Her genuine energy is so infectious, easily my favorite new channel I've found.

Your reactions.. your editing.. your attention to MCU details.. your joy at seeing Stan Lee.. your laugh… thank you again for sharing these! ❤🐑

One of the best castings in the entire MCU, love this film

When she gets excited, her whole face lights up. Her unbridled enthusiasm makes this channel a joy to watch.

For reference of how strong Strange is in later films, it’s been debated how long he actually spent being killed in looped time when in the dark dimension with Dormammu. The director claims he spent around 10 years in the loop which gave him enough time to really master his abilities, emerging from the dark dimension as truly the most powerful sorcerer on the planet and worthy of filling the position as Sorcerer Supreme

The Doctor Strange movies are the most imaginative ones in the MCU. I love the reality-warping action scenes, especially the climatic fight in this one, with time running backwards. I was so blown away by that when I saw it in the theaters.

“It’s all coming together!” She’s a True Believer❤

Fun Fact: Benedict Cumberbatch play as Doctor Strange & did the voice of Dormammu.

It's a genuine pleasure watching your reactions!

Been a Capt America fan since 1977. I cannot tell you how much I love Capt America, and am so glad at how he was treated in the movies. The movies were a tribute to how he is in the comics.

There is nothing better after coming home after a 12hr shift and seeing Jax has a new Marvel movie reaction

I defy anyone to not bring out a smile whenever Jax starts laughing, what a beautiful spirit

Great movie and great reaction. When Dr Strange is driving his car while having a conversation about a possible patient to treat, the guy on the phone tells him about an Air Force Colonel in an experimental armor who crushed is lower spine. It must be Rhodey in the Warmachine armor who got shot by Vision in Captain America Civil War. Favortite part of this reaction : 37:07 When you realize you were absolutely right. Loved it :)

There is such a delightful light in your eyes as you watch these films that just lifts my heart. I truly love when you answer questions like Sam asking Cap & Natasha if they eat breakfast with "I do," as if you're part of the scene, and how you always grab Lamby when things get a bit hairy. What I'm building up to is that you bring something very special to re-watching these beloved movies, and I appreciate sharing your first watching. There is a magic in you that glows to each of us, and whether it's the little girl in you coming out to play with us, or you're just a great actress, it doesn't matter ... I'm hooked. There's only one other film-reviewer on YT in your class, and I watch everything she does, as I do with you. l truly hope that you get as much pleasure as you send out, and trust me when I tell you, you are making the world a better place by being Jax for us.

I appreciate how Jax picks up on detail and literally quotes characters like Vision from a previous movie. The MCU ties together well but for a first time reactor she is really paying attention and giving the text the credence a lot of people just ignore. There's depth here!!

Fun Fact: Rachel McAdams scream was genuine, the broom wasnt supposed to fall over. Love that they kept that in.

4:50 I always thought they were talking about Rhodey (who hit the ground in Civil war with a resulting spine injury), but you could be right. [edit because spelling is hard :) ].

There’s such a massive saturation of reaction channels on YT. It’s so nice when they offer genuine entertaining engagement and commentary.

About the Stan Lee cameo. If you notice, he was laughing while reading a book. According to Stan, that was the book he was reading that inspired him to create Dr Strange.

My favorite line in this movie and one of the best in the MCU is from the Ancient One to Mordo: "We never lose our demons, we only learn to live above them." It's actually such an important concept to understand in a lot of real life situations...

I grew up on Dr. Strange comics so I was actually excited when I found out this was being made. It’s fun with cool concepts and the visuals are tremendous 🤘🏽

When this film first came out in theaters, it was assumed the mention of a Colonel that had suffered a spine injury was a reference to Rhody in Civil War and the fact he broke his back and lost use of his legs. However, in the time since its release, the MCU fans have realized it makes much more sense for Strange to have been training at Kamar-Taj for several years and that the injured Air Force officer was more likely the Hammer test pilot. I found it pretty amazing that going back that far to Iron Man 2 was actually your first thought and that you didn't mention Rhodes at all.

