@@stefceretti Oh no, you might not like me after watching that. 😅 BUT if it makes you feel better, I enjoyed the visuals of that movie! Great job again. EDIT: Just noticed you also worked on Batman Begins and The Prestige. Both of those I've watched for the channel too. Also really great films.
As a lifelong comic book nerd, as with Ant-man, I thought doing Dr. Strange would be next to impossible. Again, they knocked it out of the park. Just so well done...
Benedict Cumberbatch was amazing in this. And the music at the end when he goes up those stairs to the end credits was beautiful; feels like it symbolized his journey to hero.
Something that is easy to miss in the credits is that Cumberbatch pulled double duty in this film: he also provides the voice for Dormamu. Also, I can never see Mordo without thinking of the actor's role as the bounty hunter in "Serenity."
And a new dimension, mind the pun, of the MCU is revealed magic and mysticism. Strange in a lot of ways is just like Tony a wealthy successful man with a sharp tongue and an ego the size of a continent. Until a tragic accident ruined him forced him to become humble and be more than he thought he was. Except while Tony is a man of technology Stephen found his purpose in ancient primordial energies. What I really love about this movie is how Strange defeated the main villain not with strength or smarts but by annoying the hell out of Dormammu until he gave into his demands which is admirable all the times Stephen had to die and suffer for the world until Dormammu surrendered.
@nightwingman666 well, there is the saying that technology, if it's sufficiently advanced compared to those who observe it, can be indistinguishable from magic. 😉
kaiielle the part where christine was in the closet and got scared when the mop fell was rachel's real scream , the director never told her that the mop was going to fall
Bumblebee Cummerbund is always a win. My personal favorite of his was the BBC show Sherlock. I'll be sure to throw that on the suggestions list. Couldn't find a mirror so here's a clock 🕰
Strange and Christine were a "thing" a long time ago. That's why she came up with the "Strange policy" or whatever she said. She dated him, it ended bad, so she doesn't date other co workers. But they still are cute together and there's still a spark there in this movie. They've learned to be friends still. Even if difficult on her at times
Dark fact: Kevin Feige revealed that the all the fights beetwen Dormammu and Stephen in the time loop are equal to 50 years. If every fight was like 10 minutes that means that Stephen died 2,6 million times, he literally take it for the team there
Bendyboy cucumber is a fantastic doctor strange and I can't wait for all the other comic book magical stuff they can adapt. The trippy scene and the ancient ones death scene are incredible. Keep up with these MCU reactions, love em.
When this came out, I looked forward to it with both anticipation and trepidation, because I was a fan of the character since reading his first adventure way back in 1963 and had no idea how or if they could do justice to it. And to my delight, they did!
I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip to Nepal because of the pandemic. My brother and his wife were halfway through their trip in March of 2020 when everything started suddenly shutting down. They had to quickly make their way back to Kathmandu and wait in an empty hotel (all the help lived across the border and had gone home) for a week while the American Consulate arranged for a flight to bring them back to the US. It wasn't their first trip to Nepal, but it was quite an adventure on its own. As for Doctor Strange, it was one of my favorite comics when that same brother allowed me to read through his Marvel collection in the 1970s, and I was extremely pleased with how the movie turned out. All the character/place/item names that are difficult to remember are from the comics and, in many cases they pre-date the names with which they are so easily confused. I am so glad you enjoyed this movie. As I said, it is one of my favorites and people who watch it tend to love it or not care for it at all.

I'm glad you're a fan of magic Kaiielle. Cause that's what Doctor Strange is all about. As you now know. I saw this in theatres three times when it came out. So mind blowing 🤯 It really shows us a totally different side of the MCU (Magic). Just like Guardians of the Galaxy was a deep dive into the cosmic side. Everything coming up will be so much more awesome!
The Ancient One had the time stone and hence the ability to see the attack on NY and the rise of the Avengers. This is why she did not interfere. She knew the Avengers had it handled and evens need to happen the way thy did.
Did you catch that when he was driving, listening to possible medical cases to look into, they mentioned a test pilot with a spinal injury? That was a reference to Justin Hammer's exosuit test where the torso turned around 180 degrees in Iron Man 2.
I think it refers to Rhodie's injury in the previous film (Civil War). The one in Iron Man 2 was years previously, and wouldn't be brought up as a new case.
Of all the MCU movies, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed since the start, this one, and Doctor Strange, resonate the most with me personally. 2 decades of constant pain, 12 years of major surgeries, 5 of them, after many screws, plates, titanium cages and donor bone I’m 80% pain free. It’s hard to describe what years worth of recovery is like to others, but let’s just say it can take a toll on you, for many it gets REALLY dark and the only way to deal with it is to lash out in anger. It’s not anger at anyone in particular, it’s just general and raw, but it feels like you’re the target if you’re on the other side. Strange isn’t acting that way to her in particular, she’s just the closest one to him, he’s angry, bitter and frustrated with what happened to him. What I love about this one is that the solution for him was more spiritual than surgical as is often the case. The mind can work magic if you just let it.
