Dr. Strange was my favorite as a kid, because his superpower is study and knowledge. They really hit that note in this movie, so it definitely made my top 5. Shoutout to What If? for their takes too.

[@robisadev]

Chiwetel Ejiofor is such an amazing actor.

[@iAmPimmiCue]

The Air Force Colonel was I think the guy from Iron Man 2, a lot of people mistake it for Rhodes

[@carlgibson285]

Yep, it was the guy in the prototype Hammer-Tech suit. According to the Official Encyclopedia Of The MCU (yes, I'm that much of a nerd) Strange was already studying in Kamar-Taj when the events of Civil War happened.

[@Rubiks_LIVE]

Not sure if you noticed, but there was a warning at the very end of the credits. "Driving while distracted can be hazardous to you and others on the road. Please drive responsibly." Warnings come after the spells, of course 🤣

[@andelain]

Haha I didn't notice that!

[@J_mped]

@@Rubiks_LIVE I love the little Easter eggs marvel puts into their movies it makes it so interesting

[@Jymm]

38:30 The book Stan Lee is reading on the bus is the "The Doors of Perception", a 1954 book written by Aldous Huxley. That book is also where the group "The Doors" got their name.

[@lazykbys]

Is that the one where Huxley wrote about his experience with LSD?

[@Jymm]

@@lazykbys Wasn't exactly sure what he was doing Sounds right But I looked it up.... It was his psychedelic experience under the influence of mescaline.

[@cjames4478]

Another great reaction! Doctor Strange is my favorite avenger and you're my favorite reactor. Hope all is well keep em rolling in love your hair color as well. 💎

[@andelain]

Thank you! 🤍

[@Heegaherger]

The Sorcerer Supreme is basically tell Steven to body surf the magical currents. You have to surrender to the wave to ride it.

[@havok6280]

Stephen was name dropped in the Winter Soldier. He was one of the targets of the helicarriers.

[@gridlo]

Before that, it was dropped in Spider-Man 2.

[@andelain]

Oooh, I missed that!

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

BTW. I love the “good grief” exclamation. :-)

[@carlgibson285]

Doctor Strange is great, but honestly the Cloak Of Levitation is my favourite character in this movie.

[@alulolandulele7445]

😂😂😂im with you there!😭

[@rexmundi2986]

A seriously loyal piece of outerwear.

[@andelain]

Absolutely! 😂

[@DavidStebbins]

In the 1970s my brother let me read his Marvel Comics collection and Dr. Strange quickly became one of my favorite titles. I was very happy to see that when it was added to the MCU they captured the trippy, psychedelic tone of the comics, which harken back to its origins in the 1960s and 70s. I thought it was very well done and it became one of my favorite movies as well.

[@DavidStebbins]

I also wanted to add that, since I've grown older, the phrase "Pain's an old friend" hits harder every year.

[@Christian_Adonis1]

Yes, so to your question if he has more movies, he has one more solo and is in six movies all together.😊

[@Educated2Extinction]

I think wearing the broken watch was a reminder of his journey from self-centered ass to hero. I always thought Strange's comment that "We are made of matter, and nothing more" was a missed opportunity. We are made of matter and energy.

[@J_mped]

The blue hair slays I love it

[@andelain]

🤍

[@OnTheRocks71]

I think you could be a doctor or a nurse btw. The study is hard; but that's mostly memorization. The character, empathy, and work ethic are the hardest parts and what separates the good providers from the bad. Being able to just talk to people is a huge part of healthcare. No one wants to be in hospital, often times the staff don't want to be in hospital, but actually connecting in a provider-patient way....nothing better. There are other great qualities to being a good doctor or nurse, but I think a lot of the most important ones are already there in most people. It's kind of instinctual. For the most part, we want to help or jump into action when we see others in pain. Doing something amazing for a complete stranger, like saving their life, is a rush all its own.

[@artboymoy]

I like this movie a lot. I read Doctor Strange's early adventures as a kid and the idea and visuals were so well recreated here. Strange's origin is really a lot like Iron Man's Arrogant narcissus gets his comeuppance and becomes a better person. It's great to see the Inception VFX on steroids. Really gives the movie a unique feel. If you haven't noticed a lot of the Marvel movies have the hero go up against their evil opposite for their first go around. I think it's a tried and true storytelling device to convice the character what they believe in and who they want to be. Still a soilid first outtting for Mister Doctor.

[@250cchd54]

Ande!!! Love the Journey!!

[@fday1964]

Here in Colorado, I took an edible before seeing Dr Strange in 3D and on the Imax screen. Quite the experience, I must say. 😊

[@andelain]

😂

[@genkigirl4859]

I believe his name is Benadryl cucumberpatch

[@222inverter]

Benidicked cumberbatch

[@rexmundi2986]

I believe that's pronounced "cumberbund"

[@doug3691]

According to the math, Time can just as easily run forwards as well as backwards. Just don't know how yet, and it might only be for the very small.

