Marvel seems to going all-in with multiversal storylines in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with a title like Multiverse of Madness, the Doctor Strange sequel promised to bring us through some really wild alternate realities. And it did exactly that- for a few minutes!
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness definitely raises a few questions. Like what happened to all of Wanda’s character progression from Wandavision? Has she stopped caring about Vision? Did Reed Richards, the smartest man in the universe, really need to tell Wanda exactly how to kill Black Bolt? Are two Stranges throwing music notes at each other? Does believing in yourself really solve everything?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Part of the problem is that the very idea of the multiverse is unimaginably vast. For example, if there are an infinite number of universes then it could take an infinite amount of time to actually find the universe you want. Wanda could literally sift through an infinite number of universes where her children don't exist at all before she finds one where they do exist. There could be an infinite number of universes where Wanda doesn't exist an infinite number of universes where humans don't exist, an infinite number of universes where there's no life on earth, etc.

The inconsistent use of all the sorcerers' powers, especially Wong's and Strange's, was infuriating. Strange literally demonstrated he could wave his hand and chop off the tentacles of that eyeball creature and its like, "Yes, that's easy and effective, now do it more and poke out its eye, too." Wong is falling off a Cliffside helpless while he demonstrated earlier he can create portals midair and save himself easy. Also Wong helping Scarlett witch despite one of his own sacrificing themselves to destroy the book is horrible writing. The temple attack by the witch was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Scarlett Witch was made out to be way too strong. At first I'm thinking the book made her stronger, but it didn't seem to do that for the corrupted dr. Strange as he couldn't save himself from a 15-second process of getting impaled. Just stupid. Dr. Strange can literally trap people in alternative dimensions where they fall powerless continuously as he did in Ragnorak, and he never did that to Witch or even used his portals to escape from her with America. Just baaaaad.

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

Yup, the power scaling or abilities were dumbfounded. It was mainly used as a convenience to drive the story forward. Neither Strange or Wanda's power are ever fully explained, and it bugs me how Strange is so OP with so many abilities, yet they make him extremely inferior to Wanda.

[@athath2010]

Minor nitpick: The reason why Wong couldn't just sling ring to save himself *was* actually established earlier, when he told Wanda that the Darkhold's temple prevents the usage of sling rings within a certain radius of it (which is why Wanda had to drag him over there manually once he teleported them as close as he could).

[@Crusader2012]

The writing in this movie was dreadful lol. Raimi deserved better.

[@ablox1166]

Very accurate pitch meeting lol. My biggest questions/concerns from the movie were this: How is Wanda existing in other realities with her made up children anyway? They weren't born biologically. Why doesn't she search for Vision, who is actually real? Also, I think the plot would have been 10x more consistent with Wanda Vision if they had the Darkhold messing with her mind and led her to believe that her kids existed in another universe and were in danger (which we were led to believe at the end of Wanda Vision as they scream "Mom, Help!") I didn't like how they made her a sadistic, bat-shit crazy lunatic who will kill just to see her kids. They already had a mom in their universes, they weren't in any danger so there was no urgency. The writers dropped the ball on that big time.

[@Astraeus..]

The kids were only "made up" in the main MCU universe. The other universes Wanda's had actual children. As for the rest, yes, agreed entirely. She basically went from "I made a mistake, but I'm working through my issues" at the end of WandaVision to "I'm going to steal the kids from another Wanda in another Universe, and I'll just brutally murder literally anyone who tries to stop me" Like they completely disregarded any of the actual character growth that happened through WandaVision and turned her into a 1-dimensional villain. The worst part is that the whole reason they did this to her is quite likely just because she has gotten so powerful that it would make writing her in to future Avengers/team-up movies kind of difficult, but even then they could have done something other than trashing her character and then killing her off..

