OK. So we don’t entirely know how to feel about this mash-up of Marvel‘s Doctor Strange as if it were the beginning of a new intro for Doctor Who. It was brought to our attention by a post on Bleeding Cool, and we have YouTube’s Jason Rico to thank for the weird knot in our stomach for sort of wishing this could happen for real.
On one hand we’re glad the two aren’t really intertwined, as Marvel has continually cut out their own chunk of the nerd world and–as much as we love it–we’re very glad they’ve stayed away from our precious BBC goodness. On the other hand, we can’t help but grin a little thinking about the Doctor Who episodes that exist in some alternate universe where Benedict Cumberbatch was tapped to play the eponymous Doctor instead of Doctor Strange. I mean, we know he can do “eccentric genius who depends upon a regular human companion in a Steven Moffat show,” but can he do all that AND be an alien? Some of us would like to know.
Plus, in the imaginary alternate dimension where this happened, we know the Doctor Who showrunners would have made a south-pole centric episode simply for how he pronounces the word “penguin!” It’s a perfect Doctor Who personality quirk!
What do you think of the Doctor Who/Doctor Strange mash-up? Is it better to think of Doctor Strange in the Who world or The Doctor visiting the MCU? Let’s discuss in the comments below!
