Doctor Strange MOVIE REVIEW!! (SPOILERS) Marvel 2016

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

That thing you thought was a Sherlock reference wasn't a Sherlock reference. 177a Bleecker Street is the actual address of the Sanctum Sanctorum from the comics.

[@KatieT97]

GlamdringandOrcrist furthermore it's not even a poke at the original Holmes stories, it's the address of an apartment where Steve Ditco actually lived for a time

[@el7114.]

It’s just ‘a coincidence’, but somehow the same actor plays both characters so....

[@Azraeel11]

it was actually an address of Steve Ditko, creator of Doctor strange and Co-creator of Spider Man.

[@HS-mn6jc]

"Inception was like, 'Here's an idea', and then Doctor Strange," well, it *perfected it.*

[@BlindWave]

Spoiler talk starts at 6:16 in the video. Sorry, forgot to add that into the video :)

[@battlegames45]

Blind Wave the guy on the suit of armor is from Iron man 2 , remember the court scenre with stark and hammer, and stark shows that footage of the suit of armor from Hammer snapping around

[@LordRavic]

If you remember, it was mentioned that the armor was a 'PROTOTYPE'...

"It's Strange." "Maybe. Who am I to judge?" That's the actual line, Melanie. Just FYI

[@ColtonG826]

T- Tesseract = Space Stone (currently on Asgard). Color = Blue H- ??? = Soul Stone (unknown location). Color = Orange A- Aether = Reality Stone (In the Collector's collection). Color = Red N- Necklace (Eye of Agamatto) = Time Stone (with Doctor Strange). Color = Green O- Orb = Power Stone (with the Nova corps). Color = Purple S- Scepter = Mind Stone (currently in Vision's head). Color = Yellow

[@diego3]

Colton G PROBALBY SPOILER ALERT: There's a rumor that is (H) of Heimdall... That the stone is in his chest or his eyes and that's how he is able to see every planet of the galaxy And ANOTHER POSSIBLE SPOILER: Thanos thakes his eyes (the gem) and that's why he is blind in Thor's vision in Age of Ultron

[@biocapsule7311]

I wonder would the taking of Power Stone meant the destruction of Xandar, leading to a Nova movie in phase 4... with an escape of the Xandarian Worldmind and Nova Force.

[@KarlWilliamKraft]

Heimdall having the Soul Stone in his body makes no sense, because like they said in Thor 2: "It's not wise to keep two infinity stones close." I don't think Odin would risk having the space stone and the soul stone together and suddenly go "well, the reality stone has to go." The soul stone will probably be in Hel with Hella or something like that.

[@justadudetv4207]

Fodd in the mid credit scene of thor the dark world the aether was identified as an infinity stone qoute:"It is unwise to keep two infinity stones so close together

[@ColtonG826]

Fodd How is the Eye of Agamotto not a necklace? It is worn around the neck, therefore, it is a necklace. And all the other one's have been called by name in the movies (Tesseract, Aether, Orb, and Scepter). So, why exactly does the Thanos theory not make sense? Other than you being butthurt that the Eye of Agamotto is a necklace.

[@helenahamdan627]

Wow. Here in 2018, Aaron mentioned in this video about Stan Lee, "Say he dies at like, 95..." Rip Stan Lee

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

And if you guys want confirmation on the timeline of this film, the entirety of the film occurs in between Civil War & Thor Ragnarok, which would've been a year in between. Strange learns magic extremely fast, and doubles that speed of learning by using astral projection to study as well. So the timeline of the film is most likely around 6-10 months. The colonel was Rhodey, there was no one else it could be, and they wouldn't have wasted the reference on the character from Iron Man 2 that got screwed in that Hammer accident. Also the fact that Avengers Tower is there means that this film would've at least have occurred during Winter Soldier.

