"We never lose our demons, we only learn to live above them" is my favorite line in the MCU (and most likely all movies). Around 1-2 decades ago I had severe depression for a few years. And even afterwards I always struggled to not relapse (nearly happened a few times) and get rid of that past. At some random rewatch that line stuck with me and made me think and see my past in a whole new light. By now I've accepted that I will never lose this "demon" of mine, that it will be always with me. And instead of trying so hard to get rid of it, I rather learned to "live above it". I've accepted that past and can be quite open about it now. I've also learned to see the signs that could make me relapse and how to adjust once they are there. Though I didn't have any for a few years by now and am well-adjusted and happy. 😊 Thanks for speaking up in the beginning. I hope you (and everyone else) have all the support you need ❤
I hope you know Stef that perhaps the biggest reason for me to watch reactors like you is that I have very few friends - zero locally - and no one to do anything with, not even to watch a movie with ;D I'm very alone but you make me feel less so, sometimes. I love you and appreciate you!
I loved your opening about being kind. Usually people who bully others are often treated like crap themselves, so they take their anger out on others. It’s a viscous cycle.
Your message was received too. This is a place where you don't have to feel alone. We're all here for you and each other. See you at the next reaction. Peace.
@@mtpugh feeling alone and feeling like you dont deserve anything is a really hard place to be in. Im struggling lol but im waking up everyday and living so im working on it.
@@NerdyBigBrother yes those are two distinctive feelings and both are difficult to handle. Just know that you are worth it and we're here to help you feel less alone.
@@deathswitch2404 The amazing thing about the MCU is that the movies can be very different, appealing to different tastes, but they're all really good.
Brutal fact: Kevin Feige confirmed that the loop time battle beetween Strange and Dormammu was an equivalent of aprox. 50 years. If every rounds have a duration of 10 min aprox then Stephen died like a 2629800 times. But the most brutal of all of this is the fact that everytime he respawned his body was still feeling the pain of is last dead, so yeah "pain is an old friend"
That's why he is somewhat unskilled mage in this movie, but shows incredible mastery in the following ones - he had decades of practice in the harshest conditions imaginable.
bro did you not watch it?? he said "pain is an old friend" while he was IN the loop. he wasn't talking about the exact same loop he was in. he was referencing his struggles getting his hands back.
Five Infinity Stones seen so far: Tesseract (pictured in Guardians of the Galaxy when the Collector was opening the Orb, now in Odin's Vault) The Aether (from Thor: Dark World, in the Collector's possession) Power Stone (Guardians of the Galaxy, now at Nova Core on Xandar) Mind Stone (Vision's forehead) Time Stone (Dr Strange)
3:40 Tbh, you’re awesome. I watch reactions because I have no one to watch things with due to my ptsd and VA therapists don’t really help. I could say i know how you feel but everyone is different. Again you’re awesome 👍 thank you for being you
31:39 - "are we gonna learn about the cape?" Yes we briefly got an explanation of objects previously. 25:48 - Mordo - "this is a relic. Some magics are too powerful to sustain so we imbue objects with it. Allowing them to take the strain we cannot" Strange - "When do i get my relic?" Mordo - "When you're ready" Strange - "Im ready" Mordo - "You're ready when the relic decides you're ready" 34:50 - "The Cloak of Levitation, it came to you" 58:30 At the end of Thor the dark world we are left with Loki posing as Odin. So were left with the question "Wheres Odin?"
You have a strong caring heart, hope you and everyone else healed a little from this movie. You always have people who care, no one is really alone (have to remember that myself). So great to see your face light up at the first astral projection scene! Things are coming together, lots to learn, only way is to keep going!
Scenes like Steven’s argument with Christine is why I like marvel movies, at least the old ones. They do such a good job at making the world seem so much like ours. The character development and story are why I love marvel movies, the powers are just a bonus.
