@@menotyou8369 lmao not really marvel isn't bad now just 50/50 or so each movie now , NWH , GOTG3 , SHANG CHI , DEADPOOL all really good movies yet this film still stands out for the originality of the director. Also it had genre of film in this one from rom com to horror and scifi.
I agree with you it extremely underrated because the first Doctor Strange movie I didn’t really care for it seemed more science base than it was hard, which is what I didn’t like it. I love Multiverse of madness, way way more, and I love the scarlet witch and the horror aspects made it great for me with a huge horror fan
Originally this was supposed to come out before No Way Home. America was supposed to open the portals instead of Ned. But Marvel shuffled the release order due to Covid.
After splashing him with some sort of goop of course 🤣🤣🤣 Bruce 3 Stooging himself is one of Sam's favorite things (and Sam's enjoyment of it is one of mine 😅)
This is one of my favorite MCU movies. Sam is just Raimi'ing it up, and I love it. I swear, when zombie Strange's eyes open in the shadows, I think the film stock changes to look like one of the Evil Deads.
@@kaiielleRight the second time Patrick stewart gets murdered by raging redheads who killed their own boyfriends like ladies for Godsake get some therapy!
The commercial breaks in Wandavision were, apparently, originally supposed to be attempts by Strange to connect to her from outside the Hex. He would then have also shown up in the final end credits scene, linking to this movie. Unfortunately, COVID happened and the final episode of Wandavision had to be modified to fit the new conditions. I'm not sure where Cumberbatch was when all that started happening, but I wouldn't be surprised if he just wasn't anywhere that made filming those tiny scenes worth the effort. Even the scenes closing out Darcy's part in the story had to be replaced with "have fun in prison" because Kat Dennings was stuck in New York.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness pays tribute to classic horror and supernatural films like Carrie, IT, Twilight Zone, The Exorcist, The Ring, Drag Me To Hell, Shining, The Mist, The Grudge 2, The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II Army of Darkness, and Day Of The Dead. I love seeing Sam Raimi's 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 in all his movies. I also like a nod to The Matrix in this film. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showcases Raimi's distinctive style flawlessly. With its exaggerated horror elements, rapid editing, and lively camera movements, it pays homage to his legendary body of work. I was excited to hear the theme from X-Men: The Animated Series (TV Series 1992-1997) in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The musical showdown between Doctor Strange and Sinister Strange was genuinely outstanding. While traveling through the Multiverse, Doctor Strange, and America, Chavez briefly saw The Living Tribunal. Another thing I really liked was the music in this movie. The Scarlet Witch is a complicated and morally ambiguous character. In general, I really enjoyed this film. I've been a fan of Scarlet Witch since 1990. Since 1995, I've been a fan of Doctor Strange.
People keep getting mad at how they treated Reed Richard’s in the scarlet witch scene, but people also don’t understand the difference between being the smartest man and being a wise man he may be smart with stuff doesn’t mean that he’s actually wise
I love when people say that this movie as horror vibes and dont realize that the director is the legendary Sam Rami that loves horror movies. Seeing Bruce Campbell in this movie is the best cameo, he and Sam Rami have a long relationship in working together since 1981 when it all started with "The Evil Dead". And btw Charlize Theron character is Clea she is Doctor Strage wife in the comics.
I got emotional during the Wanda and her kids scenes. Loved this film, everything worked for me (except for the needless trope pause while running from zombie Wanda).
Originally Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness was going to come out in October 2021 and Spider-Man No Way Home in December 2021. If you watch Multiverse of Madness first and then No Way Home that line Strange says: “In the grand calculus of the multiverse, their sacrifice means infinitely more than their lives. makes more sense when Stephen quotes it again in No Way Home.
I'm glad you noticed this is Sinister Strange. A lot of people assume incorrectly that it's the Armani Strange from what if but apparently it's just another bad variant.
