It's not rodey who Dr strange was offered to operate on. It's the guy in the hammer suit during the court scene. Doctor strange was learning for years, starting before the avengers assembled. Don't let me catch you making that mistake again when we're watching "my parents react to Doctor strange" 😉😉
This is not a dig, but I believe the reason you love Doctor Strange so much is... You are a "Cap" Guy (absolutely nothing wrong with that, Cap this Chris Evans version of Cap is my Cap. I did not care for the comic book version... too speechy and he was always reigning in Wolverine... hahaha, Chris Evans version of the Cap, makes it my fault for not getting it Doctor Strange is your version of how people feel about Tony Stark.... he has that edge, Doctor Strange is just as arrogant, but he got everything taking from him, while Tony tends to just throw stuff away. You love this movie for the exact same reason, that people love Tony Stark. that is what is so beautiful about this experience (as opposed to the DCEU or sorry to say this "Matt is right" Star Wars), it is all connected... you don't have to explain why you saw this 4 times, all you have to say to an Iron Man stan is... "how you feel about Tony, is how I felt about Strange in this film". They will get it. It is also why so many Tony Stark fans, love Black Panther so much... because T'Challa is just as noble as Cap, but with cynicism and a more grounded realistic view. Slight Spoiler as in context towards possible clever add ons: I am calling him Cap, because this is earlier in my timeline and I do not wish to engage a spoiler train of people being clever...
he really isn't, he's one of the most popular marvel heroes in the comics and post-infinity war he's popular in the movies too. but this movie specifically is definitely underrated
Yrah but that's not enough. Every MCU movie gets recommended, then some get nominated for VFX. Basically if they have 3 films a year, 1 is being nominated for certain. It's about actually WINNING those noms. I still don't get how 1917 won over Endgame. Bullshit tbh.
@Rohan Alias just shows how biased the academy is towards superhero films. That was Endgames award to win. And I think the year prior First Man won over Infinity War 😑 Like...space movies are 70% darkness and 25% Earth with 5% of creativity and nuance.
@@Antwannnn space movies are usually built to flex visual effects.the only 3 space movies that has any sort of substance within them is interstellar ,martian and 2001
One of the reasons I love this film so much is because of Doctor Strange's arc of learning that failure is okay. The Ancient One told him that while his fear of failure made him such a good doctor, it's also what kept him from fully reaching his potential. Stephen throughout the film is obsessed with his own failings, not being able to imagine adjusting to a life brought on by his own mistakes, and instead relentlessly trying to take back his old life. In his opening scene when he invites Christine to his speaking engagement, she says "Everything's about you". Throughout his life, Stephen has been surrounded by people that have done nothing but remind him how important he is with everything centred around him, and it's not until the Ancient One tells Stephen "It's not about you" that the camera spins around Stephen to show that he has found a new perspective. To overcome his fear of failure, it's so perfect that he has to defeat Dormammu by losing to him countless times. In the final scene he puts his watch back on, still broken representing his broken self, and while he could get his watch fixed he instead keeps it broken to remind himself to live with his past mistakes and grow from them instead of trying to undo them. Sorry if I rattled on a bit here. This film just really spoke to me and I think it's one of the more underrated MCU films.

@@ioahII I think it's great that some people do like it. I just *hate* it lol. But it shows that different people have different tastes, and MCU is varied enough to entertain people other than just me :)
That moment is my favorite scene in a movie FULL of great scenes. It perfectly encapsulates how he learns that he needs to put the universe before himself in order to be the hero he has it in him to be.
One thing to remember that isn't very obvious about this film: we only see Doctor Strange die a few times, HOWEVER, he actually spends hundreds of thousands of "years" battling and being killed by Dormammu, dying hundreds of thousands of times. This gives Doctor Strange the opportunity to practice his magic a lot, so he is actually incredibly skilled now.
@@eliascrooker7773 It might be, but it's still just Strange jumping towards Dormammu then getting killed. I don't imagine he had time for trying much else, but I guess it's not impossible. 😁
@Emerald Sedai he was making things to protect/defend himself so he would have had time especially the moments where he was speaking more with Dormmamu.