There’s a stereotype of the phenomenal doctor who’s a giant a-hole, but he’s the a-hole you want on your side when you’re in a crisis. Strange and House are the two that immediately spring to mind, but there are a lot in TV and movies over the past 20 years or so, as opposed to the kind fatherly (or grandfatherly) types you used to see. Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One) is pretty much phenomenal in everything she appears in. She was the White Witch in the Narnia movies, the Angel Gabriel in the Keanu Reeves _Constantine,_ and she won an Oscar for her role in _Michael Clayton._ And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -Ian McLaren We’re all in this together, thank you for being there for us. Hopefully we can be there for you too, Stef. Take care of yourself, hope the move goes well. Doctor Strange is such a cool character, I love this movie as an introduction to him. I had to have hand surgery around the time this movie came out on Blu-Ray, so I watched it a lot while recovering and getting my left hand to work properly again. As an amateur sleight of hand magician, I feel a certain kinship to him. If only magic was real… Couple of fun tiny details, Stephen Strange was mentioned in Captain America: Winter Soldier. Sitwell threw out his name along with Bruce Banner’s as someone the algorithm controlling the trio of Helicarriers could target. Further detail, you can see the date of his car crash on his watch if you pause the frame; February 2nd, Groundhog Day… and he later saves the world with a time loop. :D
I've been dealing with the darkest of times on my own for years, Stef. But I want you to know I'm so glad I found your channel a few months ago because your videos have legitimately managed to be a genuine ray of light in my life. We love you and we're always here for you! Regarding Odin.....if you'll recall at the end of Thor 2, we thought Loki had died in the Dark World. But during the closing moments of the movie, we saw that Loki was sitting on the throne as Odin in an illusory disguise. So did Loki do something with the real Odin? We don't know.
The meme at the time was "The best three lines from Doctor Strange. 1: Dormammu I've come to bargain. 2: Dormammu I've come to bargain. 3: Dormammu I've come to bargain."
Shower thought: If the internet was around in '87, it'd be 1. Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die 2.Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die 3.Hello, My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die
Don't let people on the internet get you down. Your words of kindness mean so much to so many people watching. Me included. I know how hard it can be feeling alone. My two uni roommates kicked me out for another person, leaving me to live alone in my own apartment. It's hard sometimes, but there are so many kind people out there who do care. ❤
The scene where Strange was yelling at Christine looked like it really struck a nerve. I hope you heal from whatever is going on. I'll be praying for you, Stef. Love the content
Hey Stef. I just found your channel and I've been watching your reactions. I just want to tell you that you have a great heart and after that intro I want to give you a big hug. Thank you for your channel.
Hey Stef great reaction as always. Remember at the end of Thor the Dark World when Thor tells Odin he can't be king, and then we learn that it was actually Loki pretending to be Odin. That left us all wondering "what happened to Odin?" That's the story thread they're picking up in the end credits here.
I remember a local radio DJ who did the morning program as part of a duo who paused the show to open up about the feelings he was dealing with, mainly on account of social media and online abuse he was getting. It struck a chord with the community, with many reaching out to offer support and discuss similar things they were going through. The point is I'm glad Stef opened up, because there is a support group right here in the comment section. You only have to scroll down to see it. Stef, here's what I know. Many people don't understand the reaction concept. Quite a few do too, or have their own ideas, but to me, it is this. Simultaneously reliving our first time viewing vicariously through your eyes and sharing the viewing experience with someone instead of watching it alone, because in a world this interconnected it is oft remarked how easy it is to feel disconnected. You're a remarkably empathetic young woman which makes your channel one of my personal favourites, and I'm positive that I'm not alone in that sentiment. Come back to this comments section any time you're feeling down from here on, because with only 318 comments, it's already full of the love you deserve.
The unique visual aesthetic of Doctor Strange originates from Steve Ditko's original comics, known for their psychedelic style, bold lines, intricate patterns, and surreal perspectives. Ditko's imaginative landscapes and magical beings helped shape the character's visual identity, which was later adapted for Doctor Strange (2016). Since 1995, I've been a fan of Doctor Strange.
The one thing about Dr. Strange (that I was told....I didnt read the comics so could be wrong) that is super awesome is that Strange was a natural at the mystic arts, and was powerful in his own right. However, when he imprisons Dormamu in the Endless time loop and dies over and over again fighting him, he was actually getting better at sorcery and the mystic arts. The movie makes it look like he only died a handful of times and then Dormamu gives up, but it actually was like centuries or thousands of years of that loop repeating itself, so when Dormamu finally gives up, Dr. Strange has been practicing the mystic arts for a REALLY LONG TIME, and thats why he is sooo good at it immediately afterwards.
