The thing is, disney tends to be pretty tame when it comes to the MCU. Disney doesn't really go out of their way to do something that's too unique or out there because these movies still have to be accessible for younger audiences so they can maximize profits . That's why everything just has a pg-13 rating slapped on to it and the movies in general arent that different from each other and tend to be formulaic.

Just watched it and I thought the whole movie was just a conclusion to Wanda's villain arc while introducing some new faces. Even though it's fast-paced, some emotional moments really hit me. The writing could also use some improvement but overall it was fun

[@furionmax7824]

The scariest part for me is the fact that Mind Manipulation for Wanda now is pretty much second nature to her. She no longer needs to get close to targets like she did in Age of Ultron. Speaking of which. There were a total of two times that they could've killed Wanda. One was when she still had Wong strung up and that girl sacrificed herself to destroy the Darkhold. The second was when Charles and her were having a mental fight. The thing with Wanda that I saw is that she can't attack in the real world and fight a mental battle at the same time. In the time it took for Christine to help out Chavez one of them could've killed her right there and then with a shard of glass.

[@nileverdeen3797]

[@Noir_tommie]

i think marvel should make just a movie not trying to connect it to others or the previous, just a stand alone movie, cause now people just go cause they want to see if this person is in it or that person is in it, lets just get a regular movie with no connection to others and no attachment

[@klaedoe9042]

I think the closest thing that we've gotten to that was moonknight, granted I havent seen the finale, but moonknight really was mostly its own standalone thing, the only thing that was a reference was pretty small and really didnt have that much impact on the story except to make a certain example

[@icallhimGOD2]

Anyone else think about how this wasn’t just a horror interpretation but an expression of how that universe was different. I read the switch in editing, corny lines, actually great slasher horror homage shots as denoting a “television-esk” universe. A time honored trope like when they jump into the tv dimension in fairly odd parents

[@icallhimGOD2]

This wording was clunky looking back. I think Raimi was leaning into both his personal style and that of other tv/film genres from “his” era to achieve the “other” universe feel.

[@nekonebitan2912]

Also spoiler Sadly, I have to say that The Illumanti where so underwhelming and were took out by ease. They showed them defeating Thanos but Wanda gets rid of them in like 2 minutes. Fing Reed Richards who is one of the smartest people in the Marvel universe gets taken out like that, and Black Bolt who is op as shit also bam 10 seconds gone, we didn't even see him in action. Captain Carter held on more against Wanda than these two but it should've been the other way around. The scene with Charles is dope af but also for the strongest telepath in the Marvel universe he also went out quickly...

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

Spoiler....this movie is stupid and its audience is stupid, obviously by this comment. You liked the music note fight? How tragic.

[@Silvanor0]

Honestly, the slicing in half was just unexpected and honestly the Black Bolt death scene is just as brutal. I honestly want more of Sam Raimi in the MCU because this is possibly the only film in the MCU that will be this brutal and horrific enough that could scare the kids. When the kids grow up, they'll probably like the movie a lot more since there's no other MCU movie that will go this far for being pg13. Gotta hand it to Sam Raimi.

Throughout the movie I just couldnt perceive Wanda as a villain and I think her actions are somewhat justified by how much terror she went through considering she faced death of her many loved ones while living in a reality which turned out to be all fake oh and also seeing there are many universes where she can be happy while she is the one that experienced all the suffering and hardships.

Wanda and America Chavez STOLE the show. cameos were few & well utilized. the action and horror were stellar. it was trippy and fun and wild and different.

[@seannanana84]

I get the critiques but I really enjoyed it and it was definitely a surprising movie at times. I jumped a few times and it felt super uneasy which I appreciate. I've never felt true dread watching an MCU movie but it made me feel that during some scenes (not as in it was dreadful to watch but more like "oh this is getting dark and sad what's gonna happen next" kind of feeling) the cameos we're great but I'm glad they weren't focused on as much as I'm sure other people wanted. I would have liked to see other universes more, maybe a bit more jumping through them but I think now that America Chavez has been brought in we might get that in another flick. Overall it was a fun ride and I will go back to see it in 3D next week ☺️

[@cogniferous2537]

I think I am going to through the multiverse and "retire" all my doppelgangers so I can become the One. Haha. I really think they are cramming too much into these shows now that you really are beginning to lose the narrative. Time travel/alternate timelines are one of my favorite tropes in science fiction and I have written some myself and you really have to be meticulous in the booking aspect of the genre or it quickly becomes a real mess. The time travel aspects of the MCU were a mess to begin with and now you have several series all messing with the multiverse and the number of narrative threads seem to grow with each show. The Watcher, Kang, He Who Remains, the TVA, and so on have all been introduced within the multiverse and certainly can't be mutually exclusive with each other since it is the same multiverse. First it was Loki and Sylvie opening the multiverse, than Dr. Strange botched a spell and opened the multiverse and the TVA still exists so what they are doing and supposedly Kang is the one who conquered all so why isn't he doing whatever it is he does to become He Who Remains yet the Watcher is supposedly looking out over the multiverse and even though he isn't supposed to interfere he always does anyway so is he just going to let things slide this time, and... I am too tired to go on. Way too many narrative threads are hanging out there. Sure they could possible tie them all up at some point but honestly, even if they do, it will be an ad hoc mess at best.

