Yeah I really don't get the logic of the reason why Stephen is the way he is apparently has nothing to do with his arc.

Plus, it led to a big wtf moment when he referenced his sister in the sequel (at least for people unfamiliar with the comics).

@Origame - Wasn't really a wtf moment, just an unexpected revelation about his past. It didn't conflict with anything we've seen in any of Strange's previous MCU appearances.

@AC1 - just because it didn't conflict with anything doesn't mean it wasn't a wtf moment.

For example, you can explain that during the battle of new York dr strange was abducted by the chitauri. Technically that doesn't contradict anything assuming he was brought back before the events of his movie, but if we learned that now after all his appearances with zero references to it before, that would be a wtf moment. Same here.

Him suddenly having a sister who died and said death was such a defining moment for the character it's used to identify him to another strange is on that same level.

@AC1 - But it was a reveal that had never even been remotely hinted at. It was also kinda meaningless, because in a multiverse there could be a number of versions of him that DIDN'T have a sister at all, so him using that as a way to confirm he's really him offers not much of anything to one of them.

@Origame - They're pretty different examples though. The sister thing is a pretty realistic thing to find out about.

Not comparing the quality of these movies by any means, but if anything it's more like how Godfather II used flashbacks to explore Vito's backstory, which wasn't really alluded to in the first movie. We're just learning something about the character later on.

Plus the way the scene plays out in MoM makes it seem pretty clear that this is something Strange doesn't talk about, presumably because it's such a painful memory for him to relive. We don't need to see a character's entire backstory play out in front of us for something to make sense when revealed later on.

@dagenspear - As I said in my reply to @Origame, I don't think you need to hint at stuff like that beforehand.

Having said that I do agree with what you say about it not really making sense within the context that the reveal took place due to the nature of the multiverse meaning the other version of Strange may not have had that in common with our version.

@AC1 - ...I really don't know why you think important character moments shouldn't be hinted at when made important in the 6th appearance of a character.

@AC1 - also, godfather part 2 is a poor example as we actually explore his past there. It wasn't revealed to us because part 2 was where it was relevant.

However we still don't see it, and as far as the narrative of MoM is concerned we don't even need to know that information specifically. He could've revealed any number of things to his evil variant. In fact it would've been more relevant to the story being told had he talked about the watch instead of his sister.

@AC1 - I think fine enough with your top comment. Though I think it's a random detail to just introduce.

Dr Strange's sister was Gretta Thunberg?

I hope there's another universe where Stephen Strange didn't exist, but Donna Strange as the Dr. Strange.
