One of my favourite parts of this movie was how Christine forgave Stephan for how he treated her, but they DIDN'T get back together. They're still friends but they aren't in a romantic relationship. I like that, it's different from a lot of other movies.
At first I thought I'd just write "It reminded me a lot of the Pepper Potts-Tony Stark dynamic from the first film as well. Pepper, like Christine, was VERY forgiving on Tony. The only difference is that Pepper and Tony ended up in bed together, and Christine and Stephen didn't." Then I realized that the RUclips zingers ask for something closer to "it's because he's a cripple." Now I'm confused and decided to write both. Choice is confusing.
Chris DeMore Didn't Tony explain it pretty thoroughly? "I was an ass to her, so she bolted. Now I'm making my post-Vision A.I. a red-head so I can always have a red-headed assistant... alive or post-life."
Finally! Someone who gets it! Just because a well known superhero has an opposite gender for a friend, doesn't mean they MUST be couple! I have a lot of female friends who I share no romantic interest in. That is the one thing in my list of what I like about Doctor Strange.
Actually, they did not go for the cheesy love story, which I really really appreciated. Both of them accepted that it wouldn't work between them, and they left it at that. Thank the Gods.
Pros: we don't get another "grounded love interest" like Jane Foster, who is generally more boring along with her fellow human friends compared to the cool, more interesting and badass magic people like Thor's warrior friends like Sif We might get Clea as a love interest, which is cool because she has powers and a somewhat interesting background, but she'll at least be more interesting than Doctor Girl (who is actually Night Nurse in the comics, or something) Cons: The female actor is even more flat, uninteresting, irrelevant, and wasted in the movie, now that she's not even a love interest
Grizzexploder Nah, you needed to show how Strange behaved in the real-world and plus, Rachel McAdam's character (AS the Night Nurse, btw) is somewhat important to show just how different Sorcerer Strange is to DR. Stephan.
Crash Bandicoot I liked the transition more in the animated movie. For example how he used magic to shave his awesome goatee... and the whole wiping the floor to earn his luxury stuff was awesome among many more awesome stuff. Check out the animation movie if you haven't.
Is that the one on Netflix? I'm not sure if there are multiple ones or not. I had started watching the animated one called "Dr Strange" on Netflix and it was kind of boring. I didn't finish it. I may need to go back.
They did try to explain why he was so fast to pick things up, it was a very quick and small scene. When his material body was sleeping he would use astral projection on himself to study the scriptures. So over time he would get double the work most others would not. Plus he also mention he has eidetic memory so he remembers everything even from a glance. Honestly I think all marvel superheros have that, they mentioned Captain America also has that, maybe Tony stark? Yeah so he may have picked up the spells quickly, but its kinda like surgery, he knows the theory behind it but he will only get better with practice. I think they also said that in the movie as well. He wasn't perfect or all powerful in the movie either, he made mistakes. In the extra scene with thor, that was a year or so into the future so it seemed he has honed his powers a bit more as well. He seemed more confident.
I feel like the major difference between him and Ironman is Strange wasn't making jokes he was making observations that just happened to be funny where as Tony was intentionally trying to make people laugh Strange was more pointing out how crazy things are
difference in stark and strange is the delevopment of the characters and how they deal with their problems. Tony Stark was charming in the beginning and he always will be, no matter what decision he makes we will always feel something for him often in his favor. Dr Strange on the other hand wasn't that likable in the beginning, I remember some people in the theater booing at him when he yelled at his friend. Then cheering on him when he makes the right decisions. He gave a more realistic feeling than Tony does.
I disagree on the Kaecilius point. I thought his motivation of wanting to end death was very touching when viewed in context with what happened to his family. And you can see with the "insignificant specks in an uncaring universe" line how that resonates with Strange. Also, how can you not remember Dormammu? That was probably the most repeated word in the whole movie with the time-bending scene
My issue wasn't with Kaecilius' motivation, it was with the lack of development surrounding his character. They should have shown him debating these issues with the Ancient One/Mordo, communicating with Dormmamu, or grieving with the memory of his lost family.
I think I would have liked a bit more backstory, and seen exactly what pushed him to that point. It wasn't really touched upon, like I didn't even catch the fact that his whole family had died or something, but now that I know that I appreciate him more.
X-Men are never gonna go back to Marvel, the Fox movies are more often than not kinda lame, but they always make money and continue to show promise for future films as opposed to say what happened to Spiderman starting with 3 or The Fantastic Four. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel gets the rights to Fantastic Four back relatively soon.
Use Doctor Strange's abilities to cross over the multiverse barrier into the X-men realm and bring back Wolverine, Deadpool, Professor X, Magneto, and a few others for Infinity War. Behind the scenes, hopefully Fox will somehow agree one day to let legit Marvel writers handle new X-men movies, and Fantastic Four movies, instead of the messes they put out. The X-men and Avengers need not occupy the same "New York" / same universe, anyway, even if Marvel starts making them. Keep them apart, in different dimensions, but part of the big multiverse, and certain huge events will bring them all together.
I loved that too with him and Wong. Futher down Wong was like "...." then Strange goes "Don't tell me you never heard of Beyonce?". Wong continues to be like "....". Later on Wong is listening to Beyonce and jamming out to it. Lol.
I didn't realise that trope until I read your comment... o_O Though it's not the ONLY movie from Marvel like this, Red Skull and Malekith are also non-related...
The point of his hands shaking was that he COULD use magic to fix them, but chose not to. IT shows self-restraint and self-sacrifice for the first time in his life. The ancient one used magic to prolong her life, and the dude that sets Dr Strange on his path is constantly using magic for selfish reasons (fixing his spine). Dr. Strange encountered both these people and saw their choices and where they lead them and decided he didn't like what was at the end of those paths. His whole life had been selfish and his path to becoming a magician granted him the wisdom to not make the same mistakes.
I think the difference between ironman and doctor strange is that doctor strange is super diciplined Hard working and WANTING to change and learn and get better while pushing himself as far as possible while tony seems kind of self destructing and scared of change and needs someone elses help to push him and make sure he takes care of himself
Well frankly I saw no similarities to Iron Man and DR. Strange. Evil villains take a page of master sorceroess in hopes to achieve immortality. Dr. Strange was a expert surgeon with a fixed income that worked on the impossible. When he was given another task he gets into a freak car accident that caused major nerve damage. Not accepting this Strange spent all of his money on procedures that wouldn't work and shunned those close to him. He spent the last on a trip to Katamandu on finding about a guy surviving a impossible nerve damage issue that got treatment there. Strange encounters the same sorceress from the opnening and is shown "magic" Strange wants to stay but is kicked out only to be kept and finds himself in a clash between good VS evil. At first Strange doesn't want to get involved but is shown morally why he should and does fight for good. Iron Man Stark built weapons and didn't care and was making bank. When severely injured and taken hostage he finds out his weapons are being used for evil. He fixes his wound and builds means to escape and escapes by creating a weaponized armor. He goes back home inspired to create means to stop his own weapons from being used by terrorists helmed by his own company. In a nut shell if you read carefully you'll notice how the two have different morals, achieve their goals, and what the villains want to achieve.
I felt that Stephen Strange's humor is much different than Stark's. With Stark, he is just really snarky. But Strange is one of those people that try, maybe too hard, to get people to laugh (ex. the whole Wong scene).
HISHE please make the after ending of doctor strange HISHE from the scene doctor strange confront dormammu and said, "dormammu you need to subscribe" multiple times until dormammu gets tired of it and said "fine i'll subscribe"
tenjek An army indeed but honestly, I am happy they went that way. Dr Strange is all about those visuals ! I am hoping for 3D and a lot of WTF scenes with other heroes... Am I the only one who got excited that Locki vs Dr Strange is happening in the future ?
For a Doctor Strange HISHE, you should totally have the scene where Strange is like "Dormammu! I've come to bargain!" And the time loop keeps going, until they're playing Monopoly and laughing together. And Dormammu is like, "Your turn!" and the time loop starts over again, and Strange flies over and studies the board, then looks up and says, "Dormammu, I've come to bargain." *dies laughing* It would be hilarious! Please? Please?? PLEASE?!
