Doctor Strange offers refreshing change to Marvel Studios

Maggie Hines, Features Editor

Marvel Studios seems to have fallen into a rut as of late, pairing dimly lit fight scenes with the occasional quip by a sarcastic hero, this boring formula has been used so often that even the most die-hard fans are growing sick of it. This phenomenon makes Marvel’s latest creation, Doctor Strange, a refreshing step away from the norm. Doctor Strange follows the story of Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon, and his desperate search for a cure for his nerve damage. On this journey, Strange finds himself in the fantastical world of sorcerers who can control time and space, leaping back and forth between the dimensions. While the plot is definitely the least plausible of any Marvel movie, the wonder it inspires in audiences sets it apart from the rest.   Doctor Strange is one movie that leaves audiences in complete awe when leaving the theater. It is a must-watch for movie fan of sci-fi and fantasy. With fantastic special effects, appropriate lighting, and just the right amount of comedic relief to keep things interesting, Doctor Strange is hopefully the first of many Marvel movies to break tradition, leaving fans in anticipation for what the studio will churn out next.
