Hello

[@joshuaruby7378]

Great video

[@theJ3ZA]

It's not rodey who Dr strange was offered to operate on. It's the guy in the hammer suit during the court scene. Doctor strange was learning for years, starting before the avengers assembled. Don't let me catch you making that mistake again when we're watching "my parents react to Doctor strange" 😉😉

[@mannholloway]

Not roady

[@somedudeontwitterstalkedme3829]

This is not a dig, but I believe the reason you love Doctor Strange so much is... You are a "Cap" Guy (absolutely nothing wrong with that, Cap this Chris Evans version of Cap is my Cap. I did not care for the comic book version... too speechy and he was always reigning in Wolverine... hahaha, Chris Evans version of the Cap, makes it my fault for not getting it Doctor Strange is your version of how people feel about Tony Stark.... he has that edge, Doctor Strange is just as arrogant, but he got everything taking from him, while Tony tends to just throw stuff away. You love this movie for the exact same reason, that people love Tony Stark. that is what is so beautiful about this experience (as opposed to the DCEU or sorry to say this "Matt is right" Star Wars), it is all connected... you don't have to explain why you saw this 4 times, all you have to say to an Iron Man stan is... "how you feel about Tony, is how I felt about Strange in this film". They will get it. It is also why so many Tony Stark fans, love Black Panther so much... because T'Challa is just as noble as Cap, but with cynicism and a more grounded realistic view. Slight Spoiler as in context towards possible clever add ons: I am calling him Cap, because this is earlier in my timeline and I do not wish to engage a spoiler train of people being clever...

[@2QAYL1138]

[@garyking1986]

One of the reasons I love this film so much is because of Doctor Strange's arc of learning that failure is okay. The Ancient One told him that while his fear of failure made him such a good doctor, it's also what kept him from fully reaching his potential. Stephen throughout the film is obsessed with his own failings, not being able to imagine adjusting to a life brought on by his own mistakes, and instead relentlessly trying to take back his old life. In his opening scene when he invites Christine to his speaking engagement, she says "Everything's about you". Throughout his life, Stephen has been surrounded by people that have done nothing but remind him how important he is with everything centred around him, and it's not until the Ancient One tells Stephen "It's not about you" that the camera spins around Stephen to show that he has found a new perspective. To overcome his fear of failure, it's so perfect that he has to defeat Dormammu by losing to him countless times. In the final scene he puts his watch back on, still broken representing his broken self, and while he could get his watch fixed he instead keeps it broken to remind himself to live with his past mistakes and grow from them instead of trying to undo them. Sorry if I rattled on a bit here. This film just really spoke to me and I think it's one of the more underrated MCU films.

[@Hummingbirder1]

One thing to remember that isn't very obvious about this film: we only see Doctor Strange die a few times, HOWEVER, he actually spends hundreds of thousands of "years" battling and being killed by Dormammu, dying hundreds of thousands of times. This gives Doctor Strange the opportunity to practice his magic a lot, so he is actually incredibly skilled now.

She is so close to Infinity War! Can't wait! Well done guys.

[@sparkymularkey6970]

I absolutely LOVE this movie. It is my favorite solo Marvel film. I know this is hyperbole, but in my opinion, Doctor Strange has the BEST superhero origin story of all time. This movie did the character so much justice. There were so many brilliant moments.

[@bradfedick]

This was a great movie, i thought it was very well done. I was very wrong that Jen was going to dislike the ending. Seeing her insight into this movie was interestingly fun, how she broke it down was so good.

[@Saimeren]

When this movie first came out, I actually rated it really low. I honestly didn't like it. I thought it was cheesy, over the top and kind of pretentious. But after watching it a few more times, I started to really like it, and now it's easily in my top 5 favourite MCU movies.

[@ellebaby825]

What made you go back and watch it again if you initially didn't like it?

[@Saimeren]

@@ellebaby825 A few of the Marvel movies were on Netflix at the time, and there were a few on there that I hadn't liked (Ant-Man being another) that I decided to give another try. I love(d) the MCU a lot and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there was something I was missing that made other people like them. So I gave them a try and found that there were things about it during my initial viewing that I didn't like that weren't so bad the second time through.

[@r.j.h.l2031]

Holden, your thoughts on the movie where almost mine exactly! I feel it was very underrated. Such a visually stunning film. Plus, the dry humor in it is perfect. I didn't think my 8 and 10 year old kids would like it, but they actually loved it and can't wait for the next one.

[@michaeldorsey1394]

I’d love to see a series where Holden watches movies that Jen is into.

Wonderfully acted, great effects, solid script, world building, proper funny yet a tear jerker. It's the definition underrated.

[@musicandmoviefan9217]

did you notice just before Dr. Strange had his car accident they sent him files on a Air Force Colonel that had spinal injuries stemming from an "experimental armor". That was James Rhodes aka: War Machine and his injuries were from vision knocking him out of the sky. Love the way they continue to tie the MCU together

[@connieoliver7369]

Dr.Strange is one of my favorite Marvel movies. I know a lot of "Marvel"fans don't rank it very high. But I love it. Looking forward to seeing the new movie next year.

I'm a Marvel fan, and it's probably my favorite of the movies.

watched it in theater two times. Finally we had magic in the MCU! Then the second time I figured out that most of the movie was still just people punching each-other. Glad Strange used more actual magic in later films.

[@fracturedstreak2490]

Actually the experimental armor that someone broke there back in is one of Justin hammers men from iron man 2

[@BobboB-cy6px]

The “experimental armor” dude, is not actually Rhodey, the beginning of Doctor strange takes place before civil war. For some reason it’s a common misconception, but I just want to make sure the correct information is out there.

[@Just_A_Human15]

Great video as always Holden. Only the pilot who crushed his spine they were talking about wasn’t Rhodes since the beginning of the movie was before Civil War. They were most likely talking about the pilot who was testing the Hammer Drone in Iron Man 2

[@laneros2008]

You should make her react to the trailers during the week until you watch the next movie, it would be awesome to see her theories about the trailer too.

"As many people have pointed out, War Machine doesn't look that young.

Also, if I remember correctly, the director said it wasn't War Machine. Also like you said the timeline wouldn't match up. Plus, if it was War Machine I'm sure Billy would have said it was War Machine. Strange wouldn't have passed on becoming the doctor to the Avengers."

[@steady_torchman9122]

2:37 so fun fact, that's not referring to Rhodey, it refers to the test pilot in Iron Man 2 that Justin Hammer injured trying to recreate the Iron Man armor. This movie takes place over at least a couple years. This movie is not great about conveying the passage of time.

[@matthewd9370]

The timeline doesn't match up for it to be the test pilot either. Imo it was intended to be Rhodes since this came out after Civil War but the timeline doesn't quite match up. I dont think there's any confirmation though on who it actually is

Jen we were able to live between movies and wait for the next for 1 simple reason, We had too lol.

little correction @2:34: the airforce colonel the man on the phone was talking about was NOT Rhodey. It was the guy in the Hammer Tech armor that twisted in the courtroom scene from Iron Man 2. These opening scene takes several years before the movie's present time, so it couldn't have been Rhodey anyways - especially because Rhodey is way older than 35.