It's interesting, because, with the addition of Benedict Cumberbatch, there's now two Sherlock Holmeses in the MCU. And Benedict is with Robert Downey Jr.'s Irene Adler. And they are essentially the same archetype, being that Dr. Strange is a doctor/sorceror and Tony Stark is a bit of a mad scientist. EDIT: They also both start off as arrogant jerks and become humbled by their experiences.
Love the reaction.. just as a little backstory.. Benedict Cumberbatch was a LOT of the fan's choice to be Dr Strange in the MCU. Marvel really listened to their fanbase when they cast him and then announced it at the 2016 Comic Con. There were a lot of people that didn't think magic could work in the MCU. It was really cool to see how that all worked out.
With the addition of magic it allows such cool action scenes. I’ve always loved magic and the idea of magic used in movies and I feel marvel did a fantastic job implementing it in this movie. The visuals were amazing and Stranges ark was very well done. Can’t wait for Thor 3 cause it’s just incredible! A huge setup from the last 2. I could go on about how much I love the movie, my top 5 favorite MCU movies. Hope you love it just as much as I do ❤
Are there any aristocrats who aren't? :) Almost seems a shame not to be; appears to be the point of the concept. "Steal a loaf, get the noose. Steal a million, get a title". Stalin would fit right in (and, come to think of it, did).
I'll be pedantic. Dr. Strange is a sorcerer. He uses knowledge of natural and supernatural forces to cast spells. Wanda was experimented on with one of the infinity stones and the result was more like her becoming a mutant. In fact, in the comic books she is a mutant.
PT for hands like this could take years. I had some trouble with nerves in my forearms and I did exercises every day for 2 years to get back some of it and its never going to get back perfect. So for him, the need to be very precise and very still, I don't think it would be possible without the mytical aspect.
They don't say it in the movie, but Dr. Strange basically *power-leveled* himself against Dormamu, amirite? I mean, when you're playing a game with protection beyond your level in order to fight baddies way above your level... and you gain lots of experience from it... that's power leveling. He got to try a bunch of different spells against a resisting opponent (vs imagining one with McDojo katas in the mirror dimension), so he could really get a feel for whether he can survive certain attacks or not, and which kind of defenses work best against those attacks... while practicing his defenses under duress in rapid succession (the old "Think fast!" school yard flinch check). So yeah, that's my head canon. He upped himself over and over, using his superior memory to maximize the extremely unique training opportunity.
I believe the eye glitter was practical. If you go back to where he's talking to strange in the contraption you can see his eyes tear up from the irritation. Good movie and now you can see the how a meme was made from this using Dr strange shooting out of the Earth to the song of "Bag Raiders Shooting Stars" fits so well.
Some surgeons do listen to music when they operate and there are some that don’t like to have music played. I know when my wife had her c-section they played some 80s music which is a big favorite of my wife and myself. It helped to keep us both relaxed. 8:43 I deal with chronic pain everyday and it’s hard to manage at times especially with stress added to the mix. I always have to remind myself to not take the frustration of the pain out on my family. Especially when we are having an argument about something small. Benedict Cumberbatch does a great job portraying Dr Strange. His portrayal mimics most of the animated versions I’ve seen. I love how Dr Strange deals with Doramomu. Mordo is a very dangerous man cause he’s the kind that only sees in black and white and doesn’t allow for any gray/color areas. The world isn’t black and white. You have to color outside the lines sometime within reason.
Dr. Strange has always been my favorite character. The beautiful artwork and mystic aesthetic was fascinating to me as a kid. Always explained him to people unfamiliar with the character as 'Batman with magic instead of tech'. I also completely loved the fact they didn't have him defeat Dormammu through magical strength/force. He outmaneuvered him instead. The movie captures the style and look I feel in love with in the comic panels all those years ago. Story wise, this may not be the strongest MCU flick, but it's my favorite.
Wong in the comics is a stereotypical manservant. He's not a sorcerer at all. It was fun to see the movie give him a more substantial presence and function in the world of Doctor Strange.
Imagined how tripped out you would have been seeing this is 3D....those mirror dimension scenes and the scene when Strange first has his mind opened up when first meeting the ancient one were awesome!!
This is my favorite Marvel movie. I liked how it was different by embracing magic and mind bending visuals. At the beginning of the movie, Stephen is self-centered, arrogant, unsympathetic, dismissive and emotionally dysfunctional. The only real value he places on himself is his ability to be an excellent surgeon. He measures everyone against (and therefore, below) his himself. He's borderline sociopathic at the beginning, but I think it has more to do with him being an extreme narcissists than being bad. He simply doesn't place value on other people unless they can do something for him. It's fun to watch him grow and change as the movie progresses.
