The classic origins of Thor, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange all revolved around addressing arrogance as a character flaw

"Nobody can be more powerful than this" 😂😂 You have NO idea

if you revisit it, in Cap'Am 2, Stephen Strange is listed as a target for the carriers to purge among "dangerous people"

Benedict Cumberbatch, which plays the lead role of Dr Strange is from the UK and is amazing in the Sherlock series... which, given your love for analyzing things would make for a really good reaction series. Just a thought

On the Loki question.Dr.Strange was still a surgeon,Ancient one deemed the Avengers will do the job without help.

There is an actual story explanation why these sorcerers have never shown up before with all the other catastrophes. The Time Stone allowed the Ancient One to see into the future to see that she did not need to meaningfully intervene, that each of these events would work out fine. (A later movie will show that she was taking part discretely here and there but was able to hang back for the most part and let our heroes save the day). Unfortunately now she has died in this movie, and so from this point, sorcerers will start showing up more.

Dr. Strange is the "END ALL" in the 60s & 70s comics. They nerf'd him BIG time for the movies. They had to or else there is no point in the movies because Dr. Strange and Wanda can literally write their own destiny! Defenders handle NYC threats, Avengers handle world level stuff and Dr. Strange, the sorcerer supreme!!! ..... he deals with the multiversal/for all time/everything everywhere on red alert, we don't know what we don't know level stuff.

love that u bring up stargate in almost every reaction... indeed

In comics there is no such thing as "nothing more powerful than this"

He rules over a dimension where time does not exist, and if we're pulled into it...

This movie has some of my favorite banter of all time 😁 Kaecilius: Mister... Strange: Doctor. Kaecilius: Mr. Doctor? Strange: Its Strange Kaecilius: Maybe .. but who am I to judge

Bigger fish to fry. That’s essentially why.

"No one can be more powerful" Few movies later... "I am inevitable"

Where Thor introduced magic to a degree, Doctor Strange dives deeper into the world of magic and the occult within the MCU. Also when he gets the call in his car and the medical cases are being shown to him, one of them is Rhodey's spinal injury.

Welcome to Marvel on Acid. May as well throw logic out the window with this one.

Like she said: the Avengers protect the earth from physical danger and the sorcerers protect it from spiritual threats. Also as far as Antman goes remember Pym explains to Scott what will happen if he goes too small. And it ain't good.

something not really mentioned in the movie is that Strange spends YEARS (potentially many years) going through the time loop with dormammu, further practicing his magic and ultimately making himself a master

I wish you had shown the scene where Doctor Strange says, "You should have taken the whole book, because the warnings ... the warnings come AFTER the spells." And this causes Wong to FINALLY laugh.

Dormomu is neither good or evil he's a deity like galactus he is just what he is. In the words of loki an ant has no quarrel with a boot

It IS strange... but it's important.

Earth in marvel is not just 1 earth, the comic marvel earth is earth 616, but the mcu is a hybred of 616 and the ultimate universe, this is why samuel l jackson plays nick fury, in earth 616 nick fury is David haslehof but in the ultimate universe samuel l jackson has been playing nick fury a full decade before iron man was made

Doctor Strange, Hulk, and the Silver Surfer were always my favorite superheroes of the marvel universe. Thanks for reviewing this! The MCU really did Doctor Strange right.

I love Doctor Strange!

The thing about eternal life people never talk about is retirement, guy. "I couldn't stand losing all my friends"? I couldn't stand being being 500 goddamn years old and still having to get up for work in the morning.

23:40, well, when you look at it through the lens of alien invasions and Nordic space gods, a ghost wizard- ex boyfriend should be relatively easy to accept. y'know.....contextually 🤷‍♂

Who would win in a fight between teal and orange?

"Civil War" is one of the best action-y comic book movies, has great hero involvement, and has a fantastically-deep story that directly effects the Avengers as a team and the future of the MCU. "Dr. Strange" on the other hand is subdued and has less action comparatively, but it's got a great story, great pace, great effects, an amazing character arch, MAGIC FFS, and it also carries such a weight on the Marvel Universe and it's future as well. Great movie review!

Not even five minutes into the film, and Boyd pontificates on The Mirror Dimension, which is simply an etheric overlay separate from physical reality! 😉 P.S. Boyd: "There's nothing more powerful than Doctor Strange!' Everyone: "Hold my beer." 😁🍿

I liked it for various reasons. I knew what the X-Men were as a kid and Strange was featured in that. I think he was inspired by Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes which was one of my favorite novels as a child. I love the character idea at any rate of an egotist humbled by becoming hobbled. I also love the huge concepts in it and I thought they did well here fleshing them out. Then add the cast who are great imo. The questions you posed will be answered later and then you'll understand why they weren't addressed now (would give away later plot points if that was done).

