can you two adopt me and be my dads? i am cat-like

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

😂😂😂😂😂 sure

[@OfficialDoggyYT]

ayo

[@kindabatooni9314]

Stephen Strange is my favorite MCU hero. Benedict Cumberbatch was a perfect casting.

[@OzoneGamerStation]

On top of that he actually enjoys playing Doctor Strange unlike other actors in the MCU. Really makes me appreciate him as an actor.

[@kindabatooni9314]

@@OzoneGamerStation agreed he loves his character and enjoys it. He fights for it as well. That’s despite him being a serious actor who was nominated for a couple of Oscars and loves to act Shakespeare on theater.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Him and RDJ were bullseye castings. But all of the original 6 Avengers casting were inspired.

[@adrianduke9648]

I was just about to say that!

[@chairofthebored]

You were right, the bucket and mop falling wasn't scripted or planned so Christine's (Rachel McAdams) scream was real and they decided to keep it since it fit perfectly

[@ava_graham.7]

I don’t like her. Her character in the movie that came out April 28, 2023 gives me ptsd and I cannot watch that anymore

[@OzoneGamerStation]

This has to be one of my favorite MCU movies. An interesting concept where it takes a lesser known hero who resolves around magic. I love the other heroes it’s just they’re too obvious to be fans of. I know I sound like a hipster lol. Down the road you’ll meet a lot more lesser known heroes that I know you guys will love. Also fun fact. This movie is the first MCU movie to introduce the concept of the multiverse. The Ancient one talks about it while Doctor Strange has his first “trip”. You’re in for a wild ride.

[@nathanmead9585]

So many Benedicts! Back when the MCU was starting up, Feige mentioned that they were going for a totally realistic approach to all this stuff (thus Thor's description of Asgardian "magic" as just being advanced science). Eventually, they realized that they maybe really could dip their toes into actual magic.

[@yasinkrmz7051]

This movie is one of the best in mcu. It introduces a whole new world to us. And they are powerful I mean Loki 1500 years old magician and all he can do is illusion. And lastly I love you guys thank for the reaction. I had a great time with you. 😊😊

[@samsaumaralikhan]

Imagine that Strange made Dormammu rage quit. Beaten by annoyance

[@Swampthing71]

Dr. Strange is my second favorite Marvel comic book character with Daredevil being my favorite Marvel comic book character. My favorite DC & favorite comic book character is The Flash/Wally West with Aquaman being my second favorite DC character.

[@enter4none]

You guys have become my favorite reactors, just discovered you guys this month and I'm honestly enjoying your content.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

THANK YOU so much!!!! We are so happy you enjoying our content!!!

[@joedavis6029]

When then cloak chose him and he levitated, with the music and the sanctum window behind him...legitimate chills. I love the conversation where the ancient one is drawing out her last moments. I had black light posters when I was a kid...I'd love to have a Dormammu dark dimension poster.

[@Siennamerdein]

Civil war is built up by 2 previous Captain America movie And 2 avengers movie ofc Dr strange won't be on that level this is an introduction movie This is more similar to iron man 1 and captain America 1 😂

[@chefskiss6179]

Honestly, I would love to make portals... imagine lunches and dinners... you want some fresh tapas, or you know a great street vendor that does amazing samosas, or craving biryani and tempura at once? Let's go! 😂

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Yes please!

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

It's a mistake any of these movies with another. Each has their own purpose and reasoning. It's also a mistake to get hung up on CGI. (and don't talk so much. You either miss things altogether or only see/experience them in editing.) You guys are great. I love your enthusiasm!.

[@rashadwalker8218]

I can respect u saying this wasnt your favorite movie but comparing this to civil war isnt necessarily fair , for one u already know all the characters from civil war and got to be invested with those characters, this is a origin story. Civil war is damn near an avengers film

[@jobinmcgooch]

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 🤘🏽

[@riahw3750]

Honestly i respect his need for proof, he doesnt just blindly believe. He needs to be more respectful definitely. Also he is arrogant but he really does have reason to be😂 hes the best in his field and hes incredibly smart. Fun fact, Benedict cumberbatch voice dormammu too! He spent years trying to bargain with dormammu btw, he died millions of times trying to save earth.