Appreciated the message stef, we know that we're never alone. In fact, one of the reasons why i started watching movie reactions is because i never had people who liked the things i liked, so reactors was always that friend that was experiencing these things for the first time. So just know, you doing these videos is helping more than you can ever know
You have more support than you think and you will never be alone! That’s all I hear is you thanking people for their support and rightfully so! I feel you are a kind person with a huge heart, that’s why I love watching your reactions on RUclips! Trust me, you are loved and will never be alone
Stef - To answer your Odin question, go back to Thor: Dark World. Remember at the end when Thor went back to Asgard and "Odin" let him go back to Earth to be with Jane? Then we find out that Odin is actually Loki in disguise and he didn't die in the movie. This raises the question on where is Odin? More answers to all this in Thor Ragnarok, the third Thor movie.
It is great to have a reaction video where the reaction her is so in touch and so vulnerable and so open about her emotions. This is a person that has the ability to feel deeply. I wish there were more people like her who could have such deep emotions to be able to empathize and experience. Perhaps this world would be much better place as they were more people like this.
Thank you for doing these! I think your goal of making people smile is so clear from watching your reactions/music/etc and it's very inspiring! Good luck on packing 💪😤
Thank you for your message on being kind. It's especially impactful coming from you. I wish you all the happiness in the world because you deserve it. This movie marks the beginning of the MCU blurring the worlds between SciFi and magic.
I became a content creator and started building a community based on that same kindness and compassion you're talking about. I want people to know that, as you said, they aren't alone, and that they can always have a space where they can find friendship and comfort. You're not alone either, Stef. You're welcome in the wolf pack anytime. Regardless, keep on doing what you're doing, and keep bringing joy to thousands, while still taking time for yourself when you need it. You've got this 💜
You keep saying that you're going through something, and it makes me feel bad to know that you're struggling with something but still trying to keep up with the channel for us, I love how dedicated you are to us, but I think we could all agree that you need to take care of yourself too! I appreciate you and I'm glad I found your channel! Much love from Texas!!
Stef we love you. Listen to me, everything is going to be ok. I'm praying for you and sending you love and light. Whenever you need us, we will be there❤
Love your reactions. The into was thoughtful and kind, but also telling. Don't know what you are going through but could tell from lines in the movie and the way you reacted that it weighing heavy on you. I know that if you keep the thoughtfulness and kindness and openness you will get through it and be a better person for it. Wishing you love and kindness in all you do.
Dear Stef, a saying I like is that the tallest trees catch the most wind. By putting yourself out here you are incredibly brave, and I hope that "catching wind" while you grow does not discourage you. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I look forward to the time you spend with us, and I hope that after this stressful move you will feel more comfortable. I just had to downsize from a big house to a small little place, getting rid of decades of memories, and it felt like I had to tear a part of my heart out. All the best, and keep growing, no matter how uncomfortable it makes people.
besides End game and infinity wars, this is my favorite marvel movie. It's just so cleanly done and unique to the rest of the goofier stories. the concept of bending time and shaping the universe is also such a curious one too, it's just beautiful to watch.
Bless your beautiful, generous and kind heart, Stef. I wish you happiness and I want to thank you for the happiness you have sent my way via your content. Thank you for making me smile.
34:25 - Fun fact - The falling mop wasn't scripted and Rachel McAdams' freaked out reaction is genuine. Director Scott Derrickson was so impressed McAdams stayed in character that he kept the it in the film.
Usually I just pop into the comments to answer geeky questions, but I just wanted to add my voice to I'm sure scores of others by now to just let you know that what you do, putting your self out into the world this way is brave, and appreciated. You do help me feel less alone. Thank you.
You're a joy Stef. Bravo to you for being concerned with the wellness of others. Sometimes, getting through something difficult can be eased simply by knowing one isn't alone. Suffering is universal, so anything anyone can do to ease that, is the height of human courage and empathy. And, this movie is amazing (and touches on the above topic...). Top tier MCU.
It's so odd that we're more connected than ever because of the Internet, but more disconnected and separated. It's easy to feel alone. Moving out can make you feel alone too, so I'm glad you have this community to share your time with.