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

Forgot to mention that his photographic memory would've helped with the learning process as well

[@Owen02_]

GlamdringandOrcrist how did it occur in the middle of civil war and Thor raganorock and winter soldier

[@Sean-Correa-Production]

GlamdringandOrcrist Robbie Reyes or johnny blaze "these timelines are so confusing". Lol

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

The reason I mentioned Winter Soldier was to point out that Avengers Tower had been built during that film. So I was just saying that the earliest that Doctor Strange could've occurred was around that time. My actual guess is that it occurred between the events of Civil War and Thor Ragnarok.

[@Owen02_]

oh right but avengers tower was still there when civil war happened just they never showed it

[@vishalvenkat6]

guys I think that the Thor end credits scene is an actual scene from Thor: Ragnarok. The reason why, is remember when there was a Civil War teaser at the end of Ant-Man? They could be doing the same thing.

[@Guhsteh]

Yeah, it's definitely from Ragnarok.

[@saruboss18]

u guys did not see it in 3D???? 3D was awesome, one of the best uses of 3D since gravity and avatar.

[@ThePonderer]

This is one of my favorite MCU films easy. I was not expecting to come out of this debating in my head whether it was better than civil war, but damn this one effected me big time.

[@repoedokami941]

Same i can't wait for doctor strange 2

[@TheMartyrdoom]

that Sherlock reference your talking about isnt a Sherlock reference, thsts actually the address of the New York Sanctum, its a real address you can visit, Sherlock's address is 221B Baker Street and Dr Strange's address is 177A Bleecker Street both are real address's

[@darionbelt289]

I've watched a couple of reviews already and no one has brought up the STAFF OF THE FREAKING LIVING TRIBUNAL!!!!! One of my personal favorite scenes in the whole movie.

[@Do0msday]

The name drop of the Living Tribunal was epic and gives me hope for the Infinity War. I know they most likely won't be able to have many characters involved (i.e. Wolverine, Galactus, Silver Surfer, etc) but...this still gives me hope that they'll bring out some of the REAL supreme beings to showcase just how absolutely all-powerful the Infinity Gauntlet really is. And also...Wong had a Wand of Watoomb

[@marshallvalentino2572]

wait, at what part they refered the living tribunal?

[@Do0msday]

AndreNY When Mordo was talking about relics that channel power that they can't...he referred to his staff as "The Staff of the Living Tribunal". So...that makes me believe that the Living Tribunal will be part of the Infinity War. I wish they could bring in Galactus, Chaos, Order, Eternity, Love/Hate, etc...but the Living Tribunal...that is MAJOR.

[@marshallvalentino2572]

Do0msday ah really, I must have missed that part. The theater in my town isn't that good :/

[@novaprime4733]

Did love the reference to the Living Tribunal. There was also the Staff of One, i.e Nico Minoru's staff from the runaways comic. In the scene where Wong is preparing for the attack on the Hong Kong sanctum, Wong grabs the Wand of Watoomb and an asian woman is behind him holding the Staff of One. Body Length staff with a Ball and a circular hoop at the top. At a guess that could be Nicos mother. All awesome references to a wider universe, in quite simply a breathtaking film.

[@xenialafleur]

The book that Stan Lee is reading is The Doors of Perception (1954) by Aldous Huxley.

[@craigt.8331]

The woman struck by lightning with an implant in her could be a reference to Captain Marvel.

[@teipeu9033]

Do you know what happens to a woman with an implant who’s struck by lightning?

[@vinaykrishnan4729]

I don't know about her but the air force colonel was rhodey as he was paralyzed in civil war

[@JesstheFlamingMess]

Calvin: (Stan Lee) created all of this. Jack Kirby: *rolls in his grave*

[@luihmis]

the aether was not on earth, Jane Foster found it after she crossed to another world/dimension, i think it originally was very deep in asgard or something

[@colinruiz1072]

30:50 damn you guys predicted endgame

[@Do0msday]

@Eric ... trust me when I say this. IMAX 3D is the best way to see this. It was absolutely fantastic and added SO much depth. The scene when he first moves through different dimensions was like having an acid trip in the theater. It was REALLY good. It doesn't so much have things pop out, but more 3D that adds depth. Like when you see the M.C. Esher like city folding over like Inception ... the cars look like they are driving off the edge and it was brilliant. I usually see movies in 3D because sometimes they're a bit of fun, but many are a gimmick. This was definitely better than many and one of the best 3D movies I've seen.