The concept between good and evil in Marvel does get blurred often, you will see it clearly when you get to know the greatest hero in their universe, Thanos.

Only very loosely connected to this film but I think you would really enjoy The three body problem!

I remember when the trailer for the movie came out, so many people were mad the Ancient One didn't look like in the comics. In comics she was a he and a steretypical super old asian guy. Obviously they did away with that to make it more modern. And I think Tilda did an amazing job as the Ancient One. Heck the whole cast is amazing. Strange is pretty much tied near the top of my fav MCU heroes. Though comedy wise AntMan and the Guardians are at the top.

really enjoying the journey. thanks! your questions will have answers. hang in there.

The ancient one is complicated i can explain but i ain't got time for that

He's a British actor doing an American accent

0:20 comment he knows of Shao Lin temple monks.-Ernie Moore Jr.

To answer your question about where were they during the big events in the MCU. You will find its a common theme sometimes. Best answer is its just for writing purposes. Sometimes they will answer where someone was, other times they won't. As for this movie, its a bit complicated. There will be a mention of where he was during the battle of NY in a later movie. General we are told though this movies takes place after Winter Soldier, but before the Thor Ragnorak movie. Though during Winter Soldier you do see Stranges name on a list that Hyrda was after. But this was mainly just to tease Strange would be a upcoming hero. It's kinda confusing as they try to keep the MCU movies in a certain order but there are times when somethings don't add up right. Just best to think of the timeline of the movies as a "loose" order of one after another. But also remember whatever year a movie came out, so this in 2016, it means the MCU time was always about a year ahead. Thus this movie more or less was actually taking place in 2017. Again, its confusing. lol

Christeen jump scare in the broom cupboard was real as she didn't expect the broom and bucket to fall over when filming.

Officially, Strange is too busy to deal with "ordinary" villains. In practice, Strange costs so much in CGI, Marvel had to calm down with him.

Love you being wrong. It’s somehow why you are my favorite. Keep thinking you know everything… it’s the best

The original sorcerer Supreme was augamoto, the medalist the sorcorer Supreme wears is the eye of augamoto, in the story line of 1,000,000 B.C. when Odin first came to midgard he was already hear and ancient at that time, but there must always be a sorcerer Supreme and now it's Dr. Stranges time

There is *ALWAYS* someone more powerful. Iron Man came out in 2008 and Marvel has been pumping out movies, TV, and streaming shows non-stop. You are going to ask, "Where were these people?" a lot.

12:31 comment react. Wow that communicated well..12:45 out of his element or comfort zone.-Ernie Moore Jr.

ITS THE MIRROR DIMENSION

Brooooo all those questions at thr beginning cracked me up man!! Love it 😂😂

Pre-Covid the MCU things would balance themselves out in the end even OP characters, post-covid MCU is another story completely.

Please do all the series when you get to them!! Especially Loki and moonknight

Fantastic reaction! No spoilers but don't worry, your ("Where were they?") question will be answered. Get ready, you're so close.

14:25 IRON MAN!

Totally agree with the power ranking with Ant-Man and Strange, but Scarlett Witch is up there with power too, just wait! 😅

Lboyd, you said quarks and things. Epic callback.

You need to watch the Loki series, it is easily the greatest thing the MCU has ever made. The character growth of Loki is phenomenal.

“Where were the sorcerers when the other movies were happening?” In the future you man get some of the answers you seek but the explanation given here is simply they defend against mystical threats. But you maybe get some backstory here and there with this side of the MCU

If you liked the mind bending reality stuff in this, you should check out Inception and Tenet. You'll love it! You will either watch them and be super confused or really loving it. Unless you watched them already. Can't remember.

11:44 comment..Mr.'s reading that! right.-Ernie Moore Jr.

All the other final conflicts in the mcu are epic battles. Dr. Strange made domormu rage quit!

Wanda is OP AF lol

Our earth they only police magical threats.

LOVE the videos Brotha! Is there any way to make the video just a TAD bit more visible. Straining a bit to see the source you’re watching but other than that.. great man!

3:40 "This is the strongest", lol, Just wait till you learn what Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. The Scarlet Witch can really do once she learns her powers better. Specially if you look into the comics themselves. If I remember right she was considered one of the most powerful being for a time in the comics up there with The One Above All. And The One Above All is basically the Christian god in terms of power but they never really do much except watch shit happen. But they can be killed and has been before in the comics.

I think you missed one more Stinger scene at the end.

All your questions will be answered. PERIOD.

Marvel has many hero teams the avengers are the flag ship group, Dr. Strange is kinda a wild card he isn't part of the avengers but works with them all the time the team has most associated with is the defenders, not the Netflix group but yes same team, the original line up was, Dr.strange,hulk, silver surfer, and major the submariener, talk about the power house team.

They have restrictions, you will see it isnt too much :-)

Dr Strange is old, he first appeared in 1963.

