Doctor Strange's WiFi Guy

 You know, for a guy who has had to deal with the Scarlet Witch and was stuck in an endless time-loop with a godly being, Doctor Strange is shockingly impatient. I mean he’s a good guy, all things considered, but oh my god understand that WiFi is not magic. It’s human built, meaning it’s got bugs and glitches and all sorts of things that a simple wave of the hand cannot solve. Jarvis once called Iron Man Howard. It happens with everyone, and it’s not. My. Fault.

Human creations are a funny thing. They’re never perfect. Something or the other is either always missing or always wrong. Humans didn’t even spare babies, where some weigh too much, some too less, or some don’t grow teeth. Like come on, you’d think with centuries and centuries of iterations the man above’s update drops contain less bugs. But they do.

Or maybe it’s human thought which brings about these ‘bugs.’ You can blame it on the bugs themselves, or us, for noticing the bugs in the first place. Look at technology. We’ve got almost no-delay communication from one end of the earth to the other, but we want to make it literally no delay. We can download a 2GB movie in minutes, but we want to move to seconds. To micro-seconds. Humans will never get rid of that hunger to be better, which is what makes us notice these bugs. We can cure a flu, but now we want to cure arthritis. Then cancer. Then death.

This is why lions aren’t flying in the air, or birds going hundreds of feet underwater. Opposable thumbs help sure. But the drive to get better will be what propels us from what’s coming. Dr. Strange says I can’t share the information for our upcoming doom with the world right now (and also that I shouldn’t have intercepted his personal texts), something about causing panic.

I still think The Sorcerer Supreme can make do with a 200 gbps connection.
