We love the Marvel Cinematic Universe because creators find little ways to connect this universe. In this case, the vision the Ancient One shows Doctor Strange is repeated in the show LOKI. We break down each of these visions frame by frame, explain their connections to the infinity stones, Ant_man, the Avengers, and the future of the MCU.

[@pandanganmatiyn1487]

Another cool easter egg is that both the Ancient One and Sylvie uttered the same words of "Open your eyes", but whereas Strange's vision began with those words, Loki's vision ended. Perhaps implying that Strange's true destiny will just begin once he'll open his eyes, while Loki's cycle of despair and loss will finally end when he'll open his eyes.

[@bdragon1445]

VERY GOOD insight!

[@nayelivalenciana2304]

OMG so true😢

[@knightslayer4853]

Damn

[@nayelivalenciana2304]

And both, the ancestral and sylvie told them "this isn't about you" implaying the loss of ego of loki and strange that later would go through to seek the common good and turn them into heroes.

[@irishsoniv]

Dang

[@bensenzo]

Damn I never would have realised that that epic opening in Loki episode 6 was all Loki's vision at the end of episode 5. Thanks Dr. Screencrush

[@arka_mal]

exactly.....

[@gearbear1351]

Right? That blew my mind

[@GabrielSouza-ie1tt]

For real, I just realized that when he said and I was like "holy fuck! That's true!"

[@MsDianagentaToYou]

....and he found his Power there just like Strange did.

[@criticialdrinkersilentonac5788]

yup

[@ninma6287]

A thought that just crossed my mind was a line Classic Loki said; "The blades are worthless in the face of a Loki sorcery". Which in a way reminds of how Strange had to learn to see beyond his hands. It kinda mirrors how Loki saw the vision when using magic instead of a blade. Adds even more to the parallels between the two and the scenes themselves as the lessons aren't all that far appart.

[@Viv1992]

By making Stange realize he's insignificant in the universe she made him the most significant character in it. Beauty of magic.

[@ElizabethLikesToDoArt]

At like 9:45 he talks about the nightmare dimension. In episode 1? of Loki, Loki says, “This place is a nightmare.” (Referring to the TVA) And Mobius says, “No. that’s a different division, now that place I’ll help you burn down.” Could Mobius be talking about the actual nightmare dimension?

[@sewdramatic5587]

me too. That was an epic quote

[@winchesterinc.5643]

There’s so much that people overlook, it’s astonishing. The more people find a reason to complain about Marvel content, the more time shows that they’ve been playing chess while simultaneously making the movies/shows entertaining and avoiding being full of themselves. Dare I say, they’ve been Kanging us. 😆

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

I never understood people saying Marvel movies are shallow. Sure, they're blockbuster movies, but they're not dumbed down to the lowest common denominator like the Transformers or Fast and Furious franchises. There's plenty of valid criticisms that can be made (movies feel similar), but shallow ain't one of them.

[@eshitarezakhan6901]

Wow, it was Loki's vision of multiverse through Alioth!!! So now Loki has transcended like Dr. Strange!! "I didn't see that coming!!" I feel enlightened, thanks to you, screen crush.

[@dallas5822]

Does this also explain why Doctor Strange was so weary of Loki when they met? Was he aware of Loki's potential future impact on reality?

[@StanHowse]

Because Loki uses his "magic" to deceive, trick, and otherwise be malicious. Strange can see through his illusions.

[@silcojinx91]

Loki and his children brings about Ragnarok in mythology, so yeah he's a threat.

[@meggc5858]

Fun fact: the pineal gland, located in the brain, actually has a cornea similar to the eyeballs. Literally the "third eye".

[@carlinemoon2484]

That is also the gland which produces melatonin, which aids not only in sleep but is elevated during meditation.

[@andyscott5277]

The pineal is also involved with secretion, and most likely production of DMT, an endogenous psychedelic that produces a trip much like that seen in Dr. Strange and Loki, vividly colored portals and such. Or so I’m told… 😏

[@eekeey]

Loki transcended. I felt that Loki's character was a bit off in this series. But, I realized that he's not out of character, he transcended the tragic loop he always seems to fall in, in the movies. Loki and Dr. Strange may be the most important characters in the MCU right now.