[@Guhsteh]

I absolutely loathe 3D but it was amazing in this film.

[@Jzombi301]

@@Guhsteh why? it makes some scenes so much better

[@coreyfurtado5986]

The Tesseract is the Space Gem, the Aether is the Reality Gem, the one in Guardians is the Power Gem, Loki's Sceptre/Vision's stone is the Mind Gem, the Eye of Agamotto is the Time Gem, and the unknown remaining one is the Soul Gem

[@dygz]

In the comics, Vision always had Adam Warlock's Mind Gem. I think the Eye of Aggamoto being the Time Gem is new with this movie.

[@jidhindharanm.p9351]

Adam warlock had soul stone in his forehead

[@jakeeee]

It wasn't set near Iron Man 2. In the movie it had a close up shot of an award Strange got for his surgery and it was dated in the year 2016. And when the guy called him telling him cases he could work one case was a spinal injury for a man using experimental armour which totally links into what happened to Rhodey in Civil War. He also mentioned another case where a woman was struck by lightening with a serious injury complicated by an electronic implant, that COULD be hinting at Captain Marvel

[@TheHulksternator]

The J Man sadly the director of the film said that that was not a refrence to Rhodey

[@jakeeee]

Ok. Fair enough. But in the timeline. Its set in 2016. The award said it is. And also about the lightening woman. The director smiled and neither confirmed nor denied that it was a hint at Captain Marvel. Judging from the smile. It probably was xD

[@TheHulksternator]

Yes he also said the movie is not set in the past and that there is no big time gap

[@patrickstanton9935]

It wasn't referring to Rhodes. They said it was a Marine Colonel with a back injury. Rhodes is in the Air Force

[@jakeeee]

Alright yeah. I've been corrected already thank you

[@Miieh12]

19:39 Aaron is more likely to be right. The director said the reference wasn't about Rhodes.

[@battlelineshq1799]

funny how the ancient one pop falls off the table kind of represents what happens to her in the movie

[@hardpunkkore9235]

You guys are talking about the timeline and how this film fits together with the rest of the MCU. Strange's car accident happens around the time of Iron Man 2. The Coronal who injuries his back is that man in the Hammer Tech knock off suit. Strange then has 7(?) surgeries on his hands to try to fix them. I would have to attempt a guess that the recovery time and physical therapy after each surgery would be at least 6 to 9 months, right? Letting him have around 2 surgeries per year. So time passing from the car accident until he embarks to Kamar-Taj to be at least 4 to 5 years spending just about his entire wealth in the process. Then his training sequence is at least a year, because the Ancient One says "how did you become a surgeon?" to which Strange replies "study and practice, years of it." I would have a hard time believing he would be able to pick all this stuff up and be able to defend the NY Sanctum by himself in less time than that. If IM2 was indeed in 2010, the 4-5 years of surgeries and 1 year of training would put the confrontation of Stange and Kaecilius at the NY Sanctum and onward happening post Civil War. My only problem would be, the opening scene when Kaecilius comes to steal the pages from the book. Is that scene chronological? My guess would be no. Kaecilius did not have those pages for 5 to 6 years and did nothing with them. As I see it, that opening scene would have happened maybe about 6 months before Stange came to Kamar-Taj. Then comes the mid credit scene with Thor. I believe that particular scene is lifted right out of Thor Ragnarok, just like the mid credit scene from Ant-Man was taken from Captain America Civil War.

[@teipeu9033]

HardPunkKore I think the original scene is just setting up what the maguffin of the movie will be.