How Doctor Strange Should Have Ended Doctor Strange: "Dormammu, I've come to bargain!" Dormammu: *destroys the eye of agamotto so he can't time loop anymore* Doctor Strange: "Well, crap." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (After they've defeated Dormammu and Kaecilius) Doctor Strange: "Mordo, aren't you mad that the Ancient One was pulling power from the Dark Dimension, and I used the eye of agamotto to reverse time and stuff?" Mordo: "What do you mean? We just saved billions from a life of endless torment from the Dark Dimension. Why on earth would I be mad?" Doctor Strange: "Oh, I guess for some reason I thought you would go crazy and try and rid the world of sorcerers, but whatever." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (After the credits) Wang: *whips out his music player and everyone starts dancing to Beyonce like bosses, because why not*
i like how you wounderfully point out how stupid marvels change of mordos character at the end was, like yeah he is a bad guy in the comics, but i was looking forward to a good guy mordo who goes vigilante or something or at least as a long story arc to the bad side not o im bad now cause plot device.
jayjayx5x1 actually I loved what they did with Mordo. He is a straight to business guy who always follows the rules. He has always been looking through the keyhole rather than opening the door. However when it was revealed the ancient one stole from the dark dimension his whole world went sideways,the best person he knew broke the laws of magic he didn't know what was right anymore so at the end when Strange defeated Dormammu via the eye of agamotto the door was forcefully broken revealing to him the truth that he didn't want to see. Even though he and Strange shared the aim to save the world he believed the right way was to fight(not knowing everyone would be slaughtered) . He didn't believe in Strange's methods because he broke the laws of magic. This is what made Mordo the bad guy he believes now that all the sorcerers are the evil and that he was put on this earth go cleanse it of evil starting with every sorcerer. In fact one could say Mordo isn't exactly a villain because he is trying to do the right thing yet by doing so he is killing hundreds
Ruben Cabral my issue isn't that they made him a bad guy, but they rushed it, logically he would start with the mages that were somewhat bad or slightly evil not a guy just trying to live out his life in peace.
I'm going to be a slight bit of a nerd and explain 2 things about the Ancient one, as I see them, and 1 thing about Doctor Strange's personality (MY VIEW, NOT CANON): 1."the Ancient One" is a title, not a person, just like "supreme wizard". She was ONE ancient one, not the only ancient one. 2. The Ancient one owns the book of Vishanti, and that is a huge clue to her agelessness and "tapping into" the other dimension; the Vishanti are 3 benign gods of the other dimensions, who bestow blessings and power on the worthy. Now, the fact that the Ancient one has the book and the symbol of Vishanti is littered around the place means that it is at least probable that she is blessed by the Vishanti, who have given her immortality so that she can train wizards to protect the world. Considering the fact that she is so old, AND many students are shown at the temple and yet during the film it is said that few "make it" (some leave like the guy who cured himself, some go evil, many more just die as during the course of the film), it is easy to see how training wizards just to watch them die, fall to the wayside - or worse, turn against all she believes in- must be a terrible burden, one that she would not recommend. In fact, it seems likely that she didn't really want to do it in the first place and had that duty thrust upon her not unlike what happened to Doctor Strange. The fact that she actually is able to postpone her death to watch the snow implies the possibility that she might have lived had she chosen to do so, but quite simply had decided to let go, especially now that there is someone she believes can take her place. All in all, it's a good character I wish they had explored more, and considering the flexibility of death in comic books, I would welcome further appearances. 3. Doctor Strange used to be a good guy, he didn't start off as a jerk. He became a doctor to save his sister but when he faild he turned callous and selfish, only operating for money so as to avoid any emotional connection with his patients. So in a way the journey of self discovery wasn't what "made him" a good man, it reminded him that he was one to start with, it broke the curse he had cast on himself.
It's Vishanti.Gosh,it's painful to see your spelling mistakes.And the three gods of Vishanti have their own dimension,they are pure white magic! (The comic book Ancient One's long life is indeed their blessing though)Dormmamu and Umar are the two rulers of dark dimension. The Book of Vishanti is a book about white magic as opposed to Darkhold about black magic. The book in the movie is about time. Why do you think Agammoto, Hoggoth ,Oshtur dwell in dark dimension anyway? Sorry for being so harsh.
tenjek true, which further confirms that the film makers were not simply changing the gender of the Ancient one, but providing a whole new Ancient One. The thoughbt that she might have been a Druid or Ovate in her youth is a cool idea, I really wish they had explored her character further.
Simon Shephard Sorry for any typos, I wrote from my phone, with the setting on my original language so lots of autocorrects etc to boot! Like I said, they are "good" gods, it's just a little theory I have as it would really fit nicely with the character's story.
The Ancient One was drawing power from the dark dimension only so she could stay alive longer in order to fight the crazy battles and save the world from evil forces. Let's be honest, no one else had the magical capability she did (until Doctor Strange, so in a sense he replaces her.)
I know it's marvel and we all stay until the end of the credits, but sadly a lot of people don't really... READ the credits, heck, I often take my 3DS to kill tim while the second scene comes
I enjoyed this movie incredibly! I went to see it Thursday before the world release and got there 2 hours early... When the movie began, there were literally only 20 other people in the theater... It was a little disappointing... BUT WE GOT THE BEST SEATS EVER!! :D
Not gonna happen, they went out of there way YET AGAIN to compare magic to advanced science (computer programming this time). For some reason MCU is absolutely terrified of the idea of magic, and run shaking in their booties every time it's brought up.
DugFin2 ugh, she The Ancient One was dumbung herself down so Strange could understand the comparison. Magic is straight up reality bending in this...which if magic existed for real, That's exactly what it would be...reality bending. It was not advanced tech at all...there were dimensions, cloak of levitation, spells, and reality being altered and bent. Did you not watch the film?
I definitely agree with you on the Netflix idea. This very well could be an entire series on its own. This movie's plot felt rushed. His life and relationships before crashing his car, his struggle coping with that incident, his training with the monks, his preparation to face his ultimate enemy, and the ultimate conflict itself. All could have used a lot more time to fully flesh them out and show character development. It's very similiar to the Avatar: The Last Airbender. Doctor Strange could used a full series too. So netflix original series or some other network hopeful indeed.
You don't want to see the original comic, then. The entire origin before he has a grasp on power is a complete flashback that minimises the worth of the story, and the painful clichés within make the film look like an unrivalled original. I like comics, but his first origin comic was painful...
Yes, that ties into what I'm saying. The movie is supposed to take place over a course of a year, but there's a BIG difference between hypothetical studied knowledge, and real life experienced knowledge. You can study a book all you want, but until you experience a fight in person you don't truly know how to handle it. There's just nooo way he could suddenly do so well against and even defeat that master student you had been both training AND fighting for sooo much longer than him. Even if Strange is a natural prodigy. That's why I'm saying that this hero could use an entire show and series just decidated to his life before becoming a sorcery and training during it. If he'd had multiple battles and trials first, THEN it makes a lot more sense for him to beat dormu.
I thought it was a solid film, 9/10. The visuals were terrific, the humor was used well, and the cast did a fine job, with Cumberbatch feeling like a perfect match for Strange. The story was extremely similar to "Iron Man" and "Batman Begins," but that was inevitable, and they did well with adding distinct touches to it. I do wish they wouldn't have brushed over Kaecilius and Dormammu, but I get what they were doing with them. Kaecilius was a dark doppelganger to Strange, a broken, proud man who looked for truth in the wrong places. Also, I liked how instead of making Dormammu a generic ghoulish monster, they made him a timeless evil essence who can't be truly beat, he can only be contained. That said, I'm looking forward to what the future will bring for Dr. Strange. It's clear going forward that he'll be crucial to the MCU (he's already in "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Avengers: Infinity War"). And if they keep it up with Mordo, Mordo could be the next "Loki" of the MCU, a complex, recurring, and understandable villain.
madison brown it was fairly obvious if you think about it. It's a small green stone that controls time, and we haven't seen an infinity stone that's green or has the power of time manipulation until now. I'm a huge comic geek though so I was expecting it to be a stone even before I knew what it did or what it looked like :P
MethosOhio it didn't feel rushed at all to me. It was just the right pace to fit in all the action and I for one didn't want to watch Doctor strange in class questioning the teacher and sitting in his room reading books.
Especially at the beginning when we are Introduced to Stephen Strange And with him Losing the ability to Lose his hands. Hopefully there will be some deleted scenes that show us how he struggles with that. But other than that great film 10/10.
It doesn't need to be 8 hours, but The Avengers for instance was almost half an hour longer. So, they would have been well within the range of acceptable length had they added some more interaction with the master or scale to the training.
One big difference is those sling rings don't exist in the comics. He could open those portals just fine on his own. Also he wasn't turned away by the Ancient One. He was pre-destined to be the next Sorcerer Supreme and The Ancient One knew it . He was showing hints of magical potential before even hurting his hands. He could see through glamour spells that he wasn't supposed to. You get a more comic book accurate version in the 2007 animated Doctor Strange movie (which is woefully under-rated, by the way).
Good points. Only thing I don't agree on is the animated movie -- I think a long-time fan of the comics might enjoy it, but someone who never read the comics? I don't think it quite lives up to hte potential.
