I loved how Wanda moved around like a horror movie villain. Her crawling out of the gong, and then her chasing the group down that underground tunnel were amazing moments.

[@rhodriwilliams2599]

I also loved zombie strange's movements were exactly like a deadite from Evil Dead

John Krasinski being in MoM is unironically the greatest thing to ever happen for this channel’s running jokes.

[@Kango234]

Exactly, when it happened I didn't cheer, I just started laughing thinking of all the comments people leave on their Marvel recaps.

[@PittsburghSonido]

@@Kango234 Same. I was just shaking my head with a huge grin on my face. Lol I actually didn’t want him cast as Reed Richards. But the suit looks good. I just hope they improve his “smartest man alive but gets string cheese’d” character.

[@jcboyle82]

I’m glad you enjoyed it, honestly. I just think he’s a bad choice for Reed. I like Krasinski but watching him in this movie proved to me that he can’t play the smartest man in the room. Just my opinion.

[@PittsburghSonido]

@@jcboyle82 I agree with you. Hopefully they just did this for the fans. I dislike how they cast him for Richards solely based on the duo of him and Blunt plus the fans wanted him. He’s a good actor but they could’ve done better.

[@jcboyle82]

@@PittsburghSonido I love Emily Blunt as Sue. Thats a great choice. But yeah I’m not big on Krasinski. Do you have anyone you’d like to see? I’ve heard Glenn Howerton and William Jackson Harper thrown around and they seem pretty solid.

Him being Mephisto and intentionally getting the Illuminati killed makes more sense than whatever Reed was doing in that scene. Reed is arrogant, but that was just plain dumb.

[@RamenCupBMG]

46:44 I think they were motivated to call it Multiverse of Madness because it spells MOM which is the villain's plot. It even came out mother's day weekend. yea, it got shifted around multiple times but the original release date was also mother's day weekend of last year.

[@DanzNewz]

Came here to see any and all discourse around what I am dubbing #Westworldgate. For context: the Big Sandwich feed version of this episode DOES NOT feature the world famous "Westworld" interruption (or addition, as some may see it) that THE Mr. Sunday Movies is quite popular and known for doing during the regular What We Reading, What We Gonna Read segment. Where as, on this youtube version (presumably a version featuring ad reads, I wouldn't know since I transcended to a higher state of being, well over a year ago, when I kowtowed to Big Sandwich and Big Sandwich's corporate interests and signed up for a reasonable $9 a month- that includes ad free versions of the Weekly Planet podcast and James' less successful [but superior] podcast Suggestible that he does with his wife Claire Tonti [incredible host of the "TONTS" podcast], early access to videos/Caravan of Garbage episodes, and extra podcasts and commentaries exclusive to Big Sandwich) there is a furtive delivery of "Westworld?" contained in it's usual spot at the end of the intro at approximately 01:20:38 of this video. Now, I'm no big city lawyer man person, but it would seem to me that one of two scenarios could have transpired to have created such a discrepancy of Westworld proportions: 1) On the original recording, James was merely so gassed by the time the end of the Doctor Strange review rolled around that he had unintentionally omitted his famous interruption (OR addition!) and Collings, being the hero that he most certainly is, took it upon himself to procure and splice in a previously Westworld'd intro for the normie feed version (no offense intended, I have many friends who are normies) and left the purer Big Sandwich feed version as recorded and Westworldless. Or 2) THERE IS A CONSPIRACY AFOOT!!! I refuse to blame Collings for this error or omission, because honestly how does he do it folks? Ultimately, what I'm saying is this is the biggest scandal or event to happen in at least the last 5 years and should be regarded as such amongst the fanbase and general public. Thank You. p.s. James loses all steam by the end of the Doctor Strange review, continuing through the end of the podcast and yet is no less punchy and honestly I'm here for it. EDIT: Upon closer inspection of the KZbin version I find that the non-Westworld'd intro also appears at 01:19:45 which leads into the extra thought about Doctor Strange and the implications of the future of the MCU and also a moment of "Dog Time" which directly leads into a replaying of the theme, which now MIRACULOUSLY features the fan favorite Westworld interruption (addition, whatever). This replaying of the Westworld'd theme is not featured in the paid feed and instead goes straight from "Dog Time" to James enthusiastically saying "Wow, we're back." I have no idea of what conclusions should be drawn from this omission other than to say my world view is now shattered and we all have some soul searching to do in whether we should support a show with such fluctuant production value. I'll probably just keep paying the $9 a month though, because like... I have to open another tab to cancel it and honestly.... I just can't be bothered.