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

Last comment from me if you want to know what the Infinity Stones in the MCU are right now and where they are. Tesseract (Cosmic Cube) - The Space Stone - Blue - In Odin's Treasure Room on Asgard Aether - The Reality Stone - Red - With the Collector on Knowhere The Orb - The Power Stone - Purple - In that vault on Xandar in the possession of the Nova Corps Scepter Jewel - The Mind Stone - Yellow - In Vision's Head The Eye Of Agamotto - The Time Stone - Green - At Kamartajj This leads me to believe that the last Infinity Stone, which will be the orange Soul Stone, will be with Adam Warlock and will be introduced in Infinity War Part 1 (even though that film's official name is now just Infinity War), since there won't be any Infinity Stones in Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

Just as a side note, most of these Infinity Stones for the MCU are not what the actual Infinity Stones from the comics are. None of them are the actual color that they are from the comics and none of them have ever been tied to other relics like they are in the MCU.

[@Phanthief95]

GlamdringandOrcrist Actually, there is speculation that the Soul Stone is with Heimdall, since it would explain how he's able to see everyone in the universe.

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

Felix De La Cruz He's been able to do that in the comics and in Norse mythology without the Soul Stone, so having it with him would be redundant. Plus there was a pretty big Easter Egg in Guardians for Adam Warlock and Adam Warlock is an EXTREMELY important character in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline

[@Phanthief95]

GlamdringandOrcrist Except in both Thor movies & Age of Ultron, it was never explained how he was able to see everyone, just that it's something passed down from gatekeeper to gatekeeper. As well, his eyes are orange like the stone, so that's how the speculation came to be.

[@GlamdringandOrcrist]

I'm not saying it's a bad theory, but I don't think it's a good idea. The Stone has never been the source of his power, its something he has as the gatekeeper of Asgard. Every gatekeeper has had that skill to see everything. Also, I don't think they would associate three Infinity Stones with Asgard. Using the Soul Stone as a way to introduce Adam Warlock, who traditionally is the character most associated with the Stone considering that he has the Stone implanted in his head before, is a way better thing to do from a writing standpoint

[@Papa-yv1bv]

+Blind Wave The phone call was about a col. from iron man 2 as the guy said he twisted his spinal veterbrae in an experimental armour as Justin Hammer was trying to create an iron man suit so the beginning of Doc Strange is from the timeline of the second iron man movie and when the Avengers tower come into view is from Avengers Age of Ultron and with notion why the ancient one didn't help out during Avengers and Age of Ultron I'm guessing as they said they deal with mystical and spiritual stuff

[@emma0634]

11:40 "Spoilers!" LOL

[@jaredschuster3010]

The fact that the villain did not get much development for me was both good and bad. It could have been better with more development of Casillius(how ever its spelled). However I liked that this was a double origin story. None of the other solo films developed the villain along side the hero for the next film. Now with Dr Strange 2 we already have much of the arc for the villain completed giving more time for just an awesome all around movie.

[@ghostface0927]

tesseract: space stone vision head: mind stone aether: reality stone eye of aggamoto: time stone gotg: power stone where missing the soul stone

[@LotRGurla64]

The book Stan Leen was reading was The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley :)

[@hkmagic532]

Just rewatched this and you guys almost killed me when you brought up stan lee and his age, almost cried i swear

[@DrMrMarco]

This movie takes place after civil war. In winter soldier, during the part where the ships are locking onto their targets, Steven Strange shows up as one of the targets. The Rhody Easter egg is post civil war and right before ragnarok

[@CaptainPikeachu]

doctor strange is set post civil war, at the very least post Avengers because it's Avengers tower, the completed towe, not the half destroyed one, and also, technically Avengers tower still exist, just because they moved to the compound doesn't mean they tore the tower down, I mean that's alot of work, the Avengers have been known to have multiple home bases, so the tower would still be there in New York - and also, the post credit scene with Thor indicates it has to be post civil war as that scene is the link to Ragnarok

[@dharvin007]

BetaArtemis there's a reference to War Machine's injury in CA:CW just before Strange's car accident.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Douglas Harvin the entertainment weekly panel with director Scott Derrickson already confirmed that wasn't Rhodey though - if anything, the reference that many missed is the one after, the young girl struck by lighting with implant in her head, that was more or less implied by the director to be Carol Danvers

