This universe is only one of an infinite number mr strange
Welcome back everyone this is going to be my new doctor strange multiverse of madness video marvel
just released a new trailer with a bunch of new footage of all their big fight scenes and during
it they actually featured some really cool scenes of doctor strange actually encountering the real
vashanti another group of powerful gods that we haven't seen in the mcu before but that are really
a big deal in the comics this is obviously connected to everything that's happening on
moon knight and thor love and thunder with all the gods of the mcu so we'll break it all down
because the movie's coming out next week we're doing an imax ticket giveaway all you have to
do to enter is be a subscriber and post all your theories about doctor strange in the comments and
i will be doing full videos easter eggs for the entire movie as soon as it does come out there's
a couple new scenes in this trailer but i'll talk mostly about the big stuff doctor strange
actually meeting the gods as a character doctor strange is mostly concerned with the mystical
matters magical matters so he encounters many different types of gods all across the multiverse
but the ones that he's most closely connected to in the comics are the vashanti and when we're
talking about gods in the mcu for instance like we talk about moon knight we talk about thor love and
thunder we're typically talking about the lesser gods the one above all is meant to be the one true
god like capital g god of the entire multiverse he's so powerful we will probably never see him
but usually when you're talking about all these lesser gods they're supposed to be a different
version in every single universe for some of the really powerful cosmic beings and some of
the gods though there's like one version for the entire multiverse this trailer kind of makes it
seem like there's going to be one version of the vashanti for the entire multiverse
but for instance there's many different versions of thor that's how you have the thor
core in secret war so it's not the same for every single type of god not me what just listening
in the scene where dr strange and america chavez are falling through this sort of
liminal space through different universes is after they've gone on the run from mcu scarlet witch
america chavez has started punching holes through different universes so they can escape
and it's after they tried to use the book of the vishanti in this special room here that
they feature in pretty much every single trailer we've seen because of the screen x expanded format
trailer where there's a bunch of extra footage on the right and left sides we got a much better idea
of where dr strange has actually been keeping the book of the vashanti locked up or where the other
sorcerer supremes before him had kept it notice when they opened the metal door to this place it's
in all the trailers they're in a basement but when you see the expanded version of the scene
in the screen x trailer on the right and the left you can see that it's in the same basement of the
sanctum sanctorum that we saw during spiderman no way home that cluttered old basement with
the washing machines and just all the extra junk that they keep around even the extra beard dye
kit that dr strange had kept around gotta keep that magical goatee all trimmed up a torture rack
that is a pilates machine even though they said that they used that basement in the movie like
it's meant to be this common regular old basement that anybody would have it's actually connected to
the undercroft that part of the ancient temple that the sanctum was built on top of the temple
was built there at the intersection of a bunch of really powerful magical ley lines that exist
through the earth that akamoto himself would have used back in ancient times some of these walls are
thousands of years old and they shot an episode of the equalizer here in the 80s there's magical
doors and portals to all kinds of different places inside the sanctum so this isn't really
a surprise like of course they would have a bunch of magical doors to really crazy places we haven't
seen before but the vashanti are a huge deep cut from the comics they're the gods who grant
dr strange all the magic that he uses to power his spells in the comics the relationship between him
in the vishanti isn't quite the same as the relationship between moon knight and khonshu
but the vishanti just like the other gods can have regular avatars and do in the comics but usually
they're other people it's not doctor strange in the first doctor strange movie the ancient one
kind of brushed over a lot of this in the vashanti just in general during her tutorial just saying
that they take their energy from other universes and other dimensions to power their spells but
it's a little more complicated than that like even scarlet witch who uses chaos magic got it from
somewhere it just didn't come out of nowhere like there is a god of chaos inside the multiverse that
sort of granted her power when she was born in the comics that's cathone he's one of the elder gods
he also wrote the darkhold it sounds like it's going to be a little bit different in the mcu but
it's the same basic principle but the vashanti are a trio of gods who are either old gods or somehow
tied to them in some way or biological children of old gods the old gods were created by the
sentience of the actual planet when it first came into being like the planet itself has this soul so
to speak it gave birth to a bunch of old gods when it was created millions and millions of years ago
the way they talk about khonshu and his pantheon of the ennead technically they're meant to be
