Doctor Strange was one of the trippiest, but also one of the most fun Marvel movies of the phase three reboot. It revolved around a neurosurgeon's journey into a mystical world, and it has us hooked and dare we say, shook. Strange is going to show up again in Thor: Ragnorak for a small but crucial role (as we saw during on the credit scenes. By the way, the fact that Marvel has us sitting through the credits for tiny two-minute scenes just proves that we are all so whipped). He'll come around again in Infinity War, but too many of us are impatient. We want more awesome Strangeness now. So, to that end, we have found 15 memes, parodies, and speculations of Doctor Strange that are sure to make your day that much stranger.

Okay, if this doesn't happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then we've lost all hope for humanity and Thanos should win. It's Marvel, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Robert Downey Jr., so if there's any way to have Tony Stark meet Stephen Strange in Infinity War, it's going to be great and hilarious. But there must be some awesome facial hair, bro action going on, because this is just too good.

Even better: have someone like Bruce Banner, Peter Parker, and James Rhodes in the background thinking Oh, that poor man. Tony got him, too. Well, maybe not Peter. He's too young to have awesome facial hair. And he wears a mask, anyway, so it's a moot point. But whatever. They had this scene in the comics, so they must have it in the movies.

Tony Stark just has no respect for magic; it goes against his version of science. Versus Stephen Strange, who sees magic as an extension of science. So it's kind of weird to think of them as BFFs. Especially when you consider the fact that they're both arrogant, self-centered, and believe that they are the smartest people in the room 99-100% of the time. Generally speaking, if they're breaking the laws of physics and creating a life-changing inventions to save the world, they're actually blowing up the world.

So, as for taking down bad guys, Tony and Stephen would probably work very well together. But in terms of scientific/medical expertise, Tony would probably think Stephen's been having one too many. Which, considering the fact that the Dr. Strange comics and movie look like a massive 'shroom hallucination, is probably not too far from the truth.

13 Strange + Logan = Ultimate Pairing!

via 9gag

We all agree that Logan was an absolute heartbreaker. He was really cool and awesome (and violent, especially for an X-Men movie), but a total heartbreaker. We need a re-do. It doesn't matter that Logan is dead and "officially" staying dead. It's not like comic book characters never get resurrected. In fact, the only comic book character who died and stayed dead has been Benjamin Parker. (It used to be Bucky Barnes, too, but then Marvel decided to say "Screw it!" and brought him back as a brainwashed assassin, which is isn't even that big of a stretch in the superhero world.) Plus, now Stephen Strange has the eye of whatchya-ma-call-it that can turn back time. So all that has to happen is Strange to  find Wolverine's body, revive him with magic (yay, magic!), and then we get Hugh Jackman back into business!

12 Why Strange Should Join The Avengers

It was weird making it to the end of Doctor Strange and realizing he hadn't caused millions of dollars' worth of damages. In fact, he saved the Chinese government from having to spend all the money by undoing the damage done by the bad guys! Now, we're not dissing the Avengers for saving the world. Obviously, someone has to do it and it's going to be messy. They certainly had no control over whether Loki would bring his army to New York or over the Atlantic, or whether Ultron would use a city as a meteor or an uninhabited mountain. But you have to admit, seeing Strange save the day without causing a budgeting headache makes you wonder whether or not the Avengers should be trying to pull that off as well. (And maybe not cause a Civil War while they figure it out.)

11 DC vs. Marvel

Hmmm...that's a tough one. Who would win in a fight to the death: Superman or Dr. Strange? Technically Superman's only weakness is kryptonite, but it's our yellow sun that gives him his powers. So all Strange would have to do is teleport him to another dimension to even the odds. On the other hand, Strange himself is just a human. He might have insane powers and use a ton of artifacts, but he's still only a squishy mortal. All it would take is one good punch and it's lights out. On the other-other hand, if Strange had some prep time he could prevent that from happening by creating some sort of spell or armor to protect him (a la Bruce Wayne in Batman vs. Superman). On the other-other-other hand...wait, how many hands do we have here?

10 'Doctor Strange': Actually A Rom-Com

via Pinterest

Twilight's a pretty low bar to set for...well, any kind of story. But especially a love story. Were there any glittering vampires? No? Then it's better than Twilight. Was there an overused, cliched, super-tropey love triangle? No? Better than Twilight. If there was a love triangle, did it end when the werewolf deciding that instead of pursuing the woman, he was going to try to seduce her unborn child? No? Definitely better (and a helluva lot less creepy) than Twilight.

Also, unlike Bella, the Cloak of Levitation is actually useful. No shade to Bella or anything, but c'mon, we all saw the movie. The Cloak of Levitation not only helps Strange fly, but it also helps him (temporarily) take down the bad guy by getting Strange the correct weapon to use. And it's red. Red is awesome.

9 Every Story Has A Lesson...

Are you kidding? The whole reason Strange got his super-cool magic powers is because he got into that horrific car accident and lost the finer use of his hands. If anything, the moral of the story is, "No matter how badly you screw up you'll come out of it better than ever." Now, if the producers really wanted to send the don't-text-and-drive message, they should've just ended the movie after he went broke going through all those surgeries and shattered his friendship with Christine. That would've been a really depressing superhero movie, though, and Marvel already filled its quota for heartbreak in 2017 with Logan. And that was right after Civil War, so definitely no more downers should come from Marvel for at least another year or two. Or never. Never is good.