[@Vamparina413]

Actually that was not really a Sherlock's reference coz 177A Bleecker Street is Doctor Strange's real address in the comics which is located in Greenwich Village which kinda does exist. the Tesseract is the Space Stone, Loki's Scepter is the Mind Stone, the Aether is the Reality Stone, the Orb in Guardians is the Power Stone, the Eye of Agamotto is the Time Stone which leaves the Soul Stone but currently only two is on Earth one with Vision and the other is with Doctor Strange. Tesseract is in Asgard, the Aether is with the Collector and the Power Orb is with the Nova Corps

[@reginaldkelly4269]

+Blind Wave the Tessaract is the space gem was on earth now with Asgard. The Aether aka the Reality gem was in Asgard now with the Collector. The Orb aka Power gem was on an alien planet now with Nova. Loki sceptre had the Mind gem that he actually got from Thanos then went to Shield to Hydra to Avengers to Ultron now with Vision. The Eye of Agamatto is the Time gem. The last one not yet introduced is the Soul gem.

[@Darkpoet1792]

The Aether wasn't on earth. It was on another realm but because of the Convergence Jane got pulled into that dimension. The Tesseract was on Earth, Loki's Scepter had The Mind Gem in it and was not on Earth until Loki got here. So far there has only been 2 on earth, The Aether and The Time Gem. So we have The Orb (Power Gem) located on Xandar with the Nova Corp, The Eye of Agamotto (Time Gem) located around Doctor Strange's neck, The Aether (Reality Gem) located in the Collector's Museum on Knowhere , The Tesseract (Space Gem) located in Odin's vault on Asgard, The Scepter (Mind Gem), located in Visions forehead, and the Soul Gem has yet to appear. The T.H.A.N.O.S. Theory is pretty much coming true but we're missing the H so most people are thinking it is Heimdall that has it because he can see all the souls in the 9 realms but that's not how the Soul Gem works. The Soul Gem can affect others souls and allow you to control them. However the most likely one, which I seen on an article yesterday, is that the H stands for Hela because Hela being the Goddess of the spirits and souls of the undead can manipulate souls. Great review as always and I can't wait for you two to discuss the AoS tie-ins.

[@melo13melo]

I saw it in imax 3D it was so good. It's completely worth it to see it that way

[@hooddoc]

there's an empty book space in the library. that's probably where the Darkhold was.

[@jakobnagel2672]

I was hearing Hugh Laurie when Cumberbatch spoke.

[@Phanthief95]

20:04 No, Doctor Strange is set possibly a little while after Civil War, since they mentioned Rhodey & also because Strange is a fast learner of the mystical arts due to his photographic memory & spending time studying magic in the Astral Dimension while he was sleeping, so he studied all day & night.

[@lichcoin6144]

Felix De La Cruz Huh. They mentioned him? I totally missed that. Could you point out the reference, please?

[@Phanthief95]

Nyctohylophiliac It would make more sense if it was Rhodey. Doctor Strange would probably be set either around the end of Civil War or a few days later, since Strange was able to master his powers quickly due to his photographic memory.

[@RandomMantheawsome]

Dr. Strange takes place after Civil War. Avengers Tower was never taken down, it's just not the main HQ of the Avengers any more.

[@Darkpoet1792]

Benedict Cumberbatch did the motion capture for Dormammu but he didn't provide the voice another actor did that.

[@huamulan9279]

[@debschwer2236]

Really surprised that no one recognized Benjamin Bratt as the guy play basketball

[@irhamusman1]

the staff morro used belonged to the "living tribunal", something higher than thanos+gauntlet so I hope Dr Strange encounters it at movie #3

Did anyone catch that distracted driving warning right before the after credit scene?

[@resonanttotality8322]

You guys didn't listen to a thing Mordo said. "Forget everything you think you know."

