ALL POSTSDefining Magic in the MCU
<p>There had been may threads about this subjects, but with the Doctor Strange movie coming out nearly everywhere today, the interviews with Kevin Feige and Scott Derrickson and some anticipations in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", it wouldn't be the right time to define the concept of magic in the MCU given the amount of material we have right now?

<p>That's the problem. They never mentioned any alchemy. They clearly say that magic and science are one and the same. Also, unlike the Asgardians in the rest of the Marvel Multiverse, the Asgardians in the MCU openly admit that they are not gods. There is nothing supernatural about them. They are just a race that lives longer than humans but they are mortal just as we are.

<p>The fact they aren't gods does not preclude the fact they are have supernatural power. What happens at the end of Frigga's funeral is clearly not scientifically explainable. Same for Strange's mystical power. The fact that the mystical component of the MCU is very grounded doesn't make it "fake" magic. In the past, there was no difference at all between this two methods, even for us. Alchemy was the ancestor of modern chemistry.

<p>Also, we just got confirmation that there is such a thing as a soul in the MCU. That alone goes outside science.
</p><p>Also, what was gonna be your reasoning with the Soul Stone when it showed up?

Guys any opinions about creating an article for Eldritch Magic?
(Edited by Blaublau94)
A general article about magic should be enough.

After watching the movie I'm a litte confused about to waht to do with the article... should we delete the Space Shard article because it's more of a magic ability like the Eldritch Whips and Shields and not so a magic weapon like the Staff of the Living Tribunal?