The reveal of who's in the Illuminati is pure fan-service, but it was such a thrill being surprised by that the first time. Not only is Captain Carter a live-action version of a What If character, but half the group (i.e. Peggy, Mordo, and Maria Rambeau) were all What-If-style examples of friends of the superheroes we know taking up their mantles in this universe. It was a wonderful surprise seeing Patrick Stewart and Anson Mount reprising their roles from Marvel properties outside the MCU, especially since Anson's time in the Marvel universe was cut short when the Inhumans TV show was (understandably) cancelled. And, when Marvel mentioned/announced bringing the Fantastic Four into the MCU, their was a big push from fans online to cast John Krasinski as Reed Richards, so that casting in this movie was next-level fan-service. ☺🧙♂
This movie gets a lot of hate nowadays and I truly don't understand it. I fucking love it. It's campy, it's silly, but it's creepy and all of that makes it so. Much. Fun.
"Often times happiness is a choice" and sometimes "important" people prevent you from being able to make that choice. But I digress. Very nice reaction and fun movie. Elizabeth Olsen is fantastic in this role and specifically in this movie and the TV series.
Black Bolt is the leader of the Inhumans. When Marvel didn't have the rights to Xmen, they tried to use the Inhumans as stand ins. But now that they own Fox, this may be the last we see of the Inhumans.
The Inhumans were supposed to have a film in Phase 3 of the MCU. They were introduced in the second season of Agents of SHIELD. Eventually the Inhumans movie was cancelled (the negotiations to buy the Fox Franchise were already in the works which - when completed - would give Disney/Marvel the rights to the Mutant characters) and the project re-written to become a short-lived television series as sort of a companion to Agents of SHIELD. Anson Mount played Black Bolt in that TV series as he did here in Multiverse of Madness. It may have been hard to tell exactly if you are not familiar with the character, but his Inhuman ability is his voice can tear people apart at the sub-atomic level - literally disintegrating them. As a result, he can never speak unless he wants to cause death and destruction.
The Inhumans short television series is in no way a companion to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In AoS they never mentioned Atilan or Black Bolt or any of the "main" Inhumans. The Inhumans series never mentioned anything from AoS. I'm of the opinion that the mediocre Inhumans show would have only been improved by making a connection.
I do love this movie, and I'm so glad that they got Sam Raimi to direct it. You really see his experience with the Evil Dead movies paying off here. Plus, you've got to appreciate Bruce Campbell's cameo XD Still, you're one step closer to Loki season 2, and I am very excited for that XD
The hotdog vendor was played by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead and Army of Darkness) who has been in a lot of the director's previous movies. His cameo here and his hand beating him up is a wink toward his character Ash who had his hand possessed by the Necronomicon in Evil Dead 2. He had to cut off the hand and replace it with a chainsaw.
I've seen this film a couple of times since it released and I've yet to decide if I like it or not. I'm certainly not a fan of a lot of elements, but can't deny the fun and novelty of others. It's that common Curb Your Enthusiam gif with Larry looking very torn.
Mordo was in the first dr strange film. He rescued him from the robbers and took him to the ancient one. He ended up turning bad by the end credit scene
The film never mentions it, but Sam Rami confirmed that Doctor Strange, who died at the beginning of the film, was Defender Strange From Earth-617. In the comics, Earth-617 diverged from Mainline Earth-616 whenever Spider-Gwen of Earth-65 encountered her mainline counterpart, resulting in a new timeline in which Gwen was prevented from being thrown off the George Washington by Green Goblin. Maybe not the same Strange from those comics, Mainline MCU is referred to as Earth-616 which is also the designation for the Mainline Marvel Comics. So it could be the matter of differant groups having their own designation system, similar to how humanity has many differant calendars. Earth-838, the home of the "Illuminati", was astonishing. New York looked like a high-tech Utopia, maybe a reality that benefited from great minds such as Reed Richards and Tony Stark. The Ultron project worked, so the Age of Ultron never happened, and Tony got his army of Ultron Bots. Reed Richards created the Baxter Foundation, developing all the high-tech equipment you see throughout New York. Thanos was defeated on Titan, so he never made it to Earth; thus, the Snap/Blip never happened. And, of course, the X-Men, Inhumans, Fantastic Four, and Avengers all exist together. It makes you wonder how they'll explain why we've yet to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four within the mainline Earth-616 when they always lived in the history of these other worlds.