@@mightywizard7475 even though you can watch a video about an actual surgeon reacting to the scene and saying it was depicted fairly well lol. Matt can be annoying to me at times with somewhat baseless opinions but I can't be mad about him being honest about how he feels.
This is probably one of the greatest reaction Series I have seen on UA-cam. Its amazing to see a new fan of MCU fall in love with what we all love. She is SO amazing when giving reviews. She is extremely observant of the movies and does them a lot of justice when she reviews them. You guys are a matchmade in heaven. I BINGED the WHOLE MCU series today. I CAN"T WAIT FOR MORE!!!
Fun Fact: the character mentioned in the experimental armor wasn't actually Rody. Since the car crash takes place significantly before the end of the movie which is caught up with timeline, it's widely thought that it is the man in the experimental Justin Hammer armor in Iron Man 2
Correct, that is a reference to Ironman 2, specifically the test pilot injured in the Hammer Industries video clip Tony displays during the Congressional hearing scene.
"I've got a 35 year old.... broke his spine in some experimental..." and you said "Rhodie". Nope. This is further back in the timeline, that was around Iron Man 2, where Hammer Industries tried to make an Iron Man suit and the top half turned 180°, but his legs didn't turn with him. "The rest of the world... 10yrs. Hammer Industries 20." -Tony Stark
While you’re right that isn’t Rhodey this isn’t around Ironman 2. The ancient one says Steven is performing surgery in 2012 and that Banner is five years too early. So this is in 2017.
@@gavinallerton3414 that's not accurate about it being 2017, you're forgetting about the time jump from the accident to him finding the ancient one. We also don't know how long Strange was training in the mystic arts before
That is rhodie. This movie was after civil war in release and the timeline. That dude in Ironman 2 with the hammer suit died. You can’t live being twisted all the way around like that
She was referring to Doctor Strange's other name "Sorcerer Supreme". Give her some points man for trying. You should have known better my guy! lol! Great video man! You guys are awesome!
As always this is really fun to watch, I wonder how many times Holden said "I can't tell you" to Jen? Her reactions put a smile on us and that is all what we need!
You forget, the real hero of this movie is the Cape Of Levitation. Dr Strange was just his sidekick. Without the cape, Dr Strange wouldn't be alive by the end of the movie. 🤣🤣🤣
A part of me kind of wishes they didn’t spoil Doctor Strange being in Thor Ragnarok as his role in Ragnarok was much smaller than I expected and I think it would’ve been a cooler surprise for that movie
I feel like they quickly realised that w Benedict Cumberbatch being so popular at the time, it would have been impossible to keep his involvement in the movie a secret and so rather than have someone else leak it, they just capitalised on it.

I really love watching the MCU again through Jen’s eyes and it looks like it can only bring you two closer together through this process. Keep them coming!
@@aalarsvolt4419 exactly.this movie had great acting , a good script, fantastic visuals,some good character development Yes this is the iron man story tweaked to a different version but it works
this is one of my very favorites in the mcu, glad to see the doctor strange appreciation in this video. the anticipation is building for the upcoming films!! great video as always, best way to start the day!! :)
"Wouldn't that suck? Being killed by a cape?" I immediately thought of Spawn when she said that because I'm pretty sure he's killed a few people with his cape
Yeah, this cloak of levitation always reminds me of Lyddia. Too bad when the Spawn movie came out the computer graphics couldn't support her except for minor scenes (usually while he was falling)
Highly recommended reading Jason Aaron's run writing Doctor Strange, the whole "paying the bill" is a huge part of his run with the character & it is extremely funny & really dark at the same time
When this movie first came out, I actually rated it really low. I honestly didn't like it. I thought it was cheesy, over the top and kind of pretentious. But after watching it a few more times, I started to really like it, and now it's easily in my top 5 favourite MCU movies.
@@ellebaby825 A few of the Marvel movies were on Netflix at the time, and there were a few on there that I hadn't liked (Ant-Man being another) that I decided to give another try. I love(d) the MCU a lot and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there was something I was missing that made other people like them. So I gave them a try and found that there were things about it during my initial viewing that I didn't like that weren't so bad the second time through.
My favorite part of this movie is how unique the ending was. So many of the MCU movies have the same generic boss fight at the end but this one was clever!