[@KyleWillLivingston]

5 down 1 to go: Tesseract - Space Stone H - Soul Stone Aether - Reality Stone Necklace - Time Stone Orb - Power Stone Sceptre - Mind Stone

[@epicshooters1000]

Kyle William Livingston the eye of agamotto isn't called the necklace, I'm sick of people twisting the names of these objects just to appeal to the stupid 'infinity stones spell out THANOS theory'

[@KyleWillLivingston]

oxXBLADEZXxo Necklace: "an ornamental chain or string of beads, jewels, or links worn around the neck." The last time I checked he wore it around his neck like a necklace. I never said The Eye of Agamotto was called the necklace, it doesn't need to be called "the necklace" to actually be a necklace. It is The Eye of Agamotto that just so happens to be worn/looks like a necklace.

[@DiZtheJedi]

+Kyle William Livingston The problem with that is that the Eye is never referred to as "The Necklace". You've got "The Orb", "The Scepter", "The Tesseract", and "The Aether". And in this, it's "The Eye of Agamotto", not "The Necklace". I was into the whole "Infinity Stones spells Thanos" thing since my friend pointed it out to me at the end of Age of Ultron, but I think that Dr. Strange kills the trend.

[@swanpride]

Well, if Hela has the Soul Stone I stick to the necklace interpretation, no matter what.

[@roninunchained]

I think it takes place during Civil War is happening. The Avengers tower doesn't show up "completely" until Age of Ultron.

[@firepedro9397]

Hi guys ! Loved your reaction Tesseract is on Asgaard now. At the end of the first Avenger movie, Thor use it to go back to Asgaard with Loki On earth there's only the stone on Vision's forehead and the eye of agamoto ^^ As always, i love your videos. I'm a huge fan Thank you for everything you do. Really love your work Signed a fan from France ^^

[@dababa85]

YAS! Melanie. Here we go!

[@gijules]

That was absolutely Rhodey that they mentioned and this was after Civil War. Not sure why you guys think otherwise.

[@myrafleming4423]

There might be a connection to the location of the last infinity stone made in Age of Ultron. Thor had his vision, and in it Heimdal's eyes were blind. They are usually orange. A very vibrant orange. In which case is the color of the last stone. Heimdal also makes a few comments about being able to see souls. The aether was able to take a "host" as did some of the other stones. The soul stone is in Heimdal's eyes.

[@sidnei_smj4556]

Hey guys the movie takes part at the same time as Civil War because, some minutes before the car crash, Strange is receiving a call to know a person that needs his medical stuff and they talk about a MILITARY THAT WAS WOUNDED USING A MILITARY ARMOR (so that's Rhodes)

[@leeim1995]

Nawh, Wong was more of a sidekick/servant in the comic. He's more of a colleague to Strange in the movie, Wong ain't doin' any sidekick shit for him. Strange actually needed permission from Wong to study certain shit, Wong can hold his own and his character arc wasn't really revolved around Strange.

[@HS-mn6jc]

"Dormammu, I've come to bargain."

[@michaelbreidenbach2834]

The movie takes palce in 2016. You can see an accolade dated 2016. And right before the car crash, his assistant on the phone tells him about an air force colonel with severe injuries wearing a armored suit, meaning War Machine from Civil War. I would have liked it, if the beginning of the movie would have been take place even before the events in IM 1, so that he would train for years, before he comes back to the "real" world.

[@joshwright7229]

The final Infinity Stone is the Soul Stone which in the comic storyline was with Adam Warlock aka "Him" which would fit with the THANOS letter theory but he would be very hard to add to the movies now IMHO. As of last night I saw that Hella is in Thor Ragnarok which is the ruler of the underworld in Asgard which would make it make sense that she could have the Soul Stone maybe in her helm. And on another note, my favorite Theory about the MCU is that Stan Lee is playing the character The Watcher :)

[@WulfysGamingTidbits]

Strange went full Sherlock on Dormammu. Stressed him out until he gave up.

[@WulfysGamingTidbits]

And we laughed really hard at her leaving him on Everest. He's like haha guys very funny. Then he starts to realize that he's probably not the first to be left on Everest.

