8 Reasons Dr. Strange Is The Most Revolutionary Marvel Movie Ever

8. Doctor Strange Expanded The Scope Of The MCEU Immeasurably

Doctor Strange mind-bending narrative has deepened the MCU in ways few fans saw coming. Marvel had already taken trips to the stars with Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor, but, as Doctor Strange proved, there were still many corners of Marvel's universe left unexplored.

Prior to Doctor Strange's debut, Marvel movies had largely stuck to standard superhero genre tropes. The Avengers faced foes culled from traditional science fiction fare like invading aliens armies and rogue robots. After the events of Doctor Strange, Marvel superheroes are living in a world where anything is possible, and earth's mightiest heroes will now have to contend with metaphysical villains as well as conventional ones.

Strange's influence on Marvel's universe could be profound. The good doctor has reinvigorated Marvel's formula by freeing the studio to explore alternate realities, parallel dimensions, and time travel storylines. It's likely that in the near future audiences will witness the Avengers journeying through different times and dimensions.

There are limitless possibilities and, fourteen films in, the MCU is more exciting than ever before. Fans might well look back on Strange as the most important film in the history of the Marvel canon and a major milestone for superhero blockbusters.
