Why didn't Doctor Strange appear when Hela came to Earth?


Earlier in the latter film, when Thor meets Strange for the first time, the dialogue reads:

Strange: “So I keep a watch list of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world. Your adopted brother Loki is one of these beings.”

Thor: “He's a worthy inclusion.”

Strange: “Then why bring him here?”

Thor: “We're looking for my father.”

Strange: “So. If you were to tell you where Odin was, all parties concerned would promptly return to Asgard?”

Thor: “Promptly”

Strange: “Great. Then I'll help you.”

The Eternal Answer is: Because the movie needed it to happen. --OR-- The movie needed it not to happen.

If Doctor Strange was around, he would have stopped her, and...end of movie.

She is too powerful even for Strange

I dont think on Earth, she feeds off Asgard. Strange would just warp her ass to a different dimension hence not being in the movie at that point