[@MrTwon1610]

My favourite part of MoM was when they went to the Dark Knight universe, for Heath Ledger's performance alone

[@Geekaylee]

So with the post credits with Clea, was it basically the exact same scene as the post credits for the 90s Super Mario Bros movie?

[@donbirkinshaw1630]

that was not a comparison i was expecting to hear in regards to dr strange and the mario brothers movie but here we are i guess

[@FiggityJones]

Thank you Maso for providing even a slight defense of Reed. I find people often misread his character drastically.

[@OppositeofHATE7]

Always strikes me as someone too smart for their own good. Almost like someone on the spectrum who's a genius at specific things but struggle with simple human interactions. Also, when you have a logical answer for everything, kinda takes away creativity and natural instinct. Often smart people come off as jerks, some just are jerks of course....idk Spock comes to mind

[@skilledwarman]

It's amazing how James and Mason's "what if Kenobi was bad and won't end?" joke just sounds like Picard

[@JacobRavenglass]

4:12 I’m imagining Justin Lin literally drawing lines in the sand as Fast X production gets held up.

[@Lilylaina]

I felt that Wanda was definitely corrupted by the Darkhold. Why would she give up her family at the end of Wandavision for a single town, then turn around and kill so many people to get them back? At the end when she saw the kids scared of her and the other her, she snapped out of it and pulled away from the Darkhold’s influence long enough to destroy it.

[@serdownofhousebad1127]

I loved the part where doctor strange used frozen air to beat up and defeat evil strange

[@eddyk3]

Nah, like you I used to think glass was frozen air. But I learned it's actually made of sand.

[@anthonyvillanueva5226]

Would've loved it had he used Frozen music, but that's just me

[@robbieclark7828]

One thing that disappointed me about Doctor Strange 2 was that I really thought that a big revelation of the story would be that Strange did see 2 outcomes where they beat Thanos, but he deliberately sacrificed Stark instead of himself. I wasn’t totally convinced about Superior Iron Man showing up, but I really thought that it would have been interesting to have Strange go to a universe where the opposite happened and Iron Man is alive because of Doctor Strange’s sacrifice. I legitimately thought that’s where the story was going until the Illuminati scene, and they instead went with the plot that involves the Darkhold. I think maybe the thing that disappointed me temporarily about this movie is that it’s much more self-contained than everybody had hoped. We’re expecting every movie to be an Endgame-level crossover event, but this movie was very much like a Doctor Strange comic book arc. I was looking for more wrap up from Wandavision, No Way Home, Loki and Endgame, and some answers about what was to come with Fantastic Four and Mutants, but by the end of this it’s really just been another adventure in the MCU, which we ought to be fine with. Maybe the ending did a bit of a disservice to Wanda’s story with everybody seeming to move on just like everybody else seemed to do when Vision died, which was really one of Wanda’s points in Wandavision.

[@doomstadt2371]

The movie didn't disappoint you, you disappointed yourself.

[@krishadyn5211]

Good point. Nobody is going to mourn Wanda. She'll only be mentioned as "Hey, wierd that Wanda went evil, hunh?"

[@garethhughes7430]

Felt Wanda had a disservice, but I disagree about putting more in. They HAVE to stand alone, or this whole thing is shit.

[@thingsyoudontseeeverydaywi3471]

When Dr. Strange says "Didn't you guys chart in the 60s?" I took that as him referring to the nickname of The Beatles which was "The Fab Four". I don't think it has anything to do with the MCU F4 having been active in the past like Hank Pym was or anything.

[@0Impeesa]

It's a reference to the actual real band The Fantastic Four, which actually did chart in the 60s. Knowing all of the music trivia was a character trait of Strange from the first movie.

