SPECIAL SPOILER TALK: Doctor Strange

I don't really know too much of the Doctor Strange lore...so this will be less of a discussion of the story, but more of just some fun thoughts about the movie...

Still, SPOILERS below...

Mid-Credits Scene


          If you ask me about the scene itself, I'd say it looks a bit cheesy. For a second it almost looked like a spoof or a parody, in the way that both Strange & Thor are just sitting down casually and especially Thor with more of a casual outfit. Not to mention that glass of beer that just came out of nowhere and refilled itself. The way the scene is executed feels less professional...and without any context, it almost felt like a spoof. Especially as we recently had that Team Thor spoof from the blu-ray of Captain America: Civil War...

            But anyway, maybe in the context of the movie, it will make more sense. Instead, my main takeaway from this scene is the likelihood that Strange will make an appearance in Thor: Ragnarok....to help Thor & Loki find Odin. Imagine that...Strange & Loki...Benedict Cumberbatch & Tom Hiddleston...two of Internet's biggest boyfriends showing up in character in the same film...licking your lips already, fangirls?

Doctor Strange or Sherlock?

              Another thing I can't help sharing is the similarities I find between Doctor Strange & Sherlock (from the BBC Series). Well, first and foremost, they are clearly played by the one and only Benedict Cumberbatch...but more than that, both characters have similar personalities - in that they are both sort of arrogant, egoistic & a genius, too.
              And that mid-credits scene I mentioned above...kind of reminds me of how Sherlock sits in his apartment in Baker Street as his client sits down opposite him sharing their problems and asking for his help. I suppose the only thing missing is a Wong to be his John Watson?
             Speaking of which...Sherlock's Apartment v Doctor Strange's Sanctum: 221B Baker Street v 177A Bleeker Street. Feel the resemblance?

             And finally, as a fun note, Benedict Cumberbatch has now come against both Mikkelsen brothers. Lars Mikkelsen (Charles Augustus Magnussen) in Sherlock and now Mads Mikkelsen (Kaecilius) in Doctor Strange. Maybe its now time for the brothers to team up?
