I had heard he’d be introduced to the main MCU storyline and the upcoming Infinity War, but I don’t think I’d heard about his being in Thor. That was good news for me. Doctor Strange is one of Marvel’s big guns, and can duke it out with cosmic level baddies. He’s a natural match up for Loki, both as an adversary and reluctant partner.
Reiterate all you like, but McAdams specifically yells at him for having been gone six months.
Did she actually give a specific length of time?
McAdams is apparently still single and available after all of Strange’s training. So…four, five days, max?
Just because she’s still single doesn’t mean she ain’t gettin’ down.
I’m sure there’s plenty of guys with nurse fetishes to keep her…ahem…entertained.
Not a nurse. She’s an ER trauma doctor. They probably should have ditched the Christine Palmer name.
Much like Jane Foster in “Thor” – a nurse in the original comics (who later became a doctor), and a physicist in the films.
Quoted my own post from the previous page - can anyone speak to this? If so, thanks!
True although they muddied it up further with the Clare Temple character in the Netflix series.
Christine Palmer was one of the iterations of Night Nurse. Now she is an emergency room doctor.
Clare Temple was a doctor and a pioneering black female character. Now she is a composite of the original *Night Nurse *and the original Clare Temple from Luke Cage.
Wait a sec… wait a sec… [punches at buttons on adding machine for several minutes]
Okay, that adds up.
So, just out of curiosity, for you doctors out there,
How likely is it that someone with a pierced pericardium can get it sewn up, flat line, be defibrillated, and then leap off the table and fight a couple of epic battles? I personally have never been stabbed in the heart, but the last time I got a boo-boo that required stitches, I went, got a nice lunch and took the rest of the day off.
Also, and I understand that I’m supposed to suspend my disbelief here, how come Dr. Strange, a rank novice in fighting with mystic powers, was able to survive a bout with the bad guy and two minions, while the Hong Kong sanctum, with a small army, fell to the same force?
Aside from the after-movie quibbles, I rather enjoyed it. Good special effects (would no doubt have been even better if I sprung for 3D-IMAX) and a reasonable story. I agree that, like Thor, the time span was a bit too compressed. I wish they’d thrown in a “You’ve been gone for five years!” or even a “Time moves differently here in Shangri-La”.
In the Dr. Strange comic The Oath it showed semi-sentient behavior. I haven’t read that series and I don’t follow Dr. Strange enough to know if it behaves like this now or not.
Well, you don’t get to be Sorcerer Supreme without being a natural prodigy at it. The temple was full of students, but it looked to me like Strange quickly advanced further than the other students and after portaling into the library the Ancient One decided he needed to spend more time in the mirror dimension, presumably to keep him from accidentally destroying the temple. Who knows, maybe time does move more slowly in the mirror dimension. The reason he survived a bout with the bad guy is because he’s a natural talent, further evidenced by the Cloak of Levitation choosing him, “no easy feat,” according to the Ancient One. The cloak did save his butt a couple times. He also seemed to get pretty good with the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, although I don’t think they actually called it that. I assume that’s what those reddish tendrils people were throwing around were.
I’m no doctor but, a wizard did it. I’m not sure why you are putting spoilers in a thread labeled open spoilers. We had someone in the movie who used magic to reverse maiming and paralysis. It’s not too far a leap to say he only needed enough help to get past the almost dead stage and then he was able to help himself.
Showing him devour books 4 or 5 at a time and mention of his photographic memory illustrated that he was learning at an accelerated rate. Even so he barely held his own and won almost exclusively due to his wits rather than his skills.
I freely admit I’m quibbling, but it’s like a guy who has read all the books on Judo and Krav Maga getting in the cage at a MMA event with three champions and holding his own in his first ever real match.
It’s okay. He’s a doctor.
He had better books.
Who wears black nail polish, which kind of struck me as odd.
Nah, it happens to be in fashion, specially in the US. I’ve noticed lots of black polish on interviewers who nobody would mistake for anything but “mainstream”, with all the US-news-watching I’ve been doing.
Well, I meant specifically on a trauma doctor (was she a trauma surgeon?), and colored nail polish in general.