I've been a fan of Doctor Strange since 1995. RIP Stan Lee and Steve Dikto.I loved the Ditko/Kubrick/Miyazaki/The Matrix and Fantasia influences in the movie. "We Never Lose Our Demons, Mordo. We Only Learn To Live Above Them." "So You Joined A Cult." "They Really Should Put The Warnings Before This Spell." "But Look At Me. Stretching One Moment Out Into A Thousand. Just So That I Can Watch The Snow." "Have You Ever Seen *That* Before In A Gift Shop?" "Dormammu, I've Come To Bargain."

yay Jax time 🥳🔥🍻 “we never lose our demons; we only learn to live above them.” Tilda was a great casting

Actually the guy in the armor with the spinal injury referenced at the beginning is Rhodes. Remember he was injured and lost use of his legs in Civil War.

When Doctor Strange use the time stone on Dormammu that is a reference of: I can do this all day 💪

One thing I love that the MCU did so well with Dr. Strange and the magic side of it in general is how they show that it isnt just raw power that wins the day. Its intelligence and out thinking your opponent. When Dr. Strange was fighting in the sanctum he won because he outsmarted them when they had the clear power advantage. Same with Dormomu, he couldn't hope to beat Dormomu but he outsmarted him.

I believe the "Air Force colonel with a spine injury" is Rhodey, after Vision accidentally shot him down in Civil War. Which would place the beginning of this film right at the end of that one, rather than the other way around. Could be wrong, though. Always enjoy these reactions!

In general, the release order of MCU movies roughly matches their chronological fit in the timeline (except when they're flashback stories taking place in a different era, which is usually made clear). So Thor: The Dark Wolrd takes place after the Avengers, Ant-Man takes place after Age of Ultron, and Dr Strange takes place after Civil War. Sometimes they're bunched very close together- even simultaneous. For example back in Phase 1, the events of The Incredible Hulk.Iron Man 2 and Thor all take place during the same week.

The best way to handle time-travel and multi-verses is just to roll with it, and not to over-think it. It's made up. It works. :)

Good catch on the IM2 spine injury they pitch to Strange. You are correct.

Doctor Strange, GOTG, Ant Man and Shang Chi are my favorite origin movies, they all feel so unique because of their powersets and direction of the movie

Here is an interesting trivial fact. When they were filming the scene in the broom closet, the broom was not supposed to fall over. The actress playing Christine was legitimately startled and her reaction was so good they decided to put it into the Final Cut LOL

YES! my favorite reactor finally uploads.

I loved the visual style. They really made everything look like it came right off the pages of a Steve Ditko drawn comic.

Dr. Strange has always held a special place in my heart (it was a Strange story I was assigned in my unsuccessful try-out as an artist for Marvel waaaay back in 1981) so I was nervous about the movie when I first saw it in the theater. I wasn't disappointed, and I'm glad you liked it as much as I do. I love watching you trying to work through the continuity of the MCU. If it helps, I know the old comics inside out and even I struggle with it sometimes. I wouldn't normally suggest checking out the source material--the movies change so much, usually for good reason--but they do such an excellent job of bringing the art of Dr. S co-creator Steve Ditko to life, you might want to check your library for a collection of the early stories. Also, is it weird that I spent half the video wondering what books are on your shelves behind you?

Jax is such a bright light we must protect her at all costs ❤️🙌

Lamby to the rescue!!!! Also, Loving the crossover theories! Like, Hulk in the Mirror dimension. Keep them coming!

I love the shirt Jax!!Well this was so fun watching with you. I loved Dr.Strange they picked the perfect actor to play him !!I love this journey I'm the biggest MCU fan .It's so fun watching it all come together for you!!😂

Jax, I’ve waited 2 weeks for this. Excellent reaction. I can appreciate your content pacing/ scheduling, but I’m forced to rewatch your other MCU reactions to hold me over until every other Friday. 😁 I’m always trying to find a way to comment on your reactions without flat out answering the questions and theories you bringup during each MCU installation, because they’re great questions. “It’s not about you!”, has always been my favorite line of this movie as well.

Jax making my Fridays! 💕 Also, "Dormammu, I've come to bargain" is such a fantastic scene. Most original "boss fight" in the entire MCU.