Might be wrong about this, but when his colleague on the phone tells him about an airforce colonel who crushed his lower spine in experimental armour, I think they're referring to the video from the Hammer industries in IronMan2 that Tony plays to embarrass Justin Hammer in the court scene.
The anticipation for the big two movies is killing me 😆 I just can’t wait to see how she takes it all in and I like how your telling her how long we had to wait between each movie cuz man…
Glad that Jen liked this movie. I love this movie, in my top 10! Benedict Cumberbatch was perfectly cast as Strange! I also loved Wong in this movie too! Can’t wait for the sequel, and wait at 6:04 did Jen say that she saw Constantine? I was gonna recommend it, I also recommend the short lived Constantine show!
My favorite part of the final battle is it ends up being an unbelievable training session for strange just battling over and over and leveling up so much
Fun fact: the scene where Dr. Strange loops time with Dormamu, while it seemed to have never happened for the MCU’s Earth and was only a couple of minutes for us, took place for over 1000 years in Dormamu and Dr. Strange’s minds which is why Dr. Strange is so good at the end, because he had 1000 years to work on his magic. For someone who started out so arrogant this is the most selfless act ever
Holden, your thoughts on the movie where almost mine exactly! I feel it was very underrated. Such a visually stunning film. Plus, the dry humor in it is perfect. I didn't think my 8 and 10 year old kids would like it, but they actually loved it and can't wait for the next one.
I had 0 expectations for this movie, i had read the comics but wasn’t really a fan, I’ve now watched Doctor Strange 19 times and it’s my favourite MCU movie somehow.
We're getting closer and closer to Infinity War!!!! Im super excited! Im glad that Jen really enjoyed this one. Its definitely one of my favorite mcu movies. The visuals, the music, just soo good!

Great video as always Holden. Only the pilot who crushed his spine they were talking about wasn’t Rhodes since the beginning of the movie was before Civil War. They were most likely talking about the pilot who was testing the Hammer Drone in Iron Man 2
Dr.Strange is one of my favorite Marvel movies. I know a lot of "Marvel"fans don't rank it very high. But I love it. Looking forward to seeing the new movie next year.
This was a great movie, i thought it was very well done. I was very wrong that Jen was going to dislike the ending. Seeing her insight into this movie was interestingly fun, how she broke it down was so good.
Rewatching all the reaction videos makes so many things so much clearer. In the mcu you really need to pay attention to every single detail they talk about
You should make her react to the trailers during the week until you watch the next movie, it would be awesome to see her theories about the trailer too.
did you notice just before Dr. Strange had his car accident they sent him files on a Air Force Colonel that had spinal injuries stemming from an "experimental armor". That was James Rhodes aka: War Machine and his injuries were from vision knocking him out of the sky. Love the way they continue to tie the MCU together
@@nuriamateos6209 because the movie ends caught up to the timeline, yet Stephen spending so much time training in Karmatash means the accident happens WAY before Civil War.
@@dracoargentum9783 Can’t be the Hammer Pilot either. Strange’s watch and his award both have the year 2016 on it before the crash occurs. Additionally, Avengers Tower can be seen in the skyline. Unless that guy is finally getting surgery after 6+ years, it’s not the hammer pilot.
2:37 so fun fact, that's not referring to Rhodey, it refers to the test pilot in Iron Man 2 that Justin Hammer injured trying to recreate the Iron Man armor. This movie takes place over at least a couple years. This movie is not great about conveying the passage of time.
The timeline doesn't match up for it to be the test pilot either. Imo it was intended to be Rhodes since this came out after Civil War but the timeline doesn't quite match up. I dont think there's any confirmation though on who it actually is
The “experimental armor” dude, is not actually Rhodey, the beginning of Doctor strange takes place before civil war. For some reason it’s a common misconception, but I just want to make sure the correct information is out there.
Just wanted to tell you that the book missing from Ancient one's collection is nothing else but Darkhold from Wandavision. Agatha stole that from there and now Wanda is the owner of the book.
@@Wlof25 no one considers Agents of Shield as a part of marvel.. So there nothing to discuss about. Even Disney+ removed Agents of Shield from the platform I guess
@@Wlof25 the show tried to fit itself into the mcu but it was really only a one way street. The darkhold in wanda vision puts a nail in whether or not its canon (its not). Its unfortunate but the tv side of things were run by different people then.
