Mistake #3: Giving Thanos Access to the Time Stone
She even chalks it up to shock from his injury. Has he been apologizing in those emails? Has he been getting down on one virtual knee to beg her forgiveness for how he treated her? Apparently not, because when he finally does apologize in person, she’s gobsmacked. After that, she decides that enough is enough, and Stephen loses one of his closest friends.Īt Kamar-Taj, we see that he’s been emailing her relentlessly. But he takes her for granted, finally blowing up at her when she tells him that his obsession with fixing the damage in his hands isn’t healthy. She sits with him, shaves him, and even goes to his home to check up on him. She’s kind, she’s smart, and she doesn’t give up on you even when you’re being a world-class jerk.Īfter Stephen’s accident, Christine takes care of him while his hands are healing. That’s a pretty big silver lining! Mistake #2: Pushing Away ChristineĬhristine Palmer is the kind of friend everyone should have in their life. Of course, Strange’s car accident is one of the formative events in his life, and the turning point that sets him on his path to study the mystic arts and eventually become Sorcerer Supreme. He doesn’t seem to have any awareness that he played a part in his own injury. After his colleague Nicodemus attempts to repair the nerve damage in his hands, Stephen accuses Nicodemus of “ruining” him. But what compounds his mistake is that he refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. So, hey, anyone could have a boneheaded moment like that, and I felt a lot of empathy for Stephen. I was fine-looks like my beat-up Saturn had a better safety system than Strange’s fancy sports car-but as the world was spinning around me and snow was pouring in through my broken windshield, I realized that looking at the map had been a Very Bad Decision. I leaned over to look at a map that was lying on the passenger seat, and next thing I knew, my car was rolling down the embankment. This moment really affected me because I did the exact same thing many years ago. When he leans over to look, he loses control of his car and plummets off the road, severely injuring his hands. Stephen rejects case after case until he hears one that’s intriguing and asks to see a photo. In the original Doctor Strange, Stephen drives along a cliffside road on his way to a neurological society event while his assistant pitches possible new patients to him. Will this change in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, his new solo outing due out on May 6th?īefore we speculate, let’s take a whirlwind tour of of Stephen Strange’s biggest screw-ups throughout the years! Mistake #1: Taking His Eyes Off the Road But like so many people with book smarts, Strange doesn’t always make the best decisions when he’s under pressure, or when he’s dealing with other human beings. Like a photographic memory, got an MD and a PhD at the same time, mastered sorcery in a matter of months kind of super genius. One of Doctor Strange’s core straits is that he’s a super genius.
