Doctor Strange: 25 WTF Moments
13. The Worst Sidekicks
By now, saying that Marvel struggle with villains is a little redundant: it's sort of the caveat that comes with their movies' greatness. But Kaecilius' mostly unnamed zealot sidekicks (one of them is called Lucian, but the others appear only to be named after their hair colour) are some of the worst mooks in any comic book movie ever.
They're walking cannon fodder whose supposed magical prowess never actually manifests in any way that suggests they would be chosen by their boss as trustworthy sidekicks. They bumble around being beaten by Doctor Strange without much of a fight (aside from Lucian admittedly), with a particular low-point coming when one of them is "stranded" in the desert by Strange.
This, despite the fact that she is entirely able to teleport thanks to the magical ring she's wearing and would have absolutely zero problem getting back to the Sanctum. It's not like the film bothers to spend literally ONE SECOND showing her ring falling off to explain it.