The Cloak of Levitation is hundreds of years old and is basically a toddler. It's more of an immature character than Stephen was at the beginning of the movie, and that's saying something. It pouts and gloats and pets, and it would totally smack Stephen in the face every now and then for no good reason, just because it can. Think about it: if you were a cloak, you'd do the exact same thing. Especially if your human was as irritating as Dr. Strange. Or worse, Tony Stark. Yeah, you know what, that's what needs to happen. When Dr. Strange and Iron Man meet, Tony's going to say something ridiculous that's both incredibly stupid and very clever, and the Cloak's going be like you jerk! and smack him in the face. And every other character is going to be extremely jealous because they all wish they could do the same thing.

While the Cloak of Levitation is busy smacking Tony for saying something clever/stupid, and probably before the "Awesome Facial Hair Bros" scene, this scene also needs to happen. While they're trying to solve a mystery. Like, they have to figure out the bad guy's next move, or how to dismantle the Doomsday Device, or someone got murdered, and for whatever reason the superheroes are called. And they're both extremely smart and even more competitive, so they're both going to rush to try to solve it before the other one. (Personally we think Cumberbatch would get it first, just because he's the better Sherlock, but Downey's got a chance.)

You know what? At this point, we're just going to write the entire script for any movie involving both Stark and Strange, and Marvel's just going to have to deal with it.

6 We Need To Change The Dictionary...

via 9gag

Okay, Strange, you may have done the same thing over and over again for however long and managed to get a very different result in the end, but THAT IS STILL INSANITY. Seriously, what sane person willingly flies up to meet the god of death/chaos face-to-face? And even if that person is sane, being killed over and over and over and over and over again would probably be enough to put them over the edge. Especially if it happened over a long time period. The script never says how long Strange and Dormammu were in that time loop for. It's clear that they both remember each "Dormammu, I've come to bargain" and death, because they both get increasingly frustrated and impatient. Which, considering the fact that Dormammu is an immortal being, means it must've been going on for a very long time.

5 It's Doctor

There's so much emphasis on Dr. Strange's magical abilities that we often forget the fact that he's a brilliant doctor with years of medical training. With all the explosions, flying around, spells, and whatnot, it's easy to forget such little things such as diplomas and Ph.D.s (Tony and Bruce each have, what, four?). But you'd think that medical training would come in handy at some point during all the superhero fighting. Strange might not be able to practice surgery the way he used to, but he can use some magic to seal up blood vessels or tell someone else what to do: "Put pressure there. No, there! Sheesh, you're the world's worst nurse..." But he doesn't really use those skills in the comics. Maybe the next Thor movie will have him try to stitch up an irate demigod.

Okay, hands down, this cat is much scarier than Benedict Cumberbatch could ever be, and that's including the time he was a massive dragon burning a city to the ground. Just look at those evil, glowing eyes. Even Dormammu would be a little intimidated, and more than happy to get this cat off his back. Also, it's a cat, so it's also cute, so nobody's going to kill it. Well, no one with a soul, that is. (And this is being written by a total dog person. Also, fun fact: Benedict Cumberbatch is also a total dog person, and in a deleted scene from Dr. Strange, Stephen helps a dog with a broken/sprained leg. This was right before he gets jumped by three men who wanted to steal his watch.) Anyway, this cat could totally be Dr. Strange's sidekick, though, and the entire universe would bend to their will.

3 He's Got You There, Kaecilius

Now there's a thought: Marvel/Hobbit crossover. How would Stephen Strange take down Smaug? How would Stephen Strange react around Gandalf? Like, if Strange and Smaug teamed up, or if it was a world where Strange turned into Smaug because he could turn into a dragon or whatever, and he had to fight Gandalf, who would win? The Sorcerer Supreme or the millennia-old wizard of Middle Earth? Our money's on Strange. Yeah, Gandalf's cool and all. He took down the Balrog and kept most of the Fellowship alive through their quest. But Strange can fly. And set things on fire (according to the comics, and especially if he's Smaug in this alternate universe). And if he could turn back time. Gandalf's a patient man, but even he would get sick and tired of a relentless cycle of "Gandalf, I've come to bargain!"

2 Too True

Ah, college. So romanticized and exciting. You go in with tales of wild parties and hot young women and new legal independence (18 years old, no parents, whoo-hoo!) And then you actually get there and realize Oh, right. School. But it's no biggy. Only four classes scattered throughout the week, compared to the six-class block you had to plow through every day in high school. All totaled, that's only 12 hours out of your week! Whatever. And then the reading assignments come in. And the tests start. And the papers are assigned. That's when the feeling of oh, sh*t starts to settle in, and that's before you realize you need money to, you know, live, and also to pay tuition and textbooks. The good news is after you're done, the transformation is similar to that of going from broke—both in money and hands—to Sorcerer Supreme.

1 Stephen Strange, The Theologian

via Tumblr

It is really cool how many religions and mythologies found their way into the Marvel universe. They've even got a whole series about Greek mythology that centers on a modern Hercules. And then there's Strange fighting off the Christian devil and Hindu/Buddhist rakshasas; those guys are even bigger jerks. They're cannibals who can fly, vanish, and create Loki-level illusions to appear as anyone or anything. While the Avengers are caught up in Norse mythology. So it makes sense for someone to remain a Catholic in that world. Atheism would be a little tough, but that might just mean not worshiping any of these deities despite fighting alongside/against them.

Marvel was probably right to avoid Scientology. It is based on a science fiction novel, after all. We wouldn't want a copyright infringement.
