Topic	Has MCU Dr strange ever won a significant fight?
adjl 04/19/24 8:33:31 AM #8:	ParanoidObsessive posted... but realistically, he "lost the fight but won the war" in both cases. That's kind of how I'm thinking. He's clearly victorious overall, which makes it kind of silly to fixate on him "losing" fights. ParanoidObsessive posted... I'd disagree about Dormammu. Strange didn't beat him in a fight. He lost to him over and over and over again. What he did was outsmart him. Which is sort of a different thing. I'd still disagree. "Losing" implies that the outcome wasn't what Strange wanted/expected, which wasn't the case. He expected to be killed repeatedly, and in fact wanted Dormammu to take that bait so he'd be locked in a loop that would drive him insane. Viewed narrowly, it's hard to think of "you died in this fight" as anything other than a loss, but it is what Strange wanted to happen and neither Strange nor anyone that would miss him actually perceived those deaths, so characterizing them as losses doesn't make a lot of sense. --- This is my signature.