To explain Thanos and his 'power': On his home planet, there are two races that exist in conflict with each other, Deviants and Eternals (another movie that youll see later). Thanos is a mutant between the two. He has superhuman strength and genius intelligence. Like Cap and Hulk, he has given himself a supersoldier serum that enhances his already crazy strong genetics. Like Tony Stark, he gives himself enhancements through his tech. Like Thor and Strange, he also uses dark magic. He is basically an amalgam of every Avenger and is meant to be a foil to all of their abilities and powers. It takes a team to stand a chance against him, and he is one of the strongest beings in all of Marvel comics, even without any weapons or Infinity Stones.
Aw stef honey it doesnt take a genius to see that your quite obviously a wonderful, kind person yourself! Your reactions really brighten up my day! I hope whatever you are going through it works out. In sure it will love from Australia.
That trippy out of body experience scene is one of the coolest scenes in an MCU movie. Hopefully you can rewatch it on a very nice TV someday soon. Also that Dormamu I've come to bargain scene is another stunning on a high end TV.
I love your reactions, they always feel so genuine and it feels good to see you react like we all do. You seem so kind in your heart and seeing that cheers me up even when I’m unable to, Thank you!
Great reaction Stef! You’ll remember that at the end of the second Thor movie he spoke to his father at the end and it turned out that it was Loki who had replaced Odin. So we don’t know yet where Odin is, only that Loki was impersonating him in Asgard.
If anyone is curious, check out a movie called Doctor Mordrid. Long story short it was supposed to be a Doctor Strange movie, but they lost the rights during production and basically said screw it let’s just change the names and keep making it. It’s a pretty neat movie!
There is a green light on your microphone. When your hand gets close, it picks up the green color, which makes it look like you are wielding the time stone
OH YAY. 😆 And sorry all the comments I leave. This channel is just... its helping me. A Lot. Ill put it that way. Finally, Stef and Dr Strange. Fun. ^___^ This guy is one of my favs. Next to Iron Man and Thor.
Stay strong Stef, you're not alone. On a lighter note, Rachels reaction to the mop handle hitting the floor was 100% authentic, it just happened. The timing couldn't have been better and her actual jump scare was so priceless, it had to make the final cut. It must have been a directors wet dream, to know that, having not called 'cut' yet, meant he had that moment on film.
I’m 100% aloan in life.. just move forward don’t think of the past because it will drag you down set a goal and work towards it. You’ll make it through. Yeah being alone is a fact of life u have to work on friendships and relationships if you want one it doesn’t come easy. me personally, I think being alone is awesome. Having people to talk to is awesome to, but for me, I like being alone less to worry about.
The Wong laugh is one of the most meta jokes in the MCU. Earlier Strange quips "people used to laugh at my jokes" to which Wong replies "DID THEY USED TO WORK FOR YOU ?" At the end of the battle Strange makes a joke and Wong laughs. Why ? Because he works for him now !
I'm sorry that you're going through things. I can relate. Let me just say watching your reactions and listening to your intelligent analysis has helped me get through some of my bad days. So I am appreciative.
Hope your doing okay. Thanks for the content and thanks for always being so uplifting, i hope you know people love you and that your video's bring joy to lots of people including me😁
I barely listen to intros but yours really touched my soul cause people really be out of touch with actual reality and humanity. Thank you for taking time to address that for real!! Whatever you're going through we'll be here as a collective to support you. ♥
Man I remember loving this movie so much when it came out, Doctor Strange became one of my favorites in the MCU and I loved every time he popped up in the few comics I have read. I really enjoy the path that Strange takes through the movie and his growth followed in subsecuent movies. Also kinda hits harder now because I treasure and use my hands so much that I wouldn't imagine something even close to that happening to me. I haven't watched it in years and this was a nice way to re-experience it.
We love you Stef. Hugs from Atlanta. I used to live and work in Seattle. There are many beautiful natural areas outside the city proper that are worth visiting.
Hi Stef: 1. Liked your kickoff msg, 💕, never alone. 2. It's a cloak, Stef, the Cloak of Levitation. It's a relic so it chooses you. 3. Yes, there is a Dr S 2 (Phase 4). Mordo is essentially a bad guy now, yes. 4. That's the fifth infinity stone, Stef. 5. Thanos will hear, yes. 6. You summed up the different worlds in the MCU pretty well. 7. Next time stone appearance is Infinity War. 8. Next Thor movie is where you'll see Odin. 9. GOG 2 is next, Stef. See ya, Peace ✌
What a great message in the intro I had to rewind a couple times because I'm going through a lot also and the reactor community is exactly what helps me not feel alone
Stef, I loved this reaction and how fun you make it. Remember that whatever you happen to be going through, with good friends in your corner anything is possible....