Just a Correction: the air force pilot with a metal suit that has a spinal injury that they mentioned before the car crash happen, was not the test pilot in iron man 2. That was actually Rhodey (war machine) they were talking about, remember what happened to him during Captain America Civil? ( the movie before this) Also, I really love that you also mention tony stark, Tony and Stephen are actually really good friends in the Comics, and I love that they are similar but also both different from each other. Both Started Out Self-Obsessed and both are blinded by their success. In the beginning, Tony just keep on making great inventions but didn't care about who and what his inventions/weapons were being used for (used for making wars and killing innocent people). Dr. Strange on the other hand, is indeed a really brilliant doctor but he cared about his success and career too much that he didn't have any respect and appreciation towards others, even the ones who cared for him (Christine for example) he even considers himself to be the best Neurosurgeon, the way he always corrects people whenever they call "Mr. Strange" instead of "Dr. Strange" shows great pride and doesn't have humility, therefore he places himself above and look down on others. I really love that both characters developed and now both use their skills both the ones they have and the ones they learn to protect the world. Tony uses technology while Stephen still is a doctor but is also a wizard and uses magic and the mystical arts when it comes to saving and protecting the world.

Dr. Strange is the reason why I fell in love with the MCU! He is the most versatile superhero! The Ancient One is the BEST teacher to learn from.

Great reaction as always Jax! You are a delight. And Lamby too! I always believed, and still do, that with the interconnectedness of stories, that the Air Force Colonel that Strange rejects as a patient was Rhodey after the battle of Germany in Civil War and Vision accidentally shooting him down. Since the majority of MCU movies are a straight-line timeline (excluding flashbacks), then this movie comes immediately after the previous. "I feel terrible for him." Jax says while smiling that bright smile. 😀 Mixed messaging? 😛 No, I do understand. The joy at seeing the depth of ideas and the statements they are making in a relatively simple scene is understandable, completely. It's so well done how Benedict Cumberbatch plays his role. He is such a good actor. And as someone who has lost a lot of use of my hands after a serious injury to my wrists, that loss is devastating, even for a non-surgeon. "That is so mean, that is so mean." and still with that blinding smile. 😀 But it was a lesson in humility and understanding, and one he desperately needed. All the people he said no to over the years? He got exactly what he deserved for his indifferent and almost cruel treatment of them. And, again, that depth of storytelling, the comeuppance to the arrogant by telling him exactly what he basically said to unknown others, is smile worthy because it is so well done. "I don't think (Doctor Strange) is going to be a very good team player." Um, have you seen Tony Stark? 😛 If that narcissistic jackwagon can work with a team, Strange can. 😀 Christine deserves a long vacation after that whole saving Stephen's life thing and the defib fight. Or maybe a long alcohol-fueled bender? The first would be best but the second, while a poor choice, would be understandable. Tilda is a great actress at parts like this (and The White Witch from Narnia, where I first saw her), where she can use her inherent inhumanity to make inhuman characters even more unreal and more real too. From what I remember from my youth (Baron) Mordo was pretty much a villain from the get go in the comics, essentially filling the role that Kaecilius was created for in this movie. In the comics I remember Mordo betrayed the Ancient One and was opposed (obviously) to Strange. Which was somewhat distracting when I watched this movie because I knew Mordo was going to be the real villain, and then he wasn't until the end.

You mentioned the great acting in this film, and to my mind it's really one of the greatest strengths of the MCU (and the Disney+ shows that are part of Phase 4). There's at least 48 Oscar nominated actors spread out over the various films and shows (without even counting little cameos that show up in some of the films). And I think there's a solid two dozen who have won Oscars for Best Actor/Actress. The producer of these films have pulled in amazing acting talent and it shows up onscreen.

Great reaction as always. Hope you and everyone else has a great weekend🤘🤘

4:59 Great catch, Jax. Hammer's test pilot that learned how to do The Twist by Chubby Checker the hard way. Give Lammy a hug for me!

34:34 What have we learned? You always save before every boss fight. Every gamer knows that.

