie - esque scenes with the Scarlet Witch were n’t creepy enough , rooter meet the spine - chilling substitute - reality version of Doctor Strange , Sinister Strange . It ’s light that he has n’t convey his own advice about the Darkhold claim " a lumbering toll , " as it has intelligibly devastate his universe and himself during his attempts at find a universe where he is happy with Christine .
If Sinister Strange was ever as sensible and levelheaded as Earth-616 ’s Doctor Strange , there ’s no sign of it in his characterisation in the Marvel movie . He has evidently become plunge by his twisted abstract thought and the Darkhold ’s part in it , move as far as vote out other versions of himself and claim he was doing those " Stephens a favor . "
America Chavez
While it ’s funny to hearAmerica ’s funny lines inDoctor Strange 2 , there are also some frustrating moments that go around around her inability to trust Doctor Strange . This is for a good reason , of course , as she has been betrayed by a variant of him in brief before their meeting , and she does eventually issue forth around and sees that his Earth-616 version is different .
If America is intelligent , fans have n’t quite get wind that side of her in the MCU so far . She spends most of her time being afraid of the Scarlet Witch and even her own abilities , which again , are understandable considering her experiences . One scene that highlight her quick mentation happens during a important mo of the movie where she says she " ca n’t beat out " the Scarlet Witch , so she gives her what she want by force her to present her horrific actions in front of Billy and Tommy . It ’s a decision that directly lead to the end of her rampage , and one that was only possible thanks to America .
Defender Strange
Despite only seeing him in action ( and awake ) during the hatchway succession , it ’s obvious thatDefender Strange is a firm variant . Wong remark that it ’s nearly unimaginable to reach the Book of Vishanti , which mean America and Defender Strange had to go through a lot to get to that stop .
Defender Strange recognise that one agency to potentially redeem the multiverse is to betray America and take her powers for himself , which he believes is the only way out . Unlike Earth-616 ’s Doctor Strange , he ’s unable to see the other less - deadly solution to the problem and ends up dying in the process . That said , it ’s still a smart plan for the greater practiced , but it just did n’t work out the style he wanted it to .
Scarlet Witch
Every passing the Scarlet Witch has endured has kick in to her transformation into one of the MCU ’s most terrifying scoundrel . Her mind is obnubilate by hurting and rage , as well as the misguided knowledge from the Darkhold , which help her believe that she can be with her kids somewhere else in the multiverse .
She ’s voguish in the gumption that she can strategically prepare plans to go after America , just like how she use a multiverse - hopping fiend in an attempt to capture her . She is also able to discover others ' faint spot and expend them to her vantage , like how she manipulates a fighter in Kamar - Taj . Of of course , these are all done on the false and negative notion that she can supervene upon a interlingual rendition of herself out there and be Billy and Tommy ’s female parent again . She ’s too narrow-minded - minded and corrupted to be able to see how terrible her actions are , but she gratefully does one last impudent thing by destroy every version of the Darkhold across the multiverse in the end .
Wong
Wong has become an increasinglysignificant character in the MCU , peculiarly since taking his place as Sorcerer Supreme following Doctor Strange ’s disappearance . DuringDoctor Strange 2 , viewers see that he has not ware those years , as Kamar - Taj is full of dedicated and skilled fighters who are ready to oppose the mysterious city no matter the price .
Since he has trained in the mystic artistry for much longer than Doctor Strange has and even serve as the bibliothec in Kamar - Taj , he ’s privy to some information that not even the most powerful sorcerers have access to . This is why the Scarlet Witch has to draw information about the transcript of the Darkhold out of him , as she knows that he ’s one of the few who would know about it . While his decisions inMultiverse of Madnessdon’t carry the same weight as Doctor Strange ’s or the Illuminati , it ’s unimaginable to abnegate that he ’s among the smart characters in the motion-picture show .
Christine Palmer
Christine ’s unexpected appearing in Earth-838shocked a stack of fans , especially after it ’s revealed that she has a much unlike Book of Job there compared to her 616 opposite number . As a Multiversal researcher for the Baxter Foundation , Christine is responsible for for " designation realities " and maybe designing the " awful polycarbonate fishbowls " that successfully hold Doctor Strange and America in their research facility .
She also repurposes the " Sands of Nisanti " to originate the handcuffs that somehow prevent Doctor Strange and America from using their magical ability . Beyond her scientific cognition , Christine can also make the ripe choices under pressure level , as she chooses to believe Earth-616 ’s Stephen despite her experiences with her universe ’s random variable of him . Viewers wo n’t before long leave her implemental role in the way Doctor Strange finally controls the Souls of the Damned to progress to Wundagore as well .
The Illuminati
Most of the best cameos inDoctor Strange 2happen when the champion meets the member of the Illuminati – Mordo Supreme , Black Bolt , Captain Marvel , Captain Carter , Reed Richards , and Professor Charles Xavier . Together , they make up one of the most powerful groups in the multiverse , and it ’s no surprisal that they do n’t have any worry defeating the Titan Thanos as the Avengers did .
They make strategic decisions like portraying Earth-838 ’s Doctor Strange as a hero for the public , while ensuring that their universe is secure from possible incursions via multiversal visitors like 616 ’s Stephen and America . Their form of Doctor Strange started the Illuminati so that there would be an important dead body making the difficult choices , which includes murdering their own Stephen . Their multiverse - changing decisions have n’t prepare them enough for the menace of the Scarlet Witch , though , but it ’s hard to blame them considering everything they have witnessed points to the fact that " the greatest peril to the Multiverse " is Doctor Strange . Plus , Charles Xavier ’s last - mo choice to entrust Stephen should count for something .
Doctor Strange
Without a doubt , the smart character inMultiverse of Madnessis Earth-616 ’s Doctor Strange . The Marvel movie made sure to emphasize that he ’s different from " other other " translation of him , who arguably would n’t have been able-bodied to make the hard choice that eventually intercept the Scarlet Witch ’s murderous bar .
Doctor Strange has show that he ’s reasoning from the here and now he recognized that America is exceptional to the detail where he perish with Clea to correct his ( or his edition ’s ) mistakes . He anticipate and counter the Scarlet Witch ’s moves long enough to keep America live , while have trusted that he protects the the great unwashed he loves like Wong and Christine in the process . Most importantly , Doctor Strange empathize that he does n’t have to go down the same path as his variants did and knows that others like America and the Scarlet Witch can make the correct decisions with a bit of corporate trust and encouragement , too .
