I can't think of a good way to put this, but it fees like this movie actually takes the character flaws of its main character seriously in a way that most (all?) other Marvel movies don't. They were less afraid to make the hero genuinely unlikable at times, and it makes the ending work better as a result.

I think that plays in to the Ancient One's lesson of having to let the darkness in a little, or else it will consume you. Contrast that with Mordon, whose rigid zealotry is likely taking him down the road to villainy, and its probably better off to be kind of a dick.

Everyone in real life compromises something at some point, or they really are a dangerous fanatic. The question is, where do you draw that line?

It was also in the face of a truly imminent crisis instead of, "Whelp, I guess I should live for eons without aging because there is bad poo poo out there!" like the Ancient One did. Even if Strange was ultimately wrong, it was much more forgivable a mistake to make, and didn't even indirectly smack of hypocritical self-interest. .

I guess I'd draw the line right about there. Its definitely a significant difference to gain semi-immortality vs. imprisoning extra-dimensional entity in a time loop where said entity kills you over and over.

At least Wong made it out alive, he was a treat. I loved that single tear that ran down when Strange called him Beyonce.

On the other hand this also kind of reads like now we gotta deal with folks like Kaecilius because we tried to stop folks like Kaecilius.

Uh oh, that sounds like an infinite loop.
