The only reason I knew about him was from the Facebook game Marvel&#8217;s Avenger&#8217;s Alliance. I absorbed a lot of my Marvel knowledge from there. With Benedict Cumberbatch starring as the one and only Stephen Strange, I knew I had to see the film. I loved it (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.geeksundergrace.com\/movies\/review-doctor-strange\/\">Full Movie Review<\/a>). It is own of my favorite movies of 2016 for so many reasons, five of which I&#8217;m going to share here in this post.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">For those of you who haven&#8217;t seen the film, Doctor Strange is about a brilliant surgeon named Doctor Stephen Strange. After suffering a devastating accident, his hands have permanent tremors preventing him from ever practicing. He spends all of his fortune on trying to fix them, but to no avail. As a last resort, he travels to a healer in Nepal who turns out to be part of an order of wizards. Magic seems to be the only way Strange&#8217;s hands can heal, but he must fight his inner demons if he ever wishes to accomplish that.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Without further ado, let&#8217;s get to the post!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: red; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: red; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Warning: Some spoilers.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: red; font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- more --><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/dr-strange-mind.gif?resize=640%2C264\" width=\"640\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">1.) A Character Who Struggles with a Disability &#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Doctor Strange has to deal with tremors throughout the film. His hands constantly shake, which made mundane tasks like eating and even shaving difficult for him. It takes him most of the movie for him to gain his independence back. And still by the end of the film, his hands still shake. To me, that made him even more powerful of a character than before. He can be this amazing wizard and have a crippling disability.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Have you considered having a character who has a disability that doesn&#8217;t heal, but they have to deal with throughout the entire story?

Dimensions &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: small;\">Dimensions are a super fun element that I feel hasn&#8217;t been full taken advantage of until recent years in film because of the need for more advanced effects to achieve their full impact. The Doctor Strange universe has infinite dimensions as mentioned by the Ancient One. Dimensions are difference plains of existence that are often parallel to our own. There&#8217;s a theory that there are infinite varieties of our own dimension.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: small;\">In<i> Doctor Strange<\/i>, the wizards have the ability to travel dimensions (which is freaking amazing by the way). For example, they travel the Mirror Dimension which is where battles can be fought without affecting anyone or anything in the regular dimension.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: medium;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Have you thought of using dimensions in your story?

Unique Magic System &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: small;\">The magic system in his movie is so impressive and looks amazingly realistic onscreen. The wizards have to draw symbols in the air to create spells. They create portals with rings and certain hand motions. They can also use weapons to channel their magic. They can also travel the astral plain, which is basically like traveling as a ghost, but the ghost is only your mind while your body is somewhere else. All of this magic has a system, boundaries, continuity, and I&#8217;ve never seen another magic system quite like it.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: medium;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Dr-Stephen-Strange-doctor-strange-2016-39801012-500-208.gif?resize=640%2C266\" width=\"640\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Creating a magic system is different, but how can you make sure your magic system stands out from all of the others out there?

The thing he discovers is that his fear of failure are holding him back. He&#8217;s so scared of failing that he won&#8217;t do things he thinks he&#8217;ll fail at.