Loved to hear your kind words at the beginning. I'm been single since 09 and lonely. It hurts to hear people that are in pain. Brought tears to my eyes. I always thought it was like a curse or something to be alone or feel alone. However recently I discovered for myself that I'm actually blessed for it. Never fit in with any crowd. I am pretty much the opposite of the norm of society. Never thought that I would be thankful for it. Just hang in there, sometimes that's all we can do. I could on about this for days so I guess I'll end it there.
Hello Stef!😊 It looks like you did your hair again. It looks nice!💇🏻♀😉 Great reactions to your very first Doctor Strange film, Stef!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope whatever you are going through gets better, Stef. Just stay strong. We all love you!😘 There is a sequel: "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" (2022). You really need to watch the "WandaVision" (2021) miniseries before you watch that one. There are only 9 episodes.😉

I wish I could give you a hug. Tough times don't last, tough people do. You've gotten through 100% of all rough times so far.
I don’t know what you’re going through, but never forget that you matter and we’re lucky to have you. You make the world a better place.
Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared in which case... YOU ENERGY !

From the moment he walks up those steps to the end credits, that beautiful music I felt symbolizes his journey to becoming a hero.
Even all these years later, this is still one of the most visually stunning movies in the MCU. Just amazing.

The Aether (from Thor: Dark World, in the Collector's possession)
Power Stone (Guardians of the Galaxy, now at Nova Core on Xandar)

You forgot the one in Hulk... it was in his urinal... the Kidney Stone.
But its powers suck.
Spoiler
@@thestokes91these have all been revealed, there’s no spoiler here
The teseract was first seen in Captain America, then again in the first Avengers.
The scene where Strange yells at his girlfriend when he realizes he won't recover shows what a great choice they made in choosing a serious actor.
It’s one of my favorite scenes in marvel, feels so real and relatable.
Marvel has always been good at casting even in the current era where the movies are very hit or miss. Even their bad movies have good casting.

Couple of fun tiny details, Stephen Strange was mentioned in Captain America: Winter Soldier. Sitwell threw out his name along with Bruce Banner’s as someone the algorithm controlling the trio of Helicarriers could target. Further detail, you can see the date of his car crash on his watch if you pause the frame; February 2nd, Groundhog Day… and he later saves the world with a time loop. :D

I remember a local radio DJ who did the morning program as part of a duo who paused the show to open up about the feelings he was dealing with, mainly on account of social media and online abuse he was getting. It struck a chord with the community, with many reaching out to offer support and discuss similar things they were going through. The point is I'm glad Stef opened up, because there is a support group right here in the comment section. You only have to scroll down to see it.
Stef, here's what I know. Many people don't understand the reaction concept. Quite a few do too, or have their own ideas, but to me, it is this. Simultaneously reliving our first time viewing vicariously through your eyes and sharing the viewing experience with someone instead of watching it alone, because in a world this interconnected it is oft remarked how easy it is to feel disconnected. You're a remarkably empathetic young woman which makes your channel one of my personal favourites, and I'm positive that I'm not alone in that sentiment. Come back to this comments section any time you're feeling down from here on, because with only 318 comments, it's already full of the love you deserve.
Keep your head up Stef! You're not alone, we're all here!
If ANYBODY wants to chat, please reach out ❤
The unique visual aesthetic of Doctor Strange originates from Steve Ditko's original comics, known for their psychedelic style, bold lines, intricate patterns, and surreal perspectives. Ditko's imaginative landscapes and magical beings helped shape the character's visual identity, which was later adapted for Doctor Strange (2016). Since 1995, I've been a fan of Doctor Strange.
Thanks Stef for being so honest and helpful with your kind words and wonderful reactions.
Doctor Strange being just his name and title is a surprise for a lot of people.
