15 Best Comic Book Movie Moments Of 2016

9. Strange Gets His Mind Blown - Doctor Strange

Captain America Civil War Giant Man Black Panther

Stephen Strange heads to Kathmandu, Nepal to meet with The Ancient One, and quickly believes he's wasted his journey on a bunch of spiritual hokum.

However, the Ancient One soon enough proves him wrong by slingshotting his spirit into various dimensions, including one made entirely of hands (where even his own hands sprout more hands).

Strange eventually lands back on Earth and begs the Ancient One to teach him, but hilariously, she throws him out.

This first-act scene typifies the weirdness of the entire movie as well as how much more effort has been put into the surreal visuals than most of the "core" MCU movies. It's beautifully done and just the right amount of disturbing all at once.
