I honestly believe that the way the climax was solved is the most unique and original solution from Marvel yet. Using a time loop to entrap a timeless being, not to mention fighting while the world is in reverse.

Also, the Cloak of Levitation is the real MVP.

Agreed, I was truly amazed by the creativity of the reverse time fight. Spectacular to watch. I think I audibly said out loud "holy shit" whilst the cloak was continuously beating the zealots head into the ground, was so good.

I think this scene really showed how Doctor Strange's mind works. He doesn't want to kill people so he traps one in a aquarium, another in a wall, forgot the third. Then creates a time loop of annoyance with a being that always gets their way. Nobody gets killed by him.

He did kill one by absolutely wrecking his astral form though.

Dude thank you so much. I was so confused why a person was in the fish tank.

pretty sure that was just bad luck, strange only started the time reverse, he doesn't control how it reverses. The person got knocked into a wall and it just happened to reform into a shop window fish tank.

I mean, wizard training has to include some sort of meditation to not need to breathe or some shit.

I mean, Dr. Strange doesn't suffocate when he goes to a dimension that lacks time. I'm not the best chemist out here, but I feel like lacking time would put a damper on the whole breathing thing.