The spinal injury in an experimental armor was referring to Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes who was injured by Vision during Captain America: Civil War. 😢 The Ancient One sent Strange on a "Magical Mystery Tour" through the cosmos and various dimensions including the Dark Dimension - home to the Dread Dormammu. 😮 The Ancient One knows about all of the Infinity Stones, she has been around a long time. So far in order... The Tesseract (Space Stone) - Blue The Ether (Reality Stone) - Red The Orb (Power Stone) - Purple The Eye of Agamotto (Time Stone) - Green. 😅 Dormammu desires Earth because it is the Nexus point of reality. If he controls Earth he controls the hub, which is the perfect jumping off point to anywhere in the multiverse. All other parallel universes radiate out from Earth-616 a.k.a. mainline continuity Marvel universe. 😊 The Bleeker Street address is the New York Sanctum which in the comics is Doctor Strange's main abode. It is located near Greenwich Village. 😊 The Celestials were the beings the Collector showed to the Guardians. The Celestials are ancient beings who seeded the Universe with life. You will learn more about them in The Eternals movie. 😊

Fun meta stuff: Both Robert Downey jr and Benedict Cumberbatch have played popular versions of Sherlock Holmes. Downey's sidekick Dr. Watson was Jude Law (whom will eventually appear in the MCU), and Cumberbatch's Watson is Martin Freeman (also in multiple MCU movies). I'm almost tempted to suggest you find time to view both series (one a film series, the other a BBC TV series with just 12 90-minute episodes). Both innovative takes on the iconic detective.

Fun fact! Dormamu was voiced by none other than Benedict Cumberbatch himself! Imagine talking to yourself/acting by yourself! Absolutely amazing!

Jax is really good at putting all the pieces together and figuring things out. Her enthusiasm is contagious. I also really like her sense of humor throughout the movie. It would be so fun to watch a movie with her, for reals.

Tony had a big ego. Until Tony met Loki. However, Stephen had the biggest ego.

Great reactions from Jax, to another marvelous MCU movie. In my opinion, this MCU version of Doctor Strange, is the best updated version of a Marvel Comics character.

Your insights are a joy. Thanks for sharing your reactions.

The guy who is referenced in the beginning is Rhody. So this movie takes place after civil war. You’ll see when the post credit scene takes place

Watching your Marvel vids every couple weeks has brightened up my life so much, you don’t even know. I watch them as I wake, with a nice hot coffee, I’m a coffee guy, and having your energy and presence in my home is really something I look forward to. I wish I could say it’ll last forever, But Tears are a coming’, there’s so much I want to discuss,but for the sake of “No Spoilers!!” Just remember this.. Form this point on, bring a box of tissues to every filming session. Trust me you’ll need them🧡🥲😭

35 year-old air force Colonel is most-likely Rhodey, since Rhodey holds the rank of Colonel and describes what happened to him at the end of Captain America: Civil War

Yeah doing a rewatch marathon before the next avengers or before avengers 4 would be super fun

Hey Jax. Great reaction vid. I like how you were able to tie things together upon your second watch. I know it's a lot to take in what happens in this movie, with all the crazy, trippy CGI visuals. It's great, but you actual picked up the little references that were sprinkled throughout the story. Enjoyed the video, and looks forward to seeing the rest of the films with you! You and Lamby have a great day.

i love waiting for your videos to come out every week, can you do Lilo and stitch if you haven’t already watched it?

I always figured the reference to the injured Air Force colonel was to Rhodey's injury in Civil War, but it's an interesting possibility that it might be the unnamed officer from Iron Man 2.

The airforce colonial referenced at the beginning with the spinal injury is War Machine, aka James Rhodes, after Vision accidentally shot him out of the sky during Civil War.

20:11 Oh, Thanos _wishes_ he was the biggest, baddest thing in the universe... 40:10 Doctor Strange working with the Avengers? Hmmm... Doctor Strange is my favorite MCU hero, mainly because I have a lot of similarities with him. I'm a voracious reader, driven to succeed, stand out from my peers, and always seek knowledge. But very much like him, I had to learn some tough lessons the hard way. Also, as someone who studies science, the possibilities of there being multiple layers to reality is always fascinating. Science - and our understanding of reality in general - is based on human perception. But there are limits to it, and it's entirely possible that what we're seeing isn't real. I know that time isn't linear, but I can't prove it. Maybe science will catch up someday. Anyway, the movie itself works fine as an origin story, but it gets overshadowed by the others. That's really a testament to the quality of Phase 3, and the momentum will just keep building from here. You'll see soon enough...

