re: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness SPOILERS THREAD

yeah, Wanda wrecked shite so quickly it was hard to process.

Imagine the most powerful organization taken down by an possessed suburban mom.

But to your point. I wonder how close this movie came to being R...because I almost feel like it deserves an R.

fricking Wanda wasted Black Bolt

I'm still confused how that actually happened.

Since when could she reshape reality like that to remove a dude's mouth?

I’m biased because the original Dr. Strange is one of my favorite Marvel movies, but I thought that movie was Incredible. Was it trippy and convoluted? Sure. But I don’t think that makes it bad

Wanda and Strange both had some really poignant moral dilemmas and character development. Wong is invincible as per usual.

Throwing music notes and making classical pieces out of them, while fricking ridiculous, was kind of genius. Making strange 2 fall into strange 1’s universe while dead and then strange 1 dream walking into strange 2’s dead body that had been buried? Such a fricking good idea. The “souls of the damned” thing was pretty weird though

I think the real best part of this movie by far though was Wanda. The set up with her and Billy and Tommy, her deciding that she would give up everything as well as kill a child just to have them, and then seeing her heart completely shattered when she realized they would never be her true kids? And all because America opened the portal to show her what would happen? Man that was some fricking heart wrenching stuff

For Stephen, finding out that there are infinite multiverses, and then being tempted by a multiverse where he could be with Christine, only to find out later there wasn’t a single one of the infinite multiverses where they were together? Damn man that’s gotta be rough.

The super hero dialogue was definitely heavy on this one, and I think the worst of it was when Christine told the souls to go back to hell. That was pretty bad.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it

I was shocked at no versions of Vision.

Thrilled to see Captain Carter in the flesh.

Not surprised ultimately at no version of Tony Stark, but it's the MCU. The Ton Cruise rumors may ultimately be correct, so the "No" could actually be "Not yet".

Remember when folks were convinced Strange was going to be in WandaVision? The twins stuff had to be filmed at the time of WV, otherwise they'd have aged out. The Westview scenes were filmed concurrently with WV and MoM, presumably. Cruise Stark may make an appearance yet.

Wanda single-handedly smoking the 838-Illuminati shouldn't necessarily shock anyone. She nearly took out Thanos with 5/6 Infinity Stones.

But we got to see the Brazier of Bom'Galiath properly used, so that was a payoff from DS1

Early discussion about this movie was that Wanda might be the villain, but the trailer showing Strange talking to her in the orchard, asking for her help seemed to successfully juke the speculation.

Her intensity in every scene was nice.

Reading a bunch of nerds saying that Johnny K was miscast as Mr. Fantastic.

They need to be reminded of fricking Miles Teller and Ioan Gruffud smh

he was perfect as Richards imho - it needs to be done for good.
