The Question: Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) manages to trap the villainous Dormammu in a time loop in order to convince him to leave Earth alone. We see Strange killed numerous times as the loop continually resets, but how long exactly was Dormammu trapped in it?

The Likely Answer: There's no way Dormammu would've given up his quest to invade Earth after just a few minutes or probably even a few hours, so it's fun to consider that Strange may have dragged this out for at least a few days, by which point the baddie realised Earth was clearly more trouble than it was worth.
