Being a New York resident, you get used to superheroes flying about. The Battle of New York brought all these crazies in spandex out in the open. I don’t even bat an eye when I see Iron Man flying through Times Square anymore; it’s just become part of my commute.
You take a walk in Central Park, and you see the Quinjet flying out of Avengers Tower. Head over to Hell’s Kitchen and there’s Daredevil and Moon Knight perched atop a gothic building, trying desperately to blend in as a Gargoyle. It isn’t a normal day until one of those D-list villains trying to make a name for themselves and tries to throw the bus or train I’m on. I swear the Wrecking Crew doesn't want to rob banks, they just want me to miss my 8 o’clock meeting.
Today we got our first good luck at Dr. Strange, whose secret identity is believed to be Benedict Cumberbatch. The Sorcerer Supreme was seen chasing his longtime nemesis Baron Mordo, believed to be Chiwetel Ejiofor, through Greenwich Village. The Eye of Agamotto is dangling from Dr. Strange’s neck, which is the source of all his power. The former doctor turned magician has his magical enclave, known as the Sanctum Sanctorum, stationed in the Village, cloaked as a normal building. Wong, Dr. Strange’s humble assistant is nowhere to be seen, most likely holed up waiting for Strange’s return.
I have to go pick up my neighbor’s dog, Ms. Lion in Forest Hills. Hopefully this time I won’t walk into any Spider-Man webbing.
The Dr. Strange movie is coming out on November 4, 2016, which I bet won’t mention that time Strange turned into a demon and the Hulk ripped his hands off.
