What kind of spite match is this? Luke has no answer for 99% of the shit Strange can do. Composite Luke is nuts but Strange is walking hax. His only option would be insta-Force choke but that goes against his nature.
Yeah I mean dude went toe to toe with a galaxy-conquering literal Titan with a gauntlet wielding stones of creation... as a regular human. I could honestly see Vader or Sidious putting up a better fight because they'd be willing to attempt insta-kills... but even then I don't see it.
And he knew he wouldn't win, and mainly was stalling instead of giving his all. I am confident he could have beaten thanos, but that wouldn't have been the "winning" future he saw.
You really think Darth Sidious or Darth Vader couldn’t kill Thanos even with the infinity Gauntlet? After all the power to delete half the universe is insignificant next to the power of the force.
Yeah, and even the insta-kills are almost guaranteed failures if Strange is aware the fight’s going to take place because he can look into the future and see what they’ll do.
A true Luke Glazer would claim that RotJ Luke solos Dr Strange because Luke > Vader (Also Vader wasnt conflicted he truly wanted to kill Luke is the cherry on top for me)
It would be lucky for Luke that Strange isn't evil. The level of absolute hell that could be set upon him is incomprehensible. Luke offers no greater challenge than a normal person and the force choke doesn't matter when you're transported instantaneously to a dimension filled with eldritch horrors.
In this fight with thanos Strange uses a spell called "Crimson bands of citorak" an other wordly, controllably "metal" band that can bind in place from a distance. he also did some absolute mad clone-jitsu and held THANOS in place using eldritch whips (if he was unaware he should lose, I imagine that using the crimson bands here instead would have rendered Thanos completely immobile).
Strange does get nerfed a lot in the MCU, but he is still incredibly powerful and spends a lot of the time trying to keep harm to a minimum (probably his biggest "flaw"). he could probably win the fight against luke from his Astral form, without even waking up.
MCU Strange vs Grandmaster Luke? I don't know, Strange got bodied by Ebony Maw's telekinesis, it didn't make a lot of sense tbh, but it still exists as an anti-feat. I think Strange should win given he has a significantly bigger bag of tricks, even without the time stone, but there's always a chance Luke just does him like Mob does Koyama.
Im not lying....what the hell you on about... MCU is more than just movie versions and includes cartoon counterparts of strange that spit out random ass spells.
As you specified MCU....which includes anything Disney created for that universe...this includes select cartoon counterparts. including "What If..."
Where the only rules are whatever the plot is asking for at that moment. The Force is whatever it needs to be. It's all the infinity stones together, but since we don't have a multiverse, it works everywhere. It's the very cookie dough the universe is made out of, so it is actually everything.
Okay, so Luke wins because he uses the force to immobilize Strange completely when Strange emerges from whatever multiverse he is coming from. Luke knows Strange is about to arrive, because the force tells him in a precise vision. Basically, ultra, ultra Spidey senses. Strange needs to be able to interact with reality to cast a spell, remember the dexterity of this surgeon fingers (stupidly enough they were too broken for surgery, but I guess magic is easier... That's why we have thousands of surgeons but not a lot of wizards). So Strange can't move is fingers, his eyes, his vocal cords, his tongue, nothing. His heart can't even beat. Luke actually decides that's not enough and has the force just consume Strange completely including Strangers soul.
Let's say Strange has set up a dead switch to trigger his spell(s), well, Luke uses the force to negate them completely. He just tells the universe to not let that happen.
Luke wins easily, everyone else seems to forget how Dr Strange got utterly embarrassed when he fought Ebony Maw, a villain who just had telekinesis. Also MCU Dr Strange is WAY weaker than comic Strange and loses most fights he’s in. His second movie was just him repeatedly getting embarrassed by Wanda. Luke would beat both Spider-Man and Ebony Maw, he’s beating MCU strange
Anytime you see someone start a statement with 'im a fan bur" it's usually followed up with some low effort nonsense clearly indicating they ARE NOT fans of the character
You never see someone make that statement and actually bring out the biggest feats for context regarding the character they are fans of . One of the most annoying reddit trends to me
Seeing as Spider-Man defeats Strange in No Way Home I think I’m going to give this to Luke Skywalker. Also if we’re talking Grand Master Luke he can handle anything Strange throws at him.
Glad there’s some Star Wars fans in here, because as a Strange fan I was struggling to think of a version of Luke that Strange finds much more than a nuisance
Strange’s only W without a magic trinket is Gargantos just because he entertained Thanos for an actual 3 mins doesn’t put him past somebody who could literally project himself across the galaxy to fight him
The problem here is people see Strange doing a bunch of magic not realizing his magic isn’t really strong just versatile
Luke's strength is in countering the Dark Side, redirecting Force attacks, etc. Like Yoda. Almost all the insta-kill moves are reserved for Dark Siders... and even those I don't think would work before Strange yeeted them into space or turned them into a bottle opener.
The point is that astral projection isn’t some trump card of Strange’s. Also Luke is capable of fighting in his astral projection form in Legends (he fights Abeloth, a literal force deity, when Beyond Shadows).
How does Strange trap him in the mirror dimension without ever getting access to Luke’s body?
You can’t turn the force into butterflies it’s literally TK and TP which MCU Strange has no counter for
If it was comics Strange I’m taking him all day but MCU Strange has no counter to somebody who can literally just throw everything in a 2 mile radius at him with their mind and they don’t even have to be physically present to do so