@@Wlof25 nope thats wrong. D+ shows are very much canon and will tie into movies. Fiege is heading everything now. Not the case with AoS and the Netflix shows.
@@Simbaforlife Did he really? That's a shame. We'd have missed out on the joke where Strange kept thinking that stereotypical guy was it. If they'd gone that way, people would have complained about racist stereotyping. I wish Feige had some balls.

I still can't get over Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 being rated so high lol
You put ant man twice
IronMan 3 is one the best marvel movies imo
@@ioahII I think it's great that some people do like it. I just *hate* it lol. But it shows that different people have different tastes, and MCU is varied enough to entertain people other than just me :)
"It's not about you", great way to sum up his arc. This movie is an underrated gem
That moment is my favorite scene in a movie FULL of great scenes. It perfectly encapsulates how he learns that he needs to put the universe before himself in order to be the hero he has it in him to be.
nothing better than sitting down with a cup of hot chocolate, and watching a new holden hardman video
BIG FACTS
lmao same
The best part of waking up, is Holden in your cup.
Couln't agree more
Totally agree
“Everyone has their bad days” - I’m rolling 😂 😂
Wants you have a girlfriend your bad days are not real only there i mean look how she got so mad :)
One thing to remember that isn't very obvious about this film: we only see Doctor Strange die a few times, HOWEVER, he actually spends hundreds of thousands of "years" battling and being killed by Dormammu, dying hundreds of thousands of times. This gives Doctor Strange the opportunity to practice his magic a lot, so he is actually incredibly skilled now.
Like so Jen sees this (I assume Holden already knows).
Not if he only repeated that brief loop, he didn't. And they make it pretty clear that it was only that brief loop.
@@Rennies-World if you add up all the time spent in the loop it was years.
@@eliascrooker7773 It might be, but it's still just Strange jumping towards Dormammu then getting killed. I don't imagine he had time for trying much else, but I guess it's not impossible. 😁
@Emerald Sedai he was making things to protect/defend himself so he would have had time especially the moments where he was speaking more with Dormmamu.
Alternative title: Holden fanboying over the visual effects of Doctor Strange for 20 minutes
Its not SFX. Its Visual Effects. Special Effects is a completely different career.
That's probably fair, lol
@@nutmas7185 I literally knew that because I did a class on sfx for my degree haha. Maybe I should stop watching yt at 1 am 😂
@@nutmas7185 what's the difference?
@@wowzeree6789 Special Effects is practical effects. Pyrotechnics, squibs, rubber models, etc. Visual is completely computer generated
She's definetely going way nicer on it than Matt. That one still hurts
It's just cause Matt's a medical nerd and the medical scenes weren't to his liking.
Yeah, that was crushing. 😭
@@mightywizard7475 even though you can watch a video about an actual surgeon reacting to the scene and saying it was depicted fairly well lol. Matt can be annoying to me at times with somewhat baseless opinions but I can't be mad about him being honest about how he feels.
Can’t wait for Jen to get to Infinity War
this is like waiting for my favourite tv show every week
This is probably one of the greatest reaction Series I have seen on UA-cam. Its amazing to see a new fan of MCU fall in love with what we all love. She is SO amazing when giving reviews. She is extremely observant of the movies and does them a lot of justice when she reviews them. You guys are a matchmade in heaven. I BINGED the WHOLE MCU series today. I CAN"T WAIT FOR MORE!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@jenniferhardman Oh my god guys She reads comments!!
I wonder what she'd think of the DCEU movies...
I love the face Jen makes whenever something ‘Juicy’ happens😂
Fun Fact: the character mentioned in the experimental armor wasn't actually Rody. Since the car crash takes place significantly before the end of the movie which is caught up with timeline, it's widely thought that it is the man in the experimental Justin Hammer armor in Iron Man 2
oof, that guy might break Strange's record for sure lol
Or Diamondback.
@@Foxtrot5 Only ever heard of em a couple times,who's Diamondback?
@@ragnar0432 Luke Cage villain. He had HammerTech armor.
Why is it fun?
That wasn't a Rhodey reference, he's 48 not 35
it was the Hammer pilot from Iron Man 2
Agreed, Doctor Strange can’t also start this late if Civil War is only now.
