For copyright reasons, full-length reactions don't include the show or movie footage so you'll need to have your own copy to watch along with me. Ideally, you'll need two screens or two browser windows. One for the reaction, and the other for the show you're watching. Using your mobile is also viable to watch one of them. 

As many different streaming services in different countries often play trailers or recaps before the show starts, the easiest way I've found to sync up footage is to find the first frame of the episode, generally right after the opening credits finish on your own copy (unless of course, the show has a cold open), then pause it. Don't worry, I show you the frame to look for at the beginning of each full-length reaction! Next, play the reaction and you'll see a countdown timer at the end of the intro and when the show is about to start. Press "play" on your copy when the timer reaches 0:00. 

A small (but muted) portion of the show will stay on the screen to allow you to properly sync up your copy if you need to adjust it. The easiest way to eliminate any small discrepancies between the two is to rapidly pause and unpause the video that's ahead until both are running simultaneously.

Great reaction, for me personally this is probably my favorite Thor movie, but the first one is pretty good also.

Great reaction as always. Definitely a tonal shift from the previous films. They brought Taika Waititi in to direct this one after the lukewarm reception of the second Thor film (honestly should have brought Branagh back IMHO as he's the one I truly felt "got" the character). Adding Taika was both a blessing and a curse. While this entry at least still keeps "some" of the feel of the character that Kenneth Branagh established with the first entry and has some enjoyable moments here and there, it sadly also takes from the grandeur of the character and makes him a bit more of a bumbling fool for the sake of comedy. Not so much that it ruins this film in particular, but let's just say for spoilers sake it leads to much bigger problems down the line. I know you had asked in another question about when to slow down on the Marvel films. Personally I'm in the camp that most of what was truly great about the Marvel cinematic universe ends with Endgame. There are a few VERY BIG exceptions to this though (guardians 3, Spiderman: No Way Home, Deadpool & Wolverine). The problem of course being that aside from Guardians 3 (which was technically written before Endgame and really only requires the Christmas special for context) the others require quite a bit of homework. A journey through all the X-Men films for Deadpool, and a journey through all the Spiderman films for No Way Home. Tough to get around spoilers when discussing all this but suffice it to say the few films that have truly been great post Endgame have many a callback to previous Fox/Sony X-men/Spiderman films (and quite a bit to do with their respective universes outside of Disney/Marvel which is basically in damage control mode at the moment). I'll just say that it's definitely worth it in time as those three are truly good films, but something you may want to take gradually. As for the Marvel TV shows, I honestly have a whole lot of issues with those but unfortunately (unlike what the head of Marvel's Kevin Feige claimed originally) they've also become required viewing to understand a lot of plot points in the films. So the whole "in for a penny, in for a pound" thing kind of comes into play. I'd definitely suggest finishing it all at some point as the exceptions I mentioned above truly are worth the slog, but I'd definitely take your time with it all and not burn yourself out on it.