The back injury being referenced is Warmachine getting injured in Civil War. At the end you see him trying to learn to walk again.

Hearing Jax comment ON STARK and Strange being in the same room with each other, and who would be the most arrogant made me laugh. KEEP watching, Jax...

OMG your energy and excitement is awesome, I really love your reactions. I really feel like I'm watching this all over again, this one was especially good knowing you had seen this before. I am so happy you re-watched it.

Oh happy happy joy joy Lamby and Jax are back! For another reacts which is fantastic. What better way to go into the weekend. Hope you are well and having fun in the sun, looking great and bubbly as always. Be blessed and sending love ❤😊

Love your reactions! As for the injured Colonel it's more likely to be Rhodey after civil war as it's been a minute since IM2

I wonder how Jax missed the obvious Baker Street and Bleecker Street reference, also, the movie's Irene Adler with TV's Sherlock Holmes in this movie. Also, this movie and Iron Man 1 are basically the same plot if you think about it. The arrogant genius hero gets saved in the middle of the movie by his love interest fighting with villains with similar power to the hero.

Old-guy comic buff from the '60s here, hoping to add one more layer: Back in the transition days at Marvel from horror and sci-fi to superheroes in the 1960s, specific titles helped the transition, whether by keeping some heroes' story arcs alive if they didn't have their own title, or to extend existing popular heroes' exposure by doing half-stories. The big ones were Astonishing Tales, usually featuring a Hulk half-story, and a Thor or Tales of Asgard half-story --- Tales to Astonish (easter-egged in Ant-Man) featuring Hulk for half and Ant-Man/Giant-Man & the Wasp for half (probably the first inspiration for these heroes to be founding Avengers)--- and Tales of Suspense, featuring half Iron Man, half Cap (also part of his retcon from being alive while simultaneously frozen in the '40s). Occasionally a team-up might occur between the primary heroes of these binary books, creating a full-length duo story. Although never referenced, hinted at, or easter-egged, I think Tales of Suspense is one of the binding themes of the MCU --- the complex relationship between Steve and Tony. Tales to Astonish got its love letter in Ant-Man, easter-egged heavily with the storied couple of Hank and Janet Pym, who were the first and founding Avengers. Plus Yellowjacket, one of Pym's coolest incarnations. Moreover, it allowed Hank to 'shake out the bugs' as he transitioned from his initial identity as basically nerd-shrinking guy with ants to 60-foot superhero powerhouse --- without a lot of expensive re-tooling of a solo mag. Stan was very shrewd in that regard. Astonishing Tales --- well ---- this is where I bite my lip and wait for your next reaction. Journey Into Mystery is worth an honorable mention, as it was largely Thor and Asgard, and the popularity of Thor was such that he also got additional page time with Hulk in Astonishing Tales. Side note: Peter Parker is also in this club, getting his start in Amazing Fantasy, before his own title. With the way the old comic distribution worked --- weekly to the racks everywhere like newspapers and magazines ---- Stan had arranged these disparate heroes and titles into compelling interweaving story threads, albeit somewhat simply, even crudely, that you never went more than two weeks out of the month getting your fix of your favorites for twelve cents per title. What emerged was The Avengers, and a concept --- heroes had personal lives, solo hero lives, and team lives. The MCU, thank the producers, UNDERSTOOD that this made magic in the epic stories, because you were invested in each member on levels. The unifying theme of these stories were often detailed in the comics with little footnotes to where a reference might be expanded in another comic series --- all signed or initialed by Stan -- we got a cameo in every story, at least a whisper or nod, from The Man. Any woman who has as much unfeigned joy at spotting old man Stan in a cameo will never be short of marriage options. Keep up the fun as long as it's fun for you. We'll be fine.

