Dr Strange

During the time heist in New York, the ancient one says Dr. Strange is performing surgery. During the battle of New York. Strange decided to not flee, rather chose to be true to his profession and continue the surgery while the city he was in burner around him. He was a hero before he learnt the mystic arts🙌🙌

Maybe the fighting was not as intense around his hospital

jinglereacher2025-10-06 17:03

I don't think the emergency services would take the risk. Esp considering the whole of Manhattan had been written off for nuking. The whole city would (should?) have been evacuated

mrmyrth2025-10-06 17:17

Doubtful they were even told

DrManhattan_DDM2025-10-06 17:24

The whole reason Fury didn’t agree to the nuclear strike was because it would happen within a couple minutes and there was no possible way an evacuation could even be planned and announced that quickly, forget actually completing it.

Relocating 8.2 million people in the space of minutes would take more infinity stones than they had on hand at the time 😂

Realistic_Analyst_262025-10-06 19:38

Nah I’m pretty sure the space stone could have done it on its own

graveybrains2025-10-06 20:00

Really? Because it couldn't even get the Chitauri to Earth by itself *in this movie.*

Realistic_Analyst_262025-10-06 20:19

But it did?

graveybrains2025-10-06 20:28

Did you just skip over the first two hours of it?

DrManhattan_DDM2025-10-06 20:30

Seriously, it required having the tesseract power a complicated machine that required rare earth minerals.

graveybrains2025-10-06 20:32

And even with the extra toys they were still basically coming through single-file

LordLoss012025-10-06 23:11

Bruh, when an Alien Force invades the city, people would leave the city regardless of vicinity.

Extra_Age25052025-10-06 16:51

20 blocks away from Stark Tower might be far away enough that his hospital would be fine. And if he’s doing surgery, he may not have even known about the Chitauri invasion until afterwards

tangential_quip2025-10-06 16:54

There would have been evacuation of every part of Mew York ordered and everyone in the hospital would have known what was going on.

Edit: Leaving the typo.

jinglereacher2025-10-06 17:03

Yes this exactly

UnpredictiveList2025-10-06 19:57

Meow

HiddenStoat2025-10-06 23:42

They wouldn't have evacuated the _whole_ of Mew York.

Probably just Mancattan.

CaptHayfever2025-10-07 04:38

Yeah, Catten Island would be well out of the way.

Abides19482025-10-06 16:58

One does not simply stop cutting edge neurosurgery. It would possibly take as long to stop in a way that the patient would survive as it would to finish the procedure as planned.

Dr Strange having a patient die on his table? His ego wouldn't allow it!

jinglereacher2025-10-06 17:04

I agree🙌😂

Joshawott272025-10-06 19:48

Yeah, this is probably it. Doctor Strange is my favourite hero, but he was not a kind man before his accident.

-Mez-2025-10-06 20:51

Agreed. The acts of kindness he performed were ultimately in service of his ego. We have examples of him rejecting patients who he deemed too risky for his reputation even if there was a slim chance he could have helped them. We also know he thought the ER was below him even if he would have been amazing at saving lives rapidly given his knowledge and skill. I'm sure he had a silver lining somewhere deep down even at that time, but he wasn't a hero yet.

Part of what makes him interesting as a hero is that, like some other major heroes, he changes and grows into the role.

Sparrowsabre72025-10-06 23:30

Much the same as Bendy Cumby's Sherlock: he does it for his own amusement/love of the game more than because it helps anyone, that's just a bonus

Secret_Bet_21262025-10-06 20:52

And in the MCU, he isn't a kind man after his accident either. Lol

Definitely an ego thing. He couldn't ruin his perfect record.

AGx-072025-10-07 14:03

This. It's one thing if he stayed behind to see all the patients waiting in the lobby, though I don't know why any of them would stick around. It's another to finish the work that was already in progress. All things considered, I have to wonder how aware he even was of what was happening. The entire city wasn't destroyed, his building obviously wasn't attacked (as otherwise he'd have had no choice but to stop), and in surgery one is kind of locked in so he wasn't exactly watching the news or looking out of the window either. I'm sure people outside were aware but why would they disturb him?

jinglereacher2025-10-07 16:48

That... Isn't really how an operation theatre operates.

weaverider2025-10-06 17:11

He was paid well for a reason!

jinglereacher2025-10-06 19:27

Lmao

_TheFunkyPhantom_2025-10-06 19:14

Which is why SHIELD (hydra) had it out for him before he was a sorceror. He had the potential to be a threat.

seepa8082025-10-06 20:22

You expected him to just stop and ruin his perfect record?!

shellexyz2025-10-06 22:08

How long was the Battle of New York? Couple of hours?

He could be in surgery the entire time acting like a pretentious douchenozzle about flegelhorn jazz and never know anything else was going on.

CaptHayfever2025-10-07 04:38

Look, it's a really good song.

NumbN00ts2025-10-06 23:32

Less he was a hero and more thinking of the accolades. He’s a narcissist who got humbled. Hell, it could be said by No Way Home, he had totally relapsed back into old habits by messing with reality for Peter Parker. His actions are going to have heavy consequences come Secret War.

Hyxenflay7737_45652025-10-07 00:25

This also explains why Strange seemed so hostile towards Loki in particular when they met in Thor: Ragnarok. He probably had to treat multiple patient who had wounds from the Battle of New York because of Loki.

Fletcherperson2025-10-07 00:37

Maybe the Chitauri were observing the laws of war and not attacking the hospital?

Glittering_Crab_90542025-10-07 01:24

To be honest I didn't take it that way, although it's possible.

But when people ask about your career they will sometimes say "are you still doing x".
When that is said, you are not physically doing the act, however you are still defined by your profession hence, "doing surgery".

Glittering_Crab_90542025-10-07 01:25

Eg: "He's not a superhero yet, he's still performing surgery"

deemoorah2025-10-07 08:33

Look at the MCU stans in the comment tried to discredit his good doings so they could fulfill their fantasy of him not being a good guy

CryptographerKey28472025-10-07 10:19

Like Tony Stark our dimensions Mr.Dr.Strange is a wholly decent person and heroic under all that baggage and hubris and sarcasm. Recall He ultimately chose save America and then ecouraged her on when his other selves made the choice to abandon her.

Dell0c02025-10-07 16:35

He was a genius surgeon and a terrible person at the same time.
