This is a pleasant surprise.

OH NO YOU DIDN’T!!!

Now that I've watched it, I have to say you did better than I thought. Not having seen some of the things referenced here, you grasped the main points well. On another note, your comment about finding it calming during their travelling through the universes kindled a thought. Have you ever seen fractals? Several sites on YouTube display them, maybe check them out. Good to have you back in the MCU, dear.

I agree, Mum did fantastic! I suggested this film precisely because she'd seen WandaVision (twice!) and would remember some of the crucial events of that series, because they're very central to Wanda's villain arc here.

Michele, you did AMAZING! THANK YOU! It's been so long since you reacted to the first Doctor Strange film, so I wasn't expecting you to remember Steven's colleague Doctor West (who sat next to him at Christine's wedding at the beginning of this film) or Mordo (one of his teachers/trainers at Kamar-Taj who fought alongside him and Wong to defeat the villain in the first Doctor Strange film). BUT, you've seen WandaVision (twice), so I knew you'd remember the key events from that show! You even remembered some of the details, e.g., the ruins of Wanda's childhood home (bombed by Stark's weapons)! Btw, did that door really haunt your dreams that night after you watched this film? LOL! Ha, barely a minute after you confessed you didn't like that giant eyeball of the monster, Doctor Strange took it out! The events of the opening scene were not a dream and did happen in a different universe when Doctor Strange in our universe was asleep. So, that universe's Doctor Strange did die, and his body ended up in our universe along with America when she escaped the demon by opening the portal out of fear. Doctor Strange would later use that dead body to dreamwalk into for the final act of this film. Your question later about why the dead body had already decayed so much when the death was so very recent is valid. The answer is that, as shown in the opening scene of the film when one of the demon's tentacles seared a hole through pony-tail Doctor Strange's calf, its venom accelerated the decay of the surrounding flesh. Presumably, therefore, when he was finally killed by the demon, his body began decaying very fast. Yes, that Peggy Carter, Captain America's beau. In that universe (838), it turned out that she became the first super-soldier instead of Steve. So, in 838, instead of Captain America, we have Captain Carter with the British flag on her shield. Similarly, Captain Marvel in 838 turns out to be not Carol Danvers (like in our universe), but her BFF Maria Rambeau. Your frustrated face when they stopped running and turned around after the blast door sealed Wanda from continuing to chase them from behind was me in the cinema when I watched this film for the first time. It's a classic horror film trope, right?! And yeah, this is the MCU's first ever horror film. I think I might have left that part out when I suggested that you watch it! This would have been a good watch for Halloween, but for this coming Halloween, I have a better suggestion for you; please react to "Agatha All Along" which is a spinoff of WandaVision. Remember Agatha Harkness, the villain witch in WandaVision? After defeating her by absorbing all her purple magic powers, Wanda imprisoned her in Westview, casting a spell to brainwash her to continue living as the character she played before revealing her true self, i.e., the nosy neighbor Agnes. This spinoff show (which will be released in a couple of months) takes us back to Westview and will follow Agnes. Will she break out of Wanda's spell, now that she's "dead" (which is one way to interpret what happened at the end of this film when she brought down Mount Wundagore to destroy the Darkhold forever)? Could she regain her powers? Watch "Agatha All Along" to find out! The watch that Christine had gifted him broke the night he crashed his car and his life changed. He carried it on his wrist at all times as a reminder of his fateful past. When he finally fixes it at the end of this film, I like to interpret that as him finally "letting go" of his past, accepting that Christine has moved on, and himself moving on as well. Indeed, a third eye appeared on his forehead involuntarily not long after and because he used the Darkhold to dreamwalk into his own corpse. Remember that the Darkhold corrupts anyone that uses it, regardless of how powerful or pure they are. ("It exacts a heavy toll.") It pulled Agatha Harkness and Wanda Maximoff into villainy. The trademark sign of the corruption is the dark/black ends of the fingers, which you may have noticed both on Agatha (in WandaVision) and on Wanda's Scarlet Witch (in this film) as well as 838's bowl-cut Doctor Strange (briefly in the flashback scene projected by Charles Xavier, the oldest member of the Illuminati). However, our universe's Doctor Strange doesn't have blackened fingers, presumably because his exposure to the Darkhold was limited, but even the limited use appears to have had the effect of growing a third eye! (So, it's more of a side-effect rather than a "punishment" as you put it.) There is a mid-credits scene in this film (that you missed) that shows our Doctor Strange sometime after the events of this film, having comfortably embraced and in control of his third eye. In this scene, he is made aware that his dreamwalking had caused an "incursion" and he ventures into the dark dimension (remember Dormamu from the end of the first Doctor Strange film?) on a mission to fix it.