Hi KL! I’ve been binge watching your Marvel movie reactions since yesterday and I just wanted to drop by to say that i’m glad you liked this movie. My sister and I watched this in the cinemas without a clue about him, and we ended up loving him. He’s one of my fave Marvel heroes now. Definitely one of my fave Marvel origin stories ❤
I remember seeing this movie in the theater and loving it. I was so impressed that they were able to convincingly pull off "magic" in this universe that has almost entirely to this point been grounded in science. Other than Wanda, Doctor Strange is the first character we've seen in the MCU with mystical abilities. You may not remember, but Doctor Strange was mentioned in "CA the Winter Soldier" when Agent Sitwell was running off names of potential threats.
My favorite Marvel hero ❤❤❤❤ This movie is easily my favorite solo movie. Benedict Cumberbatch was a perfect casting. He was phenomenal. You need to watch some of his movies he’s a chameleon and an amazing actor.
One of the things I love about this movie is that the teachers at Kamar-Taj, with very few exceptions, do mean it when Wong says "No knowledge is forbidden." The only time Mordo tells Strange to stop asking questions, it's because they're supposed to be training in something else, and he shouldn't let himself be distracted
If you like Chiwetel Ejiofor, you should watch the Firefly series & then the linked movie Serenity. He's in the movie, not the series, but you have to watch the series first to really get the full impact of the movie. There are only 14 episodes of the series (it was cancelled before they finished the season) so it's not a huge commitment! 🔎 Couldn't find a mirror emoji!
You mentioned Wanda. The difference between them is Wanda and other witches have magic as an innate ability. Wizards have to learn magic through study and practice. Fun Fact: Cumberbatch also provided the voice of Doramamu in this film (and the voice of Smaug in the Hobbit film).
First time me and the wife saw this was in a huge IMAX theater... in 3-D - that blew my mind big time! If there's any Marvel movie you want to see in 3-D, it's this one. :o)
Kaiielle was the vfx supervisor of this video and I really enjoyed the visuals. Camera and lighting on POINT! Lookin FLY! 😎 Really looking forward to your Everest vlogs. I'll take a Cliffhanger reaction in the mean time! 🪞
Shoutout to C. Robert Cargill who is one of the writers on this movie! (Also helped write Sinister and The Black Phone.) I used to listen to Cargill's movie/box office reviews all the way back in 2008 and it's been an absolute treat for me to see his career growth over the years. Really happy you enjoyed this film! :)
You might have missed it, but one of the patients he was getting offered in the car was a "US Airforce colonel with a spinal injury from a mechanical suit". He was offered the chance to operate on Rhodey (Warmachine) to help him walk again, but turned it down because it wasn't 'interesting' enough.
Late to the reply, but I subscribe to the theory that the pilot in question was the guy in Hammer's suit in Iron Man 2. It would take some time for Strange to train in the montages and get caught up to the main timeline where Rhodes was just injured.
This is one of my favourite movies in the MCU, there is something about Doctor Strange that really catches my attention. I feel like the fact he died millions of times in the dark dimension and no one knows about it is kind of tragic.
3:23 for a time I put on the guardians of the galaxy mixtape in every OR i worked in 😂😂😂 (anesthesiologisthere) Yes, we play all kinds of music. We also joke and have fun during routine surgeries. Although we joke more than the surgical staff. Anesthesiology is the chill side of the surgical cloth . We're also the only people that are always allowed to sit in the OR. All the other plebs have to stand (with rare exceptions) 😅
🪞🪞🪞Of the current 40 MCU projects, I rank this movie at #23, which seems brutal, but not really I just really love the MCU altogether! [This is not a spoiler]… I know you don’t like watching trailers before watching movies (which is bonkers to me 😁), but something in this movie reminded me of a special trailer leading up to Avengers Endgame. If you won’t watch it before Endgame then right after you should watch the “To The End” trailer to that movie. It is an awesome piece of art.
I've always wanted to go to Shambhala. The music isn't really my jam... But let's say the atmosphere and the people and the state of mind are RIGHT up my alley 😂.
