Hey guys! I just saw Doctor Strange and
since i'm currently working on a little
villain pub episode I want to take a
little break and share my thoughts on
the doctor that is strange.
If you guys were interested if not i...
see you on the next one i guess. thanks for
watching! Anyway let's get to it.
Doctor Strange! He's a smarty pants but also
he's magic now!
HEY! ... ...all right
Doctor Strange is the origin story about
a Bendy Cumberbatch that hurts his hands
and has to go to the kungfu wizard
school of the matrix and inception to
steal someone's flying Headless Horseman cloak
and then fight some other angry
evil kun fu Wizards that are
trying to enhance their evil eye makeup
skills by summoning an even MORE evil
angry space giant to destroy the earth.
I know right! That old story again.
But it's actually a lot more than that. It's not
just another origin story for the MCU
with another hero...
Well... yes it is. But it's also a story
about a man who loses everything and
goes on a journey of self-discovery and
also has a hot girlfriend that helps
them achieve his true self was calling
save the earth from bad guys. NO!
This time it's different because magic and
timey-wimey! Poof Benedict Cumberbatch!
See. Different. I actually enjoyed Doctor Strange
i don't know the first thing about Doctor
Strange, but I enjoyed the film. It was
interesting finding out that magic has
been on earth all along. Fighting these
other battles while the Avengers
storyline is happening. It's a great
addition to the MCU that leads the way
to expanding new universes quite
literally even. Adding more characters to the
playing field, as well as opening ways to
visit others down the line.
It's very entertaining. It has lots of
comedy, which I was not expecting, so that
was a very nice surprise.
You can't deny that the effects in this
movie are off the chain! Sorry I said off
the chain that way I won't do it again...
They are off the chain. If you can see this one
in 3d I highly recommend it i think this
one is worth the experience. So my
non-spoiler review is, go check it out
see it in 3d if you can but you guys
already saw it didn't you?
You don't care about this non-spoiler
review stuff. No. You want the full
Cumberbatch of goodies so let's talk
about the movie. Shall we?
Spoiler warning! Spoiler Warning!
doctor strange's got the spoiler warning YEAH!
ok what did you think about the doctor?
The doctor? Not that Doctor. This doctor!
totally different. Has Benedict
Cumberbatch played any awful roles?
i think Cumberbatch has reached this level of...
if he's in it it's probably got
something going for it and I think he's
great as Stephen Strange. You might say
he's a little just like Tony Stark.
He has money. He's focused on himself.
He's full of funny one-liners. He drives a
flashy car. He... becomes a superhero!
Hey he is not just like iron man you guys!
I know his necklace glows in his
chest just like an arc reactor, and he
can fly... and he has goatee...
but these guys are different! Okay!
They are different! I really like Doctor Strange.
What did you think about the
special effects? That's a stupid question.
The special effects in this movie are
possibly the true hero of the film. The
art direction and the visual spectacle of
everything from the sling rings, to the
world manipulation, to the astral
projections, to the cloak of levitation.
This movie's effects are so awesome
I can't wait for this to be on video so
that i can just like pause it and like just
look at everything up close and be
like how do they even make stuff move
like this?! It's so amazing! I thought the
effects were very inspiring and possibly
my favorite part about the entire movie.
What did you think about Cass silly... Caelius
ka... sillius. Kay silly us? Can I just call him
Mads Mikkelsen? Rouge One Dad?
Hannibal Lecter? Hannibal? What did you think
about him? I unfortunately didn't find
Kaecilius that interesting.
He's always running around with his
minions being all evil. But his
motivation didn't really speak to me.
He's just kind of that bad guys out there
making a mess so the doctor strange can
be forced to save the day. But there
isn't much of a connection between
Strange and Kaecilius. I thought their
conflict just sort of took off at thin
air. I would have really liked to have
seen more of the Ancient One's side losing
to Kaecilius. You know while Dr. Strange
is still developing skills but what can
you do. The more exciting villain turns
out to be Mordo when it's all over
so Kaecilius was always going to be that
one time baddy. I'm guessing the Mordo
reveal wasn't really a surprise to
anyone familiar with the series, but I
was like oh that's interesting.
he's played a bad guy before that should
be cool! I still have a lot of questions...
but I'm excited about that all the same.
What about white lady Morpheus? You mean the
ancient one?
Yeah what do you think about her?
So... apparently in the source material the
ancient one is a man and is not Caucasian.
I did not know that but not in
this movie. In this movie the ancient one
is Tilda Swinton and I actually thought
she was all right considering she kinda
makes this face the entire time she's on
screen but everything she's a part of is
really cool and she's totally the best
master wizard ninja person in the movie
She definitely made me wish i could see more
of their stories
prior to Doctor Strange. I mean I don't want
to tell you how to do your job...
Marvel, but I'm just saying, since you're
already doing them... I'm pretty sure a
Mordo Netflix prequel series
would be amazing. It doesn't even have to
be a prequel. i'm just saying i I'd watch
them all and why aren't you doing this?
What are we talking about? oh yeah the
ancient one.
yes she's cool but then they reveal oh
no she's been pulling power from the
Dark Dimension she's been kinda evil all
along! Just like Hannibal Lecter! And then
she's like, "Well I had to but I don't
really recommend you do what I did." So that
makes everyone cool with it for some
reason and then Hannibal throws her off a
building and then she dies... like a good
obi-wan kenobi is supposed to.
Spoiler Alert.
So then it's up to Dr. Strange to save
the day from the evil Dormammu dorm door..
mu.. Ugh these names
he's going to destroy the earth and dr.
strange decides, I'm gonna pester him into
submission with a hilarious time loop
and Dormammu is like "I can't take it anymore!"
just keep your dumb planet!" and then
he leaves and all the other bad guys
conveniently get pulled into the Dark
Dimension with him because, we gotta wrap
this up and everything is saved.
Except maybe London. Man, sorry London.
So what was the point?
What did we learn? Well I for one learned
what a sling ring is. But i still have a
lot of questions like, why didn't the
levitation cloak choose Wong instead of
Doctor Strange? Wong is clearly awesome.
He is arguably the best character in the
movie next to the cloak of levitation so...
where is Wong's cloak of levitation!? But
seriously I actually do have a lot of
questions. But i still enjoyed the movie.
Anyway i think the point was to tell a
story of self-discovery. Giving up
selfishness to help others. Or maybe
Marvel just wanted to make a movie about
magic before Fantastic Beasts hits theaters.
I don't know. Or maybe it's to teach kids
the texting and driving might turn you into a superhero.
Please don't do that. That is so
terrifying and so wrong.
but all joking aside my feeling of the
movie was that we never really lose our
demons we can only rise above them.
If you don't you will lose your way.
Doctor Strange's hands still shake at the
end of the film he is not perfect and he
will probably always fight this battle
along with his ego and being selfish but
hopefully he can channel is abilities
into a higher purpose. If that's the
message, then I like it.
ok that's my knee-jerk reaction to Doctor Strange.
Let me know what you thought about
doctor strange in the comments. I know we
we'll get cracking on a doctor strange
how it should have ended very soon.
Like I said I'm in the middle of a
different project right now that i will
post the second is ready, but after that
we'll get back to the HISHE grind
because we got so many great titles
coming out so... That's all for now!
Thank You for watching! be sure to follow us on
