Ranking Every Action Scene In Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness

The mystic arts may define doctor Strange’s identity, but we forget he is smart even without them. So we have a fight here where Strange gets to use his head with no help from his magic powers.

With his powers being neutralized by a high-tech handcuff developed by the Illuminati, Doctor Strange tries to hurl insults at the Mordo of the 838 Universe. Realizing that this Mordo may not be so different from the Mordo he knows from his universe, he tells Mordo that he probably hates his Doctor Strange too - that he manipulated his Doctor Strange so he would be executed and take his place as Sorcerer Supreme and member of The Illuminati.

There might be a grain of truth to this as Mordo gets angered and tries to kill Strange with a sword. This is all part of Strange’s plan, though, as he uses the attack to get himself free from the handcuff. He gets the chance to put the other end of the handcuff on one of Mordo’s hands and so makes the fight even with no magic used by both fighters.

It becomes an ordinary brawl between fighters, but the appeal is that every movement made by Strange is carefully planned to the letter so that eventually he gets to trap Mordo and escape. There is excitement in seeing the pieces of the puzzle slowly being executed by Strange until he gets his victory.

Even with the walls closing in on him and with no magic powers, Doctor Strange is still dangerous.