Great reaction! I did want to mention that I have been to Kathmandu, Nepal. Even though I was there volunteering as a nurse for a 4 weeks, however, I was really there do some soul searching. I didn't go to Everest or the base of it, but I met some wonderful people, some delicious food (try the falafel wraps), and a spiritual renewal. I also pushed my limits like bungee jumping, white water rafting, and karaoke lol. I definitely recommend visiting such a beautiful place, but of course, please be safe and take needed precautions. Looking forward to your reactions for the rest of the MCU. What were the sorcerers up to during the invasion of New York hmmm ;) lol
🪞Once again, a super fun reaction! A nice way to ease into the week after my birthday weekend. 😊 I saw this movie in the theater in 3D. 🤯❤❤❤❤❤ (also, it hadn’t clicked with me before, but Chiwetal and Benedict Wong were BOTH in The Martian 😊)
Hi kaiielle. Once again you're a joy to watch. Like you I love visual epic effects. My collection is big!! I'm a massive Marvel fan and Doctor strange is one of my favourite original solo story. I do wish you had seen in 3D IMAX. It was breathtakingly mind blowing stunning. This is the reason why I own all of the Marvel films done in 3D. You haven't seen nothing yet because their is much more see and blow your mind. Your passion for this reminds me of my own. Have a great day and stay wonderful 🤩💖💫🙏🏾
Still my favorite MCU movie : ) Those street effects might be imitated from inception, I think they fit very well with the rest of the reality distortion effects. The mister doctor gag always cracks me up. I also love the end with him winning because he was willing to spend eternity dying, and not beating the enemy at all really. Also MVP = cape : )
I'm so glad you liked Dr Strange. i feel like we are on the same wavelength bc I too wasn't the biggest fan of gaurdians but love movies like Dr Strange. :D
Hahahha someone said this during the premiere! I wish I had the time or used the right software to be able to get all my captions for my videos accurate. At this time, I just have to use the RUclips auto captioning. It can result in hilarious things like this sometimes.
@@kaiielle I always find it amusing that any time a reactor uses the term "low-key," the closed captions write "Loki." The God of Mischief is messing with us through the fourth wall!
So the watch drawer is actually based on a real thing, an automatic winder. Automatic watches, work on motion throughout the day. An automatic winder constantly turns them to keep them wound. Sadly, the thing that makes it look cool is completely superfluous because the watches are facing straight up. To work, they would have to be on their sides.
Not sure if I've seen a reaction yet that notices the "army colonel with spinal trauma" Strange dismisses as not worth his time in the car ride is referring to Rhodey and his Civil War injury.
Between the crash and him running out of money probably takes most of phase 1 and 2. We see the seasons pass in Kamartage from spring to autumn. I think that's how the time frame goes. And when really knows how long Strange spends in that time loop.
Kaiielle ... you don't just love magic....you love the bad guys! Oh no haha. (Antman ,and now Dr. Strange). (However ... that is what makes these MCU movies good, is that everyone, good guys, bad guys, and those in between ... often have more depth.) As for the Ancient One .... Tilda Swinton - I love anything she is in. And of course ... the emoji ... 🪞
Hi Kaiielle I really love watching your reaction to touch strange my favorite part is the time loop . Dormammu I've come to bargain😂😂 I can't wait to see you react to doctor strange 2 someday soon !!!
When my friend and I saw this we decided on IMAX 3D or not at all, which was AWESOME! I could find no flaws with this movie, and after the first scene we said, "If you don't find that awesome you have to be a Jane Austen fan, or just stupid!" I'm immensely enjoying your reactions, I hope to see your reviews of Shang-Chi and others soon. Have you seen or done the X-Men movies yet? And if you wanna see Chiwetel Ejiofor at his best and most sinister, do a reaction of Serenity. (You don't even need to watch Firefly to get everything. Written and Directed by the genius Joss Whedon)
It amazes me every time how similar our tastes are. I LOVED this film when I first saw it. I also thought BC was the perfect casting choice. This movie is way too slept on IMO. I'm so curious (and nervous) about how you will feel about Thor Ragnarok easily a top tier MCU for me, but comedic which I know you don't always love. Anyway, great job as always! Loving this journey.
You asked if surgeons do something like this in the beginning of the movie. and the answer is a clear YES. surgeons reacted to this movie in the past and all said that its not uncommon to play music or make some jokes, depending on the needed procedure and worktime.
Glad you liked it. I was the vfx supervisor for the film and I am so happy that you enjoyed the visuals. We had a lot of fun making it happen !
Thank you so much for watching! Definitely a really fun visual experience.
@@kaiielle now I need to watch your guardians of the galaxy one … I did this one also ! Ah !
@@stefceretti Oh no, you might not like me after watching that. 😅 BUT if it makes you feel better, I enjoyed the visuals of that movie! Great job again. EDIT: Just noticed you also worked on Batman Begins and The Prestige. Both of those I've watched for the channel too. Also really great films.
You guys did a fantastic job on this movie, you should be proud!
Great job, you and all your team.
Stephen was name dropped in Winter Soldier. He was targeted by the Insight Helicarriers.
As a lifelong comic book nerd, as with Ant-man, I thought doing Dr. Strange would be next to impossible. Again, they knocked it out of the park. Just so well done...
“we never lose our demons, Mordo. we only learn to live above them.” bars, Tilda was perfect as Ancient One
I love that Marvel actually put a warning about driving carefully in the credits of this movie.
Of course the warning only comes AFTER...
@@WDanielFichtel "Cue uncontrollable burst of laughter."
The 'scar' on her head was from tapping into the dark dimension, the 'scar' was how Mordo knew Strange was right about her doing it.
Forget theaters. This movie is AMAZING in 3D on a VR headset.
Benedict Cumberbatch was amazing in this. And the music at the end when he goes up those stairs to the end credits was beautiful; feels like it symbolized his journey to hero.