[@MrDennisful]

I have an important Question: Where do u put all the mini figures??? Holy fck

[@CouchSpud91]

First it should be noted that Director Scott Derrickson has directly stated that the colonel mentioned in the start of the movie is NOT James Rhodes/War Machine, which frankly is kinda stupid because the timeline I could piece together would fit perfectly with it. WHiH News (A MARVEL KZbin series meant to help with the MCU timeline events) "interviewed" Doctor Strange on May 6 2016, so his car accident likely happens sometime after that. The next few months were spent doing his hand operations, finding Kamer Taj and going through his first bit of training. The timeline is caught up to present day by the third act when Strange "borrows" the Eye of Agamotto.

[@Big_Poppa_Bear]

The Infinity Stones : Reality- Ether, Space- Taseeract, Mind- with Vision, Time- Dr. Strange, Power - Guardians of the Galaxy, Soul-????

[@jrlaudio]

I'm not a fan of 3D for most movies, but you guys must travel and see it in IMAX 3D. This movie is about dimensions anyway, and it's the only movie I can actually say should only be seen in 3D and where the 3D makes sense, especially IMAX. Also the book Stan Lee was reading was a book (Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception about taking the psychoactive drug mescaline) he and Ditka read in the 60's that inspired what they did in the original DS comics. Stan came up with that cameo because he always laughed about that crazy existential stuff thinking it was nonsense, but thought he could use it to attract more readers from the "hippie" LSD generation.

[@CesarDainezi]

177A Bleecker Street is the actual address of the Sanctum Sanctorum from the comics, not necessarily a reference to Sherlock

[@mordirit8727]

I think you had a problem with the timeline because Eric randomly decided it had to happen between Avengers and Age of Ultron. Yeah, the tower with the A got built in that timeframe, but it has been standing up since then, so the movie can be set in literally any time after the first Avengers movie. So there's nothing stopping it from happening a few days after the end of Civil War.

[@anotherhappylanding4746]

I doubt that the avengers tower is destroyed or anything, I assume that it's after civil war and the tower just isn't used

[@nicholashines2403]

This takes place after civil war, the avengers tower was never taken down, they just don't use it as much anymore

[@dmen0563]

mordos staff is actually a really deep cut marvel easter egg it was called the staff of the living tribunal...the living tribunal is a cosmic entity which shows up a lot in marvel comics.

[@metallicnole4514]

I loved it. It's probably my second favorite standalone mcu film behind winter soldier. I can't wait to see more of the mystical side of the mcu.

[@TheKellman23]

@Blindwave the Tesseract is no longer on earth. Remember at the end of the Avengers, Thor took it with him and that is what he used to travel back to Asgard with Loki in custody.

[@R0B0Gamer]

The director said that the colonel who is mentioned in the car scene is neither rhodie or the "hammer" guy. Dunno who it is but it's interesting..

[@tovekauppi1616]

I mean, you were right about three stones being on earth or more specifically New York at the same time even, but the Aether was never on eart.

[@aaronbruscino9815]

That's why in the post credit scene Thor is talking to him about what's happening in ragnarok dr strange would have shown up in avengers or the dark world because the Gillian's weren't from this realm if this took place between

[@EmCeeThird]

About the timeline, Dr. Strange also must have taken place after Winter Soldier since that one guy mentions Dr. Stephen Strange as part of that Hydra watch list.

About the Rhodey easter egg....apparently the girl struck by lightening is Captain Marvel.

Dr Strange takes place after Civil War. At the beginning of the film, right before he gets in the car crash, one of the patients Strange refuses to see is described as a army colonel who damaged his spine during an incident with his combat suit. I thinks it's pretty clear they're talking about War machine.

The cube is back in Asgard, they used it to reform the Bifrost and the soul stone is in Vision's melon...