[@btr1011]

[@pauldavidartistclub6723]

That’s been true of most of the MCU, and throw in most popular movies of the last 20 to 30 years (or dating even back to the mid 1980’s). The general audience’s critical faculties have disappeared, fans of pop culture content have taken over, and most current critics/reviewers have no gravitas (or again: good critical faculties), which coupled with the lack of strength they once had (yes, they were once important cogs in culture), we are where we are. To look at Rotten Tomatoes numbers you’d think nearly every film release is good to great! That then gets transferred to Wikipedia, so for as long as it lasts, people looking up this era’s movies will think that most every rotten piece of trash was really of high quality. Really sad. Long gone are the days when even pictures like Doctor Zhivago and The Sound of Music were largely trashed (even if ending up making more money than most films in history…but those were unusual exceptions to the rule that pictures that had mediocre reviews were not hits. Alien from a decade later was the same, a hit that was bombed. Today that’s not all the case of course). Video series like Pitch Meeting, Everything Wrong With…, and Honest Trailers should help cause the popularity of the kinds of movies they review and take down lose their caché (even if that’s not the actual intent of these video makers….I would hope it is, but who knows), but no one really cares if movies and tv series make sense or not nowadays.

It is the same thing as a person breaking the multiverse for an invisible friend they made up as a kid, except my hypothetic situation, there would probably be a vast amount of time spent with the figments during childhood, as opposed to her tiny stint.

There has to be some version of Wanda's children living awful lives with no one to take care of them. America was one pep talk away from being able to use her abilities.

And sure, something might happen where they get sick or something, but she has the ability to send messages across the multiverse, had she made America her bestie, if anything happened, she could have just messaged America and gotten help. That book must have made her stupid evil because there were so many better ways to do this than killing a kid and another version of yourself.

You’ve actually hit the nail on the head here. They introduced the Darkhold in the Agents of Shield TV series, and it is a book that basically reads you back. It then tells you how you can achieve your highest goals and meet your deepest desires so that you are seduced by it completely, but the outcome is always disaster and death. And even when you see that those you love are being hurt and dying, you justify it and keep on doing what the book says. So yes, stupid evil.

[@jexe.4821]

​@@risky_busine55 I feel like Wanda didn't really 'give up her family' till she got fucking caught and Agatha and SWORD started fucking shit up in Westview. There is an active period of time where Wanda knew what she was doing, knew she was hurting people (pretty sure vision literally told her that the people of Westview were suffering) and the mf literally kept going. Again it wasn't until Agatha and SWORD entered the picture that Wanda reluctantly decided to set the people of Westview free and even then she refused to face recompenses for her crimes and up and left to go read a book she knows is fucking evil (potentially the most evil shit in the universe) in a desperate attempt to find anyway (moral or immoral) she could get her family back without being caught/stopped. So yeah I guess we interpreted the ending of WV different but to me Wanda was already waaaaaay gone after she knowingly hid all the children of Westview in a basement and tortured the adult population.

[@risky_busine55]