[@Pstar8631]

Watch every film as its own thing. I know it’s hard not to compare, but every movie and show that comes out has its own distinct flavor and genre. The connections are there, but allow yourselves to just go on the journey every time. It won’t all be Winter Soldier or Civil War. Enjoy! Some more insane moments coming!

[@steved1135]

Nice. Top 5 MCU.

[@GHBobBrownbear]

Geerdude gave me an idea, i would like to be adopted by you too 😃 i love you guys, you bring me so much joy ❤

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Awww thank you very much we are so happy we bring you joy that’s why we do all of this.

[@sandmancd]

I'd seen some of the MCU movies before this one, but this was the one that got me truly invested! It does seem like another egotistical hero's humbling journey but it resonated with me so much due to also having gone though a serious incident that disabled my body, unable to live my life and do what I did prior to the incident. I'm still grieving the person I was, but stories like Doctor Strange's inspires accepting acceptance and finding other ways to live life. He traded his whole medical career for a magical one (that doesn't pay much if at all, lol). But he still has his intellect and quick learning, and I loved how he defeated Dormammu simply by trolling him endlessly. A nice change from most superhero movies that end in some giant battle. Another thing that stuck out to me is that no one knows what he did! He used to chase glory as a surgeon, but he just saved everyone by dying painfully thousands of times in a different dimension, and the world goes on with no one knowing what happened. While I love Iron Man too, it's very different with Tony coming out as Iron Man to bask in the glory. 😂 I also don't think it's fair to compare to Civil War since that's basically an Avengers movie where we already know most of the characters, but I can understand how you feel coming right off of that one. I just absolutely loved Doctor Strange for how different and meaningful it is, and I appreciate your reaction either way. I'm glad I found your channel and you're both so fun to watch. One bit of suggestion if possible is to not talk so much over dialogue, or pause the movie if you do have a lot of discussion you need to say at that point. I feel like many times you guys miss out on important information from talking over it, only to ask about it later or be confused at something when it was already clarified behind your talking.

[@erikawilliams9558]

Doctor strange is one of my favs. (I tend to like the magical characters lol)

[@lynjones2461]

Benedict Cumberbatch was Sherlock he also played Khan in Star Trek into Darkness he is absolutely magnificent he has the best voice xx

[@TheCkent100]

24:19 It's a magical place. If you know, you know.

[@ChuckJansenII]

As far as Tony watching Avengers: Endgame cold without seeing any of the previous movies you bring up a good point. You get to see how the eff did we get to End Game. Very interesting way to take the MCU ride. Wanda is Witchcraft while Doctor Strange is a Sorcerer. These are related but a bit different. Tony Stark is science while Thor is a lunkhead ogre. Interesting to compare witchcraft, sorcery and science. This movie had a tough slot in the MCU considering it followed up Captain America: Cap's Out Of Control which is a great movie. Not every movie will be at the top. As long as you enjoyed it, that's the big thing that counts. Mad Mikkelsen does get a bit of shade thrown at him for a generic villain performance as Kaecilius. Stephen Strange quickly earned the nickname 'Sparky' at Kamar-Taj. Wong thought it was funny.

[@nahthanksno8299]

NGL, you 2 are absolutely rocking the fits

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Thank you 😊

[@Jacana2k6]

One correction for the movie. Mordo was actually wearing the vaulting Kinky Boots of Valtorr . . .lol Seriously. If you haven't yet, watch Chiwetel Ejiofor, aka Mordo, in Kinky Boots. This movie was so fun to watch in the theaters. And yes. The main villain in this movie was Dr Strange's ego. Very good cast.

[@abneraranivar346]

The guy paralyzed in an experimental armor Strange was offered to help was actually the guy who Justin Hammer had test out his prototype suit in Ironman 2.

[@OfficialDoggyYT]

thats crazy, L Hammer

[@metha9987]

Oh, I legit thought it was Rhody😅

[@benediktmathes2528]

No, it's not. That accident happened years earlier.