different in the comics but they talk about them like they are part of the old gods so to speak
in a more broader sense but the actual old gods are specific group in the comics the vashanti are
made up of ashter hogath and agamotto the same agamotto who created the eye of agamotto that
doctor strange has been wearing and using this whole time in the mcu he was also earth's first
sorcerer supreme before he embraced his heritage and became one of the vashanti if you're a big
star trek fan it's sort of like sisko on deep space nine embracing the fact that he actually
was born a god and then becoming a god later in his life it started with oster she was part of the
legit old god she had all these crazy powers when she was created her personality was kind of like
sersei's in the eternals movie she really liked lesser life form so she went traveling around
just experimenting with life in general across the multiverse eventually she met hoggoth who was the
god from this other completely different pantheon of aliens because she was so powerful eventually
agamotto was born from one of her tears and then he just existed kind of like a more mystical
powerful version of thor thor was the son of a god so he was born with all of his powers but for a
lot of his life he lived on earth amongst mortals but eventually he just embraced more of being a
god and just continued on because he's just going to live way longer than most of the people that he
hangs out with agamotto had a similar origin story it just happened in ancient times just
long long time ago for instance agamotto was part of the avengers 1 million bc team with
a younger version of odin long before thor was ever born agamoyto studied magic the multiverse
is immortal he became sorcerer supreme created the whole magical order that dr strange and wong
are a part of he built the temple that you see in spiderman no way home sanctum's built at the
intersection of cosmic energy currents we weren't the first to seek him out eventually he embraced
his god-level powers and joined the other members of the vishanti to become sort of like a god of
order in the mcu they're also kind of like the gods of magical order like if you think about
the nature of scarlet witch's chaos magic like the forces of chaos all the different types of
magic that you see in the mcu the different colors the different types of powers exist in a sort of
balance like you have the forces of chaos chaos magic you have the more orderly gods trying to
keep chaos from destroying all of reality that is the vishanti the book of the vishanti that we
also see in this trailer scene contains basically all the most powerful light side good magic spells
in existence that's why in the movie all these previous sorcerer supremes going back to agamotto
would keep it locked up in this special multiverse place separate from the rest of
the library in camartage and why he would try to use it to try and stop scarlet witch with
her chaos magic which just seemed so much more powerful than any other threat that he'd faced
but like if we're talking about sam raimi here doing a horror movie inside the mcu if someone
whipped out the necronomicon to talk about evil dead army of darkness easter eggs started using it
the vashanti are kind of like the opposite of that the guys that you would turn to for help
like i said the vashanti are able to have actual avatars like you see khonshu and moonite in the
mcu but in the comics agamotto's actual avatar for example is a completely different character called
cadaver they're probably not going to have him in the movie so that's why i think they're going to
change some of their backstory in the mcu like i said one of the big differences is it seems
like they encounter them when they're traveling through different dimensions different universes
so it sounds like they're gonna say that there's one version of ashanti for the entire multiverse
which would mean that they're way more powerful and most of their efforts are spent trying to
protect the main mcu dimension that's why in all the mcu movies if you look at the windows on all
the different sanctums you see them inside this room here too the different symbols of all the
sanctums they're meant to be symbols representing all the different members of the vishanti
and they're part of the enchantments protecting the planet from extra-dimensional threats like
the symbol on the new york sanctum is the actual symbol of agamotto himself for those of you asking
about connections to thor love and thunder and gore the god butcher trying to kill all the mcu
gods yes eventually gore would want to kill the vishanti the whole idea is that gore starts out
with some power the necro sword but as he kills more and more gods he convinces some of them to
do what he wants them to do and he gains even more power then he can kill the more powerful gods and
it just scales up from there so it'd take him a while before he killed the more powerful gods but
eventually he would be able to do that too but if you have any questions about what's going on with
the gods during the doctor strange multiverse of madness movie or in all the trailers just
write it below in the comments it'll be similar to what you see in the moon knight series and
what you see happening in thor love and thunder but obviously a different group of gods to signal
for an audience with the gods is to risk their wrath now it makes more sense why they're doing
all this god level stuff in the mcu all around the same time all these different movies and the
disney plus shows are coming out at the same time dealing with gods my full moon knight episode 5
video will post this week just like normal after they release it so make sure you enable alerts