@@jexe.4821 Saying she knew what she was doing is a bit of a stretch, especially given how she reacted to what vision was saying and how she reacted later, if anything it seemed way more like she didn't realise quite how bad it was for the people in westview because she both didn't actually understand the extent of what happened until Agatha straight up explains it to her, and even then doesn't actually believe her and when vision brings it up because it goes against what she already thinks she did. When she is confronted with actual evidence that is hurting people it hits her like a ton of bricks and she has to process it (because ofc she's gonna need time to process the idea of killing the only people she has left) before she can fix what she did (at which point she does and in the process sacrifices the family that's all she has left). it's a portrayal of grief and how that can cause you to hurt the people around you even if you don't realise it and also how focusing on your own grief at the expense of others can lead to harm you never meant, that's like the whole point of the story, it's about how people who are hurt and don't have the ability to deal with it can end up lashing out whether they mean to or not and if you're gonna say that she only took down thehex cuz she 'got caught' that's also kinda bullshit cuz by the time she took down the hex she'd already beaten Agatha and sword so what were either of them going to do? Also she'd known about sword for ages by that point so saying she only stopped cuz of sword and Agatha makes no sense unless you're talking about how Agatha revealed what the extent of Wanda's spell was. Now for the darkhold: Wanda knows very little about the book, she knows that Agatha read the book and that Agatha knows about all this scarlet witch stuff ergo it makes way more sense that Wanda wanted the book to figure out what the fuck is up with all this scarlet witch shit. If you're gonna say there's little consequence for her sure I'll grant you that the MCU in general has had very little consequence for its heroes, iron man was literally an arm's dealer responsible for the deaths of thousands, created Ultron who killed a bunch more people, and sure you can talk all you want about the ppl he's saved but that's not the same as accountability. You could argue that Wanda would want to find her family in another universe at this point, but like not only does that completely undercut the whole grief arc in wandavision, but it's also like not an explanation for her deciding to kill just everyone when she can literally just send this kid a message saying "hey can u help me find a universe where my kids and husband are alive so i can be with them? Idk I just feel like ppl really wanna see Wanda as crazy or a villain because she appears that way in a bunch of comic appearances but the legwork to her her there just hasn't been done, not to mention it still doesn't change the fact that she's the most flatly written character in the movie

[@jexe.4821]

@@risky_busine55 yeah I guess I understand where you're coming from. I agree that WandaVision was about greif, but I really just think that greif drove wanda insane - or at a bare minimum made her easily manipulable, first by Agatha and then by the darkold. If you were a massive fan of wandavision I understand why Wanda being just so comically evil in DS2 might be frustrating, but I think it works well enough for the purpose for the story, and semed to me the logical next step after WV ended with her alone in a cabin reading a book of unsightly evil. I also would have liked a more in depth exploration of wanda in DS2 aswell, but I don't think wanda being the villan was inconsistent, just poorly built up to. Man that film needed more runtime.

Even if Black Bold managed to attack it would have likely made no difference to the outcome of that "fight".

@@akselmani stephen already told them she was coming and that she was a problem. you dont have to be a genius to not reveal to any opponent a single word, pun intended, about your strategy. heck it would have been a better scene if they just let him scream at her and she manages it skillfully anyway.

@@Darkness-ie2yl And they have 0 reasons to believe anything Dr. Strange says. Also, the issue with smart people is that they get complacent and arrogant. He was trying to avoid the conflict with a threat but he couldn't have imagined they are dealing with a top shelf near god level power. If she skillfully avoided the attack there wouldn't have been a great one-liner - you can't have both.

There has never been a more accurate pitch meeting that perfectly encapsulated my issues with the entire movie. Excellent job Ryan

[@SirSpitsAlotable]

Except a bunch of what he said in this pitch meeting was wrong.

[@nicholasho1595]

He forgot that main Mordo has apparently been trying to kill Strange, but we never see any of it.

[@kari2570]

I was hoping he'd make a joke about not having a clue what's happening in Dr Strange 2 if you didn't watch a tv show about Wanda. That was one of my biggest complaints, I don't watch the tv shows.

[@poisonpotato1]

@@kari2570 the only thing the wanda TV show explained was that Wanda was going to be evil. And that was at the very end of the show. You didn't miss much

[@mrandursun]

@@poisonpotato1 I mean it also introduced her kids, which are kind of a big plot point here.

[@CarlosPerez-dh1zv]

3:06 "I feel that it's weird that the smartest man in the universe told her exactly how to kill him". Best one liner jajaja

In summary, "Hey, shut up."

[@ThoughtsAreReal]

God, Ryan. I have a male body but I may want to bear your children. OMG.

[@Irishfatboy]

“And what about captain Carter?” “50% off.” “That’s a pretty good deal.”

[@joshnstine748]

“Hey, shut up” is a hilarious escalation of “I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back…” and I hope it becomes a new (occasional) catchphrase

[@Anderson_Se7en]

Also, what was Black Bolt’s “non-mouth” made of that the sound waves that can destroy flesh and bone bounced off it and into his own brain?