[@lanalight2712]

You say that you “love the subtle connections between these two MCU sorcerers” and let me tell you how grateful I am for you being able to notice them and break them down in such a digestible way for all of us to appreciate them as well!✨👏🏼🤩 thanks to your videos I love the MCU more and more and can’t wait for more of their brilliant stuff. You rock!💪🏼

[@Amanda-wh8ww]

The connection to the beginning of episode 6 to Loki having a vision in episode 5 is amazing! I never even connected that. And it seems Sylvie didn’t have that connection because she opened her eyes first. Rewatching it makes sense, because Loki seemed startled. I thought it was seeing the citadel but now I think it was his coming back to that reality. Curious if we’ll see him powered up moving forward.

[@FLUXXEUS]

This sequence/scene alone in Dr. Strange was one of the best parts of any movie I've ever seen, I *LOVE* the visuals 👌

[@leilanidrennan1767]

I very much appreciate this theory and explanation. I was having a pretty bad existential crisis until it was explained in this kind of way. Realizing our own existence is insignificant doesnt mean we have to give up and feel cynical like mr. strange. Just because we cant explain or fathom something doesnt mean it doesnt exist, and our biggest problem is our ego, or the fear that we arent important. That hyperfixation on our own importance or non importance keeps us from seeing what's beyond if thats even possible.

[@ohhanna3927]

i love how my Physics lessons actually become useful when it comes to Marvel.

[@BrentStewart]

The mysterious ship in the Loki opening has been confirmed to be the ship of The Collector. You can see it in Infinity War in the background when the Guardians are facing Thanos in Knowhere.

[@kevinboutwell]

Yup. Was just about to say the same thing. Kinda odd that he missed that.

[@user-cv3dr4kt7j]

@@kevinboutwell timestamp when he talked about the ship?

@@kevinboutwell to be fair, he was really inviting speculation, more than saying he didn't know. And then directing people to the comment section to drive traffic there. I guess it worked. ;-)

[@orinblank2056]

This just gives me way more appreciation for the sequence in Dr. Strange. I had always enjoyed it as an extremely trippy sequence that showed some of the things I've seen on psychedelics that I'd never seen animated before, but It's crazy to see how much symbolism is in there

[@davesargent7304]

Your mom jokes aside, Ryan has the best theories and descriptions of MCU schtuff. Better than any other KZbin channel! It took me 3 years to get to this realization but I'm here!

[@amberyadav3147]

I just wanted to add a few things You mentioned the nightmare dimension when talking about the Dr. Strange scene, and in Loki episode 1 (I think) Loki says "This place is a nightmare" and Mobius says "Now that department I'll help you take down" so I just saw this connection and wanted to add. ALSO both Sylvie and The Ancient One spoke the same words of "open your eyes" when Loki and Strange where viewing the multiverse, but whereas Strange's vision began with those words, Loki's vision ended. ALSO I noticed both The Ancient One and Sylvie say the lines "This isn't about you" to Strange and Loki. So yes these parallels really astounded me, awesome video, I'M SO EXCITED FOR PHASE 4 OF THE MCU

[@KllrFluffyBunny]

Fuuuuuuc.... holy shi..... this is amazing. This is why marvel is so good at this whole story telling thingy wingy. I hope it's true. It adds so much depth to the universe. Fingers crossed they keep nerding out like us!

[@annedrieck7316]

There might be justice league vs avengers movie soon

[@protorhinocerator142]

@@annedrieck7316 I'm not so sure I'd want to watch that. The problem is how DC has OP'ed all their characters to practically Superman levels of power. Iron Man couldn't fight Superman. Captain America couldn't fight Wonder Woman. They would have to bend over backwards and twist the script into knots just so the Avengers had some kind of chance. And expect more Deus Ex Stupida like, "Why did you say the name Martha?"

[@pudgeboyardee32]

I think thor has been hinted at having done something close to this a number of times besides his trip to junkland. when his father appears to him during his fight with hela i seem to recall a similar effect being used. and odin is there after having turned into what looks like energy. and etris suggestion that stormbreaker could summon the bifrost as odins spear has may be another oblique reference to the power thor has to hand. im thinking he might be the next big player tossed into multiverse shenanigans. and it bears mentioning that in norse mythology odin canonically kills himself by hanging from the world tree, upon which the levels of the world rest. they are, of course, held in seperate branches. odin is taken through each of these levels and is shown all knowledge of all time in all places. the price he paid for this knowledge was his eye. blinding himself to see more. thor has now also lost his eye and though his is not the canonical norse king of the gods after ragnarok it seems that the people at marvel are setting him up to take odins place in the universe at large, though not his place upon a throne. i dont think its a coincidence it was loki that took this journey. the heirs of odin fighting at the end of time to forestall a monster from eating the world is what ragnarok actually is so i wouldnt be surprised if thats whats coming down the pipe.