Amanda Pike Well, besides taking the films in a different direction than the comics (which also gives comics fans something new to experience other than what they already know), I think some of those choices were just for drama. If he could open a portal at any time, it lessons the tension, but if he needs an object to do it (which can be lost or stolen), it ups the potential tension of events that unfold. Also, maybe we will find out in a later film that he DID already show signs of being the Sorcerer Supreme, through flashbacks.
Oh, I showed the animated film to a lot of non-comic fans and they loved it, granted it's a LOT more blunt and detailed about the magick and why Doctor Strange was such a jerk. In fact that backstory about his kid sister would have really fit well here.
I hav ea more cynical suspicion that the rings were added so they could tell the Chinese distributors "It's totally alien tech and not the supernatural, we swear!"
Amanda Pike Ha! Actually, you may have a point there. Just like they downplayed Thor and Loki as just being much more advanced in technology, rather than actual gods, then it makes sense to do a similar thing with Dr. Strange. It makes them more palatable to a wider audience.
I paused at 7:26 because I heard all I needed to hear! Texting and driving will make a superhero, so God damnit, that's what I'm going to do!! I'll continue the rest of the video once I'm done speeding down the highway and thanking HISHE on twitter for making me a superhero #weeklyplanetexclusive
Dudes I recommend for the how should have ended To do the part when he plays with the apple with the agamoto eye You should do something like "Um this thing makes objects to look better with the time travel and shit, maybe I should use it with my watch that broke or even my hands, instead of an apple or this dangerous book" You now something like that
I honestly thought he was going to say "it's also teaching teens that texting and driving will get metal pins in your hands. And your ex-girlfriend back. Win-win."
Deadpool is shit, completely average movie (at best) with a generic story, even for superhero standards it's nothing special. idk why some people praise it
Deconstruction, parody, humor. Just like with Drax, the joke went over your head, and you missed the point exactly. Deadpool is never gonna have an completely original story with twists and turns you'll never see coming, it isn't about epic tales or unforgettable villains. It's all a joke with the industry, be it comic books, or comic book movies.
Deadpool takes on the superhero sub-genre and spins it on its head, similarly to what Madoka Magica did with Mahou Shoujo Anime. Being self-aware of the common tropes and expectations of a given genre, and subverting them and what's generally expected from the more generic, regular works of fiction are what constitute a work of deconstruction, I believe.
Doctor Strange Hishe idea; when Hannibal Lector and his minions come out of the sling ring portal at the end to begin the final fight, they should get hit by a car as soon as they walk out. I just thought that they were going to when I saw the movie.
Honestly loved all the pop star names. Just him listing them to wang. "Bono? Drake? Kanye? Beyonce?" The scene with Dormmamu though it reminded me of Heaven Sent that episode with the 12th doctor and then I got so sad because that episode he kept dying over and over and then he wouldnt know and the time would get longer and longer "120,000 years into the future" "800,000 years into the future." "1 million years into the future." "2 billion years into the future." AND THE SKULLS IN THE WATER WHY sorry off topic
+retnavybrat 1:16 timey wimey 2:25 "what did you think about The Doctor" and then a picture of David Tennant looking out of the TARDIS - come on, how could you missed THAT
It's weird, but I'm positive that Tilda Swinton was heavily inspired by the spoon bender kid from the Matrix. It's really weird when you think about it. Tilda Swinton is known for her androgynous beauty. She has played male characters 'til this day. Everything about her performance of the ancient one, from her shaved head to her voice, looks and sound a lot like that one kid! Even the goddamn robes
adderous Tilda's amazing in everything she's in. I want to see her in more blockbuster films! Marvel's always snagging talent and using them for only ONE movie -- that's painful! I hope we get to see the Ancient One in more of these Marvel mystics films. And even better, cameos on Netflix.
OMG! This is the best movie review EVER! I laughed so hard ...people at work gave me weird looks. This is my new favorite guy to do movie reviews. I request MORE REVIEWS!!!
So funny story... I read your comment wrong and thought you said Superman instead of Spiderman and I was like... Superman already came out bruh, like in 2013 duh. But then I read the comment again and now I totally agree!
They should've showed more about Kaecilius and his motivation to his actions. I believe they only said he went to Kamar-Taj because he lost his loved ones, and then he explains to Dr. Strange that time is the enemy because it kills everything. Because of that rush in telling his story, we just think he's evil, and how can he be evil if he wants everyone to live forever?
he's "evil" because he found out that the ancient was using dark universe power and he wanted to do the same so she banned him. Our side vs their side, simple.
Kat Rockenbach he isn't evil in his mind. He thinks he is saving the world. His motivation are actually very clear. They mention how he lost his entire family. And then he discovers the ancient one has been using dark magic. Decided to do the same. Dormamu tells him, he can make everyone immortal.
I wanted to see more of his story to, I agree. I'm a big fan of relatable villains, and I think his motivations are actually not all that bad. Depending on your views, time really is the enemy of all life. The problem is that he was willing to solve that problem by letting a malevolent entity get control of earth, and depending on what he's like that could be a worse fate. Sort of like solving the problem of death by letting hell take over earth. But, he clearly means well, and I think his side should have been explored more than it was. There's more to it than "he's the bad guy," even though it felt a bit like that.
NeoKnight _ Well, as far as I can tell, Strange still hasn't referred to themselves as Facial Hair bros asside for that one small moment in Invincible Iron Man. That's only Stark
As everyone seems to rush to RUclips and post their various review/reaction vids, the HISHE style sets this one apart. Which is nice. Looking forward to your next Villain Pub...
@@louiseserrayh780 Right now I can't think of any instance where Strange himself drove after the accident. And besides, the car was totalled. There is no way he's driving that one again.
Mariama Joazard Yes I saw it the day after its release(in 3d) and its definetly in my top 5 or 6 mcu movies.And the new marvel intro/logo is so good,when I saw it for the first time I jizzed everywhere
Goodmorning, I've been a HISHE fan for a few years now, subscribing today for the first time (all this crazy, having a gmail gives you a RUclips account whaaaaaaaaaa next it'll be reusable pears) partially because of this video, mostly because I love the show. HISHE has never failed to both; crack me up, and drop my jaw at suddenly realized serious movie plot holes. I love the animation, the humor, and level of dedication you all obviously put into your work. I want to say six, It feels like six years since I started watching, and I've never been disappointed or let down. Infact I usually know I've found a friend, if they smile when I mention HISHE. Again just a casual viewer of the show, please, keep up the good work.
So, my cinema advertised that the movie wasn't over until the lights were turned back on again, and me and my friend was like, "finally! They are making sure people stay to watch the post ending credits!" But then the lights turned on after the FIRST end credits, and I was like, "wait, aren't there always two?" and my friend was like, "Not always. I suppose that's why they are telling us this beforehand, so we don't have to stay through the credits for nothing.." And everyone was leaving, so we left as well, and did not get to see the end end credits... and now I am crying.
7:30 man. that message and the way you said it was really uplifting and really motivated me to not be consumed by fear. I know you wont read this Hishe Man, but you can be a great motivational speaker. looking forward to the next episode of the Villain Pub Exposed. :)
I really really really liked Doctor Strange. Wasn't expecting as much humor as it had, and that was a pleasant surprise. The effects were amazing. The acting was top notch. The storyline was...pretty good. Much better than most I've seen come through these superhero movies. Thanks for your review, mr HISHE. I seriously wait on pins and needles for everything you guys release. You are masters at this art!
Hate how some people were bashing it because it 'wasn't funny' and "its not as good as the other movies". First of all, It's called dry humor, something apparently tons of people didn't understand. Second of all, ITS A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF THE MCU. Get it out of your fat heads. Three, yes, they whitewashed. Could they have handled that better? HELL YES. As an asian does it make me mad? Hell YES. Does it mean you shouldn't at least give it a chance before bashing it? LIKE SERIOUSLY.
Need to have the Asian master, train the white protagonist so that we can show white people in the end are better at everything then Asians. I mean no matter what you do some person is going to complain about race, so yawn.
I love these reviews! Please keep at it, you're really good at it as well on top of your awesome animation and voice-work! Regarding the film itself, I think seeing how the last Infinity Gem worked was a bit overdue around these parts. So I'm glad they covered that. Yay inter-dimensional travel! Also, maybe all of this was in Strange's head before he died? Like, just like all of Guardians of the Galaxy is in Star Lord's mind since he got institutionalized and had a plant and a pet racoon next to his over-satured kid-like undeveloped 80s childhood that was high on Star Wars, Marvel Comics (by way of Jim Starlin), and Kevin Bacon & Alyssa Milano (even though that could be a bit of a confusion -- remember I'm not saying he never understood the world after the 80s, just that he never grew out of that mindset and is hallucinating everything to make sense out of the death of his mom and his absent dad, yes even Bautista's charater is just the patient next-door who's suffering from some experimental form of aphasia).
