The Marvel Universe is filled with egos , but no two are quite as full-grown as Tony Stark ’s and Dr. Stephen Strange ’s .
These two are the resident virtuoso of the Avengers roll , and while they may seem too similar to be compatible , Avengers : Infinity Warwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely recentlytoldYahoo ! that the duo ’s shared arrogance made them the perfect on - screenland twosome . And the influence behind the determination to keep these two fictional character associate the intact movie came from the moral force between Dr. Frasier Crane ( Kelsey Grammer ) and his blood brother Niles ( David Hyde Pierce ) in the hit sitcomFrasier .
In the series , the Crane brothers share nigh every trait : Both are ego - drive , neurotic , fastidious psychiatrist with a penchant for fancy eating house and pricey sherry . While the distinctive situation comedy normal at the fourth dimension was to roleplay against type — à laThe Odd Couple — the brothers ’ dynamic worked because it presented the oldest Crane brother with a foil that was “ even more like Frasier than Frasier , ” theInfinity Warwriters explained .
By leaning into their share personalities , it leave the show to dissect the Brother even further . “ It also make you the wonderful chance for Frasier to go like , ‘ Wow , I must be really plaguy , because he ’s really plaguey , ’ ” Markus explained .
For theInfinity Warwriters , this was the perfect templet to have Stark and unusual coexist throughout the pic together . Instead of divvying up the chesty distich , they stuck them together to see what would bechance .
“ To take Tony and Dr. Strange , who are quite similar — they both have goatees , they ’re both arrogant — the pulsing might be , ‘ Well , rent ’s keep them separate because they occupy the same space , and everyone will get their own Arrogant Goatee Man , ” Markus explained . “ But to put them together , one , is funny , and their major power are whole unlike . But also it helps Tony go , ‘ Wow , arrogant people are really annoying … I ’m arrogant , huh . ’ This is how we become better people in life-time . ”
mayhap ifJustice Leaguechanneled its innerFriendsdynamic , DC could have challengedInfinity Warforbox post mastery .
