Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Doctor Strange (2016)

 

There were a number of things I did not catch on to in this movie that my boyfriend pointed out as we were watching, were there any that you picked up on with a second watch or even on the first? 
While this movie was a nice reprieve from the typical superhero and all the in-fighting they have been doing it lately, it is hard to understand how anyone can just unlock this power of chi to become a hero. Why aren't more people heroes then? Also, I know ShangChi has not come out yet as of this movies original release, but are they going to be related somehow? And how do we have dozens of the good guys at the training ground but only like 4 bad guys and yet we somehow can't manage to take them out?

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

  • Wait, is this modern times or ancient times?? Are we time travelers now?
  • We can just control the gravity of certain people now?
  • How are the buildings moving like that and now affecting anyone in a negative way??
  • IT'S THE AVATAR!
  • Wow, they almost harvested organs out of somebody they wrongfully declared as dead. Wonder how many times that happens in real life...
  • Why did we have to cover the watch? Also, why was he wearing that big watch in their anyway?
  • OH, Doctor Strange is an actual Doctor and not just like a self-proclaimed braniac on alien stuff because he is an alien from another world...
  • Bow ties always make me think of Bill Nye the Science Guy.
  • Did he just phase through the car as it was crashing? No, he just crushed the steering wheel... More confused than before, though, to be honest.
  • I wonder if the hospital covers the bill when one of their own gets injured and needs expensive treatments...
  • I feel bad for him and the tremors. Is this how he gets his powers?
  • That other doctor was very rude.
  • So much empty space in that apartment.
  • Y'know, I always thought Doctor Strange and Wanda were a thing, not Wanda and the Jarvis body.
  • He's really going to put his trust into this spiritual guru thing because it helped that man walk again? Does his partner care? Did she leave him? Was that what that scene in the apartment about the loan was about?
  • Y'know, in Boy Meets World, when Erik goes off and becomes like a hobo hermit guy? That's what Doctor Strange looks like with that raggy beard.
  • Is she secretly super smart or does she just pull the information from an ethereal realm like a god?
  • So even though he trusts and believes that man who can walk, he doesn't want to believe in the things this lady is telling him?
  • Was his body technically dead for a second when his soul left his body?
  • How does all this throwing his soul around the astral plane actually do to his mental state? I feel like most people would go crazy and be crushed by these types of things.
  • She said no. Went through all that awakening stuff and threw him out. Wow.
  • "The wifi password, we aren't savages." Imagine somebody actually used that password for their own wifi and its name was the name of that place.
  • He finished them but did he actually retain the information?
  • That is a very weird way of shelving the books.
  • Why did the page need to be put on the ground in front of them to cast that spell?
  • Why is he practicing these spells and shapes if he can not conduct the magic needed?
  • SHE'S JUST GOING TO LEAVE HIM OUT THERE TO MAKE HIM LEARN HOW TO ACCESS IT?
  • Her smile slowly starts to fade away... how would she feel if he didn't make it?
  • Ooo, he got new color robes. What do the colors represent?
  • Did he just call him Beyonce? Why?
  • Taking the book from in front of him is wild.
  • Now he has blue robes!
  • Has he outgrown his tremors or is the actor just forgetting to tremor his fingers?
  • Did he always have the greys or has he been there so long he is growing them? Do they represent his knowledge?
  • A staff that acts as a whip...totally makes sense.
  • They can use magic to transport themselves through space but can't make a fake umbrella to keep themselves dry?
  • Shouldn't he put himself into that glass dimension before practicing?
  • Sooooo, if he can control time and the aging of the apple, can he do it on a larger scale and reverse the actions of Thanos?
  • Shouldn't he read the book fully before deciding to try something? Instead of saying the warnings should come before the spell?
  • What just happened?
  • Where did they send him and why? Did they even mean to send him there?
  • Are these all relics? Is the cape his relic?
  • Smart move, trapping them in those other locations.
  • Aww, the cloak protected him.
  • Him fighting against the cloak to get the ax is funny.
  • What is going on with his eyes?
  • What does the symbol on that man's forehead represent?
  • That blood spatter on the floor as he was walking doesn't make sense from a physics perspective, just saying.
  • Why only her?
  • Can he actually do anything in that form? Oh, the answer to that is yes, but no, all at the same time.
  • So he can choose to be visible or not be?
  • If they can't be seen, shouldn't they also not affect the real-world objects?
  • Why does everyone jump immediately to a cult? Are we considering the Buddhists a cult?
  • What happened to the guy in the cage thing?
  • How does becoming a Doctor save his own life?
  • He may not be able to affect the real world from within but he has the ring so he can get out dummy.
  • Doesn't the cloak make him able to fly? Why did he fall?
  • It's giving Demon Slayers in the Castle.
  • See, you should've taken his ring. And now that he took yours, you are stuck there.
  • If she does pull magic from the dark dimension, why doesn't she look like them?
  • Is she going to die here?
  • Yup. Stabbed and falls from like 100 floors up in the air.
  • Why not do the time reversal magic to bring her back?
  • He thought he was all cool pulling his collar up and then the cloak wiped his tears and broke that tension lol,
  • Why do they have sanctums all around the world? Why not just have the one location hidden in the mountains?
  • Is he or is he not on her side? Like I thought he was against her using the dark power but now he is trying to put logic to her doing that and say it was for a good reason...
  • Soooo, we mentioned the Avengers, why are they not here trying to investigate it and getting in the way themselves?
  • Is he doing the time reversal or is somebody else?
  • Will people remember almost dying and then being alive again when this reversal thing is over?
  • How is the world reversing and yet they are making new decisions and motions at the same time?
  • We can just stop time like that now?
  • Deja vu for the dark world huh?
  • So we are just going to drive the darkness into craziness?
  • It's the real-life '1000 Ways to Die' experience, lol.
  • There were only 3 of them left on Earth? I was expecting to see a bunch of random bodies being pulled into the Dark World.
  • I think he paid his dues dying 20 million times in that pocket time loop dimension... Don't you?
  • So that is the green infinity stone? Time-bending?
  • The little shape thingy being on all their windows makes me think of the Series of Unfortunate Events eye that goes on all the windows... Doesn't the Umbrella Academy have a thing like that, too? I think the Mysetrious Benedict Society did as well... Not to mention the Illuminati. There are just symbols everywhere, huh?
  • So he is going to help Thor find Odin? I thought Odin died?
  • Was that Hulk that he took the powers from? If so, we got both Thor and Hulk in our end credit scenes, and that explains why they weren't in the Avengers scene battle from Civil War ... actually no, it doesn't, because this happens after that battle... Nevermind.