Correct, that is a reference to Ironman 2, specifically the test pilot injured in the Hammer Industries video clip Tony displays during the Congressional hearing scene.
The actor Don Cheadle is 48. Rhodey, the character is 35.
@@39Hundred No, it’s canon that Rhodey was 48 at the time
"I've got a 35 year old.... broke his spine in some experimental..." and you said "Rhodie". Nope. This is further back in the timeline, that was around Iron Man 2, where Hammer Industries tried to make an Iron Man suit and the top half turned 180°, but his legs didn't turn with him.
"The rest of the world... 10yrs. Hammer Industries 20." -Tony Stark
"I would like to point out that test pilot survived" he wasn't lying
While you’re right that isn’t Rhodey this isn’t around Ironman 2. The ancient one says Steven is performing surgery in 2012 and that Banner is five years too early. So this is in 2017.
@@gavinallerton3414 that's not accurate about it being 2017, you're forgetting about the time jump from the accident to him finding the ancient one. We also don't know how long Strange was training in the mystic arts before
That is rhodie. This movie was after civil war in release and the timeline. That dude in Ironman 2 with the hammer suit died. You can’t live being twisted all the way around like that
@@tmac731 there's a time skip in the movie
holden:
"this movie introduced magic to the mcu"
loki:
am i a joke to you!?
And Frigga :(
we're not going to see his proper magic until loki starts though it seems, he used a blast in the trailer that was very comic book-y
@@KnowYourMarvelNews yup shes was trained by asgardian witches and she trained loki (hes also a god aka the god of mischief)
Up to this point, Thor claimed that magic and science were the same thing.
their was magic in Agents Of Shield before this film came out too and that was proper magic, Ghost Rider and The Darkhold
The trick to handling a long wait lies in having no choice otherwise.
Jen: Will we see Mordo again?
Holden: We'll see I can't tell you that
Also Holden: Just wait until you see Strange and Iron Man have to interact
She was referring to Doctor Strange's other name "Sorcerer Supreme". Give her some points man for trying. You should have known better my guy! lol! Great video man! You guys are awesome!
He hasn't become the sorcerer supreme yet
@@tristancornelis1416 he hadn’t paid the bill that cones due. Also, Master of the Mystic Arts...
4:15 Holden will never let that down. Great reaction, guys.
Love the cape. It's like Aladdin's flying carpet had a sassier, more affluent cousin.
As always this is really fun to watch, I wonder how many times Holden said "I can't tell you" to Jen?
Her reactions put a smile on us and that is all what we need!
You forget, the real hero of this movie is the Cape Of Levitation. Dr Strange was just his sidekick. Without the cape, Dr Strange wouldn't be alive by the end of the movie.
🤣🤣🤣
A part of me kind of wishes they didn’t spoil Doctor Strange being in Thor Ragnarok as his role in Ragnarok was much smaller than I expected and I think it would’ve been a cooler surprise for that movie
I feel like they quickly realised that w Benedict Cumberbatch being so popular at the time, it would have been impossible to keep his involvement in the movie a secret and so rather than have someone else leak it, they just capitalised on it.
I actually forgot about it by the time Ragnarok came out 😅
2:34 Just to help out Holden, that's not rhodey because at the time that he's driving, civil war happens 4 months later
it was the test pilot in the Hammer armour in Iron Man 2.
Yep
@@Madpup1uk Ironman 2 takes place in 2010 while Doctor Strange takes place in 2016

@@BrownGenius they doing release order not chronological order and if they did theyd have to watch spiderman ffh last cus thats after wandavision and fatws
I like that the ending happened because Strange just out smarted Dormamu instead of out fought him.
I loved that, too! He didn't just go in and defeat the villain using force. He outsmarted Dormammu and he upheld his oath.
I really love watching the MCU again through Jen’s eyes and it looks like it can only bring you two closer together through this process. Keep them coming!
This movie just reminds us why 'the formula' exists. *IT WORKS* !
The formula allows the filler movies to be rewatchable and entertaining
I think It's not bad to have a formula, as long as it has it's original touch and unique characters.