[@nvp8191]

Do not research into Wanda maximum until after Wanda vision series. Also you should know a sorcery and witchcraft are two different types of magic. Sorcery draw energy from other dimensions which anyone can learn even if you're not magically inclined. Witchcraft draw magic from the user and cosmic forces around them. It seems like Stephen strange learning magic quickly but in fact from the events of the car accident to the end scene where he's looking out the window of the sanctum occurs over the course of 2 years.

[@cheshirekat528]

Yes, good advice, steer clear of of looking into Wanda for now 😉

[@mayarimarjorie5624]

this movie made me wonder how the avengers or the world never seems to see this happening.

[@gypsysoul.]

Loving this journey! Keep up the epic work 🤩🤩😻😻

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Thank you!! 😁

[@ah2441]

You have no idea what's coming for our heroes 😀😲🫢😭

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

Get your minds blown

[@kiryukaimemorial127]

I always saw Dr. Strange as a Indiana Jones type character. He is kind of an unwilling hero with selfish motives, who ends up fighting for the greater good out of situational necessity. Same type of snarky humor, as well.

[@TheUAProdigy]

That is actually embodied by a DC character, Constantine. DR. Strange in the comics is actually pretty cool less like a Tony Stark.

[@EchanteDante]

This movie I didn’t love the first time I watched it…but revisit it a year or two from now and I bet you’ll feel much much different about it. That tends to be a lot of people’s experience. I think maybe once you get to know Doctor Strange’s personality more in other movies his origin movie is a lot more enjoyable. Where as the first time watching it is a bit confusing and Strange is unlikable as heck in this first film. But revisiting it you have a much different perspective.

[@sophroniastopher15]

When I die.. damn I hope I'm reincarnated as that cape lol

[@mr.zevito469]

Getting closer to infinity war😎

[@adamjames5942]

You two are great!

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

THANK YOU 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@maxvickrey4357]

Wanda is magically technically...

[@grassfedcharlie]

I really hope we get to watch Spider Man Into the Spiderverse movie and part 2 soon

[@alansp55]

Finaly

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Doctor Strange: Master of the Mystic Arts. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko who also was the original artist on Spider-Man. Wanda uses Chaos Magic. In the comics she cast hex bolts which altered probability. So she basically cursed people with Murphy's Law. Whatever could go wrong did go wrong. In the MCU she has telekinetic abilities as well as the ability to alter people's perceptions. 😊 The technical term is an out of body experience also known as astral projection in which the spirit is separated from the body. The bad news is the body cannot continue without the spirit. The body would remain in a coma-like state until the two parts are reunited. 😮 Doctor Strange makes use of two relics. The Eye of Agamotto created by the powerful sorcerer Agamotto. The other is known as the Cloak of Levitation which allows him to fly. 😂 Any entity known as the Dread Dormammu cannot be a good guy. Especially if he comes from the Dark Dimension. Lol. 😅 The Ancient One in the comics was a Tibetan style male monk. But that would not sit well with China so they race swapped and gender swapped the role to make it more palatable to Chinese audiences. 😮 Baron Karl Mordo is actually a villain in the Doctor Strange comics. A rival sorcerer who is somewhat power hungry. 😅

[@oliviermartin7063]

Another good reaction, loved it! ❤❤

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Thank you!! 😁

[@randalthor741]

For the record, I totally agree that this movie is good, but not the best MCU movie, and I totally agree that Captain America: Civil War was a better movie. Then again, Civil War might just be my favourite MCU movie, so obviously I'm going to think it was better... It's all subjective anyway, so others may completely disagree on that, and that's OK.

[@theylied1776]

In the MCU Wanda, or the Scarlet Witch, her powers are Cosmic, meaning that they come from an Infinity stone. So her powers are inherent. There is no limit to her powers. Doctor Strange is a Sorcerer, meaning that his powers are elemental. Things like spells and objects. Doctor Strange, his power is only limited by how strong the spell is.

[@antoniumsolutions1791]

HI guys...I think there are too many adds it seems like I am seeing an advertisement every 5 minutes.

[@siesjuan]

Is the cat dad on the left Venezuelan by any chance? I kinda hear an accent there, lol

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Hahaha a very strong accent. I am cuban.

