Iron Man reboot
Even the first reviews (which were, obviously, positive) said that Doctor Strange feels a bit too much like Iron Man. There is the arrogant main character who, in a twist of fate, discovers the error of his ways and becomes a hero greater than anybody else. He also discovers love, and with a woman he didn’t care for before.
He has quite a few witty quips ready for any kind of situation, he manages to defeat more powerful villains rather easily, and by the end of it all he accepts that he is the only hero who can save the Earth. He even has the same look as Tony Stark.
I get it – Stephen Strange is set to become the leader of the MCU, after Robert Downey, Jr. departs. However, maybe Marvel should have gone in a different direction. Maybe Doctor Strange should have gone a different route, one that wouldn’t have turned its main character into a Tony Stark replica.