[@Scott-hc8om]

New hair! COOL!

[@andelain]

🤍

[@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh]

I didnt know it until I saw this movie but Strange is actually a real last name. I believe alot of them are in the British aristocracy as well.

[@andelain]

Yeah, I've got a friend who's last name is Strange. It still seems strange though! 😂

[@19wulfy69]

So Dr. Strange's 1st appearance was on his own comic book in 1963. His comics were always a bit trippy. There actually is a Dr. Strange TV movie from 1978. 🤔 I don't know how hard it would be to find. I do know I've never seen anyone react to it. I still haven't watched your Hereditary reaction but when I do watch the movie I'll watch your reaction. Maybe a double feature tomorrow.

[@TerryAllenSwartos]

Mid-credits scenes; I’m still bummed that Mordo took away Pangborn’s ability to be healthy. With only a couple of words and no visual reveal, you recognized Thor/Chris Hemsworth with a cute little grin. That made me laugh. 😄

[@KevinBrown-lv2fk]

the out of focus elden ring box always looks like a smiling golden buddah to me 😊

[@andelain]

Haha

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

It rains in New York as well, An. ;-)

[@andelain]

Can't get away from the stuff!

[@accordgolfer]

Mister Doctor!!!

[@tommc4916]

Ande, it's a pair of Benedicts; Cumberbatch and Wong. 😃

[@andelain]

Ooh, a flock of Benedicts!

[@steved1135]

Nice. So, as a kid in the 80's, when my comic book collecting started, my top 3 were The Avengers, Moon Knight and Doctor Strange. I was very worried when I heard they were doing a Doctor Strange movie, as I couldn't imagine how they could pull it off. I'm so happy I was wrong. As in the books, Stranges' story is one of personal development and existential import. This is easily top 5 MCU for me. Still, there's no way they could do Moon Knight right.... :-) Like they couldn't possibly do justice to Blade either... :-)

[@abdullahqaderi1746]

Nice reaction waiting for next marvel timeline

[@bobbelleci9995]

I didn't know that! Regina George and Rachel McAdams DO look similar! But, I believe the winner is.... ta da... Rachel McAdams! 😊

[@gridlo]

Fun fact. Benedict cumberbatch, while filming in New York, visited a midtown comic book store in full costume just to blow minds 🤯

[@andelain]

Amazing!

[@blackshard641]

Dormammu, I've come to bargain.

[@andelain]

🤣

[@seriousleesgaming3042]

"How the hell did he survive that?" He wore his seatbelt and is in a movie, he'll be fine!

[@chudez]

In fairness, modern car safety systems are incredibly effective, requiring less plot armor than usual.

[@gallendugall8913]

Judging from your comment at the start you might have gotten the Marvel comics Dr Strange here confused with the DC comics Dr Strange who more recently goes by Hugo Strange with the "doctor" bit dropped even though he still is. Comics are weird.

[@ptsteelers]

Hot dog, another Ande/Marvel reaction!

[@ryanchad586]

Once you are done with the infiniti saga, would you consider reacting to a channel called Pitch Meeting and the comp vid they have for said saga

[@qasimraja2844]

[@powellhall9794]

😎👍

[@havok6280]

In the comics, The Ancient One is an old Tibetan man. The MCU changed it to appease China but then were accused of whitewashing.

[@nchw68]

5:19 That would be James Rhodes (War Machine). If you'll recall, Vision accidentally lasered him causing him to crash in the previous movie.

[@tommc4916]

That was actually the pilot of the Hammer Industries armor.

[@nchw68]

@@tommc4916 Yeah, after digging deeper it's definitely not Rhodes. The consensus is it's just a random guy.

[@williambranch4283]

Benedict C only ever plays a part of himself, but that is still interesting as a character in a story ;-) Welcome to the LSD of the MCU.

[@j_t_mc]

Great reaction. This one is a solid origin story but stacked up against the other films it's in the middle tier. You picked up the soldier with the injured spine on Strange's phone call, pretty sure that was the pilot in Hammer's attempt at re creating the Iron Man suit. We see him get twisted front to back when Tony's in Washington and hijacks the tvs in IM2.

[@havok6280]

It's only fair to judge this against other origin stories. If Iron Man and Guardians are at the top, this is just below that. It's much better than Thor or Captain America.

[@j_t_mc]

@@havok6280 I've got IM - TFA - GotG - Ant Man - DS - Thor - TIH. Judged against it's peers it's lower mid tier.

[@ANiceMarmot]

So... Nothing comes from the last end credit bit with Mordo and Pangborn. Nice setup as it was, as of this point, it goes absolutely nowhere.

[@havok6280]

First, spoilers. And second, that isn't true. Seems you missed some lines of dialog in an another movie.

[@noahrobin1941]

@ANiceMarmot yep, spoilers. In the interest of keeping Ande’s experience clean, could you please delete this comment?

[@Educated2Extinction]

Not everything does. Not everything has to. 😉
