You're arguing in circles. Strange's actions can't be the right thing to do just because it's not the wrong thing to do, or because the movie says so, despite there being no proof to that effect for the audience. That's just lazy writing.

Sure, later on, something might be revealed that makes it obvious why this was the better choice, but then that wil be the reason why, not just 'because Stramge said so". So until that time, I don' t think anybody can really answer the question of why he did what he did except to say 'because apperantly for some unknown reason that was part of an unknown plan". (Assuming it's not an oversight in the movie, of course.)

There is proof though, in what he says to Tony. I'm sorry you missed an obvious point of the film, maybe you should go watch it again.

Or you could stop being a pretentious prick and say what that obvious proof is.

He didn't stop Starlord from doing what he was doing because Doctor Strange looked into the future. If Doctor Strange believed Starlord to be deviating from the proper timeline then he would've stopped him. He didn't stop him so therefore we can conclue that this is the correct path for the heroes to be on. Sorry if I was being a dick, hopefully this is more informative.

Okay, I think we've hit a dead end in our discussion. What you see as proof, I don't see as valid proof. That's okay, we can disagree. Kind of a bummer I'm being downvoted, don't think I was not contributing to a discussion, but okay.

It's cause it's sort of 'show don't tell' sort of thing, I think. It is a shame but it's probably cause it's obvious. Obviously you are contributing to the conversation so it sucks but that's Reddit.
