Doctor Strange News & Speculation thread - Part 4

So it does give him superhuman strength technically.

 

[Vartha]

It focuses his powers yes. Like Mjolnir is a tool for Thor that focuses his own powers, the Eye of Agamotto is the relic that focuses Strange's magic.

Edit:

Spoiler

Remember, Mordo says during the Training scene certain relics can focus magic that would be harmful to your own body. It's even the same with most Witches and Wizards throughout most fantasy novels and movies. A big example is Gandalf's staff and crystal

 

[Dr. Evil]

Good to see Ejiofor coming back. He already has more screentime in this one film than Idris Elba in the two Thor movies put together.

 

[Vartha]

Excited I'm finally seeing this tonight.

You're going to love it! I still need to see it in 3D. THAT won't be until next week tho

The issue with Idris Elba's screentime is his characters role literally makes it so he cant have that much screentime.
He can rarely leave his post as he needs to guard the entrance to Asgard.

Can anyone translate the Sanskrit around this shield?

What crystal? If you mean the Palantir of Isengard, Gandalf was afraid to use it and Aragorn wrenched control of it from Sauron. His staff was clearly used as a powerful weapon along the lines you mention.

I wonder when we'll start hearing news for Doctor Strange 2

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Anyone watched the Film Theorist episode talking about this movie?

Yeah. It was great. Sick of the constant mention of Inception but everything else he said was very positive.

There's a rhyme in this part, I you for it.
I finally decided to watch the movie, and I will keep this video in mind for comparing notes.

 

[The_Manhunter]

Me too. I really thought people were smart enough to not vote for Trump. Where is the freaking Eye of Agamoto when you need it.

Actually you need the Inferno device.

The Trump people got their hands on the Aether!

LOL

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

There was a white Crystal he slipped into his staff in Fellowship. But yes the Palantir is a tool too. Each tool/relic can focus power of each spell.
Say Thanos does take the Time stone out of the Eye of Agamotto, he doesn't take Strange's powers because he clearly displays using an energy whip without the Eye of Agamotto.

The Eye focuses certain magic even in the comics, it's not the SOURCE of his magic

super cute!

Does anyone feel like they wasted Benjamin Bratt? I feel like he is a big enough star to deserve more than two scenes. Really want to see more Pangborn in future movies.

I wouldn't call him a "big star" However he was great, I'd love to see him show up again in the sequel.

15 years ago, yeah, I'd agree with you

Oh....that....I thought you meant a REAL crystal; one that actually existed and not one that PJ made up.

My impression is that Mordo is stealing mystic power which parallels what happened in Strange Tales; Strange took Victoria Bentley's mystic talent in his effort to defeat Shuma Gorath. In that story, after Shuma's defeat, Strange "returned" her power. It would be a nice book end if Mordo, after traveling his dark road, found some redemption, and returned the power to Pangborn. Even if it is Strange that returns the power, I kind of think we are going to see him again.

It would make sense for Pangborn to seek out Strange to find a way to reverse it also to clue Strange into what Mordo is up to.

Yeah, I would more than likely see Pangborn returning to Kamar-Taj THEN finding Strange
