I do have one question: is Marvel using multiverse, dimensions, and timeline to all mean the same thing?

---

The movies are playing fast a loose with the terminology. Generally, there are dimensions within a universe (Superstring posits ten, for example). A multiverse is a bunch of universes.

Think of it kind of like cables:



The "universe" is the entire cable. The "dimensions" are the different levels (although that's not the best physical representation, it at least gives a basic idea). A "multiverse" would then be a bundle (or, in Marvel's case, and infinite number) of cables.

After seeing it. I remember people on this board saying Wanda could be the villain moving forward. Good call.

She was incredibly strong. But to be able to snap Professor X's neck?

Also really hoping John Krasinski is Reed Richards that us a great casting. I also like Monica Rambeau better as Captain Marvel. Brie just can't act.

The Illuminati earth looked perfect. Maybe too much pollen in the air. Other than that. Very interesting.
I wish the MCU would have gotten a different designation. They got the comic universe designation.


It was good. Not great. Mid tier marvel movie

The scarlet witch in Lore is supposed to be like the second or third strongest entity in the whole multiverse, so this doesn’t really seem like a stretch to me at all

I just got out and liked the movie. I will go with 7/10 like many others, though I am teetering on 6/10 instead.

The Illuminati being a job squad for Wanda, while awesome action, seemed like a waste of the characters. Though Black Bolt freaking out on his mouth disappearing and accidentally blowing his own brain looked cool,it felt really hollow.

I also really hated them dubbing the MCU 616. 616 is the comics. You can make reference to it, but don't use it for the movies. They are way too different from the comics.

America Chavez was better in this movie than the comics, but the actress was just bad. I appreciate that they toned down her character, and she wasn't just a Mary Sue. She struggled, she was scared, and at the end while her actions led to Wanda stopping, she didn't outright overpower her to defeat her.

And man, Wanda was just so fantastic this movie. I was seriously rooting for her to get her kids. She was full blown Momma Bear. I think a huge part of this movie was about the lengths a mom will go to for her children.

One thought I had though it didn't take away from the movie. Was the Illuminati the Avengers in their universe? Is there no Iron Man, Hulk, Spiderman, Ant Man, Thor, etc? Cause the Thanos they killed looked to have been ran through the chest with a spear.

I think the Black Bolt scene was a wink at how bad the Inhumans series was.

I think Loki is getting a 2nd season

Lastly, it’s complete & utter BS that the MCU is claiming 616 for itself. That’s the comic universe & I think Feige should be ashamed for allowing that.

This first happened in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

or Krasinski as Reed

---

I would be really surprised if Krasinski signed up for it. He has an exclusive first-look deal with Paramount. Maybe if it were one or two films, but the Reed character will likely be a 8-10 year commitment.

Are you referring to Far From Home with Mysterio? He mentions 616 as the universe for the movies, but he was faking everything. So I took that as an Easter Egg nod.