Something that is easy to miss in the credits is that Cumberbatch pulled double duty in this film: he also provides the voice for Dormamu. Also, I can never see Mordo without thinking of the actor's role as the bounty hunter in "Serenity."
He was masterful in that. I'll use this excuse for a minor hijack and say Kaiielle simply must react to Firefly and Serenity.
He was so bad ass in Serenity! I first saw him in Love Actually. He's great in pretty much every role he takes.
Operative*
And a new dimension, mind the pun, of the MCU is revealed magic and mysticism. Strange in a lot of ways is just like Tony a wealthy successful man with a sharp tongue and an ego the size of a continent. Until a tragic accident ruined him forced him to become humble and be more than he thought he was. Except while Tony is a man of technology Stephen found his purpose in ancient primordial energies. What I really love about this movie is how Strange defeated the main villain not with strength or smarts but by annoying the hell out of Dormammu until he gave into his demands which is admirable all the times Stephen had to die and suffer for the world until Dormammu surrendered.
Love your comment, I wanted to point out he did use his smarts when he thought about the time loop, it was pretty brilliant
@nightwingman666 well, there is the saying that technology, if it's sufficiently advanced compared to those who observe it, can be indistinguishable from magic. 😉
kaiielle the part where christine was in the closet and got scared when the mop fell was rachel's real scream , the director never told her that the mop was going to fall
Because it wasn't going to fall, it was a blooper which came out perfectly.
Wong is in The Martian too. I really love the small details in the MCU, like Tony Stark hating to be handing things or Wong's love for Beyonce.
The guy playing Mordo is also in The Martian.
I like that Dr Strange bargained with Dormmamu for 10,000 years
Bumblebee Cummerbund is always a win. My personal favorite of his was the BBC show Sherlock. I'll be sure to throw that on the suggestions list. Couldn't find a mirror so here's a clock 🕰
Strange and Christine were a "thing" a long time ago. That's why she came up with the "Strange policy" or whatever she said. She dated him, it ended bad, so she doesn't date other co workers. But they still are cute together and there's still a spark there in this movie. They've learned to be friends still. Even if difficult on her at times
The broom falling was a mistake as was her response. They decided to keep it.
I love that they kept it in!
Perfect grounding moment!
I was wondering how they timed that so perfectly!
Dark fact: Kevin Feige revealed that the all the fights beetwen Dormammu and Stephen in the time loop are equal to 50 years. If every fight was like 10 minutes that means that Stephen died 2,6 million times, he literally take it for the team there

Damn you must be old as fuck, my parents were both born in 64
I loved that he beat the bad guy by using his brain instead of just a big ol' punching match.
Kaiielle watching this movie in theaters was trippy and crazy . Also Benedict did the voice of dormammu
I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip to Nepal because of the pandemic. My brother and his wife were halfway through their trip in March of 2020 when everything started suddenly shutting down. They had to quickly make their way back to Kathmandu and wait in an empty hotel (all the help lived across the border and had gone home) for a week while the American Consulate arranged for a flight to bring them back to the US.

Fun fact about this particualr Stan Lee Cameo. Stan was on the bus laughing as he was reading the book that inspired him to create Doctor Strange.
I figured the book had some kind of meaning! That's awesome.

Of all the MCU movies, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed since the start, this one, and Doctor Strange, resonate the most with me personally. 2 decades of constant pain, 12 years of major surgeries, 5 of them, after many screws, plates, titanium cages and donor bone I’m 80% pain free.

The most important character in the MCU was introduced in this film, and thus the Wong saga begins! 🪞
You're so calm, and collected; your comments are intelligent and always on point. Luv your reactions Kaiielle. Thank you! :)
In the car before he wrecked he was consulting on James Rhodes from when he got hurt in civil war.
Take a listen to the cases he's given before the car wreck. You might hear a reference to an Avenger.
I believe there is a minor aristocrat in the UK with the title of Baron Strange. It is a real name. He also happens to be crook.
Are there any aristocrats who aren't? :)
Almost seems a shame not to be; appears to be the point of the concept. "Steal a loaf, get the noose. Steal a million, get a title". Stalin would fit right in (and, come to think of it, did).
😂I’m still dying. Kaiielle (like 2 hundred times😃🤭): the cape. The cape. The cape.
Me (all 200 times): it’s not a cape! It’s a cloak!😂😂😂
Capes are shorter, cloaks are full-length. Edna Mode "No capes!"
I'll be pedantic. Dr. Strange is a sorcerer. He uses knowledge of natural and supernatural forces to cast spells. Wanda was experimented on with one of the infinity stones and the result was more like her becoming a mutant. In fact, in the comic books she is a mutant.
She's not currently a mutant in the comics. They keep retconning her origin...
Yup. And the ultimate villain in the Marvel universe...