@@aalarsvolt4419 exactly.this movie had great acting , a good script, fantastic visuals,some good character development
Yes this is the iron man story tweaked to a different version but it works
this is one of my very favorites in the mcu, glad to see the doctor strange appreciation in this video. the anticipation is building for the upcoming films!! great video as always, best way to start the day!! :)
"Wouldn't that suck? Being killed by a cape?"
I immediately thought of Spawn when she said that because I'm pretty sure he's killed a few people with his cape
Yeah, this cloak of levitation always reminds me of Lyddia. Too bad when the Spawn movie came out the computer graphics couldn't support her except for minor scenes (usually while he was falling)
Highly recommended reading Jason Aaron's run writing Doctor Strange, the whole "paying the bill" is a huge part of his run with the character & it is extremely funny & really dark at the same time
The most underrated mcu film ever.
That would be Ironman 3 I think
@@Gnossiene369 who are you talking to?
@@wardjunior1450 you
@@Dominx21 wasn’t asking you
@@wardjunior1450 yeah but I answered for the other dude cuz it was obvious
Holden reaffirms he has good taste. And now I can't wait for Jen to see Doctor Strange in Infinity War where he really shines..
I’d love to see a series where Holden watches movies that Jen is into.
Dang you don't know how much it brightness my day when I see vids from you man
Have been waiting all day!!! Finally!!!
When this movie first came out, I actually rated it really low. I honestly didn't like it. I thought it was cheesy, over the top and kind of pretentious. But after watching it a few more times, I started to really like it, and now it's easily in my top 5 favourite MCU movies.
What made you go back and watch it again if you initially didn't like it?
@@ellebaby825 A few of the Marvel movies were on Netflix at the time, and there were a few on there that I hadn't liked (Ant-Man being another) that I decided to give another try.
I love(d) the MCU a lot and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there was something I was missing that made other people like them.
So I gave them a try and found that there were things about it during my initial viewing that I didn't like that weren't so bad the second time through.
My favorite part of this movie is how unique the ending was. So many of the MCU movies have the same generic boss fight at the end but this one was clever!
"IM fiiiiiiiine, I don't know why it's coming out all loud and sqeaky cause really I'm FINE."
She is so close to Infinity War! Can't wait! Well done guys.
Was looking forward to this reaction! It was honestly one of my favorites
Might be wrong about this, but when his colleague on the phone tells him about an airforce colonel who crushed his lower spine in experimental armour, I think they're referring to the video from the Hammer industries in IronMan2 that Tony plays to embarrass Justin Hammer in the court scene.
and war machine is hardly experimental
It's not the guy from Hammer Industries either
It's no one. None of the cases are a reference to anyone.
The anticipation for the big two movies is killing me 😆 I just can’t wait to see how she takes it all in and I like how your telling her how long we had to wait between each movie cuz man…
Glad that Jen liked this movie. I love this movie, in my top 10! Benedict Cumberbatch was perfectly cast as Strange! I also loved Wong in this movie too! Can’t wait for the sequel, and wait at 6:04 did Jen say that she saw Constantine? I was gonna recommend it, I also recommend the short lived Constantine show!
Wonderfully acted, great effects, solid script, world building, proper funny yet a tear jerker. It's the definition underrated.
All I can hear is Ross saying "I'm fine!".
My favorite part of the final battle is it ends up being an unbelievable training session for strange just battling over and over and leveling up so much
It wasnt Rhodey it was the Test pilot for Justin Hammer's attempt at the Iron Man Suit
No ?
Could be either. I don't think any of it is really confirmed
@@gammawolf3 The car scene in Dr. Strange plays several months earlier than Civil War, so it literally can't be Rhodey.
@@SirQuadrat Cant be the test pilot either.
Fun fact: the scene where Dr. Strange loops time with Dormamu, while it seemed to have never happened for the MCU’s Earth and was only a couple of minutes for us, took place for over 1000 years in Dormamu and Dr. Strange’s minds which is why Dr. Strange is so good at the end, because he had 1000 years to work on his magic. For someone who started out so arrogant this is the most selfless act ever
If Rick Sanchez joined the Avengers:
“I’ve always felt that what you guys do in a year can be done in a couple of hours.”
JEN....Your shirt selection lately has been absolutely GOLD!!!
I haven't seen doctor strange since I saw it in theaters so this should be interesting
It’s way better now knowing the information we have today.