Holy crap I’m excited for the upcoming movies!!

16:14 The Sorcerer Supreme in the comics was an old Asian man. There was a bit of controversy over Marvel “whitewashing” this role, and I’m torn between loyalty to the source material and geeking out over *Tilda Swinton* . 26:40 No, the one in that scene was the purple Power stone. Although all of the stones are dangerous, I think the Power stone is the deadliest to simply touch. The whole reason Peter Quill had to grab the stone when Rocket blew it out of Ronan’s hammer-thing is that even letting it touch the ground would’ve started a chain reaction that would’ve destroyed Xandar.

The crazy thing is that they actually came up with the idea of buildings creating patterns, and then someone had to designed it all to merge with the actors. It must have been a mind bending experience to write, produce and direct this film.

The Air Force Colonel in the beginning , is James Rhodes. (Rhodey) AKA War Machine. Remember he got shot out of the air in civil war??

The Air-Force colonel with the spine injury they were talking about was Rhodey after Vision missed his laser and shot Rhodes out of the sky

Tony Stark and Doctor Strange are the perfect balance, science and sorcery.

Can’t wait for you reacting to “No Way Home”, “Multiverse Of Madness”, and would love to see you react to the Venom & Godzilla/Kong films

You know, I haven’t watched this in a long time, I forgot about most of it. Time to watch again. And yes, LOTS of this comes into play in other parts of the MCU.

That really cool round window at Dr. Strange's place looks EXACTLY like it did in the comics.

Infinity Stones: Space is Blue, Time is Green, Reality is Red, Power is Purple, Soul is Orange & Mind is Yellow.

Fun fact, when he is in the car asking for fun cases and the guy says that there is an air force colonel with a spine fracture, the guy that he´s talking about is Rhodey

I just love your thought process as you go through these scenes. Plus your laugh is absolutely intoxicating! Makes me laugh too. 😂

The sheer quality of this channel i cant even be mad at how long videos take to come out ! 😩🔥🐑

5:00 it’s actually Rhodie from Civil War.

With the appearance of Thor in the post credits (which occurs in the middle of Thor: Ragnarok), this movie can be firmly placed post-Civil War. That makes the injured Air Force Colonel (spinal injury, "experimental" armor) Rhoadie.

It's awesome to see you work your way through the universe timeline and piece together the puzzle. You're definitely the best to watch because of your enthusiasm as well.

5:06 scene.. The spine injury news was about the civil war .. War machine.. Rhody ..James Rhodes fell down and broke his spine remember? :)) That was that news..

You pick up on and recall so many of the interconnected threads of the various MCU movies. Some of the guesses that you have made while watching the movies have been spot on and others not so much - at least not proven so far, but it is really joyful watching along with you. :)

Jax, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you are a brilliant light in the KZfaq/MCU universe. Don't ever stop being you!! 😊❤🐑

Hulk would get frustrated being in the Mirror Dimension. That would make him angrier. He needs to calm down to transform back to Banner.

Loved this reaction! I love how many little details you pick up on in these movies! Love how much the universe expands with these movies. Ant Man, Guardians, and Doctor Strange did such a great job of expanding the scope of the MCU.

Your MCU reactions have been a lot of fun to rewatch the movies along with. The next few entries will be truly magical for you. You’ll laugh, be inspired, you’ll cry, you’ll be amazed; you’ll be thrilled… but you’ll be happy you were there for the entire ride. And we’ll be happy to have been able to join you.

These videos are like having a movie buddy to watch stuff with it’s so nice.

❤ I wish we could give hearts instead of thumbs up because I so love your reactions. Everything from your eyes, smile, and soothing voice, it all puts me so at ease. My new favorite channel!

Your reactions are so much fun, and you're into a great run of movies in the MCU. I can't wait...

4:49 best reaction to an Easter egg I’ve seen.

10:14 That is very similar to how an astral body looks during an out-of-body projection, it looks more like a soapy water bubble though and it feels AMAZING!

The moment I've looked forward to the most beside Winter Soldier. Cheers and looking great with the shirt Jax!

The guy who had his back broken was Roadie