Those final thoughts on the message of the movie were awesome. If you would pull the message out of the movie like that more often, it would be one more reason why I love you guys!
DamagedSave because instead of having an epic battle, Strange uses his wits to defeat Dormammu. He doesn't even fight in the end. He just bargains with Dormammu, and let's himself be killed over and over, and instead of punchin' thinks it through before requesting before encountering him
+DamagedSave I think he means how unlike most superhero movies that are wrapped up in a nice bow at the end, Strange still hasn't fixed his hands at the end of the film, one of his new friends (mordo) has abandoned him, and turned evil, and he doesn't exactly get the girl
Yeah nice, that is pretty cool Still devolves into, got the big bad guy, smaller bad guys disappear and the they skirt over the damage. Certainly a step in the right direction though
Thanks for this review and all your awesome videos! I like your sum-up that Strange will probably always be fighting this battle with his ego, but will hopefully do some good too.
I really think you are awesome!! Best reviews and your jokes make these videos not boring. I like that you are not a comic book know it all and you don't go to details about the character origins and staff! Keep up the good work! Best channel on RUclips! (Sorry for my English but you got the point)
7:30 - 7:52 indeed! Yeah as a psychologist I really liked that message about not really being able to toss our traumas and fetters away, but rather rising above them. Although it definitley happens that some people really grow out of selfishness in a few critical forms, as they simply grow into a degree of appreciating helping other people until they/we lose interest in the more petty or fear-based selfish wants that humans often grow up with.

One of my favourite parts of this movie was how Christine forgave Stephan for how he treated her, but they DIDN'T get back together. They're still friends but they aren't in a romantic relationship. I like that, it's different from a lot of other movies.
At first I thought I'd just write "It reminded me a lot of the Pepper Potts-Tony Stark dynamic from the first film as well. Pepper, like Christine, was VERY forgiving on Tony. The only difference is that Pepper and Tony ended up in bed together, and Christine and Stephen didn't."
Then I realized that the RUclips zingers ask for something closer to "it's because he's a cripple."
Now I'm confused and decided to write both. Choice is confusing.
Navid Haider 'cept pepper just kinda dissapeared without explanation....
Chris DeMore Didn't Tony explain it pretty thoroughly? "I was an ass to her, so she bolted. Now I'm making my post-Vision A.I. a red-head so I can always have a red-headed assistant... alive or post-life."
Navid Haider hmm, thank you, i guess i didnt remember that
Finally! Someone who gets it! Just because a well known superhero has an opposite gender for a friend, doesn't mean they MUST be couple! I have a lot of female friends who I share no romantic interest in. That is the one thing in my list of what I like about Doctor Strange.
Actually, they did not go for the cheesy love story, which I really really appreciated. Both of them accepted that it wouldn't work between them, and they left it at that.
Thank the Gods.
Yeah McAdams was pretty good.
Pros: we don't get another "grounded love interest" like Jane Foster, who is generally more boring along with her fellow human friends compared to the cool, more interesting and badass magic people like Thor's warrior friends like Sif
We might get Clea as a love interest, which is cool because she has powers and a somewhat interesting background, but she'll at least be more interesting than Doctor Girl (who is actually Night Nurse in the comics, or something)
Cons: The female actor is even more flat, uninteresting, irrelevant, and wasted in the movie, now that she's not even a love interest
Grizzexploder Nah, you needed to show how Strange behaved in the real-world and plus, Rachel McAdam's character (AS the Night Nurse, btw) is somewhat important to show just how different Sorcerer Strange is to DR. Stephan.
I assure you they're gonna revisit that topic in future instalments. Because you know, they just can't stay just a little bit original.
my sister is a nurse and is really mad at the love interest for breaking every rule

*that moment he stole the books with the portal*
especially that part when wong's listening to Beyonce
Wong didn't know who Beyonce was tho lol
nabhan qureshi thats what made it funny
Lol true
I died at that point. 😂
anyone else notice Wong's name was actually Benedict Wong.
I did LOL, knowing that is extra funny when you recall in your memory when Strange asks him "just Wong?".
l KOW
its actually pronounced Beyonce
What's weirder is the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch said the line. To Benedict Wong.
My only complaint with the movie was that the training montage should have been longer. Besides that, I liked it a lot.
I agree-Strange had a lot of trouble conjuring anything at all, I'd have liked to see him achieve a little more.
I felt like the progression for Dr Strange was too fast. Maybe something like "5 years later..." or similar could've worked.
Crash Bandicoot I liked the transition more in the animated movie. For example how he used magic to shave his awesome goatee... and the whole wiping the floor to earn his luxury stuff was awesome among many more awesome stuff. Check out the animation movie if you haven't.
Is that the one on Netflix? I'm not sure if there are multiple ones or not. I had started watching the animated one called "Dr Strange" on Netflix and it was kind of boring. I didn't finish it. I may need to go back.
They did try to explain why he was so fast to pick things up, it was a very quick and small scene. When his material body was sleeping he would use astral projection on himself to study the scriptures. So over time he would get double the work most others would not. Plus he also mention he has eidetic memory so he remembers everything even from a glance. Honestly I think all marvel superheros have that, they mentioned Captain America also has that, maybe Tony stark? Yeah so he may have picked up the spells quickly, but its kinda like surgery, he knows the theory behind it but he will only get better with practice. I think they also said that in the movie as well. He wasn't perfect or all powerful in the movie either, he made mistakes. In the extra scene with thor, that was a year or so into the future so it seemed he has honed his powers a bit more as well. He seemed more confident.
I feel like the major difference between him and Ironman is Strange wasn't making jokes he was making observations that just happened to be funny where as Tony was intentionally trying to make people laugh Strange was more pointing out how crazy things are
difference in stark and strange is the delevopment of the characters and how they deal with their problems. Tony Stark was charming in the beginning and he always will be, no matter what decision he makes we will always feel something for him often in his favor.
Dr Strange on the other hand wasn't that likable in the beginning, I remember some people in the theater booing at him when he yelled at his friend. Then cheering on him when he makes the right decisions. He gave a more realistic feeling than Tony does.
Sherlock Holmes
I disagree on the Kaecilius point. I thought his motivation of wanting to end death was very touching when viewed in context with what happened to his family. And you can see with the "insignificant specks in an uncaring universe" line how that resonates with Strange.
Also, how can you not remember Dormammu? That was probably the most repeated word in the whole movie with the time-bending scene
Grant Baugh Yea he thought what he was doing was a good thing to save the world
I wish they had pushed it a little more, but the scene where he's bound was one of the best villain moments in my opinion.
My issue wasn't with Kaecilius' motivation, it was with the lack of development surrounding his character. They should have shown him debating these issues with the Ancient One/Mordo, communicating with Dormmamu, or grieving with the memory of his lost family.
I think I would have liked a bit more backstory, and seen exactly what pushed him to that point. It wasn't really touched upon, like I didn't even catch the fact that his whole family had died or something, but now that I know that I appreciate him more.
Kristi Bledsoe it's mentioned very briefly as the reason that he came to the ancient one. he had lost his whole family so went to obtain peace
"FOX, I've Come To Bargain!" - Kevin Feige
FOX: TAKE YOUR X-MEN & FANTASTIC FOUR AND FREE ME FROM THIS.
Dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂
X-Men are never gonna go back to Marvel, the Fox movies are more often than not kinda lame, but they always make money and continue to show promise for future films as opposed to say what happened to Spiderman starting with 3 or The Fantastic Four. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel gets the rights to Fantastic Four back relatively soon.
I've come to bargain
Use Doctor Strange's abilities to cross over the multiverse barrier into the X-men realm and bring back Wolverine, Deadpool, Professor X, Magneto, and a few others for Infinity War.
Behind the scenes, hopefully Fox will somehow agree one day to let legit Marvel writers handle new X-men movies, and Fantastic Four movies, instead of the messes they put out.
The X-men and Avengers need not occupy the same "New York" / same universe, anyway, even if Marvel starts making them. Keep them apart, in different dimensions, but part of the big multiverse, and certain huge events will bring them all together.
"Try me, Beyonce!" I love that quote from the movie.
I loved that too with him and Wong. Futher down Wong was like "...." then Strange goes "Don't tell me you never heard of Beyonce?". Wong continues to be like "....". Later on Wong is listening to Beyonce and jamming out to it. Lol.
Naclyn Erick II that was my favorite part of the movie
I quite liked that the bad guy didn't have an unlikely past connection to the hero for once
I didn't realise that trope until I read your comment... o_O Though it's not the ONLY movie from Marvel like this, Red Skull and Malekith are also non-related...