Holden, your thoughts on the movie where almost mine exactly! I feel it was very underrated. Such a visually stunning film. Plus, the dry humor in it is perfect. I didn't think my 8 and 10 year old kids would like it, but they actually loved it and can't wait for the next one.
I had 0 expectations for this movie, i had read the comics but wasn’t really a fan, I’ve now watched Doctor Strange 19 times and it’s my favourite MCU movie somehow.
We're getting closer and closer to Infinity War!!!! Im super excited!
Im glad that Jen really enjoyed this one. Its definitely one of my favorite mcu movies. The visuals, the music, just soo good!
Actually the experimental armor that someone broke there back in is one of Justin hammers men from iron man 2
Nope, the experimental armor line, was just a throw away line, not a reference to anything.
FINALLY! a completely blind video. No explanation b4 hand. No opinions b4 hand. Love it!
Pls continue like this!
Hey Holden, first time caller, long time listener. Do you think you and Jen could watch Harry Potter after the MCU?

Omggg I love to watch your reaction videos I don't care what I see but when see your videos it doesn't take a millisecond to click the video
Tilda Swinton needs to be in more things.
Great video as always Holden. Only the pilot who crushed his spine they were talking about wasn’t Rhodes since the beginning of the movie was before Civil War. They were most likely talking about the pilot who was testing the Hammer Drone in Iron Man 2
not only does Dr. Strange introduce magic, but it doesn't get enough credit for buttering general audiences to the multiverse
7:10
Literally the most amazing, jaw dropping, mind bending visual effects I've ever seen
Jen: 😐🥱😐
Dr.Strange is one of my favorite Marvel movies. I know a lot of "Marvel"fans don't rank it very high. But I love it. Looking forward to seeing the new movie next year.
I'm a Marvel fan, and it's probably my favorite of the movies.
This was a great movie, i thought it was very well done. I was very wrong that Jen was going to dislike the ending.
Seeing her insight into this movie was interestingly fun, how she broke it down was so good.
Rewatching all the reaction videos makes so many things so much clearer. In the mcu you really need to pay attention to every single detail they talk about
You should make her react to the trailers during the week until you watch the next movie, it would be awesome to see her theories about the trailer too.
I fw the way you edit these videos, you always hit all the most important parts💯
Appreciation for this movie vastly improved after seeing Infinity War.
Yes.
did you notice just before Dr. Strange had his car accident they sent him files on a Air Force Colonel that had spinal injuries stemming from an "experimental armor". That was James Rhodes aka: War Machine and his injuries were from vision knocking him out of the sky. Love the way they continue to tie the MCU together
2:36 Yeah, we all thought he was Rhodey. But now we know that the time of Dr. Strange's accident was years before Civil War sooooo that was not him :P
The experimental armor of Hammer in Iron Man 2.
Wait, I didn't know that. When is the accident and how do we know it?
@@nuriamateos6209 because the movie ends caught up to the timeline, yet Stephen spending so much time training in Karmatash means the accident happens WAY before Civil War.
@@dracoargentum9783 Can’t be the Hammer Pilot either. Strange’s watch and his award both have the year 2016 on it before the crash occurs. Additionally, Avengers Tower can be seen in the skyline. Unless that guy is finally getting surgery after 6+ years, it’s not the hammer pilot.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YESSSS
2:37 so fun fact, that's not referring to Rhodey, it refers to the test pilot in Iron Man 2 that Justin Hammer injured trying to recreate the Iron Man armor. This movie takes place over at least a couple years. This movie is not great about conveying the passage of time.
The timeline doesn't match up for it to be the test pilot either. Imo it was intended to be Rhodes since this came out after Civil War but the timeline doesn't quite match up. I dont think there's any confirmation though on who it actually is
I always like the 2, 3 second outro after the credits. Nice salute Holden.
The “experimental armor” dude, is not actually Rhodey, the beginning of Doctor strange takes place before civil war. For some reason it’s a common misconception, but I just want to make sure the correct information is out there.
"He just had a bad day, everybody has a".... "Shut the ..."
Great call back Holden 😂🤣
If she loves Tony she probably will love Strange aswell
Makes my day everytime I see one of these videos in my feed.