The one thing about Dr. Strange (that I was told....I didnt read the comics so could be wrong) that is super awesome is that Strange was a natural at the mystic arts, and was powerful in his own right. However, when he imprisons Dormamu in the Endless time loop and dies over and over again fighting him, he was actually getting better at sorcery and the mystic arts. The movie makes it look like he only died a handful of times and then Dormamu gives up, but it actually was like centuries or thousands of years of that loop repeating itself, so when Dormamu finally gives up, Dr. Strange has been practicing the mystic arts for a REALLY LONG TIME, and thats why he is sooo good at it immediately afterwards.
Appreciated the message stef, we know that we're never alone. In fact, one of the reasons why i started watching movie reactions is because i never had people who liked the things i liked, so reactors was always that friend that was experiencing these things for the first time. So just know, you doing these videos is helping more than you can ever know
💯
"Alright.....LETS FUCKING DO THIS SHIT😤😤😤😤" lmao that was hilarious. Keep your head up👸
🧢🇺🇸: “I’ll let that one slide 😏”
You have more support than you think and you will never be alone! That’s all I hear is you thanking people for their support and rightfully so! I feel you are a kind person with a huge heart, that’s why I love watching your reactions on RUclips! Trust me, you are loved and will never be alone
You're making me cry. You are an absolute angel. You make the world a better place and I thank you.
Stef - To answer your Odin question, go back to Thor: Dark World. Remember at the end when Thor went back to Asgard and "Odin" let him go back to Earth to be with Jane? Then we find out that Odin is actually Loki in disguise and he didn't die in the movie. This raises the question on where is Odin? More answers to all this in Thor Ragnarok, the third Thor movie.
It is great to have a reaction video where the reaction her is so in touch and so vulnerable and so open about her emotions. This is a person that has the ability to feel deeply. I wish there were more people like her who could have such deep emotions to be able to empathize and experience. Perhaps this world would be much better place as they were more people like this.
Thank you for doing these! I think your goal of making people smile is so clear from watching your reactions/music/etc and it's very inspiring! Good luck on packing 💪😤
43:37 always quicksave before a boss fight
Yeah, the Cape is kinda like Alladin's Carpet. It's sentient and sometimes smarter.
Thank you for your message on being kind. It's especially impactful coming from you. I wish you all the happiness in the world because you deserve it.
This movie marks the beginning of the MCU blurring the worlds between SciFi and magic.
I became a content creator and started building a community based on that same kindness and compassion you're talking about. I want people to know that, as you said, they aren't alone, and that they can always have a space where they can find friendship and comfort.
You're not alone either, Stef. You're welcome in the wolf pack anytime. Regardless, keep on doing what you're doing, and keep bringing joy to thousands, while still taking time for yourself when you need it. You've got this 💜
You keep saying that you're going through something, and it makes me feel bad to know that you're struggling with something but still trying to keep up with the channel for us, I love how dedicated you are to us, but I think we could all agree that you need to take care of yourself too! I appreciate you and I'm glad I found your channel! Much love from Texas!!
Stef we love you. Listen to me, everything is going to be ok. I'm praying for you and sending you love and light. Whenever you need us, we will be there❤
Love your reactions. The into was thoughtful and kind, but also telling. Don't know what you are going through but could tell from lines in the movie and the way you reacted that it weighing heavy on you. I know that if you keep the thoughtfulness and kindness and openness you will get through it and be a better person for it.
Wishing you love and kindness in all you do.
Dear Stef, a saying I like is that the tallest trees catch the most wind. By putting yourself out here you are incredibly brave, and I hope that "catching wind" while you grow does not discourage you. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I look forward to the time you spend with us, and I hope that after this stressful move you will feel more comfortable.
I just had to downsize from a big house to a small little place, getting rid of decades of memories, and it felt like I had to tear a part of my heart out. All the best, and keep growing, no matter how uncomfortable it makes people.
PINCHE ESTEFANIA !!! 😭 I feel you and like you said you're not alone.
Appreciate the openness, the honesty and the mesage at the start of the video, Stef. You're brave and strong to share that!
besides End game and infinity wars, this is my favorite marvel movie. It's just so cleanly done and unique to the rest of the goofier stories. the concept of bending time and shaping the universe is also such a curious one too, it's just beautiful to watch.
Thanks for being here Stef. It’s much appreciated and needed distraction. You rock. 🤛😎👍❤️
Good luck with the move!
Stay safe, and stay hydrated.
It's still amazing Marvel was able to put this universe together.
