  - Witney: “But wasn't Doctor Strange supposed to be suffering right now? Wasn't the opening of his third eye meant to denote that he had gone too far this time?

After multiple films of Doctor Strange making bad decisions and allowing himself to commit increasingly extreme acts in times of desperation, Doctor Strange was suppose to finally be facing the music. One can only possess corpses and split reality open so many times before one must pay the piper.”
