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

[AllHolosEve]

-Just took the time to finish reading the thread. It's somehow not surprising that most complaints are about the movie not including shyt nobody ever said it would. How are you really mad at the movie for not having cameos, scenes & a story you & some other random mothafukkas made up in their own head?

-Anyways, the shyt is one of the better Marvel movies. Wanda came through playing zero games & Olsen played the hell out that shyt, one of my favorite MCU characters now. I'm actually a fan of shyt where the hero has to outwit the villain since they know they can't beat them. When it hits stores I'm buying it.

There is NOTHING special about this film. I’m actually surprised at how much praise it’s getting in this thread.

The storyline is a variation of the same fairytale we’ve seen told a million times already. Kid gets his perfect life uprooted by a traitor who kills his father so the kid goes into banishment to spend his life working towards getting his vengeance. At this point, this revenge fairytale has been told more than the save the captured beauty fairytale. This mid storyline (and yes, the “twist” didn’t make it rise above mid levels) is backed by weak writing. Which I’m ok with when it comes to fairytales/folklore/action flicks just pointing out that the writing doesn’t elevate the movie either. Everything just…happens…cuz it needed to happen to fulfill the folklore. Lamed out by not using subtitles; everyone just knows how to speak English, even the low born slaves from far away lands. Kinda glad they did, cuz this movie ain’t worth reading subtitles throughout, but this is the kind of movie that if they did use subtitles and someone came in here complaining, everyone would be lambasting that person talking about how the subtitles were necessary to keep the movie’s authentic feel. Instead they reserved the non-English speaking to chants, songs, and random unimportant conversations.

The movie does have good aesthetics, but it’s really on par for what you’d expect out of Hollywood budget movie in 2022. There was nothing they did that could be considered a leap in terms of advancement in cinematography. No special shot, no special angle, no special lighting, or some other technique.

The only reason I could think that someone would be really wowed by this movie is if they’re obsessed/intrigued by CaC barbarism. It gave some glimpses into their barbaric lifestyles that I could see some people enjoying since you don’t often see those presented on screen that much with such a big budget behind it. I wouldn’t even feel comfortable recommending this movie unless it was to someone I knew really liked seeing stories from that time period.

This post was about The Northman, how’d it end up in this thread?

They merged the threads by accident. I know cause I got done watching the Northman and went into the thread and caught all the Dr. Strange spoilers.

Only thing I hope in the future is that Dr. Doom's magic doesn't look like Dr. Strange, Wong, their whole magic whatever. I don't know why but I just don't like the vfx. I know Wanda's is different so theirs hope.

Nah. I don't like the idea of Wanda soloing everyone for pandering points and some dudes can pretend to be onboard so they don't get called incels.

Once again she couldn't beat Thanos but in less than a couple of years she's a multiversal threat all her own? fukk outta here. They needed time to build that up not shoehorn her in as this all powerful threat which basically defeats herself in the end.

Glad they didn't waste Mordo on her.

Yeah we didn’t need her killing mordo though

People keep forgetting that Wanda powers were amped up because of the Darkhold. She was already powerful enough to have Thanos scream "Rain fire!"...with the Darkhold she was channeling some even darker shyt. She was powerful enough to literally mindcontrol and manipulate reality over a whole town. The whole point of WandaVision was to show her grow stronger than when she was in Endgame.

Man fukk the Darkhold. I hate those evil MacGuffins. I don't really have an issue with her powers in Wandavision; controlling a town like that reminds me of something Loki would do if he were still evil. My issue is with her being able to curbstomp everyone. That's not even interesting. People fighting her to a stalemate and slowly realizing what they are dealing with is much more interesting. That sort of power could be built towards in a second film in which Mordo is trying to gain America's powers and the split comes from Strange not allowing her to save her children from a dying universe in which they are orphaned. And instead of trying to kill Chavez and take her powers like a villain (i.e. Mordo) she would just possess her and try to find another crap sack world where she could pluck her children without depriving another Wanda/Vision. The consequences from that would bring her into conflict with Strange organically without a scary MacGuffin controlling her or some bullshyt.

Just finished this and No Way Home. Two really good Phase 4 films and no surprise being the two most established franchises and characters. I'll check out Love & Thunder in September.

I definitely enjoyed the horror take in this one.

Wanda going full Mommy Dearest was highly entertaining and Rachel McAdams is always the perfect love interest. America Chavez is a solid building block as well.