Bless your beautiful, generous and kind heart, Stef. I wish you happiness and I want to thank you for the happiness you have sent my way via your content. Thank you for making me smile.
There are many of us alone out here and choose to be trust today isn't easy to give imo. Enjoyed your reaction thank you.
Life is scary but this is all our first time being here we are all learning
Dr Strange movie is really a good movie. I always heard about the character but didn't really get my attention until this movie. Such a fun time.
34:25 - Fun fact - The falling mop wasn't scripted and Rachel McAdams' freaked out reaction is genuine. Director Scott Derrickson was so impressed McAdams stayed in character that he kept the it in the film.
Usually I just pop into the comments to answer geeky questions, but I just wanted to add my voice to I'm sure scores of others by now to just let you know that what you do, putting your self out into the world this way is brave, and appreciated. You do help me feel less alone. Thank you.
I thought I was alone and now you have me all paranoid and constantly looking over my shoulder for someone coming to comfort me…thanks.
Boo!
@@MrDarkwing78 A lesser man would have squealed like a little girl, hidden under the covers and called his mommy.
Not me though…..nope.
You're a joy Stef. Bravo to you for being concerned with the wellness of others. Sometimes, getting through something difficult can be eased simply by knowing one isn't alone. Suffering is universal, so anything anyone can do to ease that, is the height of human courage and empathy. And, this movie is amazing (and touches on the above topic...). Top tier MCU.
It's so odd that we're more connected than ever because of the Internet, but more disconnected and separated. It's easy to feel alone. Moving out can make you feel alone too, so I'm glad you have this community to share your time with.
you're always loved. you got your community to back you up. please know we support you and we're all human with these emotions
To explain Thanos and his 'power': On his home planet, there are two races that exist in conflict with each other, Deviants and Eternals (another movie that youll see later). Thanos is a mutant between the two. He has superhuman strength and genius intelligence. Like Cap and Hulk, he has given himself a supersoldier serum that enhances his already crazy strong genetics. Like Tony Stark, he gives himself enhancements through his tech. Like Thor and Strange, he also uses dark magic. He is basically an amalgam of every Avenger and is meant to be a foil to all of their abilities and powers. It takes a team to stand a chance against him, and he is one of the strongest beings in all of Marvel comics, even without any weapons or Infinity Stones.
Aw stef honey it doesnt take a genius to see that your quite obviously a wonderful, kind person yourself! Your reactions really brighten up my day! I hope whatever you are going through it works out. In sure it will love from Australia.
That trippy out of body experience scene is one of the coolest scenes in an MCU movie. Hopefully you can rewatch it on a very nice TV someday soon. Also that Dormamu I've come to bargain scene is another stunning on a high end TV.
I love your reactions, they always feel so genuine and it feels good to see you react like we all do. You seem so kind in your heart and seeing that cheers me up even when I’m unable to, Thank you!
protect stef at all costs
you’ve seen 5/6 stones so far. space (the cube) , mind (vision’s forehead) , reality (thor dark world) , power (the orb in guardians) & now time
Great reaction Stef! You’ll remember that at the end of the second Thor movie he spoke to his father at the end and it turned out that it was Loki who had replaced Odin. So we don’t know yet where Odin is, only that Loki was impersonating him in Asgard.
If anyone is curious, check out a movie called Doctor Mordrid. Long story short it was supposed to be a Doctor Strange movie, but they lost the rights during production and basically said screw it let’s just change the names and keep making it. It’s a pretty neat movie!
There is a green light on your microphone. When your hand gets close, it picks up the green color, which makes it look like you are wielding the time stone
OH YAY. 😆 And sorry all the comments I leave. This channel is just... its helping me. A Lot. Ill put it that way. Finally, Stef and Dr Strange. Fun. ^___^ This guy is one of my favs. Next to Iron Man and Thor.
Stay strong Stef, you're not alone.
On a lighter note, Rachels reaction to the mop handle hitting the floor was 100% authentic, it just happened. The timing couldn't have been better and her actual jump scare was so priceless, it had to make the final cut. It must have been a directors wet dream, to know that, having not called 'cut' yet, meant he had that moment on film.