PT for hands like this could take years. I had some trouble with nerves in my forearms and I did exercises every day for 2 years to get back some of it and its never going to get back perfect. So for him, the need to be very precise and very still, I don't think it would be possible without the mytical aspect.
Oh wow, much longer than I thought! Thank you for sharing.
They don't say it in the movie, but Dr. Strange basically *power-leveled* himself against Dormamu, amirite? I mean, when you're playing a game with protection beyond your level in order to fight baddies way above your level... and you gain lots of experience from it... that's power leveling. He got to try a bunch of different spells against a resisting opponent (vs imagining one with McDojo katas in the mirror dimension), so he could really get a feel for whether he can survive certain attacks or not, and which kind of defenses work best against those attacks... while practicing his defenses under duress in rapid succession (the old "Think fast!" school yard flinch check).
So yeah, that's my head canon. He upped himself over and over, using his superior memory to maximize the extremely unique training opportunity.
kaiielle: posts MCU Monday entry.
Me: *bounces with joy!*
I believe the eye glitter was practical. If you go back to where he's talking to strange in the contraption you can see his eyes tear up from the irritation. Good movie and now you can see the how a meme was made from this using Dr strange shooting out of the Earth to the song of "Bag Raiders Shooting Stars" fits so well.
Some surgeons do listen to music when they operate and there are some that don’t like to have music played. I know when my wife had her c-section they played some 80s music which is a big favorite of my wife and myself. It helped to keep us both relaxed. 8:43 I deal with chronic pain everyday and it’s hard to manage at times especially with stress added to the mix. I always have to remind myself to not take the frustration of the pain out on my family. Especially when we are having an argument about something small. Benedict Cumberbatch does a great job portraying Dr Strange. His portrayal mimics most of the animated versions I’ve seen. I love how Dr Strange deals with Doramomu. Mordo is a very dangerous man cause he’s the kind that only sees in black and white and doesn’t allow for any gray/color areas. The world isn’t black and white. You have to color outside the lines sometime within reason.
Dr. Strange has always been my favorite character. The beautiful artwork and mystic aesthetic was fascinating to me as a kid. Always explained him to people unfamiliar with the character as 'Batman with magic instead of tech'.
I also completely loved the fact they didn't have him defeat Dormammu through magical strength/force. He outmaneuvered him instead. The movie captures the style and look I feel in love with in the comic panels all those years ago. Story wise, this may not be the strongest MCU flick, but it's my favorite.
Outmaneuvered first, out-endured second. A great example of the idea that hate can rage, but love abides.
Wong in the comics is a stereotypical manservant. He's not a sorcerer at all. It was fun to see the movie give him a more substantial presence and function in the world of Doctor Strange.
Imagined how tripped out you would have been seeing this is 3D....those mirror dimension scenes and the scene when Strange first has his mind opened up when first meeting the ancient one were awesome!!
This is my favorite Marvel movie. I liked how it was different by embracing magic and mind bending visuals.
At the beginning of the movie, Stephen is self-centered, arrogant, unsympathetic, dismissive and emotionally dysfunctional. The only real value he places on himself is his ability to be an excellent surgeon. He measures everyone against (and therefore, below) his himself. He's borderline sociopathic at the beginning, but I think it has more to do with him being an extreme narcissists than being bad. He simply doesn't place value on other people unless they can do something for him. It's fun to watch him grow and change as the movie progresses.
39:57 ...."Endless loop of time".. If Dormammu simply ignore Strange, he would've win......
Hi KL! I’ve been binge watching your Marvel movie reactions since yesterday and I just wanted to drop by to say that i’m glad you liked this movie. My sister and I watched this in the cinemas without a clue about him, and we ended up loving him. He’s one of my fave Marvel heroes now. Definitely one of my fave Marvel origin stories ❤
I remember seeing this movie in the theater and loving it. I was so impressed that they were able to convincingly pull off "magic" in this universe that has almost entirely to this point been grounded in science. Other than Wanda, Doctor Strange is the first character we've seen in the MCU with mystical abilities.
You may not remember, but Doctor Strange was mentioned in "CA the Winter Soldier" when Agent Sitwell was running off names of potential threats.
My favorite Marvel hero ❤❤❤❤ This movie is easily my favorite solo movie. Benedict Cumberbatch was a perfect casting. He was phenomenal. You need to watch some of his movies he’s a chameleon and an amazing actor.
One of the things I love about this movie is that the teachers at Kamar-Taj, with very few exceptions, do mean it when Wong says "No knowledge is forbidden." The only time Mordo tells Strange to stop asking questions, it's because they're supposed to be training in something else, and he shouldn't let himself be distracted
If you like Chiwetel Ejiofor, you should watch the Firefly series & then the linked movie Serenity. He's in the movie, not the series, but you have to watch the series first to really get the full impact of the movie. There are only 14 episodes of the series (it was cancelled before they finished the season) so it's not a huge commitment! 🔎 Couldn't find a mirror emoji!
