The Official "Dr. Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness" Thread

PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY BREH

He only needs to see it once



But ok

Yup.

That's literally how he learned everything so fast in the first movie. Folks outchea forgetting the foundation of the character...

 

[The Mad Titan]

Things I liked about the movie

• Cinematography
• Wanda acting
• recalls to older movies, characters and things
  
  
  Things I didn't like about the movie
  
  
• Plot
• Fluctuating power levels especially of wanda and Strange
• Great value illuminati
  
• Everyone else's outfit outside of Strange, Wanda and Mordo

The illuminati getting washed by wanda but especially so the males. Reed the smartest man on any world jumps head 1st into battle, Blackbolt forgetting how his powers work and the fact he can actually channel it through his body as well. Charles getting his necked snapped in the astral planes by Wanda with no epic battle at all. But enhanced Peggy throwing blows with her and Photon go back and forth with her, though she just rearranged two whole other people on a molecular level..

• The hall chance scene were they are all running when strange and wanda can both fly, as if reg old doors can stop either one of them.
• Shuma gorath being a chump and mini boss
• Chasing the BOV only to never get to use it at all
• Wanda getting worked by ghost she's has a whole book of damned
• Strange sleep walking into a dead body (literally makes no sense in context of how it was explained)
• Strange ex fighting off spirits with her bare hand and then blowing them up with magic fire
• Wanda needing to go through a whole ritual to take her powers at the end instead of just sucking them out like everyone has been trying to do all movie giving zombie strange enough time to arrive
  
• Wanda "killing" herself and somehow destroying EVERY book in all realities, but didn't even realize the book she had wasn't an original

I'm stop here the more I think about it he more and more I remember how bad it was.




But people are overlooking this because it had gore and was horror.


If this would have lacked both those things this movie would be getting much more hate.

• Wanda "killing" herself and somehow destroying EVERY book in all realities, but didn't even realize the book she had wasn't an original

so in 616 the book is just a copy of carvings in a temple….

…but in EVERY other reality its the book…only the book

AND in her death she had the ability to locate the book in all universes, and destroy the book, which is a MASSIVE boost of multiversal power we have never seen thus far probably the most powerful thing we’ve seen.

The mistake of the movie is not putting more of an emphasis on the cameos....and should have chosen better cameos

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

they only got everything right about nonway home because Sony dont keep a tight ship

Elizabeth Olsen did her thing.
her and her scenes actually mattered and built her character.
The America Chavez actor was mid at best.

Spoiler

It also was wasted since she was the damsel in distress and just screamed in fear/pain a lot of the time.

I'm finding that Benedict doesn't really have chemistry with anyone. Even his banter with Wong in the movie seems so paint by the numbers. He seemed okay with Tom Holland in NWH but it still seemed off. I don't think he's good at playing off these characters.

He always seems to be in a different movie. Infinity War was the closest he got to good chemistry with the other cast.

this movie was as much a sequel to Wandavision and What If as it was a sequel to Doctor Strange, and that's not sitting well with me. Maybe if Wandavision didn't JUST happen and it wasn't such a phenomenon b/c we were covid starved for MCU content it wouldn't have bothered me as much, but it still felt very "i just fukkin watched this" throughout the movie. And on the flip of that, we just saw Strange have a huge part in No Way Home and for some reason his stuff didn't make me feel like we've seen too much Strange. strange indeed.

and now the "leaker" people online are saying there's gonna be a Scarlett Witch movie. We definitely need more of Wanda looking for whiney little kids and shooting red shyt from her fingers. definitely a lot more to pull from there... even if that's the first Mutant movie, and she brings all the Xmen in, we're still talking about a good hour of "my boyssssss"

On top of that it didn't really add to anything, it was like a filler movie, at least the rest of the movies this phase have added multiple things to the 616 universe to make it seems like it's growing.

This movie really only "killed" wanda and gave them miss america.

NOW the only saving grace I can think off of the top of my head that was introduced in this movie is a incursion happening and 616 merges with another world with 616 becoming the surviving (or if they want to be really spicy, dying world) and introducing/merging missing characters and whole factions.

I was between full price and matinee on the Double Toasted scale. Slept on it and went with full price. Watching DT and see they gave it high matinee checks out. Time to finally catch some of these reviews and thinkpieces .

Amazing visual spectacle (to be expected), and Wanda and Strange did their mf thing, although woulda been nice to see a lot more reality warping and less “being reasonable”. The Illuminati getting packed out was crazy!

Also heavily fw the less-censored violence, and hope they bring it to 616 characters. They’ve dabbled in the horror/thriller themes very lightly, so nice to see Raimi get to lean into his bag, even tho I’m not as much of a Raimi fan as I was coming up.

Looking forward to seeing the effects of the incursion

So the movie was bad to some folks cuz...there werent enough cameos?

Or not the cameos that "leakers" said would be in it?

 

[Jazzy B.]

but I think strange having to answer to the Illuminati for both his multiverse fukkery in nwh

Marvel don't own the Sony Spiderman movies.

Which means the plot of a Sony Spiderman movie can never be a focal point or have great impact in an actual fully produced Marvel movie.

Meanwhile it's the other way round with the Spiderman movies they react off what happens MCU movies.

 

[Jazzy B.]

Marvel really told us what was going to happen in this movie a year ago

 

[livindajetlife]

Marvel got some real dikk riders.. I fukk with marvel but if something mediocre imma call it out.. some of y’all weird

The cameos turned out to really be just that. Honestly, they weren't even needed in the movie, so since they weren't used t full effect, they could've used that time to develop Miss Macguffin America
