I’m geeked!!! I hadn’t been in this thread to see all of the speculation so once I heard that Goblin laugh then seen Doc Ock I was floored!
I agree that it’s strange (pun intended) that Strange would do this. I’m thinking there has to be another reason tied in, like he just looped Peter’s request into something he was going to do anyway.
Or he saw into the future that the world knowing who Spider-Man was would bring disaster at some point.
Or that wasn’t really Strange.
Idk, but I see Strange as more responsible with his magic than to do a bro favor.
