Why the hell didn't Dr. Strange stop Hela?

Dr. Strange mentioned that he watches Earth for dangerous beings and immediately went into action against Loki. He directs Thor to his father's location after he promises to leave Earth.

After Thor and Loki meet their dad their sister arrives, Hela. Dr. Strange didn't notice that trick?

He was on the toilet for the brief moment that she was on Earth due to a dodgy Nepalese buryani.

He was using the Eye of Amagottapoop.

because Hollywood doesn't know how to write anymore.

She came to Earth for all of two minutes, was in a secluded mountain with no one around, and didn't attack anyone while there. What did you expect?

reply

Correct. Strange not coming for Hela shouldn’t be a big mystery.

And it can be argued that Loki was on earth for a bit longer (in a big city, no less) than Hela was when Strange snagged him. Loki after all was in the same city as Strange, a city in which he previously caused a massive invasion.

Because the mceu is inconsistent as f***.
Haven´t you noticed yet?

No one knew who HELA was. Odin had held her existence a secret. And nor did Strange know.

Loki was a known maniac who tried to take over the whole world. So surely Strange needed no excuse there. But some lady arriving in black, let us see... and within 1 minute and 20 seconds (yes, that was it) she left Earth again. Actually, from Thor's attack (yes, he attacked first), it was only 38 seconds.

We cannot blame Strange. He is no judge and no executioner. He is a protector. And HELA did no harm to Earth in the 38 seconds she was there fighting her siblings.

FYI, Loki was on Earth for 44 seconds (if screen time equals his time here) before Strange interfered... so even for Loki, it took Strange a bit more time to conjure up some appropriate magic - meaning if he was doing the same for Hela, she left Earth before he had the chance....