You mentioned Wanda. The difference between them is Wanda and other witches have magic as an innate ability. Wizards have to learn magic through study and practice.
Fun Fact: Cumberbatch also provided the voice of Doramamu in this film (and the voice of Smaug in the Hobbit film).
I went on a cruise on March 1st 2020. We got back on March 8th. About a week or two later the country shut down. We were lucky we got that cruise in.
First time me and the wife saw this was in a huge IMAX theater... in 3-D - that blew my mind big time! If there's any Marvel movie you want to see in 3-D, it's this one. :o)
So cool!
I really enjoyed the psychedelic design in Doctor Strange. It really brought Steve Dikto's designs to life!
It is so enjoyable watching you discovering the MCU. Thanks for sharing your journey. Excited for the rest of it! 😎
Thanks Chris!
Kaiielle was the vfx supervisor of this video and I really enjoyed the visuals. Camera and lighting on POINT! Lookin FLY! 😎
Really looking forward to your Everest vlogs. I'll take a Cliffhanger reaction in the mean time! 🪞
Shoutout to C. Robert Cargill who is one of the writers on this movie! (Also helped write Sinister and The Black Phone.)
I used to listen to Cargill's movie/box office reviews all the way back in 2008 and it's been an absolute treat for me to see his career growth over the years.
Really happy you enjoyed this film! :)
You might have missed it, but one of the patients he was getting offered in the car was a "US Airforce colonel with a spinal injury from a mechanical suit". He was offered the chance to operate on Rhodey (Warmachine) to help him walk again, but turned it down because it wasn't 'interesting' enough.
Late to the reply, but I subscribe to the theory that the pilot in question was the guy in Hammer's suit in Iron Man 2. It would take some time for Strange to train in the montages and get caught up to the main timeline where Rhodes was just injured.
it's not Rhodey actually
This is one of my favourite movies in the MCU, there is something about Doctor Strange that really catches my attention. I feel like the fact he died millions of times in the dark dimension and no one knows about it is kind of tragic.
3:23 for a time I put on the guardians of the galaxy mixtape in every OR i worked in 😂😂😂 (anesthesiologisthere)
Yes, we play all kinds of music. We also joke and have fun during routine surgeries.
Although we joke more than the surgical staff. Anesthesiology is the chill side of the surgical cloth . We're also the only people that are always allowed to sit in the OR. All the other plebs have to stand (with rare exceptions) 😅
Love the reactions being very genuine with little jumps in edits. Great video and you earned another subscriber. - Keep riding that Algorithm!
Thanks so much! 🥳
🪞🪞🪞Of the current 40 MCU projects, I rank this movie at #23, which seems brutal, but not really I just really love the MCU altogether!
[This is not a spoiler]…
I know you don’t like watching trailers before watching movies (which is bonkers to me 😁), but something in this movie reminded me of a special trailer leading up to Avengers Endgame. If you won’t watch it before Endgame then right after you should watch the “To The End” trailer to that movie. It is an awesome piece of art.
I saw this in iMax. It was a real event in history for me
totally love the movie..great casting..visuals is wow..one of the best in the mcu..😊
I've always wanted to go to Shambhala. The music isn't really my jam... But let's say the atmosphere and the people and the state of mind are RIGHT up my alley 😂.
36:27 "you are on the wong side of history" 😂😂😂
Great reaction! I did want to mention that I have been to Kathmandu, Nepal. Even though I was there volunteering as a nurse for a 4 weeks, however, I was really there do some soul searching. I didn't go to Everest or the base of it, but I met some wonderful people, some delicious food (try the falafel wraps), and a spiritual renewal. I also pushed my limits like bungee jumping, white water rafting, and karaoke lol. I definitely recommend visiting such a beautiful place, but of course, please be safe and take needed precautions. Looking forward to your reactions for the rest of the MCU. What were the sorcerers up to during the invasion of New York hmmm ;) lol
We find out in Endgame
18:35 Ah yes, the technique used to teach my uncle to swim when he was in the navy. It can't be too effective - he never did learn ^.^ 🪞
Heck yeah, magic! 🪞
Looking good on this upload. No mirror emoji.
Glad to see another great reaction. And as always great to see your beauty. I think you’ll be wanting more of a MCU fix the further you go on.
🪞Once again, a super fun reaction! A nice way to ease into the week after my birthday weekend. 😊 I saw this movie in the theater in 3D. 🤯❤❤❤❤❤ (also, it hadn’t clicked with me before, but Chiwetal and Benedict Wong were BOTH in The Martian 😊)
They were both in The Martian yeah, but I knew Wong, just couldn't remember Chiwetel.
Hi kaiielle. Once again you're a joy to watch. Like you I love visual epic effects. My collection is big!! I'm a massive Marvel fan and Doctor strange is one of my favourite original solo story. I do wish you had seen in 3D IMAX. It was breathtakingly mind blowing stunning. This is the reason why I own all of the Marvel films done in 3D. You haven't seen nothing yet because their is much more see and blow your mind. Your passion for this reminds me of my own. Have a great day and stay wonderful 🤩💖💫🙏🏾
I tell myself this is what an acid trip must be like
🪞This movie is SO GOOD! Loved your reaction!