[@eastvandb]

​@@0Impeesa Thank you for directing me to The Fantastic Four. 'The Whole World Is A Stage': kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPai4avfK2kgLM It's actually quite good!

[@liampezzano]

My favorite thing about Dr. Strange is that he is transgressive with the rules of magic. He reads the Darkhold, he sells his soul, he does blood magic. In the Hickman New Avengers he summons an Elder God from the forbidden book to destroy another world. (The Illuminati stop him.) That's what I love about the character. He does the weird evil stuff. They kept that and made it his core trait through all his variants. I love that. That's the essence of the character and they got it.

[@Gotham_Media]

I think Wanda was hilarious, once she woke up from the spell she was in the library in the middle of space and she casually walked out like it was a normal day. She must’ve fought through the rest of the Illuminati. Then she goes home to her sons to be harassed even more 😂.

[@Chord_]

~57:20 Doing my best to say this without spoiling the movie... I think that casting was deliberately done explicitly to get fans to shut up about that casting so when the MCU producers inevitably recast that role for their "proper" MCU movie debut, they can tell fans that they already got their fan-casting out of the way and the fans can be a bit less disappointed.

[@eph6640]

I wasn’t disappointed that Wanda was the villain - that’s exactly what I wanted, esp after WandaVision. I was disappointed that she was such a one-dimensional villain. I guess these movies need a clear-cut good guy-bad guy dynamic, but I think her arc deserved more nuance and tragedy rather than just, mwahahah I’m a bad guy gimme the teenager to murder hahahah!

[@Malky5279]

I'm not sure it wasn't one dimensional but she wasn't just a bad guy. She only ever wanted to be with her kids. I still found that a bit disappointing because it seemed to me that the whole point of Wandavision was that Wanda was dealing with all the grief and loss in her life, her parents, her brother and Vision. Within that imaginary world she created for herself she creates two children who she also loses at the end but she did it voluntarily because she knew the harm she was causing. For her then to go on a killing spree to get a version of these children back seemed to me negate that character development. Now maybe it's explainable because the magic book she was reading corrupts people and it fed her latest loss and gave her a way to get her children back but it felt a bit cheap to spend so much time investing in a character to almost reset them because the plot needs her to be the bad guy now. It would also have made more sense to me if she was looking for a multiverse where her kids are but have lost their mother which surely must exist. Charging into one where their is a version of Wandavision just seemed all kinds of crazy.

[@JellyFilledEmpanada]

@@Malky5279 she's a horrible villian...... even if dr strange never interacted with her when she possesses a her from another universe the children will still fear her clearly getting possessed + red eyes + her leaving her body (and thus their real mom returning) every time they get sick......

I went in as usual having watched no trailers and seeing nothing , absolutely loved it just enough multiverse for me

[@MrJagermeister]

I saw Dr. Strange in IMAX 3D and **HOLY HELL** this is a movie you WANT to see in 3D. The combat uses a lot of spirals and fractals and spinning/twisting/turning camera angles that were all enhanced quite a bit by the extra depth, scale, size, and perspective that 3D brings. I was surprised that it was post-converted and not filmed directly for it because it looked like they had clearly planned out all the shots with 3D in mind. I agree that a good post-conversion can be fine, so long as they PLAN for how the shots are meant to be after 3D is applied, but trust me, Dr. Strange in IMAX 3D is worth the money for the ticket. Seeing it on a massive IMAX screen is obviously the way to go but when it comes home to BluRay, watching it in VR would be awesome too with a massive virtual screen that looks 100 feet wide and they’re basically really expensive active 3D glasses (as opposed to passive glasses that are used in Real3D and IMAX3D films). Anyhow, PLEASE go see Dr. Strange in IMAX 3D while it’s still out; I think AMC is doing it for one more week.

