Marvel, probably the best cinematic universe to grace our screens this century with the growing CGI tech seamlessly incorporating animation and real world into one. A blended magical experience bringing all our favourite super hero's, stories and fantasy to life on the big screen.
The 2000s have seen many try with great success and also great failures, budget seems to play a big roll in which tech a movie uses. As the tech advances so to do our on screen adaption. This also leaves cheaper tech available to smaller production companies that can now produce decent cringe worthy CGI moments, but they're still good.
There are alot of good films to date and many more planned in the pipeworks but I would like to provide my input on what I think the best film to date has been and which onscreen adaption has been on point.
Growing up I was never a Dr Strange fan I was more focused on Hulk, Spider Man, Thor but I have to admit my favourite was Iron Man. I was over the moon when Iron Man hit our big screens, a great decision for Marvel to being this character out first. But I'll be first to admit their early films were shocking, they didn't seem to grasp the character in its full potential. Fortunately character development and the natural order of the films delivered us an Iron Man character that really came to light by the end of his journey.
I still don't watch the early films of Iron Man, he's been a better supportive character in The Avengers and not as a stand alone character. They were decent films but it's as if each film gave us a different Iron Man then what we were seeing in The Avengers.
Then the introduction of Dr Strange arrived and I was familiar with the sorcerer but wasn't the biggest fan. Until I watched the stand alone origins film! I think it's important to note that Dr Strange had a number of similarities between Tony Stark as he was an arrogant, confident and cocky surgeon. Top of his field with no one to match him. Similar to Stark Dr Strange suffers a debilitating injury that costs him his life or his way of life. Like Stark Dr Strange heads out on a quest to secure his life and retain what he has.
But also on that path he encounters a situation that alters his character and ignites growth. Thrown into a world he had no idea existed and what started off as away just to heal his hands so he can go back to being an awesome surgeon his faced with becoming a guardian of Earth.
It's as if Marvel got to retell the story of Iron Man with a twist and through their plot line errors were able to regain the story telling through Dr Strange. Ultimately perfecting the movie with great newly advanced tech and CGI which they had continuously built on through the development of The Avengers and Marvel Cinematic universe.
There's been a significant amount of flops and successes in the Marvel franchise over the past few years and I feel as if some of the stand alone movies were created just to fund raise, which is fine I would still support them, but they left me wanting more. Dr Strange is not one of those movies.
I was excited to see his role as a main character in Infinity war and his continued character growth has gone from strength to strength indicating that the producers and screen writers have learned alot in their time expanding the Marvel universe and I'm excited and await in anticipation as we get to explore more of Dr Strange's expanded universe the the foes he comes up against.
I do feel they weakened him in Endgame is Dr Strange is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, Thanos technically should have been no match to him considering he defeated Dormammu in his stand alone film. Dormammu is a far superior villain than Thanos even with all the infinity stones. But alas, a plot line is needed and the Sorcerer needed to take a step back to ensure the others could shine.
Also, they needed to make him vanish in infinity war otherwise there wouldn't be much of a story line.
Dr Strange could have ended Thanos in Infinity War but chose not to, he stood back and allowed things to roll out. He also decided to hold water back instead of dominating the battlefield in one swoop.
Fan theories have explored many reasons why the producers chose not to utilise Dr Strange in his true form. But let's be honest it's a movie and about making $$$
This can be easily assessed by the fact that the most powerful being fsr superior than the infinity stones and many other Marvel universe weapons was sitting at home in the next town.
Jean Grey, The Phoenix. Yet we saw no debate of X-Men. Again, a highly skilled team that would have ended Thanos in a moment. I don't think The Phoenix was even able to have been turned to dust with the click of Thano's fingers.
Yes, not everyone was able to be impacted by Thanos and the infinity stones. Many more powerful beings would not have been at all impacted by these stones.
I tend to avoid Marvel movies because I feel as though they are all cookie-cutter productions that basically all have the same storyline, but I do like Benedict Cumberbatch so perhaps I'll give this one a go .
You won't be disappointed, it's a fantastic comic book adoption and a perfected story line in my opinion.
I did really enjoy the dr strange movie! It was one of my favorites for sure.
Oh yes! I would put it as their best at current. Story line was seamless and beautiful.
I also felt Dr. Strange role was not given much importance. He could have changed the game but yea it's Marvel's story. I hope we get to see another strange movie.
It's currently in development and I can not wait!
wow, that's nice to know. Yeah, me too