Love ya Stef. Same back to you. Youre not alone. :)
I’m 100% aloan in life.. just move forward don’t think of the past because it will drag you down set a goal and work towards it. You’ll make it through. Yeah being alone is a fact of life u have to work on friendships and relationships if you want one it doesn’t come easy. me personally, I think being alone is awesome. Having people to talk to is awesome to, but for me, I like being alone less to worry about.
One of the coolest opening scenes of ANY of the MCU movies.
Ánimo Stef!
No estás sola
Saludos desde Galicia España
Great reaction and I’m praying things start to get better for you
You are not alone either Stef, there are loads on here who are your family now. We all love you
The Wong laugh is one of the most meta jokes in the MCU.
Earlier Strange quips "people used to laugh at my jokes" to which Wong replies "DID THEY USED TO WORK FOR YOU ?" At the end of the battle Strange makes a joke and Wong laughs. Why ? Because he works for him now !
I hope you're doing better Stef. Dont let the haters get to you. Keep doing what you're doing!
I'm sorry that you're going through things. I can relate. Let me just say watching your reactions and listening to your intelligent analysis has helped me get through some of my bad days. So I am appreciative.
Hope your doing okay. Thanks for the content and thanks for always being so uplifting, i hope you know people love you and that your video's bring joy to lots of people including me😁
Stef I love your reactions, I hope whatever it is that you're going through that you're okay ♥️♥️♥️ I'll definitely be praying for you
I barely listen to intros but yours really touched my soul cause people really be out of touch with actual reality and humanity. Thank you for taking time to address that for real!! Whatever you're going through we'll be here as a collective to support you. ♥
Man I remember loving this movie so much when it came out, Doctor Strange became one of my favorites in the MCU and I loved every time he popped up in the few comics I have read. I really enjoy the path that Strange takes through the movie and his growth followed in subsecuent movies. Also kinda hits harder now because I treasure and use my hands so much that I wouldn't imagine something even close to that happening to me. I haven't watched it in years and this was a nice way to re-experience it.
We love you Stef. Hugs from Atlanta. I used to live and work in Seattle. There are many beautiful natural areas outside the city proper that are worth visiting.
The intro, what a sweetheart. That actually helps a little. We appreciate you, Stef..
Hi Stef:
1. Liked your kickoff msg, 💕, never alone.
2. It's a cloak, Stef, the Cloak of Levitation. It's a relic so it chooses you.
3. Yes, there is a Dr S 2 (Phase 4). Mordo is essentially a bad guy now, yes.
4. That's the fifth infinity stone, Stef.
5. Thanos will hear, yes.
6. You summed up the different worlds in the MCU pretty well.
7. Next time stone appearance is Infinity War.
8. Next Thor movie is where you'll see Odin.
9. GOG 2 is next, Stef. See ya, Peace ✌
What a great message in the intro I had to rewind a couple times because I'm going through a lot also and the reactor community is exactly what helps me not feel alone
Stef, I loved this reaction and how fun you make it. Remember that whatever you happen to be going through, with good friends in your corner anything is possible....
Dr strange is so fun & trippy love how weird it gets
This is amazing love the video stef stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
Loved to hear your kind words at the beginning. I'm been single since 09 and lonely. It hurts to hear people that are in pain. Brought tears to my eyes. I always thought it was like a curse or something to be alone or feel alone. However recently I discovered for myself that I'm actually blessed for it. Never fit in with any crowd. I am pretty much the opposite of the norm of society. Never thought that I would be thankful for it. Just hang in there, sometimes that's all we can do. I could on about this for days so I guess I'll end it there.
It breaks my heart seeing you sad. I hope everything gets better. 😢
Stef, you are a ray of sunshine to us all, never forget that, we love you
Feel better Stef! I lost the last of my family 6 years ago when my brother died and have felt rootless ever since. I enjoy your reactions!
The 35 year old Air force Colonel they asked strange about before his accident, was actually War Machine ( Rhodes), when he got hurt in Civil War.
It's not, Rhodes is 48 in Civil War
Hello Stef!😊 It looks like you did your hair again. It looks nice!💇🏻♀😉 Great reactions to your very first Doctor Strange film, Stef!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope whatever you are going through gets better, Stef. Just stay strong. We all love you!😘 There is a sequel: "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" (2022). You really need to watch the "WandaVision" (2021) miniseries before you watch that one. There are only 9 episodes.😉