[@TheDelinear]

I'm not going to be able to watch Doctor Strange until it hits streaming, so I used the time I saved by not listening to the spoilers to workshop the joke. I went with the hygiene angle, as I agree with James that this makes more sense. Hope this works better! I was at a restaurant the other day and I dropped my spoon. I picked it up and was debating whether to give it a quick wipe on a napkin or ask for a replacement when suddenly a waiter appeared by my side with a new spoon. When I commented on the speedy service, he said they always carry a spare for hygiene reasons. I assume clumsy customers are always dropping their cutlery, what great service! Later, I was having a drink in the bar when I noticed the same waiter and went to say thanks again for the service. I noticed he had a piece of string sticking out of his trouser fly so I pointed it out to him. "Oh that? well, the management were worried that waiters weren't washing their hands properly after using the bathroom, so for hygiene reasons they make us tie a string around it so that we can pee without having to touch it.", "Oh wow, it must be really awkward to get it back into your trousers afterwards", I remarked, to which he replied, "yeah, that's what the spoon's for."

I took this away as well, 616's Strange must have fought his Mordo already

[@escargoat8552]

I didn't like Doctor Strange before and I liked him even less after the movie. The plight of him not being able to get over his ex-girlfriend feels very misplaced in a movie where the central villain is dealing with actual loss and trauma. If he spent less time fawning over Christine and more time making friends with America then maybe it wouldn't have left such a bad taste in my mouth. With that said, really enjoyed all of the Raimi flourishes and the weirdness that comes with that. The whips, the pans, the zooms et cetera.

I think Mr Fantastic did what was the best thing to do at the moment, she was unbeatable and only reasoning with her could stop her.

I think that an incursion is going to happen that will have 2 or more universes merging into one (like a lot of the big comic events that lead to massive reboots). It'll be a way to have FF and mutants keep an origin similar to the comics but still end up in the MCU 616 universe. Them and maybe other heroes that they haven't introduced yet could be used this way.

I think another reason for the censorship in China is that America Chavez’s two moms are pretty important to her arc in the movie, and she also wears an lgbtq+ pin on her shirt throughout it.

[@CinemaKnight]

I was kinda hoping they'd just randomly put in the version of Doctor Strange from the 1980s Scooby Doo cartoon voiced by Vincent Price. Even just in the background of one of the universes they fell through. I'll add that, even though its like the ultimate fan service moment in every way, I don't know if John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic works for me, at least long term. I kinda read it as (and I could easily be wrong) that he was just the version of Reed Richards in this universe so they could fulfill the fan service, then kill him and move on to the real mainline one. I think Krasinski really only fan-cast as Reed so much because they want him and Emily Blunt to just play themselves as the Fantastic Four I guess, cause he didn't really have much to him. He was fine as "council of nerds guy who gets easily killed" but I can't really see him in a full length Fantastic Four movie, personally.

If you WANT to see time travel vikings , watch Beforeigners on HBO max. Thats the whole premise. It's pretty good. Words like Beforeigner and Timeigrant make it seem like a joke, but its played pretty straight

I have finally entered a universe where James does not say "Westworld" during the "What Are We Reading" jingle. It is glorious!

[@TheAlienGinger]

"You say Westworld and you become the hero. I say it and I become the villain. That doesn't seem fair."

[@legorocketraccoon8297]

Every week I look forward to this podcast only because of James saying Westworld during the what are we reading segment. This time it's not here and I feel betrayed. You have lost a long time fan Mr Sunday Content and I hope you feel ashamed. Edit: Nevermind, it was there. I'm sorry to have doubted you Mr Sunday, I hope by saying it you've brought Maso as much pain as we listeners would've had if it weren't there.

Black Bolt's death will live, rent free, in my head until the day I die. It was so creatively visceral. And even more effective since, a couple of scenes before, we were shown how powerful his voice was. This is far from my favorite MCU movie (I still enjoyed it tho) but I must admit there are a few things it just did perfectly and anything horror related it nailed.

[@fullmetalb5241]

I agree completely. My small nitpick is they say how he could obliterate someone with a whisper but then shows him talking repeatedly at Dr strange and it takes several words and a louder and louder voice to kill him....just seemed odd lol.