Well I see what you're saying, I also think that the enmity between Doctor Strange and casilius (?) could have been better justified.
The point of his hands shaking was that he COULD use magic to fix them, but chose not to. IT shows self-restraint and self-sacrifice for the first time in his life. The ancient one used magic to prolong her life, and the dude that sets Dr Strange on his path is constantly using magic for selfish reasons (fixing his spine). Dr. Strange encountered both these people and saw their choices and where they lead them and decided he didn't like what was at the end of those paths. His whole life had been selfish and his path to becoming a magician granted him the wisdom to not make the same mistakes.
I think Doctor Strange could have done both. And that the paraplegic guy just wanted his old life back.
Is one selfish because one chooses to heal oneself?
Viral innoculations would have been considered magic in the elder days.
Epok finally! I was looking for someone to bring this up, the fact that his hands are still shaking adds depth to the story
Yup, that is why he is my favorite superhero besides Cap
I think the difference between ironman and doctor strange is that doctor strange is super diciplined Hard working and WANTING to change and learn and get better while pushing himself as far as possible while tony seems kind of self destructing and scared of change and needs someone elses help to push him and make sure he takes care of himself
Well frankly I saw no similarities to Iron Man and DR. Strange. Evil villains take a page of master sorceroess in hopes to achieve immortality. Dr. Strange was a expert surgeon with a fixed income that worked on the impossible. When he was given another task he gets into a freak car accident that caused major nerve damage. Not accepting this Strange spent all of his money on procedures that wouldn't work and shunned those close to him. He spent the last on a trip to Katamandu on finding about a guy surviving a impossible nerve damage issue that got treatment there. Strange encounters the same sorceress from the opnening and is shown "magic" Strange wants to stay but is kicked out only to be kept and finds himself in a clash between good VS evil. At first Strange doesn't want to get involved but is shown morally why he should and does fight for good. Iron Man Stark built weapons and didn't care and was making bank. When severely injured and taken hostage he finds out his weapons are being used for evil. He fixes his wound and builds means to escape and escapes by creating a weaponized armor. He goes back home inspired to create means to stop his own weapons from being used by terrorists helmed by his own company.
In a nut shell if you read carefully you'll notice how the two have different morals, achieve their goals, and what the villains want to achieve.
Naclyn Erick II Yeah, you're right
T
fuck off
Vickey Mecrive i like the way you see it
I felt that Stephen Strange's humor is much different than Stark's. With Stark, he is just really snarky. But Strange is one of those people that try, maybe too hard, to get people to laugh (ex. the whole Wong scene).
Thats exactly what I thought
I completely agree
TheNintenBits Beyonce
TheNintenBits You chose the Wong scene.
Mr. Sizzle ;)
Who is large enough to date Dormamu?

HEYOOOH
Dammit, I actually laughed.

SAVAGE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
HISHE please make the after ending of doctor strange HISHE from the scene doctor strange confront dormammu and said, "dormammu you need to subscribe" multiple times until dormammu gets tired of it and said "fine i'll subscribe"
yes!
HISHE I have come to bargain!
Good movie but the video might be a little problem because some people are going to be mad because it going to make the roun the movie for them
crystal dragon Ppl should be listening to the spoiler warnings. Plus this is a review it is so obviously going to have spoilers
Man the special effects. Check out the credits. there is a literal army of s/fx people
yeah, i noticed that aswell
tenjek An army indeed but honestly, I am happy they went that way. Dr Strange is all about those visuals ! I am hoping for 3D and a lot of WTF scenes with other heroes... Am I the only one who got excited that Locki vs Dr Strange is happening in the future ?
tenjek that scene. All I could think is "this is your brain on drugs"
"What did you think about the special effects?
They were OFF... THE... CHAIN!
I know I promised not to say that, but... I lied."
With a new librarian, nothing could go Wong.
Lol
Dormammu.... I have come to bargain
Epic scene!
And it was Benedict Cumberbatch talking to Benedict Cumberbatch - haha.
Which one ? I can think at least 10 scenes like that
Old Poppy was op
The one where he died.
Brobot 500 which one?
Apparently Dan Harmon had a hand in writing that scene.
For a Doctor Strange HISHE, you should totally have the scene where Strange is like "Dormammu! I've come to bargain!" And the time loop keeps going, until they're playing Monopoly and laughing together. And Dormammu is like, "Your turn!" and the time loop starts over again, and Strange flies over and studies the board, then looks up and says, "Dormammu, I've come to bargain." *dies laughing* It would be hilarious! Please? Please?? PLEASE?!
How Doctor Strange Should Have Ended
Doctor Strange: "Dormammu, I've come to bargain!"
Dormammu: *destroys the eye of agamotto so he can't time loop anymore*
Doctor Strange: "Well, crap."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(After they've defeated Dormammu and Kaecilius)
Doctor Strange: "Mordo, aren't you mad that the Ancient One was pulling power from the Dark Dimension, and I used the eye of agamotto to reverse time and stuff?"
Mordo: "What do you mean? We just saved billions from a life of endless torment from the Dark Dimension. Why on earth would I be mad?"
Doctor Strange: "Oh, I guess for some reason I thought you would go crazy and try and rid the world of sorcerers, but whatever."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(After the credits)
Wang: *whips out his music player and everyone starts dancing to Beyonce like bosses, because why not*
technically it was an infinity stone, and I don't think infinity stones can be destroyed that easily
i like how you wounderfully point out how stupid marvels change of mordos character at the end was, like yeah he is a bad guy in the comics, but i was looking forward to a good guy mordo who goes vigilante or something or at least as a long story arc to the bad side not o im bad now cause plot device.
jayjayx5x1 thank you
jayjayx5x1 actually I loved what they did with Mordo. He is a straight to business guy who always follows the rules. He has always been looking through the keyhole rather than opening the door. However when it was revealed the ancient one stole from the dark dimension his whole world went sideways,the best person he knew broke the laws of magic he didn't know what was right anymore so at the end when Strange defeated Dormammu via the eye of agamotto the door was forcefully broken revealing to him the truth that he didn't want to see. Even though he and Strange shared the aim to save the world he believed the right way was to fight(not knowing everyone would be slaughtered) . He didn't believe in Strange's methods because he broke the laws of magic. This is what made Mordo the bad guy he believes now that all the sorcerers are the evil and that he was put on this earth go cleanse it of evil starting with every sorcerer. In fact one could say Mordo isn't exactly a villain because he is trying to do the right thing yet by doing so he is killing hundreds
Ruben Cabral
my issue isn't that they made him a bad guy, but they rushed it, logically he would start with the mages that were somewhat bad or slightly evil not a guy just trying to live out his life in peace.
T-Teseract
H-???
A-Aether
N-Necklace
O-Orb

TheAlphaWolf H - Heimdall who probably has the soul stone, which gives him the power to see every soul
Spoilers for Thor: Ragnarok
Hela
but the necklace is called the Eye of Agamotto which kinda throws off your whole thing. Also the staff one is the Mindstone.
Nope, Hela. Rules Hell. Soul stone commands souls both live and death....
After my friends and I saw the movie, we talked about how texting and driving turns you into a superhero
you should try anyway
I'm going to be a slight bit of a nerd and explain 2 things about the Ancient one, as I see them, and 1 thing about Doctor Strange's personality (MY VIEW, NOT CANON):
1."the Ancient One" is a title, not a person, just like "supreme wizard". She was ONE ancient one, not the only ancient one.
2. The Ancient one owns the book of Vishanti, and that is a huge clue to her agelessness and "tapping into" the other dimension; the Vishanti are 3 benign gods of the other dimensions, who bestow blessings and power on the worthy. Now, the fact that the Ancient one has the book and the symbol of Vishanti is littered around the place means that it is at least probable that she is blessed by the Vishanti, who have given her immortality so that she can train wizards to protect the world. Considering the fact that she is so old, AND many students are shown at the temple and yet during the film it is said that few "make it" (some leave like the guy who cured himself, some go evil, many more just die as during the course of the film), it is easy to see how training wizards just to watch them die, fall to the wayside - or worse, turn against all she believes in- must be a terrible burden, one that she would not recommend. In fact, it seems likely that she didn't really want to do it in the first place and had that duty thrust upon her not unlike what happened to Doctor Strange. The fact that she actually is able to postpone her death to watch the snow implies the possibility that she might have lived had she chosen to do so, but quite simply had decided to let go, especially now that there is someone she believes can take her place. All in all, it's a good character I wish they had explored more, and considering the flexibility of death in comic books, I would welcome further appearances.
