The Worst Thing About Every MCU Film

10. It's Basically Iron Man Again - Doctor Strange

The films, Doctor Strange and Iron Man, have the most in common in terms of structure. Both stories follow a genius who is left physically impaired, irreparably changing their life. They repair themselves in the Middle East and find purpose by becoming a superhero.

Not only that, Stark and Strange are also the most similar in terms of personality. They are arrogant geniuses who think they know better than everyone else. Although their injuries humbled them somewhat, they are still prone to making bold decisions without telling anyone and underestimating their friends and enemies.

Okay, if the formula for Iron Man worked, it's not too hard to believe that Marvel would try it again. But because the franchise has earned a reputation for thinking out of the box, it's surprising they didn't try something a little more creative.