[@charliestephens4686]

@@fullmetalb5241 I definitely took that as him whispering once, and it growing in power. Not him opening his mouth multiple times

[@charliestephens4686]

If Wanda got any comeuppance for that, at all, I might be closer to agreeing with you. But she did terrible things and just got to essentially walk off into the sunset, without apologizing or even acknowledging that what she did was wrong. She wasn’t even sad about what she did, she was sad that she wouldn’t get her way.

[@fullmetalb5241]

@@charliestephens4686 when did wanda walk off into the sunset? Is that slang for collapsed a mountain on top of herself?

[@charliestephens4686]

@@fullmetalb5241 Yes, because there was no confirmation that she died and even if she did, that’s not adequate to make up for the evil things that she did. Especially since she never acknowledged that what she did was wrong, and neither did anyone else in the movie or show

It's taken about a decade but James finally found his catchphrase "that's what the spoons for"

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Some sort of magical sorcery is happening here because I seem to recall there being no "Westworld" in the Big Sandwich version 🤔

[@mythicpeyote]

I took a dub of gold cap mushrooms and peaked right when the Illuminati’s murder scene happened. It was Traumatizing as hell! In my opinion this movie is a hard R and the best marvel movie of phase 4, I’m so glad Kevin feige let Sam raimi have so much creative direction in this movie

[@CobraJayOfficial]

The trailers made it seem like strange was going to have to deal with the consequences of his actions in NWH, but in the movie, Strange going on another multiversal adventure is kinda just coincidental

[@clintmcbride7830]

I think that the movie was good but not great. Most of my beef was with the writing and pacing. I didn't mind the character of America but her dynamic with Strange seemed forced and I feel it should have been flushed out more. And I felt that her story would have had more impact if she was less goofy. Her back story could have had more emotional impact. I also disliked how Wong was sidelined and how we barely saw the multiverse. I don't care about seeing a bunch of different universes for the cameos, but more for the creative visual stuff they could have done. It just felt underutilized. Overall I enjoyed the movie but there were just a few things that prevented it from being AMAZING in my opinion.

[@R_A120]

Damn good job for getting Joel Edgerton on the podcast guys

[@chrissparkes6497]

This is the second time this week I’ve seen strange and America teaming up

[@otrenigmaandy7443]

1:43:08 you guys should watch Brooklyn 9-9

[@MJ-zl3vo]

I think I was a little underwhelmed by the lack of multiverse stuff. But upon thinking about it more, if it was just cameo city, I would probably like the movie less. I remember when this movie was announced, I was nervous about it just bring cameos and nothing else. I'm glad there is a healthy balance of the two

[@artemislogic5252]

thor will probably be better

keen to hear more about mr sunday movies beef with the mason family

[@naughtysauce4323]

42:21 You can tell these guys never watched Kung Fu Hustle because the "musical" fight scene was straight up inspired by that movie.

[@eastvandb]

At approximately 1:42 I am typing to say that I knew instantly the joke James was referring to. I remember hearing it in high-school. The guy who told it, told it well and I laughed, but it is one of those jokes where the premise is so laboured and stupid that I support James' reaction with all my being.

[@eastvandb]

And having now listened to James' experience of the joke, when I was told it, the rationale was definitely hygiene. "I don't know about the others, sir, but I use my spoon."

[@sauloleao6169]

Yes James, I do know what you mean

[@spartanB0292]

I felt like it could have been a lot better with relatively little effort, but still enjoyed it.

[@jeanshortswag]

I actually know the spoon joke James mentioned at the beginning lmao

[@jaimeee744]

I had assumed that Blackagar Boltagon was a joke like Robbat Battinbat up until this movie.

[@philcorrigan5641]

I thought it was pretty clear that Wanda had been corrupted by the Darkhold. The post credits of WandaVision showed that process starting, and so by the time we get to MoM the Wanda we see has basically been mainlining pure evil for several months. The Darkhold had a similar corrupting influence on the 838 Strange and the third eye Strange (with 616 Strange now also corrupted) but the difference with Wanda is that she is *much* more powerful, and so a far greater multiversal threat.

[@Taurusus]

MCU is Earth-19999. 616 Strange is (currently) dead but I don't follow the comics enough to know what his relationship with the Darkhold is/was so I don't know if what you said is actually incorrect.
