Actually, no, far from it.
Buckle up.
Dr. Stephen Strange. Rich, miraculous doctor. Loses the most important thing: his hands. Becomes a bum. Goes to live with the village people. Discovers a power within him and starts doing bad-ass things. Blah blah blah, he saves humanity.
Jesus Christ. A King, a God. Loses the most important thing: His full godliness. Becomes a vagabond. Goes to live with the village people. Uses power within Him and starts doing bad-ass things. Blah blah blah, He saves humanity.
Okay, these are just coincidences and literally every superhero story is similar to this. What else?
Aside from being incredibly brilliant, Dr. Strange has the powers to wield the Time Stone meaning he can control probabilities and time. He can see the future. However, he cannot, well moreso shouldn't, change the future even though he knows what will happen.
Girl, what are you even talking about?
Listen!
So, even though Dr. Strange knows the future and what will happen, he refuses to interfere so that destiny can be fulfilled. During the battle scene of Endgame, Iron Man (Tony Stark) asks Dr. Strange if this is their final chance to beat Thanos and save humanity to which Strange response, "If I tell you what happens, it won't happen." We know Tony's ego wouldn't allow him to sacrifice himself for humanity had he known that's what he was going to do.
Enter Christ.
The Son of God is said to know all, the beginning and the end. While the Bible tells us that Jesus gave information about what's to come, nothing is concrete. Similarly to Dr. Strange, Jesus knows what will happen, yet doesn't interfere just hoping that humans will make the right choice and save themselves.
Both Dr. Strange and Christ are crazy powerful beings just waiting and hoping humans will do the right thing. Is that not crazy?