The writing in this movie was so bad. The fact that one character came across an alternate self from another universe who said "prove to me that you are who you say you are - tell me something only I know" and the character dives headfirst into a story about something that happened to the character's sister as a kid with a lot of details, and the alt character said "sounds about right" - as if every single universe has this same hyper-specific event occur which was never talked about before or after - like what? Literally how can this movie be about a villian who wants to be in a universe where she has kids, yet another character apparently has a sibling that died as a child from falling through ice that we never see in every single universe? It's so dumb.

Not to mention, they label him later as coming from a specific universe, but how did they even know that was the universe he came from?

Spoilers here! ... This movie was an entertaining mess. I have so many questions after watching it earlier today. Apparently main MCU Wanda Maximoff is dead now? If there are other universes in which she does have children, surely their dad can't be Vision? Since when do androids have sperm? Also, even though the Baron Mordo variant was cool to see, where TF is main MCU Baron Mordo? Apparently, before the events of this movie Doctor Strange and Mordo had a confrontation in which Mordo died or something? And lastly, Charlize Theron as a purple power ranger who can also open portals to other universes? Wtf? After a Google search apparently the character is known as Clea and she's another sorcerer that's also a potential love interest of Doctor Strange.

[@seannanana84]

There are infinite possibilities in regards to the Multiverse Wandas and the different Visions (he could be alive in other universes) the main Wanda we watched isn't necessarily dead but she self destructed and is also going around destroying the evil book across the Multiverse. My concern about that is that 2 other Wandas are now also aware of ours so we might see a version of her again and maybe this time she isn't seduced into the dark side. Maybe she never meets Agatha.

[@seannanana84]

It should have been Wanda's movie outright instead of a Dr Strange sequel, it felt more like the sequel to WandaVision than to the first Dr Strange movie. It felt ambitious but not quite living up to its own ambition which makes it work as a part in overall larger story I just hope they know where to go next and I have theories that I will keep to myself because I don't want to spoil it. That said I like how unhinged Scarlett Witch was especially in regards to a few of those cameos and I appreciated America Chavez being introduced because I feel like she will be very important later to clean up some of the open questions we are dealing with and I hope she gets more development and time. Overall yes it's great if you like the MCU, it's enough different that I appreciate it but I did want more from it. As for the horror when it got into what Sam Rami is good at (the perspective and the tracking shots) it was excellent and unsettling. I wish he had more control over it but ya gotta work with the house of mouse and it was still one of the darkest and most uncomfortable part of the MCU for me thus far and I'm a big horror nerd too

[@whatalsaid]

*SPOILER ALERT* All the heroes that have been teased to be in this movie DO appear, and Wanda kills ALL of them. Also, I don't think Wanda is really dead. The Scarlet Witch is at the height of her MCU popularity, and I don't think they would kill her off that quickly. Plus, Elizabeth Olsen just renewed her contract, so she's probably gonna return in the near future. Also, if she ever does a reunion with Monica, it's gonna be HELLA Awkward. "Hey, bestie. SO, I met your mom in an alternate universe, but unfortunately, I did kill her"

I will say, I related to Strange a lot more in this, and his little grappling with whether he’s even qualified to play hero in this or any scenario, is really well handled in my opinion. At one point he says “all of us are the same” and that’s kind of… tough to swallow when all the other Stranges out there are pretty awful when it comes down to it. Hoping our Stephen is gonna take this Wanda nonsense into account and change his own ways.

The factor is the target demo. If it was rated R that cuts out a huge chunk of the audience that would see this film. This film is much darker & creepier than a typical Marvel film, but I don't think that equates to horror film.

[@erikahyde723]

I'm so glad someone else shares the same gripe that the dialogue felt a bit, for lack of a better word, clunky at times. Some bits felt forced and empty. When Defender Strange starts to take Americas powers in the Gap Junction, her 'Youre killing me' line felt really trivial and had no feeling in it. I understand that she's shocked that she's being betrayed, but surely you'd be scared af. Like the way she said it almost felt like something from a kids film where the stakes were really low.. I don't know how else to explain it. Also, when Wanda talks to her kids in her 'dream', with the "Family is forever" line, which felt shoehorned in and unnatural. It came out of nowhere and no dialogue from the children seemed to prompt that line from her. But maybe I'm nitpicking? I still thought the film was visually stunning and definitely felt like a real pivotal point for how the rest of the MCU will play out. I lived for the elements of horror and some of the brutal death scenes made me audibly gasp in theatres. All in all, I found it a brilliant film, just thought some parts of dialogue could have been polished a bit more.

