Yes, casuals don't even know who doctor strange is.

They didn't know who Ant-Man was either, and it didn't flop

It's Marvel, it's MCU, it won't flop

I just watched Winter Soldier the other day and was surprised to hear his name

I hope not. This looks like it could be the best superhero film of the year.

The more MCU movies they make the greater the likelihood that one of them will bomb or underperform.*

Law of averages.

I don't think Doctor Strange is going to be it though, they've established credit with their "literally what the fuck" properties like Ant Man and GotG now so people will at least give it a chance.

*Well, worse than the Thor ones have so far, those haven't been as well-received as other movies despite him being one of the Avengers.

He's more powerful than movie version. Strange has a huge list of powers, and movie Witch is pretty much just mind control and telekinesis.

Comic version Scarlet Witch can warp reality, and while Strange can do pretty much anything, he cannot change reality. As in erasing all of the past, present and future and replacing it with what you feel like.

None of the Marvel films have been "serious," they have all been comedic in some degree, I doubt Dr. Strange will change up the formula.

Nah, Dr. Strange is at least quite known.
Marvel's second biggest gamble has always been GOTG since absolutely no one ever cared about them.

I'm saying it's the second one, because Iron Man will always be their biggest gamble.
The movie was filmed mostly without a script, Iron Man wasn't really interesting, and if that movie and The Incredible Hulk failed, Marvel would have gone under.

Thor was a joke character and was one of the very first MCU films. GotG was a group of characters that normies had never even heard of before. Ant-Man was a Z-list character. Doctor Strange has Cumberbatch and momentum from Civil War, it'll do fine. The only way they can fuck it up is if they get shitty reviews.
