Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

There is a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene in Dr. Strange. If you are having bladder issues or something, the second post-credits scene at the very end is skippable.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Moon Knight

Well, that was a confusing mess. Some pretty bits, but overall -- meh.

I was impressed by the acting of Oscar Isaac. He made it easy to see and hear when he switched characters.

I was impressed by the acting of Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy. They delivered some very silly lines with sincerity.

Doctor Strange was entertaining, though Cumbermuffin continues to be miscast. Elizabeth Olsen, on the other hand, is a fucking powerhouse. Also, there was a ton of stuff I wasn't spoiled for, so go me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cumbermuffin continues to be miscast. Elizabeth Olsen, on the other hand, is a fucking powerhouse.

Agree on both points. (She's honestly too good an actress for the MCU.)

I think both post-credits scenes are pretty skippable - the first one is a Hey Look What Might Be The Next Movie bit, but it's not interesting on its own. (The second one is just a gag.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Was so early to my showing that I have already seen the second post credit scene. Oops. ION, apparently sitting next to strangers is allowed again.

That was indeed fun! And I am pleased, and a little surprised, that I was not spoiled for any of it, really

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I managed to stay really unspoiled for Dr. Strange, which made those parts fun, but I realize I just fundamentally don't care about his whole Thing.

Someone else in the theater after said, "It's giving Everything Everywhere All At Once" and that movie may have spoiled me for multiverses, tbh.

My emotional involvement with Dr Strange is pretty much nonexistent. If I start thinking about the implications of some of those multiverses it’ll irritate me, so I don’t. I might want to see Everything Everwhere again, though, now that you mention it!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

What I have gotten out of those two movies is an occasional, "Oh, that looks cool," occasional chuckles, a reinforced love of Elizabeth Olsen, a conviction that Cumberbatch and McAdams have no chemistry, and an appreciation of the sentient cape.

Also, the surprise cameos were cool, because I knew who those people were and it made me feel smart.

What is the difference between a cape and a cloak, anyway? I know I could look it up but I feel certain I have looked it up before and have a vague sense that the results were unsatisfactory in some way.
