Share All Your Spoilery Doctor Strange Feelings Here!
Not everyone will have seen Doctor Strange this weekend but if you did I’ve got just the spot for you to talk about it without spoiling anyone else.
Here!
I’m actually headed to the theater in just a bit for my viewing but I know lots of folks have already seen it so here’s your place to spout all the spoilers about the film as you’d like.
So yeah, SPOILER WARNING in effect! THE COMMENTS ON THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR DOCTOR STRANGE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK AFTER THESE GIFS.
I’ve got one piece up at HitFix now discussing my thoughts about the film’s connection (or lack thereof) to the Marvel cinematic universe but will likely have a few others up this coming week. [UPDATE: Another post on HitFix, this one about how unlikeable I found Dr. Strange.
Take it away, folks!
– Tilda Swinton was great in this movie.
– I’m wondering about the timing of this movie. In the first act we have a reference to War Machine’s spinal injury. In the second act they talk about how it takes years of practice and study to become a sorcerer. That means that even if he’s quick, the third act takes place at least five years Civil War.
The timing is up in the air, but turns out that WASN’T a reference to War Machine. I updated my one HitFix post there with a note from Derrickson about it.
Then it had to have been the guy that was part of Hammer corps trials.
That’s what I thought when I heard it.
Wong wasn’t Strange’s manservant! I am pleased with that.
He was my favorite character of the film. I am partial to librarians, though it had everything to do with Benedict Wong being awesome and elevating a bit part into something truly special.
The Staff of One!
Runaways needs to be made ASAP.
Did it show up???
Nico Minoru’s mom has a cameo with the Staff of One, but she looks quite young given that Hulu is going to make a Runaways series soon.
Kill me. Where? I don’t remember it at all. I’m dying.
It’s in the scene at the Hong Kong Sanctum where Wong tells everybody to grab an artifact.
What was up with those elbow exposing sleeves?
As the true nature of the Eye of Agamotto was revealed, all I could think was “Rachel McAdams talent is once again wasted playing the romantic interest of a (sorta) time traveler”.

I put my spoilers in the form of a podcast & written review: https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com/2016/11/05/whats-the-diagnosis-of-doctor-strange/
Waiting for the X-Men to cross over with the MCU so that Blink can come face to face with Odin, who calls her by her first name. Would riot.
[…] I’ve got a Doctor Strange open thread coming up next so save your movie spoilers for that please! [UPDATE: Here’s a link to that post!] […]