3. Doctor Strange used to be a good guy, he didn't start off as a jerk. He became a doctor to save his sister but when he faild he turned callous and selfish, only operating for money so as to avoid any emotional connection with his patients. So in a way the journey of self discovery wasn't what "made him" a good man, it reminded him that he was one to start with, it broke the curse he had cast on himself.
It's Vishanti.Gosh,it's painful to see your spelling mistakes.And the three gods of Vishanti have their own dimension,they are pure white magic! (The comic book Ancient One's long life is indeed their blessing though)Dormmamu and Umar are the two rulers of dark dimension.
The Book of Vishanti is a book about white magic as opposed to Darkhold about black magic. The book in the movie is about time. Why do you think Agammoto, Hoggoth ,Oshtur dwell in dark dimension anyway? Sorry for being so harsh.
Good analysis though.I am pretty senstive when it comes to concept.
its mentioned in the movie that she's of ancient celtic origin.
tenjek true, which further confirms that the film makers were not simply changing the gender of the Ancient one, but providing a whole new Ancient One. The thoughbt that she might have been a Druid or Ovate in her youth is a cool idea, I really wish they had explored her character further.
Simon Shephard Sorry for any typos, I wrote from my phone, with the setting on my original language so lots of autocorrects etc to boot! Like I said, they are "good" gods, it's just a little theory I have as it would really fit nicely with the character's story.

Wong had the Wand of Watoomb...

or drake, or bono
Or Cher.
Adele..
Wong have Beyoncé. Hit it single ladies
The Ancient One was drawing power from the dark dimension only so she could stay alive longer in order to fight the crazy battles and save the world from evil forces. Let's be honest, no one else had the magical capability she did (until Doctor Strange, so in a sense he replaces her.)
ClearCrystal Odin?
gentblue They don't deal with the same type of magic. Generally.
doctor strange uses the time stone
watch the movie all the way to the end, before the post credit, a message in the credit is "Don't text and drive..." had me and my friends cracking up
I saw it 3D. It was freaking amazing.
Stinkfly3 i know. I did too.
same
Stinkfly3 it was awesome
Sure it was.
same
The very last line of end credits in the movie tells you not to drive while distracted... :)
I know it's marvel and we all stay until the end of the credits, but sadly a lot of people don't really... READ the credits, heck, I often take my 3DS to kill tim while the second scene comes
Why did you kill Tim!?
They put the warnings after the spells
Wang: _laughs hysterically_
Wong hahaha
YES, a buddy cop, Mordo and the Ancient One, on Netflix. I would so watch that, Over an over and over again.
Jason McCabe dormammu, I've come to binge watch
"Dormammu. Episode 3 is on repeat and I intend to keep it that way for a while."
I enjoyed this movie incredibly! I went to see it Thursday before the world release and got there 2 hours early... When the movie began, there were literally only 20 other people in the theater... It was a little disappointing... BUT WE GOT THE BEST SEATS EVER!! :D
Really? My local theater was packed Thursday, at least the 3D/IMAX showing was.
Bryan Shouse Mine was 3D... Not IMAX, though
The film came out on 20th October in the UK
Jason Lam Lucky you... But by the world release I just mean theaters everywhere I.E. It is now available anywhere it could be available
Mason McGuire i saw it today and it was just me, my mum, and some other lady, it was pretty cool
Ok so, who else immediately thought of Aladin's magic carpet when they saw the Cloak do its thing.
Just watched in 3D.. special effects blew my mind.
HISHE reviews are best reviews. Just enough mixture and balance between humour and serious critique.
Magic in Marvel. Please give us the proper Mandarin with the Makulan Rings now.
Yes!Yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes!yes! Please!
Not gonna happen, they went out of there way YET AGAIN to compare magic to advanced science (computer programming this time). For some reason MCU is absolutely terrified of the idea of magic, and run shaking in their booties every time it's brought up.
DugFin2 So make them advanced alien tech like they in Ion Man: Armoured Adventures. Just give us SOMETHING decent with the Mandarin.
DugFin2 ugh, she The Ancient One was dumbung herself down so Strange could understand the comparison. Magic is straight up reality bending in this...which if magic existed for real, That's exactly what it would be...reality bending.
It was not advanced tech at all...there were dimensions, cloak of levitation, spells, and reality being altered and bent. Did you not watch the film?
watertommyz watch film theorists video about it every thing in the movie can be explained with science
I definitely agree with you on the Netflix idea. This very well could be an entire series on its own. This movie's plot felt rushed. His life and relationships before crashing his car, his struggle coping with that incident, his training with the monks, his preparation to face his ultimate enemy, and the ultimate conflict itself. All could have used a lot more time to fully flesh them out and show character development. It's very similiar to the Avatar: The Last Airbender. Doctor Strange could used a full series too. So netflix original series or some other network hopeful indeed.
Did you just compare Doctor strange to the last airbender? I feel like that would be considered offensive
Not the live action one, the animated series.
You don't want to see the original comic, then. The entire origin before he has a grasp on power is a complete flashback that minimises the worth of the story, and the painful clichés within make the film look like an unrivalled original. I like comics, but his first origin comic was painful...
You have the right to tell me what I like, lol? I like a good build up. Makes the action more fulfilling and meaningful.
Yes, that ties into what I'm saying. The movie is supposed to take place over a course of a year, but there's a BIG difference between hypothetical studied knowledge, and real life experienced knowledge.
You can study a book all you want, but until you experience a fight in person you don't truly know how to handle it. There's just nooo way he could suddenly do so well against and even defeat that master student you had been both training AND fighting for sooo much longer than him.
Even if Strange is a natural prodigy. That's why I'm saying that this hero could use an entire show and series just decidated to his life before becoming a sorcery and training during it. If he'd had multiple battles and trials first, THEN it makes a lot more sense for him to beat dormu.
I thought it was a solid film, 9/10. The visuals were terrific, the humor was used well, and the cast did a fine job, with Cumberbatch feeling like a perfect match for Strange. The story was extremely similar to "Iron Man" and "Batman Begins," but that was inevitable, and they did well with adding distinct touches to it. I do wish they wouldn't have brushed over Kaecilius and Dormammu, but I get what they were doing with them. Kaecilius was a dark doppelganger to Strange, a broken, proud man who looked for truth in the wrong places. Also, I liked how instead of making Dormammu a generic ghoulish monster, they made him a timeless evil essence who can't be truly beat, he can only be contained.
That said, I'm looking forward to what the future will bring for Dr. Strange. It's clear going forward that he'll be crucial to the MCU (he's already in "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Avengers: Infinity War"). And if they keep it up with Mordo, Mordo could be the next "Loki" of the MCU, a complex, recurring, and understandable villain.
I freaked out when we found out what the Eye of Agamotto really was and the post credit scene with Thor was hilarious.
Nitrostrike9000 was I the only one who thought it was an infinity stone the entire time?
No. I thought it was pretty obvious
madison brown it was fairly obvious if you think about it. It's a small green stone that controls time, and we haven't seen an infinity stone that's green or has the power of time manipulation until now. I'm a huge comic geek though so I was expecting it to be a stone even before I knew what it did or what it looked like :P
Oh! Time loop. Of course! I thought one of the ancient artifacts was some magical beer mug that constantly refilled itself. That would be so cool!
Nate England beer for days!
the cloak was my favourite character
La meme yaaaasss
I loved the movie, but it has a VERY BIG PROBLEM. They didn't play "People Are Strange" from the Doors, not even in the credits. Deeply disappointed
Screw that! They should have play "It's a kind of Magic" from Queen. Or at least "You can do magic" from America.
Strangelove by Depeche Mode? Next one maybe?
Anyone else find HISHE reviews more enjoyable than the professional reviews because they actually seem to enjoy their job?
It was a great movie. My only complaint is that it felt rushed. I anticipate a longer and even better "Directors Cut."
Hell yeah I would watch that
MethosOhio it didn't feel rushed at all to me. It was just the right pace to fit in all the action and I for one didn't want to watch Doctor strange in class questioning the teacher and sitting in his room reading books.
Especially at the beginning when we are Introduced to Stephen Strange And with him Losing the ability to Lose his hands. Hopefully there will be some deleted scenes that show us how he struggles with that. But other than that great film 10/10.
It doesn't need to be 8 hours, but The Avengers for instance was almost half an hour longer. So, they would have been well within the range of acceptable length had they added some more interaction with the master or scale to the training.
True. I wanted more scenes on the Ancient One and Kaecilius. I wanted to see more of their backstories and history.
One big difference is those sling rings don't exist in the comics. He could open those portals just fine on his own. Also he wasn't turned away by the Ancient One. He was pre-destined to be the next Sorcerer Supreme and The Ancient One knew it . He was showing hints of magical potential before even hurting his hands. He could see through glamour spells that he wasn't supposed to. You get a more comic book accurate version in the 2007 animated Doctor Strange movie (which is woefully under-rated, by the way).
