ufarn posted:Can someone tell me what Doctor Strange's end credit(s) reveal(s) without spoiling the movie itself? I won't be able to see it for a while. Mid credits. Not spoilery. Set up for another movie: Thor visits Strange for some magically refilling beer. Strange is concerned about Loki and Thor tells him they're in the city (edit: NYC, that is.) to find Odin, who's gone missing. post-credits. Very Spoilery: Earlier in the film, Strange had met a man who'd had a spinal paralysis injury healed and thus finds the way to the place he trains with The Ancient One. By the end of the movie Chiwetel Ejiofor's character has turned away from Doctor Strange's group. In the scene, he finds this man and steals his magic, returning the injury. e: Here's a site for end credit scene reports: http://aftercredits.com/ Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Oct 29, 2016 |

In the movie he is not. It's implying that he is going to return to his villain roots and become a magic racist / come after Strange.

I'm kind of confused about the mid credits bit after Strange (saw it, loved it). I might be forgetting something, but didn't Loki fake his death /secretly usurp the throne by the end of Thor 2? Did I miss something or are we as an audience unaware of things that have happened since to change that?

I'm guessing the first act of Thor 3 has happened at that point.

The Doctor Strange Baron Mordo after-credits scene is hilarious, because throughout the film he's portrayed as arguably the most reasonable and level-headed person around whose complaints and objections are all based in fairly sound thinking, and then he just inexplicably becomes a ravenous, insanely evil lunatic, lashing out at anyone and everything.

He's a rigid-minded fanatic that's just found out that the master he spent decades following was by his standards a hypocrite. I thought it was pretty believable that his reaction was to go off the rails and decide "You know what? gently caress wizards."

Not really, Voldemort's motivations are a belief in the superiority of magic and a fear of death, and he never really believed in a mentor figure long enough to be disappointed by them.

Hey remember how I complained, way back when Eijifor was cast, that for all the raceswapping that happened in this film, the actual result seemed to be that they turned the hero's Asian mentor into his white mentor and his white villain into a black villain and that's super lovely? Remember how everyone here was like, no you don't understand, just have faith! Just wait and see! We don't know if Mordo is actually going to be a villain despite the fact that being a Dr. Strange villain is literally the only thing the character has ever done! I mean, I do love being right all the time, but at what cost indeed.

I thought it was pretty believable that his reaction was to go off the rails and decide "You know what? gently caress wizards." That's not how he's portrayed, though. He's very clearly upset by the hypocrisy of the Ancient One, but he's generally quite level-headed about it up until the post-credits scene. Even his finale in the film proper is him just sadly noting that someone who he respects and genuinely seems to like has gone down what he sees as the same, misguided path. He's sad when he walks away from Strange and Wong, because he feels betrayed again, but there's no indication at all that he's A) mentally snapped, or B) see's the problem as an issue with all magic users. The credits are just a 'scene missing' reel' before he comes back and is a completely different character. There's an entire, far more interesting, arc that they just skip over for sequel-bait. The ridiculous thing is that his 'rigid-mindedness' is portrayed as something completely stable up until that point, Strange and the Ancient One are the crazy ones, as depicted in the film. There's no need to have him just switch to full-blown crazy without any intervening time with him to see why that comes about. If the movie had spent more time with either A) his dark past or B) what happened in between him leaving Strange and Wong and the after-credits moment there's a good chance it might have made more sense, or felt more earned, but it doesn't do either.
