Demiurge (Overlord) vs Doctor Strange (MCU)

[Akreious]

As we can see, the Hellfire wall just completely bypassed Evileye and directly hit the two running. We also see their entire bodies are engulfed; meaning a shield from only one direction will not at all defend against it.

 

[The_Archdemon]

The Ancient One can create full body shields. Strange should be able to do the same, shouldn't he?

 

[Moritzva]

He's never shown the ability to so no.

 

[Schnee_One]

Dr Strange already mastered the mystic arts by this point and I'd even more knowledgeable on it then the Anciemt One

That's why he has time resistance as well.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I'm not entirely sure Strange's first move is shielding his entire body, though, unless he has precog that would tell him Demi has omnidirectional attacks, which I don't think is combat applicable.

I'm not crazy knowledgeable about the MCU, though, so if I'm wrong someone tell me.

 

[Akreious]

Actually no.

Strange at this point shouldn't be superior to the Ancient One, as Thanos only mobilized and started moving when he did *because* the Ancient One and Odin had died.

Also Hellfire Wall takes a literal handwave to perform. In that scan, The Ancient One reacted to a bow.

Blocking an Arrow < Literal Handwave.

 

[Schnee_One]

Where was that stated?

 

[The_Archdemon]

Yeah Strange shouldn't be more knowledgeable in magic than the Ancient One by this time, I supppose. She was the Sorcerer Supreme and Strange was neve claimed to be one.

He would have said so in his confrontation with Thanos if he was. Instead, he said "Master of the Mystic Arts".

Also, the Ancient One should have Time Stop Resistance as well. You know, Kaecillius has and she's far more experienced and powerful.

Anyway how's reacting to an arrow < handmotion?

For a Bow, you have to draw and let go at best. A handwave is... a handwave.

Essentially, a wave of the hand will always be faster than an attack that requires you to draw a bow.

 

[The_Archdemon]

I mean... an arrow is certainly faster than a handwave...

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

As always, it depends how far the arrow is from you.

 

[ApiesDeathbyLazors]

An arrow travels fast sure, but to fire an arrow, one must first reach back and draw the arrow, knock it to the bow, pull back the string and then release vs a single hand wave. Now why are we talking about arrows? I've sorta been in and out of this one.

 

[Akreious]

Basically yeah, what Apies said. Even if you are a literal inch away from your target, the time it takes to draw your bow and fire it will always be slower than a hand gesture (Assuming speed equal.

As it was the Ancient One who produced the full-body shield, it's even less of a feat considering she is easily *the* best Sorcerer at the time and is likely faster than every single one of the mooks.
