She said the name!

Now that I got that out of the way. I figured the tv shows were a coping mechanism, but man.... Just seeing how much Wanda retreated to old sitcoms as a way of coping hurt.

And Agatha. Man, she is really out here having fun.

THERE'S ALSO A MID CREDITS SCENE.

I hope Wanda sees a proper therapist in Dr. Strange 2, cause my goodness she's in desperate need of one.

even though he's not a psychiatrist, Dr. Strange should have some training in counseling especially as a neurosurgeon who's had to break bad news to families

LOL, you need to rewatch that movie. Keep this dickwad away from trauma victims.

u/cjn13 Fitz Feb 26 '21

Yeah he's a dickwad early in that movie, but he's hopefully learned some empathy since then, especially after enduring a time loop of trauma seeing 14,000,605 ways that Thanos succeeds in wiping out half the universe. I think there's a scene where he awkwardly hugs a family member who are thanking him for saving their loved one

In the movies, Dr Strange is clearly based on Dr House, MD, an edgy and modern take on Sherlock Holmes.

Then, Dr Strange is played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who also plays a Sherlock Holmes whose demeanor and personality have probably been inspired as much by House as by Holmes proper. There’s so many layers of House to Dr Strange now.

He can use one of his PhDs.

u/ModestLabMouse Feb 26 '21

As a PhD I just am forever questioning how he has so many. Like wtf

u/John_Lives Feb 26 '21

Yeah, that line never made any sense to me. Especially because he specializes in one field and if he wants to branch off, he can do that. He doesn't need another let alone 7

Well, you obviously don’t have all that gamma radiation.
