Doctor Strange: Elemental Review


Water: For the visuals, especially in the Mirror Dimension!
Earth: For the Sling Ring, which allows the mystics to open portals.
Air: For the Cape of Levitation.
Fire: For being one of the top Marvel movies in the Cinematic Universe!

I consider myself a comic book nerd, but I honestly didn't know much about Doctor Strange except for what I've seen in the Amazing Spider-Man Animated Series from when I was a child...And even that I didn't remember much.  Honestly, I always wondered how magic and wizardry would fit into the Marvel Universe.  I mean, the Marvel Universe to me was X-men -- basically normal people with strange powers.  The Cinematic Universe did great with adding Thor and the "gods" into the universe and it started to make sense for me.  So I figured added Doctor Strange wouldn't be that bad.  Honestly, I love anything to do with magic and wizards and urban fantasy.  That's what Doctor Strange was going to be!  

They blew it out of the water!  Doctor Strange was AMAZING.  I would rate it third best Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.  Ready: 
1. Guardians of the Galaxy
2. Civil War
3. Doctor Strange
4. Avengers 

Yup, I said it, well, wrote it.  Doctor Strange beats the Avengers!

One America, One Nation

Do not forget that we are not two nations: Democrat and Republican, Elephant and Donkey, Red and Blue, Trump and Clinton...We are ONE nation. We are a nation built on differences. That is what makes us strong! We need to come back together, take in all of these different points of view. Accept them. Then make a decision...TOGETHER. Hate and violence will only take us back in time...Laziness, complacency, and sitting on the couch, will not promote change.
To my brothers and sisters that are scared, that fear walking down the street again. Those people that make you fear have been here all along, they haven't changed, they haven't disappeared and come back. They have always been here. We have been here before! We have fought adversity our entire lives! This is weaker than us! We are better than this! Our job is not to make others support us and see things our way. Our job is to make them understand love like we do, a love that defies the very laws of nature! So do not be scared, because showing fear will make them think they won. Showing fear will make them think that we are going to go back to our closets! We are not going anywhere.
...And to people who claim they are going to leave the country...I understand where you are coming from, but running away never solved anything. Your mothers should have taught you this. This country was not built on cowardice and giving up. We are not a country that gives up!
Do not ask a hateful person to change their mind, to believe your way. Ask them to listen, to understand, to ACCEPT...And move on to the next. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!
