aye brehs, what's the difference between Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch's magic??

[Roland Coltrane]

first off, I'm not a comic book head so please don't come at me if this is a stupid question


magic figures prominently is key points, especially the last third of the film and it just got me curious

how come Dr. Strange had to go to that place in the Himalayas to learn magic, and basically become a scholar, but Scarlett Witch just seems to have innate magical ability?

also, I'm assuming that all magic isn't the same but in what ways are Strange's magic different than Scarlet Witch's


Dr Strange powers


Scarlet Witch

 

[Arris]

Scarlet witch is a mutant, but because fox had the rights to xmen they just explained away her and her brothers powers as side effects from (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) the tesseract instead

 

[Doomsday]

Scarlet Witch is a mutant, she's the daughter of Magneto and brother to Quicksilver. She was born with her powers and has to learn to control them. Dr Strange had to be taught magic.

 

[Rhapture]

One is a mutant whose ability was to alter probability through the use of hex spheres. She would throw them at people and give them bad luck/curse them. She later learned actual magic from Agatha Harkness which upgraded her mutant abilities to full blown reality warping.

Strange is a human surgeon who learned magic from powerful monks and earned the title of sorcerer supreme. He is the primary defender of earth when it comes to magical and cosmic villains.

yeah but I noticed their magic looks different from one another, any explanation for the mechanisms behind that?

Strange doesn't have inherent powers. All his shyt comes from the gear and the spells and what nots. The same being that powers Juggernaut powers those crimson bands he throws out to wrap people in. So Strange is pulling from mad different sources of power. The time stone for instance.

I'm MCU Scarlet Witch's powers are way different than the comics. I'd say essentially she has telekenisis in MCU. It flows from her hands and is colored red.

Jean Grae does the same type of shyt but it has no color code and doesn't seem to eminate as a beam from her limbs

different schools of magic, at least in the comics, im not too sure how much detail theyve given the mcu wanda. shes a practitioner of chaos magic while strange isne really defined by one classification

scarletts powers are psionic in the movies, i dont think they are "magic"

 

[Nymbus]

they never called her "scarlet witch" or called her powers "magic" in the films have they

 

[Roland Coltrane]

scarletts powers are psionic in the movies, i dont think they are "magic"

then why would they name her Scarlet Witch

and why wouldn't psionic power qualify as some kind of magic


this is why I made this thread, I wanna get down to the nitty gritty

Victor Von Doom would shoot that man the fair one as contender foe the title and probably do a better job. All types of villains would be like "DOOM protecting Earth now? "

uhh because thats her name

psionic is the power of the mind, magic is using external intra/extra-dimensional energies for a variety of effects. same effect different cause. they are not the same.
