What was to stop Dormammu from just going right back to taking over the planet once Strange freed him from the time loop? It's not like the promise to leave Earth was magically binding. Why did he obey?
What was to stop Dormammu from just going right back to taking over the planet once Strange freed him from the time...

he could just go back and do the whole looping shit again and my guess is dormammu follows some acient rules where a deal is a deal and cant be broken
>It's not like the promise to leave Earth was magically binding.
Are you trying to suggest that Dormammu is a cunt?
Dormammu ain't a fuckng cunt m8 how dare you.
Asshole.
ptsd
As the first post said, there's nothing stopping Dr Strange from just creating another time loop and trapping him all over again.
Strange could have done the same shit over again too. The only way to successfully do it is to actually hire some goon who will assassinate Strange
>What was to stop Dormammu from just going right back to taking over the planet once Strange freed him from the time loop?
Because Dr. Strange also reset time to when the seal were still not broken once he got out of the loop. So Dormammu still couldn't come back. It was quite obvious, try to pay attention.
Also, the seal were restored after he ended his confrontation.
Did you not pay attention at all when you were watching the movie? His dimension doesn't have time as we know it. He had no idea how to handle time used as a weapon against him. If you were some ultra-powerful dimensional warlord and you suddenly got blindsided by a wizard you know fuck all about using some completely alien and inscrutable magic to render you powerless you wouldn't break your deal with that wizard two seconds after he leaves. That would be retarded. He doesn't have any sense of what Strange is or isn't capable of.
True, he’s probably been permanently scarred by the concept of time and thus would have a PTSD attack if he went into a dimension where time existed
I don't think he is scared and he might plot to come back, (like have strange or the time stone destroyed before coming back), but the seal are restored (or never were broken, as Strange used time rewind), he simply can't come back, even if he wanted.
>two seconds after he leaves.
nigga what the fuck does that even mean?
speak english
Yeah, it doesn't make sense because you can't really depict a dimension that doesn't have time with characters who can still move and talk. Which is why I qualified it with "time as we know it."
Dormammu is a man of his word
What makes you think he isn’t? Asshole
Isn't Mario 64 precisely the kind of game that came out and they played when they were a teen/kids ?
I mean Millennial are literally born between 82 and 2000, So i am one and most people on Yea Forums are too.
It's a joke you idiot.
maybe it was magically binding you retard
Yeah, but a lot of millennials are in denial that people are actually talking about them and assume they mean kids these days
The whole "complain about millenial" shtick is about how they are now becoming the active embers of the society and the new group of consumer and industries complain they don't have an as high consuming habit as their predecessors, so it's not just about kids.
The MCU is full of lazy and shitty screen writing - to be fair, it's not just the MCU - pretty much any story that involves time travel has this problem. What was to stop OG Eobard from going back and creating Doom World earlier or in some other way foiling the Legends?
However, the MCU, given the attention it gets, is just full of plot contrivances and the stupidest plot devices just to move the story along JUST because the screen writers, given the amount of cash they are collecting, are lazy. An example is that someone like that woman can easily grab Tony Stark at the back of a presentation and accost him when he's conveniently by himself.
Do you think Zuckerberg or Bill Gates or even Trump himself before he was president was running around after a speech without a staffer or body guard or someone from the hosting group around, or that just like at a concert or other event, there wasn't security keeping the rift raft out from the 'special people' and 'celebrities?'
Dormammu has a sense of honour. He's also impatient not particularly bright.
If that had been Shuma Gorath or Chthon, Strange would have been fucked.
Magical creatures are bound by contracts/deals in ways different than mortals. This is a very old staple of fiction
Why didn't Dormammu just keep Strange alive and slowly torture him while keeping him from dying?
What would that accomplish?
Because it's denying Strange the sweet release of death and allowing him to respawn back at full health. You need to think like a villain.
It literally doesn't matter if he does x thing for y amount of time in a time loop.
Because when you’re a timeless deity there’s not a whole lot of difference between torturing a guy forever until he eventually dies of old age and just killing him instantly if they both end in an immediate respawn
Part of the agreement was taking his flunkies with him. With no agents on Earth and the barrier intact, Dormammu has no way of going back on his bargain
top kek
I think the loop was just a timer, not a death-based trigger. It only seemed like a death-based trigger because Strange has no experience of the time between when he dies and when the timer goes off what with him being dead, so the movie just shows you him going back to being alive at the beginning as soon as he's dead rather than show you ten minutes of nothing repeatedly.
How many times did Strange fucking die?
Probably because once Dormammu was kicked off of Earth, he couldn't launch a counter measure until the Sanctums were functional again.
He HAD to leave the first time because otherwise Strange wouldn't stop bothering him and by the time he could do anything else, it was too late because the gateway ended up closed.
>hire some goon who will assassinate Strange
And technically Dormammu had tried that.
That's basically what his cultists were doing.
And they failed.
Also this is true. He needed Kaecilus to weaken the Sanctums so he could gain passage. Without a new herald he’s SOL.
according to a version of the scene that got cut because it made the test audiences too uncomfortable, hundreds of thousands of times
he spent more time dying over and over again than he spent being alive up until the beginning of the loop
Would you /pol/tards please leave? Nobody wants you here.
Strange convinced him to not bother with Earth, its full of Jews
Shuma Gorath would just take his resitance as a challenge and then torture him for an eternity until he brokeOr make a bargain where he could be a game show host in japan
>Or make a bargain where he could be a game show host in japan
What is this a reference to?
Test audiences sure are good at ruining movies. I've never heard of something that was changed for the better because test audiences disliked it. Who the fuck are these people?
The difference between Tony and those losers is that Tony is Iron Man. He can defend himself better than any bodyguard could.
>bu-bu-but he needs the suit!
Watch the fucking movies. He can press a button and the suit equips itself on him.
How did Dormammu get followers on earth if there was a seal? Couldn't he just do it again?
Kaecilius was always the dark sheep of the order, and when he found out that the Ancient One secretly drew power from the Dark Dimension he wanted some of that. With both Kaecilius and Ancient One gone and no other wizards messing with dark magic, Dormammu has no way of corrupting others.
I wager 'test audience member' is the absolute bottom rung of employment for people who set out to get a career in the film industry that never got anywhere. Like, the kinds of people that couldn't even handle being an extra or assistant cameraman #27 but still felt this compulsive drive to be involved in movie-making in some way
>How did Dormammu get followers on earth if there was a seal?
Misguided sorcerers that learned about the Dark Dimension, and thought it would truly give them eternal life.
One of the Marvel vs Capcom endings for Shuma is him becoming a game show host in japan because the character is insanely popular there and with fans of the games
Not really, they just grab a bunch of people near them on the street and make them sign non disclosure contracts
>Dormammu
>In charge of not getting dabbed on by Strange over and over again in the comics
Ah.
Because of the tentacles?
Maybe Shuma has a great voice for broadcast and endless wit.
>making a promise sealed in magic
>breaking said promise
That's never a good idea. When people break magic contracts, they either go insane, they get sucked into a prison dimension, they die, or they just physically can't. I can't recall a single magic based story where breaking magical contracts is not a big thing.
If Dormammu's realm is timeless and ours obviously is not, then who is to say that Dormammu can just go back at a later date? What is a later date in his realm? Without time, with what sense can Dormammu say Strange has been gone for X amount of time?
Wouldn't just going back to Earth put him at the last he's been on the temporal plane, of course being the time loop?