Yessir

Embrace the phrase, "Marvel's LSD era."

I find it interesting people think this is crazy yet out of the marvel universe this movie is probably the most realistic when it come to abilities. Maybe not at some of this level but astral projection and travel are all real abilities available if you study and practice enough.

In the comics, Dr. Strange is pretty broken and for a long while he was easily the strongest of the marvel heroes. Each era of the comics struggles with how to handle him, how strong he should be, all because he is so broken.

It is a lot of power but then we dont know if Thor or Hulk can be killed. As you said Vision and Wanda are also very powerful. Is Dr. Strange just a mortal with a cool toy that can be caught off guard while sleeping? Can he predict and avoid his own demise?

You getting to the meat and potatoes now

Simple reason why you haven't seen Dr Strange yet. It has not be his time for the story. Not every story in a universe has to have all available characters. What the sorcerers deal with other issues and since they were not needed for any story prior you just dont know it yet. Good call back to why what was happening did not effect the people and they didnt notice. Still have to look past the fact the ancient one still would have appeared out of a sparkly circle seemingly from nowhere and surly would have turned some heads.

Nope, its our earth. And they live on it, they just have powers. Just like other powered individuals. But theirs are more mind bending.

After we finish the MCU any chance we get somr DCAU content? I think you would really enjoy justice league:Doom.

I have always been partial to Dr Strange. MC U just kept getting better from this point.

Have you seeen In Time, Timeline, or The Time Machine? If not, add them for consideration.

Thor and Hulk have been Nerfed to death in the MCU

YOU think it's spectacular, I saw this in theater on 2 grams of mushrooms...

Awesome reaction of my favorite Marvel movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

29:37 comment 29:40 comment react 29:44.-Ernie Moore Jr.

Is a movie, not a riddle or a puzzle that you can solve in the first 15 minutes. Just relax, let the story unfold, enjoy the acting... For example that scene where Strange raging in frustration is so contemptible with Christine: they were magnificent! If you stop every 30 seconds to suppose what will be next, then where's the good part in watching a movie? You don't have to know previously all the Marcel characters, there's a lot a people thinking that the Avenger were and are what they saw in the MCU. Others are really funny saying things like "a She-Hulk and a woman so powerful like Captain Marvel only can be woke propaganda"... Oh man, I love that laughs so much! Doctor Steven Strange made his debut in 1963 in Marvel Comics. Trivia: Some scenes from Doctor Strange's comics are in Pink Floyd’s second album 'A Saucerful of Secrets' (1968). Once, David Gilmour invited Benedict Cumberbatch to sing "Comfortably Numb" live on stage.

Ant man shrinks down to the quantum realm sup attomic particles time flows different

hes british

Team america world police for July 4 please

They were around during Loki's invasion.....but that's spoiler territory. Just watch the movies and all will be explained.

All of your questions will be answered soon lol

Has he done a reaction to Inception?

18:55 comment...I get you, however... eh hemm,, there's three! sides to a cion... :-> .-Ernie Moore Jr.

Strong or powerful? Doctor Strange is an Omega level, so top tier. However, Wanda Maximoff is way more powerful believe it or not. And what will blow your mind even more is there is someone even stronger then both of the combined, and said character is from the X-Men. General ranks of the top 10 most powerful in the MCU are as follows, I won't list the ones you haven't seen yet though: 10 Ant Man 9 ??? (you haven't seen yet) 8 also ??? 7 Vision 6 Iron Man 5 Strange 4 Hulk 3 Thor 2 ??? 1 Wanda

yeah dr strange is one of the strongest characters in marvel idk who could beat him really maybe scarlett witch

If they really did Moon Knight well, you'd really see something amazing. But unfortunately, it has been neutered and Disneyfied for mass consumption.

You have absolutely named the most powerful Avenger already and I can't wait for you to find out who it is! LOL Good Luck! Great reaction!

Don't spend a half hour trying to figure out the movie in the first 30 seconds. I guarantee you if you watch another 5 minutes you'll actually have the answers to 90% of the stuff you're asking

here's an idea, stop thinking and enjoy the movie lol @4:30 and no Dr. Strange is not the strongest, not even close. Wanda is the strongest in the MCU currently. Strange/Vision would be 2nd, Thor would be 3rd, Hulk would be 4th. Then i would say it's a 3-way tie between Spider-Man/Black Panther/Ant-Man actually. Cumberbatch is from the UK.

The Marvel movie version of Strange is weaker than the comic one.... but still "strong"

It struck me during your commentary that if you could live forever, there would be no ‘eventually’ 😂😂

In all fairness, Kathmandu has the worst air quality in the world.

"Eternal Life" is just gonna further contribute to overpopulation.

Tat Tvam Asi

If he didn't talk so much, reaction would be like 7 minutes long. lol.