[@siesjuan]

​@@CatDadsReactVTTV Hahahah close enough I guess. I really enjoy you guy's reactions. Can't wait for Thor Ragnarok soon next :)

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

Don't feel bad about watching Endgame first. I did that with the Harry Potter franchise. I did it on a date with a girl who knew all of the movies and I made the mistake of mentioning that I a crowded room. I looked up, and all the other people in the room were staring at me like they were about to lynch me. I still don't know what a muggle is.

[@uttula]

”It could be CG” :D …please… it’s Marvel - it is CG ;)

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

😹😹😹

[@meajur]

"The villain, I find the villain a little bit too generic." Me: He's even more generic in the comics. He was one of Mordo's three underlings (which is why I call Kaecilius's two unnamed disciples "Adria" and "Demonicus"), and between the three of them, they BARELY had any lines until they got on a bus to the Purple Dimension. The bus came back for a brief stop in a Jane Foster centric comic, and Kaecilius's face was drawn to look like the movie version. I do wish Adria and Demonicus had been similarly updated... Ah well. I do like the movie, but I do not like how it's resulted in an elevation of Kaecilius above Adria and Demonicus in the comics. It's like talking about the Three Musketeers, but you only talk about Athos while forgetting Porthos and Aramis exist.

[@cheshirekat528]

22:25 “It’s just a jump to the left!”

[@scottlaughlin9897]

And a step to the right, put your hands on your hips…

[@whasiannate]

i’ve been really loving the reactions but some constructive criticism I have noticed that for the past couple movies I think the videos over edited and sometimes take me out of it. I think the constant changes to the movie perspective can be distracting especially when there is a perspective shift. That’s just me tho you guys are doing a great job keep up the reactions! can’t wait for more!

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Thank you so much for the feedback! We really appreciate it. We completely understand what you mean - sadly, doing those cuts and changes in perspective are the only way to alter the movie enough to prevent copyright infringement. We’ve tried other methods, but it was flagged as violating copyrights, so we had to make some changes. We’re always looking for ways to bring you our reactions while also respecting the amazing work of the copyright holders. Thank you again for your support and hope to make the next reactions even better for you all! 😺

[@midianmtd]

Did you catch Lola from the British KINKY BOOTS in this movie? 👠💅👠

[@markmatson]

End Game might be the weirdest, most out-of-context stand-alone movie, ever! I can only imagine how lost you were.

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

You caught the Rhody Easter egg

[@carlgibson285]

It wasn't a Rhodey Easter Egg since that part of the movie was set a few years before Civil War. It was an Easter Egg for the guy in Iron Man 2 who got his spine twisted while testing Justin Hammer's armoured suits for the military.

[@hopefowler3219]

Sherlock bbc show :) ya’ll scene that?

[@spencernaugle]

To be honest, I've always thought they made a mistake by using Dormamu in the first Dr. Strange movie. He should have been the big bad for the third installment in a trilogy. Not an easily defeated floating head in the first movie. But they had to do it this way for what's coming up soon in the MCU.

[@jlhanlon1980]

Dormammu is actually an avengers level threat and can take on Thanos with ease.

[@gridlo]

I agree about Darmamu. I liked his look in the comics much better.

[@riahw3750]

Obviously what he said wasn't ok butttt hear me out. If i lost my hands, my job, all the time I'd spent becoming the best in my field, all of my money trying my hardest to fix my hands, all of my possessions, and I'd just learned that my last hope fell through when my ex shows up and tells me i still have him i dont think id be very nice either

[@torontomame]

You're absolutelycorrect. He should have been nicer, but at that moment he felt he'd lost everything and he was angry at Everything. Doesn't make what he said okay, but I think it's understandable.

[@spencernaugle]

Mr? Doctor. Mr. Doctor It's... Strange Maybe, who am I to judge?

[@crapstirrer]

C'mon. Avatar Kiyoshi is right there.

[@abhilashkumar3791]

I love you guys please start reacting to Indian movies starts with 3 idiots

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

You’re ok Dr Strange can never compare to Civil War so not an unpopular opinion

[@rjeizzay9619]

I too am so poor

Before you ask, no, I don't think anyone slipped you acid

Dormamu is so fat...

[@juliocesarg.r.1238]

sorcery and witchcraft are two very different things in this universe... ALSO it's a CLOAK, not a cape....
