Everyone DID notice the bizarre little asynchronous cameo of James Rhodes in Doctor Strange, violating the MCU timeline just seconds before Strange's fateful car crash, didn't you..?

Didn't you..?

And Tony's Father (and Mother) Died in a Car Crash - it just took the grip of a powerful man to finally snuff him.

So did Strange's Ego (it just took it about 5 years (and the grip of a powerful woman) to finally snuff it.

Robert Downey Jr. Has a Watch Collection. Which means that Tony Stark has a Watch Collection.

Before his accident, Stephen Strange has a Watch Collection.

After he becomes 

Sorcerer Supreme, 

Master of the Mystic Arts, 

he retains a single watch, given to him by someone who loved him.

It doesn't work.

For What is 'Time' to an Immortal..?

James Bond's Watch was a Wedding Present — inscribed on the back by his wife are the words 

We Have All The Time in The World.

This is a Curse. 

Because there is no such thing as 'Time' - so They have NOTHING.

And then She was shot in The Head.

Straight Through Her Third Eye

And James Bond is an immortal - as these dates prove.

Because he is constantly getting younger.

So, for an immortal, 

"We Have All The Time in The World"

is a curse on a par with

"May You Live in Interesting Times"

Robert Downey Jr lives in a Windmill.

Doctor Strange lives in a Temple.

Doctor Stephen Strange :

He could destroy life on a scale, heitherto undreamt of. 

Stark: 

Did you seriously say 'hitherto undreamt of'?

Dr. Strange: 

Are you seriously leaning on The Cauldron of the Cosmos?

Stark: 

Oh, is that what this is?

[Cloak smacks him] 

I’m going to allow that. 

Dr. Stephen Strange :

People Used To Think That I Was Funny...

Wong:

Did They Work For You?

Stark: 

Who just saved your magical ass? 

Me. 

Dr. Strange: 

I seriously don’t know how you get that head into that helmet.

Stark: 

Admit it, you should have ducked out when I told you to.

Strange: 

Unlike everyone else in your life, I don’t work for you.

Stark: 

And due to that fact, we’re now in a flying donut, 

billions of miles from Earth with no back-up.

Spider-Man :

I’m back-up.

Stark: 

No, you’re still away. 

The adults are talking. 

Strange: 

I’m sorry. I’m confused as to the relationship here. 

What is he, your ward?

The "Oh - and You're Welcome Moment" :

Stark actually says  it 

(Because he needs to be recognised)

Stark: [ to Strange] 

What is your job exactly, except to make balloon animals?

Dr. Strange: 

Protecting your reality, douchebag.

Get a Good Breakfast

“ Breakfast is the only meal of the day that I tend to view with the same kind of

traditionalized reverence that most people associate with Lunch and Dinner. I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally angled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. 

In Hong Kong, Dallas or at home — and regardless of whether or not I have been to bed — breakfast is a personal ritual that can only be properly observed alone, and in a spirit of genuine excess. 

The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crepes, a half- pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned beef hash with diced chiles, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of Key lime pie, two margaritas, and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert… 

Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours and at least one source of good music… 

All of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked."

Dr. Stephen Strange: 

No can do.

Only that The Crowd would be There to greet Him 

With howls of Lust and Fury. 

He began to realize his sense of Worth. 

He mattered. 

The Human Race - in What is Called TheWest, at Least - has lost the capacitu for individual members of it to scould one another.

It's been surgically excised from our toolkit of ethical ordering.

If every admonishment is regarded as a personal insult or an attack — the only effective workaround master skeleton key  remains laughter.

Laughter, joined to a sincere and spoken  declaration of Intent and Meaning :

"No — I am not laughing with you; 

I am laughing at You - Because You're Such a Damn Fool

You ain't funny; I know you think you are —

You're Not. You are Ridiculous."

Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:

(I) He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

(2) He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.

(3) He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

(4) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

(5) He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

Hence the saying: If you know Temple nemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. 

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. 

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

That Makes Me a Saaaaad Thanos

It was instantly obvious and clear to me that this is a film about DEPRESSION.

ALL of the Characters appearing in it as featured protagonists are depressed when this film begins - INCLUDING THE VILLAIN.

Thor is the only one who openly gives in to expressing his depression (which is the best scene in the entire film, located right it's the emotional and chronological centre) when Rocket realises that the fate of the universe rests on getting him to open up to him and talk to him,  even though offering berevement councilling to a grieving God is the absolute last thing in the world he either wants to, or is equipped to or qualified to handle, except that aside from him and the tree, there is *literally* no-one else able to support him, or offer The God the help he needs in order to be able to do all the things he is still have to going to do, and be able to do perfectly, with total commitment and 1010% effort.

All for this guy who can't even be bothered to get his species right.

And so he simply just takes a deep breath, futzes around for a second or two with some random control panel and tells himself "Well.... I guess it's time to be The Captain..."

Even though they might not yet realise it, all their inner chess-pieces are aligned around their own personal emotional crisis and poised for imminent collapse, and having the very core of their being and sense of True Self undermined and fundamentally tested and challenged - I've actually gone back over these in my head to the point where I can actually specify the source for the loss of self-confidence for every single major character in it

But just to mention the three most obvious and non-spoilery example, stated in terms of Cause and Effect :

Hulk is *NOT* The Strongest There is  - therefore, he is essentially suicidal (remember, Banner said in the earlier film, which expresses itself
