Doctor Strange: 25 WTF Moments
7. The New York Sanctum Doesn't Fall?
What are we without rules? Heathens, that's what. No better than the animals who crawl in the dirt.
That's why we should always hold films accountable to any rules they present themselves as a rigid internal framework of logic. They've gone out of their way to build these regulations, and the least we can all do is hold them accountable to them.
That's precisely why it's so annoying that when Kaecilius' plan requires all three Sanctums to fall in order to open a portal to the Dark Dimension and New York doesn't, his plan should fail. Luckily for him, the film-makers ignored their rule and let the portal open anyway.
