him again and again even stalking him since the beginning of that movie and even peter's allies were actually shape-shifting aliens in disguise see folks we have been primed to trust no one who offers to help peter in these movies so back to the question is doctor strange mephisto i will say hopefully not because not every liar in the mcu is mephisto people strange is known for quirky self-contradictions rule breaking while there are definitely some elements of one more day in no way home i could see this simply as a doctor seeing a patient in need of wizard surgery his admonishment of peter strange's ego projecting his mistakes on others i just think strange is a more interesting character if he's not mephisto but if doctor strange in this movie looks in a mirror and sees mephisto staring back at him while i will be obligated by blood curse to stand and applaud i think most audiences would be a bit thrown by a mirror in a spider-man movie haunted by anyone other than a loose norman osborne ghost in the same way that if this whole movie were to be revealed as part of an ongoing illusion by mysterio plausible i guess but it's gonna take a lot for that to not feel a bit disappointing right however i do believe it's not only possible but likely that strange's actions could be motivated by supernatural forces like mephisto full-blown demonic possession maybe maybe not but strange has always been more aware of the dark entities lurking beyond this reality than he has led on as mordo warned the bill comes due and for strange i think the cost of his mastery of the mystic arts is a mind vulnerable to parasitic forces from beyond when doctor strange looked ahead at the NUMBER_TOKEN future outcomes he emerged from that trance shaken with fear and fear leads people to do irrational things and i don't think it's crazy at all to believe that one of the things he saw was a demon that he now as i do sees in every shadow manifesting as every dark thought leading strange to use a kid's wish to bend reality to preemptively imprison every multiversal evil in his weird little ghostbusters trap and the way that wand division's post-credit scene left us with the scarlet witch opening cosmic floodgates from marvel's book of the damned i could see a post-credits scene to spider-man no way home setting up doctor strange in the multiverse of madness with the implication that strange's actions with peter parker were done in the service of or the prevention against that chilling whisper so if mephisto is not in spider-man no way home definitely keep an eye out for him in multiverse of madness and in my case every time i close my eyes to blink oh god oh god oh god support new rockstars by checking out our merch options including our new marvel what if limited edition shirt and URL_TOKEN follow me on instagram and twitter at eavos follow and subscribe to new rockstars thanks for watching and uh again for everyone who comments reacting to thumbnail without watching the video honestly every time i try to do something fun or exciting you make it not that way i