[@dontedoestuff]

I think my favorite part of this movie is that it officially established the multiverse, meaning if for any reason Fox and Marvel make a deal to have the X-Men around for even a single movie, they now have a way in

[@Vamparina413]

I think the timeline before the accident is probably Iron Man 2 (i.e which is about the Hammer suit since it is experimental and all not like a well known suit like the War Machine suit) and the one in Manhattan with the Avengers Tower is probably after Winter Soldier (i.e. Sitwell mentioning Steven Strange) to before Avengers 2 coz after Age of Ultron there was the Avenger's compound which we saw in Civil War so it probably isn't after Civil War.. at least not until the mid credit scene which I feel is a scene in Thor: Ragnarok where he is probably a Sorcerer's Supreme by then kinda like the end credits scene in Ant Man which turned out to be a scene in Civil War itself.

The only issue i had with the dr strange movie was that they didn't add some of the items from the original cartoon.

[@QueenMegaera]

177 A Bleeker Street is Dr Strange's adress in the comics, so that Sherlock Holmes-reference predates Cumberbatch. Makes for a funny coincidence now! :)

[@WulfysGamingTidbits]

And did you notice that Sherlock was in a movie with Irene Adler and living in Sherlock's city?

Eye of Agomotto casts Izanami.

Guys, I might be wrong , but I think all MCU movies are contemporary....

Wasn't the Aether in another dimension? Jane Foster just happened to walk through the one point int he convergence anomaly or whatever that takes her there.

[@rileyleary8566]

C N nah it was just a portal

[@michaelbreidenbach2834]

You could assume that he learned too fast, but in the third act of the movie, when he fights in the sanctorum etc. he uses spells, that we see him done (trying) before and it is mostly basic stuff (shields, whips etc.). Without the cloak, he would have been killed. And using the time gem seems to be easy, because the ritual is in the book and the other sorcerers rather don't use the gem, then using it. There is no moment in this movie, where he does something extraordinary even to the sorcerers (How can he do this? He IS the Sorcerer Supreme). He has to give back the Eye of Agamotto. He's never called Sorcerer Supreme. The only stretch to me is, that he now is the guardian of the Sanctum Sanctorum. Is there no other more experienced sorcerer? He beats Kacillius and Dormammu with his smarts not necessarily with his powers.

[@TankNBeans]

Winter Soldier, Civil War, Iron Man, Dr Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Avengers are my top 6 Marvel films

[@startingtogeek1773]

I know this movie is part of phase three for marvel, but I walked out of that movie thinking that act two of the Infinity Wars story was over. Did anybody else get that feeling?

[@knailley]

The Soul Stone is the most powerful Infinity Stone. It is the big-Orange one on the Gauntlet.

[@bandanapatowary2006]

Hey ether was not on earth...it was somewhere else but they did not clarify the place...bcz when Jane find it, it was on one of the covergence point n that's why haimdall didn't see her at that point but it doesn't mean it happens to be in earth. convergence point can be anywhere right.

[@DarkVoid9274]

This movie is after civil war in the MCU timeline because the A on tony house hasn't change it just means the avengers now have 2 bases and the ending with Thor is set up 4 Thor 3

[@DarkVoid9274]

So i think I was wrong on the timeline after gaining more information and watching it again the timeline of this movies should be somewhere before Cap 2 and after Avengers (probably somewhere around Iron man 3) but the after credits parts are after Civil War

[@rakeshtripathi4692]

177/A bleeker street is actually sanctum sanctorum address !!

[@rosearnold2695]

Doctor Strange began in between Avengers 1 & 2 but by end of it it's all caught up. Keep in mind this movie takes place over the period of at least a year or two

[@johnnyannapolis]

Quick heads up. Marvel has doubled back on the two Avengers movies being a two parter. The second one is no longer Infinity War. My theory...World War Hulk.

[@mizu88KA]

How does Hydra plan on killing Dr.Strange in Winter Soldier. Was his name on the hit list because of him being a famous Surgeon.

[@jessicawilliams7443]

Had the exact thought of that cape. Alladin's carpet. It was awesome!

[@DarkVoid9274]

The power stone is the most powerful one it said it in guardians of the galaxy so probably the one in the middle and vision in comics started out with a infinity gem