@@VylonDelta None of the plotlines with the Dr Strange movie carried through to the second. The one What If video showed you he actually cared about her. He was pretty terrible to her at times in the actual 1st film. Also the Magic in What If fits much more closely as well. The arc in Wandavision was completely inverted and ignored in Dr Strange two and personally ruined the entire movie for me. It was cool seeing Wanda doing what she did but not at the price of all the amazing character work that she did in Wandavision. It would've been perfectly fine if it were an alternate universe version and our Wanda helped out but as is it was probably the biggest step backwards for the MCU since Thor 2. Lastly, Dr Strange was nearly completely inconsequential to the plot.

my thoughts about the movie is its more of like power showcase after wanda vision for wanda to establish that SHE IS THE SCARLET WITCH and how op she is. and for strange, it's more of like a character buildup again and the trending "because tony learns from his mistakes" but it's strange version because he gained the knowledge or the learned from 'his' mistakes by travelling to the other universes. there's literally only a small portion showcasing what strange can do and the only most impressive is when he dreamwalked and used the souls of the damned to boost him up. a definitely character buildup that he can always find loopholes or alternatives to improve his sorcery.

[@dartheternal4078]

Alright, hear me out and please, read the whole thing. I have been a fan of my boy Strange for like 12 years now and as also a huge fan of mcu even with it's flaws, Strange 2 was not especially a good movie and it hurts me. Alright, so.. 1.) America Chavez was a living/breathing mcuffing for Strange and buddies to have a way to move through the Multiverse and she was never created nor used in any media properly than just representation (escpecially in this one) as she never was created as a good character to begin with. 2) Hyping up the most powerful artifact/relic/magical item in all of the Kamar-Taj sorcerers inventory and then just showing it for under a minute before burning it away and forgetting it for the rest of the movie, even tho in the start of the movie it seemed important. As my fellow comic fans know, The Book of the Vishanti is THE opposite thriving force against the Darkhold and literally one the most important things Strange & buddies have in their inventory. 3) Strange in the credits scene, where Clea appears to him, talking him about the incursion and fixing it, not bad BUT the thing that bothers me a lot is that our modern Strange was still connected to the raw chaos magic and power of Chthon, even tho he is supposed to be the exact opposite to Wanda. To be more clear, Wanda is the champion/chosen one of Chthon, whereas Strange is the Vishanti's. Wanda holds the book of Chthon a.k.a the Darkhold, whereas Strange wields it's polar opposite the Book of the Vishanti and of course Oshtur united with her son, Agamotto and her alien-god friend Hoggoth to form the Vishanti against Chthon. 4) Chavez being the only 'her' one in the Multiverse doesn't make sense regarding with SO MANY things in the MCU and the comics. 5) The absolute garbage thing is to hear the writers talk about the MCU as the universe 616 disgusts. The MCU is not the 616 and it never will/shall be. The last point also should be enough to concern you, that if America is the only 'her' in the Multiverse, then how tf she didn't have any original connection to the main cast/events happened in the mcu etc, etc. 6) They never explained what's the thing with the Eye of Agamotto for now. Most likely as we saw it was used like an actual Eye of Agamotto, it still contained the power that Agamotto has made it to have. 7) In the end of the first Strange movie we see Mordo doing the "now I know what's wrong with the world, too many sorcerers" but never see "our" mcu Mordo to begin with after that but all we hear is that he had clashed one or two times with Strange after the first movie. Problem being they told us about it and not showed the action. Overall, even though how hardcore Strange I am and have been for the longest time, this movie had A LOT of big and too overwhelming mistakes that just cannot be overlooked. But as I have witnessed, there are too much blind ppl watching this and forgetting the lore, history, pasing and overall flaws and just calling it clean and perfect from the start. This movie was about a Wanda's story after WandaVision and Multiversal Taxi made manifest taking Strange and buddies through WaCkY aDvEnTuReS through the Multiverse and not a true Strange sequel.

I do wonder what Wanda, Steven and America's reactions would be to me. Probably something ranging between "Jeez Louis, I get that this is just some kind of strange kid-like regular guy, and yet, why is he so intelligent about everything? He seems to know a lot about the world around him and around anything he hyperfixates on before sinking back into his insanity or his cartoons and video games or whatever else he wants to get away from reality with" to "oh... poor kid, adult, whoever this... well, whilst calling him a thing is accurate, he's just way too human to the point where I feel it's insulting, he just feels so many emotions and has to manage them every single day, yeah, I won't mess with him period". Wanda would probably also eventually realize from the hints I give her that she can just chuck this Darkhold at him and he would flee from it and then that's when I would use "her children" to have them tell her to stop. I don't need to use "mind-control" (it's much more like body possession/emotional puppeteering with ghosts) since I know I can just ask them and they would oblige.