Good points. Only thing I don't agree on is the animated movie -- I think a long-time fan of the comics might enjoy it, but someone who never read the comics? I don't think it quite lives up to hte potential.
Amanda Pike Well, besides taking the films in a different direction than the comics (which also gives comics fans something new to experience other than what they already know), I think some of those choices were just for drama. If he could open a portal at any time, it lessons the tension, but if he needs an object to do it (which can be lost or stolen), it ups the potential tension of events that unfold. Also, maybe we will find out in a later film that he DID already show signs of being the Sorcerer Supreme, through flashbacks.
Oh, I showed the animated film to a lot of non-comic fans and they loved it, granted it's a LOT more blunt and detailed about the magick and why Doctor Strange was such a jerk. In fact that backstory about his kid sister would have really fit well here.
I hav ea more cynical suspicion that the rings were added so they could tell the Chinese distributors "It's totally alien tech and not the supernatural, we swear!"
Amanda Pike Ha! Actually, you may have a point there. Just like they downplayed Thor and Loki as just being much more advanced in technology, rather than actual gods, then it makes sense to do a similar thing with Dr. Strange. It makes them more palatable to a wider audience.
I paused at 7:26 because I heard all I needed to hear! Texting and driving will make a superhero, so God damnit, that's what I'm going to do!! I'll continue the rest of the video once I'm done speeding down the highway and thanking HISHE on twitter for making me a superhero #weeklyplanetexclusive
David Perez best point ever lol 😂
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to come back on RUclips to respond to your olde comments.
David Perez lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
dont
Of course, that is IF you don't die from the accident. please don't die.
Dudes I recommend for the how should have ended
To do the part when he plays with the apple with the agamoto eye
You should do something like
"Um this thing makes objects to look better with the time travel and shit, maybe I should use it with my watch that broke or even my hands, instead of an apple or this dangerous book"
You now something like that
i really love your movie reviews. Especially how you put bits of comedy
So you DO have a first name after all!!
ragingfiip wait what?
LOL
Nathaniel Wong
LoL, have you seen the movie?
ragingfiip oh ya.. now i remember
I honestly thought he was going to say "it's also teaching teens that texting and driving will get metal pins in your hands. And your ex-girlfriend back. Win-win."
This movie was one of the best Marvel movies. Deadpool, however, is my number 1.
Deadpool is shit, completely average movie (at best) with a generic story, even for superhero standards it's nothing special.
idk why some people praise it
Cause some people have taste.
Deconstruction, parody, humor.
Just like with Drax, the joke went over your head, and you missed the point exactly.
Deadpool is never gonna have an completely original story with twists and turns you'll never see coming, it isn't about epic tales or unforgettable villains.
It's all a joke with the industry, be it comic books, or comic book movies.
+Mateus Costa
what do you think "deconstruction" is, exactly?
Deadpool takes on the superhero sub-genre and spins it on its head, similarly to what Madoka Magica did with Mahou Shoujo Anime.
Being self-aware of the common tropes and expectations of a given genre, and subverting them and what's generally expected from the more generic, regular works of fiction are what constitute a work of deconstruction, I believe.
"They are different!"
* Flashes picture of Sherlock Holmes *
Doctor Strange Hishe idea; when Hannibal Lector and his minions come out of the sling ring portal at the end to begin the final fight, they should get hit by a car as soon as they walk out. I just thought that they were going to when I saw the movie.
YES
Glad to see I'm not the only one :)
Honestly loved all the pop star names. Just him listing them to wang.
"Bono? Drake? Kanye? Beyonce?"
The scene with Dormmamu though it reminded me of Heaven Sent that episode with the 12th doctor and then I got so sad because that episode he kept dying over and over and then he wouldnt know and the time would get longer and longer
"120,000 years into the future" "800,000 years into the future." "1 million years into the future." "2 billion years into the future."
AND THE SKULLS IN THE WATER
WHY
sorry off topic
And the shepard's boy says.....
*sob*
I, uh... have not seen this episode. Which was it?
12th doctor in the newest season. Sorry I dont want to spoil it for you. But its when Clara dies and he's in the timelord prison.
Dorammamu I came to bargain
Darude Sandstorm
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens: Dormammu I've come to bargain
Dormammu I came to barn porn
dormammu, Ive come to bargain.
this scene made all Supernatural fans scream (internally): "It's Tuesday again!"
All those Doctor Who references
+The Writer Like what?
***** I did see the movie and count myself as a Whovian, but somehow I missed the bits that you and The Writer picked up. : (
+retnavybrat 1:16 timey wimey
2:25 "what did you think about The Doctor" and then a picture of David Tennant looking out of the TARDIS - come on, how could you missed THAT
***** Oh, I thought you all were talking about references within the movie itself. I did catch the _Doctor Who_ references in the review. : )
Eccleston was what's his face in the Dark World.
WHERE'S WONG'S CLOAK OF LEVITATION?!
😂ikr
Alyssa Smith won was amazing
hahaha he looks amazing
Have you seen the movie
not yet
I will never stop watching this Chanel
It's weird, but I'm positive that Tilda Swinton was heavily inspired by the spoon bender kid from the Matrix. It's really weird when you think about it. Tilda Swinton is known for her androgynous beauty. She has played male characters 'til this day. Everything about her performance of the ancient one, from her shaved head to her voice, looks and sound a lot like that one kid! Even the goddamn robes
there is no spoon
swinton was awesome -- but she looked like an old-lady version of Aang from the Last Air-Bender, and I don't even watch that show.
Still, she looks pretty great for 56. Great casting choice, I'd say, because she looks young until you see the wrinkles around her eyes.
adderous Tilda's amazing in everything she's in. I want to see her in more blockbuster films! Marvel's always snagging talent and using them for only ONE movie -- that's painful! I hope we get to see the Ancient One in more of these Marvel mystics films.
And even better, cameos on Netflix.
I know why it "Difference" cause this Doctor is Strange
ZzDanishzZ Perhaps. But who am I to judge?
great reference
check out my channel
Just like Deadpool its not the same origen story, it has fourth wall jokes and inappropriate language, so its diferent

OMG! This is the best movie review EVER! I laughed so hard ...people at work gave me weird looks. This is my new favorite guy to do movie reviews. I request MORE REVIEWS!!!
You didn't think it would have jokes? What studio is this again?
Right? No marvel movie comes without jokes. No marvel anything comes without witty one liners
Pizzers exactly. You can expect it in every movie
He just didn't expect it to have so much since Doctor Strange is a bit dark.
The Riddler Just wait until Spiderman comes out. It's gonna be disgusting
So funny story... I read your comment wrong and thought you said Superman instead of Spiderman and I was like... Superman already came out bruh, like in 2013 duh. But then I read the comment again and now I totally agree!
Tilda was fantastic.
They should've showed more about Kaecilius and his motivation to his actions. I believe they only said he went to Kamar-Taj because he lost his loved ones, and then he explains to Dr. Strange that time is the enemy because it kills everything. Because of that rush in telling his story, we just think he's evil, and how can he be evil if he wants everyone to live forever?
he's "evil" because he found out that the ancient was using dark universe power and he wanted to do the same so she banned him. Our side vs their side, simple.
Kat Rockenbach he isn't evil in his mind. He thinks he is saving the world. His motivation are actually very clear. They mention how he lost his entire family. And then he discovers the ancient one has been using dark magic. Decided to do the same. Dormamu tells him, he can make everyone immortal.
I wanted to see more of his story to, I agree. I'm a big fan of relatable villains, and I think his motivations are actually not all that bad. Depending on your views, time really is the enemy of all life. The problem is that he was willing to solve that problem by letting a malevolent entity get control of earth, and depending on what he's like that could be a worse fate. Sort of like solving the problem of death by letting hell take over earth. But, he clearly means well, and I think his side should have been explored more than it was. There's more to it than "he's the bad guy," even though it felt a bit like that.
TheGreatYukon exactly!
Cumberbundt's American accent threw me off the whole time
Btw in the comics Ironman and Dr. strange are sort of like brothers and they call themselves facial hair bros
well, Iron Man does. Strange just tells Stark that he hates him.
he says it in a sarcastic tone
NeoKnight _ Well, as far as I can tell, Strange still hasn't referred to themselves as Facial Hair bros asside for that one small moment in Invincible Iron Man. That's only Stark
As everyone seems to rush to RUclips and post their various review/reaction vids, the HISHE style sets this one apart. Which is nice. Looking forward to your next Villain Pub...
I like how they did the sling ring effect with the light in that hospital scene.
"He drives a flashy car."
The correct term is drove.
Not hating, just trying to be witty.
