Strange 2: What do we need to learn from the end of the Marvel movie?

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now in theaters and depicts the new adventure of Stephen Strange, a mystical master of science who is forced to follow a teenage girl with uncontrollable powers.

Throughout the film we can see the strange we have always known (616 from Earth) confronting the “Sinister Strange”, one of his variants with a third eye on his forehead. After a duel with musical notes, the evil string ends at the peaks, as does Saruman in The Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson.

Despite everything, when Christine comes to examine her body, we notice that Sinister Strange’s third eye is still alive! Even worse, during the final scene of the feature film before the subtitles, the viewer discovers that the Strange of Earth 616 is now in the third eye. But what does this really mean?

MCU / Comics Difference

The third eye in comics, which sometimes appears on Dr. Strange’s forehead, is the manifestation of his “mystical eye”, Agamoto’s eye. The latter allows a person to see with illusions, to see the past, to teleport individuals, and to find physical or ethereal people. It is also an object that evil creatures hate because it is harmful to them.

The agamoto medallion in the MCU has hitherto been used to house the stone of infinity of time, but it is also used by Dr. Strange to evaluate all the possibilities of defeating Thanos. The latter destroys Lockett during Battle of the Titans in Avengers: Infinity War.

However, in Spider-Man: No Way Home then Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the medallion is presented, undoubtedly re-created by a master of mystical art. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

So this third eye reflects something else. So what can we imagine?

Our theories

• The first possible theory is that the third eye prominent on the forehead is a physical manifestation of the character using Darold’s evil power. And as Strange and his friends say in the film: “This is not witchcraft, this is witchcraft” (“This is not witchcraft, this is witchcraft”). Which suggests that black magic leaves traces on those who abuse it, such as the Sinister Strange.

But in this case, he wonders why the Scarlet Magician does not have a third eye if he appears on the forehead of any of the creatures who used Darkhold. Maybe Wanda’s excessive forces protect her and can explain this potential inconsistency?

• The second theory says that the third eye is an evil, evil being unrelated to Darold, who possessed the mind of an evil Strange and “changed the hosts” to parasitize the mind of Stephen Strange on Earth 616. , Which will pay the price in the future. ?

• The chief did not say to Strange in his first solo adventure: “Open your eyes” ? So the third opportunity would be for this eye to turn out to be something positive and to become the equivalent of what Agamoto’s eye has in comics: an element that allows Strange to develop new strengths. Therefore, the MCU will have to fix what power the medallion has so that the two magic artifacts are quite different.

It is still unknown where we will see Dr. Strange again, who has been quite relevant since the beginning of Phase 4 and is gradually learning to lose his arrogance and gain in humanity. Maybe then he will lead the new Avengers? The future will tell you!
