This Had Better Be The Plot To Doctor Strange 2!!

So, Doc Strange has been knocked out.

Who ya gonna call?

Howard The Duck!!

Howard does well enough with Strange's astral/telepathic guidance...

But when Doc's help is cut off, and he comes up against a "real" sorcerer?

Fists work just as well!!

Friday Night Fights--Stranger Things Style!!

You know who I love?

I loves me some Benjamin J. Grimm. Especially in this week's Friday Night Fights!!

Doctor Strange is in some trouble, and he reaches out to bashful Benjy for help:

Oops.

Strange has been captured by dickweed evil sorcerer Xandu, and he can't break out without Grimm's help!

And then Ben goes on to question the premise of every issue of Marvel Two-In-One!

Oh, yeah.

I trust writers will recall this when they try to portray Ben as stupid...

Spacebooger thinks a Ben Grimm solo film might be the way to restart the movie franchise.

Friday Night Fights--Most Wanted Movie Scene Style!!

It's the Avengers/Defenders War on Friday Night Fights!!

Looooong story short--Dormammu has tricked the Defenders into gathering the pieces of the ancient artifact known as The Evil Eye, purportedly in order to restore the Black Knight's soul to his body. In reality, Dormammu is going to seize it and use the Eye to--c'mon everyone--rule the universes.

Ah, but Loki, who has been helping Dormammu, realizes that he will last in a Dormammu administration about as long as Anthony Scarramucci. So he goes to Avengers, and convinces them that the Defenders have turned evil and plan to use the Eye to wreak havoc on humanity. So, both sides fighting over each piece of the Eye, thinking the other team the bad guys.

Doctor Strange is in Indiana, where the corn is as high as an elephant's eye!

Strange gives Mantis the slip, and thinks that he's home free.

Oh, Stephen, how poorly you know T'Challa!!

POW!!!

Man oh man, there is absolutely no reason that we can't repeat this fight in a Marvel movie. Right, guys??!?! Please??

[SPOILER ALERT: Doctor strange casts a spell to put T'Challa and mantis to sleep, which is totally cheating]

Spacebooger would like to remind you that the Defenders won every single matchup in the Avengers/Defenders War. Go figure.

The Doctor Strange Movie That We SHOULD Have Gotten!!

Not that I didn't enjoy the Doctor Strange movie...but there was another direction that they could have gone:

Anthony Stark, Master Of The Mystic Arts!!

See, in this particular universe, Tony Stark and Stephen Strange met on the New York party circuit before their respective origins...

So it was Tony Stark's drunken driving that caused the car accident...

Man, I would have paid a lot of money to see Cumberbatch and Downy perform that scene!

So in this timeline, Stark's guilt is the driving force of their search for a cure...

...and Tony ignores weapons dealing and trips to Vietnam/Afghanistan/wherever, so there's no Iron Man!

And while Strange becomes increasingly passive and bitter, Tony's the one who takes them to meet the Ancient One...

Stark is the one who discovers Mordo's plotting, and volunteers to become the Ancient One's disciple...

Leaving Stephen in the role of smart-alecky manservant, while Stark become Mr. Magic Guy.

But he is still Tony Stark, and he does still love to tinker with gadgets to make him a better hero:

Wait, what?

Yeah, Tony has a computer display to help him identify enemies and pick out the best spells!!

Plus his computer automatically aligns his hands and stance for optimum spell-casting!!

No, that's not cheating.

And when it comes time to fight Dormammu, well, it's time to go full armor:

And what does the armor do?

And he kicks Dormammu's ass!!

That is, until Strange betrays Stark!! He got tired of Tony postponing a search for the cure for his hands to save the universe and stuff, and Dormammu promised to restore his hands:

But, man, don't make deals with Dormammu!

Anyhoo, Strange meets Clea, she inspires him to see that Dormammu is really kinda evil, Stark manages to exile Dormammu from the Dark Dimension for an indeterminate number of years. So...

You know, comics really need post-credits scenes, don't they? Because this comic really lacks a scene where [REDACTED] shows up and...