Still my favorite MCU movie : ) Those street effects might be imitated from inception, I think they fit very well with the rest of the reality distortion effects. The mister doctor gag always cracks me up. I also love the end with him winning because he was willing to spend eternity dying, and not beating the enemy at all really.
Also MVP = cape : )
Like the man says... Pain is an old friend.
I'm so glad you liked Dr Strange. i feel like we are on the same wavelength bc I too wasn't the biggest fan of gaurdians but love movies like Dr Strange. :D
So glad to know I'm not the only one!
"Protect the world from Dormammu." My closed captioning said, "Protect the world from your momma."
Hahahha someone said this during the premiere! I wish I had the time or used the right software to be able to get all my captions for my videos accurate. At this time, I just have to use the RUclips auto captioning. It can result in hilarious things like this sometimes.
@@kaiielle I always find it amusing that any time a reactor uses the term "low-key," the closed captions write "Loki." The God of Mischief is messing with us through the fourth wall!
I work in the OR and we do listen to music. Surgeon preference of course.
So the watch drawer is actually based on a real thing, an automatic winder. Automatic watches, work on motion throughout the day. An automatic winder constantly turns them to keep them wound. Sadly, the thing that makes it look cool is completely superfluous because the watches are facing straight up. To work, they would have to be on their sides.
In France a Sorcerer Supreme is called a a Sorcerer Royale with cheese.
Love this movie!
To me it's Indiana Jones meets Harry Potter.
John Willams should've composed the music for this lol.
Well... Dr. Jones met Harry Potter, long before the war. Potter made him survive the trip outside the German sub, for more than 100 sea miles... ♿
I love your reactions so much. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Jason!
@@kaiiellecan you watch the mummy 2, please?
Not sure if I've seen a reaction yet that notices the "army colonel with spinal trauma" Strange dismisses as not worth his time in the car ride is referring to Rhodey and his Civil War injury.
Yeah, I definitely didn't notice it in the moment, but some of my Patreon members told me about it!
I believe they clarified it wasn't Rhodes but the guy who tested Hammer's suit.
Rhodes isn't in the Army. He's in the Air Force.
@@havok6280 That's true. I never heard that but it makes sense.
Between the crash and him running out of money probably takes most of phase 1 and 2. We see the seasons pass in Kamartage from spring to autumn. I think that's how the time frame goes. And when really knows how long Strange spends in that time loop.
@@havok6280 yes exactly! They talk about that test pilot of hammer tech from ironman 2 . Rhodes is with Tony health support ,is doing fine !
Kaiielle ... you don't just love magic....you love the bad guys! Oh no haha. (Antman ,and now Dr. Strange). (However ... that is what makes these MCU movies good, is that everyone, good guys, bad guys, and those in between ... often have more depth.) As for the Ancient One .... Tilda Swinton - I love anything she is in.
And of course ... the emoji ... 🪞
One it's a Cloak and it's a sidekick not something he wears...
Sorry, did I say somewhere in this reaction that I thought the cloak was *just* a piece of clothing?
The Mirror Dimension, and _Inception_. Definitely an overlap there.
Dormammu...the Dark Dimension...trippy cool. Like the black light posters I had in the 70's.
Benefit Lumberjacks!
Hi Kaiielle I really love watching your reaction to touch strange my favorite part is the time loop . Dormammu I've come to bargain😂😂 I can't wait to see you react to doctor strange 2 someday soon !!!
10:14 Yeah I don't have the money for any of that. I'd love to travel, it just takes money I don't have.
Mood, honestly.
When my friend and I saw this we decided on IMAX 3D or not at all, which was AWESOME! I could find no flaws with this movie, and after the first scene we said, "If you don't find that awesome you have to be a Jane Austen fan, or just stupid!" I'm immensely enjoying your reactions, I hope to see your reviews of Shang-Chi and others soon. Have you seen or done the X-Men movies yet? And if you wanna see Chiwetel Ejiofor at his best and most sinister, do a reaction of Serenity. (You don't even need to watch Firefly to get everything. Written and Directed by the genius Joss Whedon)
It amazes me every time how similar our tastes are. I LOVED this film when I first saw it. I also thought BC was the perfect casting choice. This movie is way too slept on IMO. I'm so curious (and nervous) about how you will feel about Thor Ragnarok easily a top tier MCU for me, but comedic which I know you don't always love. Anyway, great job as always! Loving this journey.
The comedy is really hit and miss for me with this franchise, so I won't know til I watch! Wait and see.
You asked if surgeons do something like this in the beginning of the movie.
and the answer is a clear YES.
surgeons reacted to this movie in the past and all said that its not uncommon to play music or make some jokes, depending on the needed procedure and worktime.
