Let’s find out the meaning together by going to understand who the characters are introduced.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Two Post Credit Scene Explained
It is no mystery that in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness we will see the third eye of Strange. This new “power” was in fact shown in one of the many trailers and teasers released in the previous months. But let’s try to understand what the meaning of this third eye is in the film and what repercussions it may have in the future of the MCU.
Who Is The Character Appearing In Doctor Strange 2’s First Post-Credit Scene?
In the first post-credit scene, present in the middle of the credits, we see strange strolling quietly through the streets of New York City. At one point, he is called back by a woman behind him. This is Clea (the character who is played by Charlize Theron). She asks Strange to follow her, as he must repair the damage caused by her recent actions. Strange accepts, then Clea, thanks to a sword, tears reality open by opening a portal. Just before going through the portal, we see a third eye appear on Doctor Strange’s forehead. Clea, in the comics, is the niece of the evil Dormammu (lord of the Dark Dimension), holder of the mystical arts and future disciple and love interest of Strange.
Doctor Strange 2’s Second Post-Credit Scene
The second post-credit scene is a direct homage to the horror saga of Sam Raimi’s House. In fact, we see Bruce Campbell (present in practically all the director’s films) in the role of a peddler of meatballs-pizza. The character continues to slap himself for “three weeks” due to a spell cast by Doctor Strange in the early stages of the film. When the spell is released Campbell, finally free, stares directly at the camera and exclaims: “It’s over!”
The Third Eye Powers Explained? Sinister Strange’s Third Eye
The trailers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showed some of the variants of Strange and Scarlet Witch that the multiverse will bring to the current MCU timeline, and the one most talked about is Sinister Strange, which in the latest teaser is shown with a third eye but what is this third eye and what powers does it give Sinister Strange?
Although this is the first time that Doctor Strange (any variant of it) is shown with a third eye, the public is already familiar with it, as it is none other than the Eye of Agamotto. In the comics, the Eye of Agamotto is a magical talisman created by Agamotto, a member of the Vishanti, a trio of supernatural divinity-like entities. The Eye of Agamotto is usually possessed by the Sorcerer Supreme, a role that once belonged to Agamotto himself. The eye is used to find and show the “truth” and can emit an “all-revealing light”, reproduce recent events, accompany the wearer’s astral form, is one of the few objects that can be used when in shape astral (although less powerful in that scenario) and has telepathy-like abilities. When using the Eye,
Even in the comics, the Eye is only used for order or “white” magic and does not respond to commands from an evil bearer, meaning it can only be used by sorcerers with a pure heart and a clean soul. Of course, there were exceptions to this, such as when Baron Mordo (disguised as Strange) was able to use the Eye and even Loki wore and used the talisman at some point.
The third eye on Sinister Strange’s forehead, therefore, is the Eye of Agamotto, and while this raises a lot of questions about how and why this evil version of Doctor Strange is able to use the Eye, it also solves a big question about Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
Strange’s Third Eye Powers
In addition to showing “truth”, reproducing recent events and being one of the few objects that can be used when the wearer is in his astral form, the Eye of Agamotto grants other powers to its users. In the comics, the Eye radiates a mystical light that allows Strange to see through disguises and illusions (including those of Skrull), observes past events, tracks ethereal and corporeal beings based on their psychic or magical emissions, and weakens various beings. evil mystics. The Eye also grants Strange the ability to probe the minds of others, project a mystical barrier, create portals to other dimensions, and transport dozens of beings of all types and levels of power to another point in the universe. The Eye has also been used to pierce the veil of the Dark Dimension,
The “Real” Doctor Strange Gets The Third Eye At The End Of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
Things you will know, if you have seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the “real” Strange (that of “our” Universe) gets the third eye. In the final seconds of the film, in fact, we see Strange walking around New York City, when at one point he falls to the ground. Standing up, he screams in pain and we see the third eye appear on his forehead.
Bruce Campbell breaks the fourth wall
Less impactful in terms of plot but still fun the last scene at the end of the film, in which we find a character already seen during the film. In the first dimension visited by Strange and America after being thrown into the Multiverse (and chased by Wanda) the girl has a small altercation with a seller of pizza balls (Pizza Poppa). She thought you could get free food, while he wants to be paid. To resolve the issue, Steven casts a spell on the man, after showering his face with mayonnaise. The magic causes the man to strike himself in the face repeatedly. Strange reveals to the girl that the effects will wear off … after a few weeks.
The protagonist of the scene is a real wink to Sam Raimi fans: he is Bruce Campbell, a friend of his youth and a fetish actor of Sam Raimi in his low-budget horror productions. He is primarily known for playing the character of Ash Williams in The House franchise. In the post-credit scene, we see the moment when the street vendor stops hitting himself. The spell is over. The man is relieved, turns around in the room, and, breaking the fourth wall, shouts “it’s finished, isn’t it !?” referring to both the spell and the movie.