No it's not
@@louiseserrayh780 Right now I can't think of any instance where Strange himself drove after the accident. And besides, the car was totalled. There is no way he's driving that one again.
"Angry ninja kungfu wizards" 😂
Naruto?
DugFin2 holy shit YES
Silvermist Art
also, try saying "Angry Ninja Kungfu Wizards to the TMNT cartoon theme, it works
I saw it in 3D and it was SOOO GOOD!
Mariama Joazard Yes I saw it the day after its release(in 3d) and its definetly in my top 5 or 6 mcu movies.And the new marvel intro/logo is so good,when I saw it for the first time I jizzed everywhere
I KNOW ITS AWESOME IN3D
It's even better if you watch it while high.
Remember when How It Should Have Ended actually made videos that showed you how it should have ended?
Goodmorning, I've been a HISHE fan for a few years now, subscribing today for the first time (all this crazy, having a gmail gives you a RUclips account whaaaaaaaaaa next it'll be reusable pears) partially because of this video, mostly because I love the show. HISHE has never failed to both; crack me up, and drop my jaw at suddenly realized serious movie plot holes. I love the animation, the humor, and level of dedication you all obviously put into your work. I want to say six, It feels like six years since I started watching, and I've never been disappointed or let down. Infact I usually know I've found a friend, if they smile when I mention HISHE. Again just a casual viewer of the show, please, keep up the good work.
dormammu i've come to bargain.
Abhishek Bisht the first time he said dommamu I thought he was making a your mamma joke😂
Creativekatie you were supposed to write the same stuff, and then the endless chain. goddammit carl. xD
Abhishek Bisht oh sorry whoops.... Dommamu I've come to bargain?
Dormammu, I've come to bargain.
dormammu i've come to bargain
Anyone else stay behind to watch the end and end end credit scenes?
CubeyV yeah I always do that
who doesnt?
Its marvel, people should've learned by now.
So, my cinema advertised that the movie wasn't over until the lights were turned back on again, and me and my friend was like, "finally! They are making sure people stay to watch the post ending credits!" But then the lights turned on after the FIRST end credits, and I was like, "wait, aren't there always two?" and my friend was like, "Not always. I suppose that's why they are telling us this beforehand, so we don't have to stay through the credits for nothing.." And everyone was leaving, so we left as well, and did not get to see the end end credits... and now I am crying.
Yeah. Really teaches us patience, meditation, etc.
7:30 man. that message and the way you said it was really uplifting and really motivated me to not be consumed by fear. I know you wont read this Hishe Man, but you can be a great motivational speaker. looking forward to the next episode of the Villain Pub Exposed. :)
wong had the wand of watoomb which is another powerful relic. So in a way he got his own little toy
Lol how did you not expect there to be jokes. It is a marvel film.
I didn't expect it either because of the theme of DR Strange.
All you had to do was watch a couple trailers to know there'd be jokes.
actually there were barely any jokes in the movie , they had to bring on Dan Harmon from Rick and Morty to add some levity to the movie.
Ahmed Osman tell you what I didn't expect: the jokes not to be funny!
First time for everything I guess.
ravissary79 idk what you're talking about , i was laughing throughout the movie.
Dormmamu, I've come to bargain!
STOP THIS
Dormaamu, I've come to bargain.
JJTonO'Fun ! AH, NOT AGAIN!
Dormmamu, I've com to barg-- SAMSH!
JJTonO'Fun !
YourMAMA I've come to bargain
I really really really liked Doctor Strange. Wasn't expecting as much humor as it had, and that was a pleasant surprise. The effects were amazing. The acting was top notch. The storyline was...pretty good. Much better than most I've seen come through these superhero movies. Thanks for your review, mr HISHE. I seriously wait on pins and needles for everything you guys release. You are masters at this art!
Hate how some people were bashing it because it 'wasn't funny' and "its not as good as the other movies".
First of all, It's called dry humor, something apparently tons of people didn't understand.
Second of all, ITS A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF THE MCU. Get it out of your fat heads.
Three, yes, they whitewashed. Could they have handled that better? HELL YES. As an asian does it make me mad? Hell YES. Does it mean you shouldn't at least give it a chance before bashing it? LIKE SERIOUSLY.
Need to have the Asian master, train the white protagonist so that we can show white people in the end are better at everything then Asians. I mean no matter what you do some person is going to complain about race, so yawn.
Could they have done it better? Yes? How?
skyletta0626 I think people are overlooking the fact that it's an intro film to Doctor Strange so I don't know what else they could expect.
+Psychodegu ...That was hilarious and also very true. People looking for complaints will find them and/or create them.
I can't believe Ken Watanabe wasn't in this movie somewhere.
How has no one created a dubstep of the Dormammu time loop yet?
nah im sure that will come soon
You think he ever gets that feeling of deja vu?
probably because I'd imagine its still hard to get your hands on a decent audio quality version of it if you can even do that legally this early
I love these reviews! Please keep at it, you're really good at it as well on top of your awesome animation and voice-work!
Regarding the film itself, I think seeing how the last Infinity Gem worked was a bit overdue around these parts. So I'm glad they covered that. Yay inter-dimensional travel! Also, maybe all of this was in Strange's head before he died? Like, just like all of Guardians of the Galaxy is in Star Lord's mind since he got institutionalized and had a plant and a pet racoon next to his over-satured kid-like undeveloped 80s childhood that was high on Star Wars, Marvel Comics (by way of Jim Starlin), and Kevin Bacon & Alyssa Milano (even though that could be a bit of a confusion -- remember I'm not saying he never understood the world after the 80s, just that he never grew out of that mindset and is hallucinating everything to make sense out of the death of his mom and his absent dad, yes even Bautista's charater is just the patient next-door who's suffering from some experimental form of aphasia).
Fat this point I think people don't even know what a good villain is.
I think everyone expects Heath ledger joker. Dormammu and what's his name were fine.
Negan
Who's Negan?
+Pietro Valsecchi superman and Luthor are pretty damn good in my opinion.
Not from the BatsVSupes Film. that thing imo was a piece of garbo on its own
We all know what the real message was...
Don't text and drive it literally said that at the end of the movie
Those final thoughts on the message of the movie were awesome. If you would pull the message out of the movie like that more often, it would be one more reason why I love you guys!
I enjoyed Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. House in Inception 2. I mean Dr. Strange.
Craig M kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
How did you not talk about how the ending breaks the stereotypical, cliche super hero movie ending?
How so? Not disagreeing, would like to know why you thought so :)
DamagedSave because instead of having an epic battle, Strange uses his wits to defeat Dormammu. He doesn't even fight in the end. He just bargains with Dormammu, and let's himself be killed over and over, and instead of punchin' thinks it through before requesting before encountering him
+DamagedSave I think he means how unlike most superhero movies that are wrapped up in a nice bow at the end, Strange still hasn't fixed his hands at the end of the film, one of his new friends (mordo) has abandoned him, and turned evil, and he doesn't exactly get the girl
Yeah nice, that is pretty cool
Still devolves into, got the big bad guy, smaller bad guys disappear and the they skirt over the damage. Certainly a step in the right direction though
yoroshiku Because it kind of sucked
"DORMAMMU!!! I HAVE COME TO BARGAIN!!!"

HISHE...please...please please please do a HOW IT SHOULD'VE ENDED ABOUT DOCTOR STRANGE...PLEASE!!!!
MasterEth he said they were gonna do one but he's working on something else rn
Thanks for this review and all your awesome videos! I like your sum-up that Strange will probably always be fighting this battle with his ego, but will hopefully do some good too.
sorry but Dr Strange didnt stole the cloak of levitation it came to him .. did you really watched it ??
he was kidding :| seriously people
Tony and Steven are awesome facial hair bros, if you don't know the reference than you should really read more comics
I really think you are awesome!! Best reviews and your jokes make these videos not boring. I like that you are not a comic book know it all and you don't go to details about the character origins and staff! Keep up the good work! Best channel on RUclips! (Sorry for my English but you got the point)
Wait did HISHE use TVF Pitchers soundtrack from 4:45... woaaaaah
Sauradeep Chakraborty, Yeah I thought of the same thing!
??
it's similar, but I don't think it's the same track.
Kaysillyus wanted to put earth in an immortal galaxy where it wouldn't die btw, he actually kinda made a lot of sense but whatever
But he didnt know that I think
***** yeah I kinda agree with ya there I mean living frovever would be kinda awful
7:30 - 7:52 indeed! Yeah as a psychologist I really liked that message about not really being able to toss our traumas and fetters away, but rather rising above them. Although it definitley happens that some people really grow out of selfishness in a few critical forms, as they simply grow into a degree of appreciating helping other people until they/we lose interest in the more petty or fear-based selfish wants that humans often grow up with.