This is such a Sam Raimi movie & I'm so here for it!!!!❤ Also, I adore the fact that u didn't even recognize the Bruce cameo & classic Evil Dead call outs!! Which makes me really wanna know if you ever watched those classic horror movies?? I enjoyed this movie so much, but I can see that it may not be for everyone. Great reaction hon!!❤💞❤️
@kaiielle I know u don't like much scary stuff so it might be fun to check out, but they are such a specific type of style I'm not entirely sure u would enjoy them. I personally like the 2nd Evil Dead better than the first & then Army of Darkness kicks up his sense of comedy horror more. There was a ton of call outs to his style in this movie & the hot dog guy was his main star & is known as Ash. Maybe if u have time, just investigate if u wanna give them a chance. I'd hate for u to watch & then feel like u have wasted ur time. ❤️💞❤️
15:07 that's right up there with the fact that we still don't definitively know one way or the other if we're alone in the universe. And how both answers are equally terrifying regardless.
I was hoping that the movie would have set up more in the way of having the expectation that multiverse would become more of a thing in the next Phase. Instead it was just a Dr. Strange story in the multiverse. I was also hoping they would set up the next big bad and start working towards that. But, that didn't exactly work out, in more ways than one - won't say any more. I rated this one a 6/10, only because the buildup from the trailer resulting in disappointment in the movie.
Second credit scene has to do with the 3rd movie in the original Evil Dead franchise; Army of Darkness. It is a serious movie history call back. Just watch all of the original Evil Dead movies and it will all clear up. ;)
To quote Harvey Dent from that franchise who shall not be named in this franchise "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Wanda knows that now unfortunately.
The writer of this movie didn't watch wandavision because it wasn't completely out Elizabeth olsen didn't like portraying wanda as a villain but she did the best acting. Cant guarantee wanda is gone agatha's series is coming i hope she comes back in it
27:57 "Rest in two pieces" would be better line ;-). 35:57 Yes, it is a horror movie, you should watch more movie from Sam Raimi...especially serie Evil dead, then you woul never call second after credits scene silly but funny and groovy. 😀 Sam Raimi is the reason why is this movie good.
The reason The Iluminati underestimated wanda cuz she herself in this universe was literally a normal mom with 2 kids and then boom that normal civilian suddenly had an insane power and experience and destroyed a super hero gang.
I really liked the horror vibes in this one. Sam Raimi putting horror elements in his superhero movies is always a treat. And a Bruce Campbell cameo of course. Try Darkman for an early Sam Raimi superhero flick with Liam Neeson. Sam's Evil Dead trilogy shifts from horror to comedy and is very entertaining also.
I was so excited to see this in theaters and was so upset after. I dislike horror especially ones with fast cut jump scares. The previews didn’t indicate this (not that I watched them) so I went in going for “Dr. Strange vibes” and almost had several panic attacks from the horror elements and gore. It also felt unfair to have to have seen Wandavision one, but also having seen that, felt like a huge escalation for her to become The Big Bad when Sokovia traumatized her in a big way. IDK. It didn’t feel right. Lastly, I felt terrible for America “Plot Device” Chavez who could have been super cool! Just bummed me out. Cool cameos though I guess.
My only real complaint about this movie is it ignored all of Wanda's emotion development from Wandavision. I can fan wank that the Darkhold drove her mad but the movie never addresses that. That said, I love that they included the Illuminati. In the comics, the group includes Tony and T'challa.
It didn't ignore Wanda's development from WandaVision at all, it delved more into her emotional state. She was still broken at the end of WandaVision and she was also unable to move on from her family, as shown in the final scene of WandaVision when she was shown using the DarkHold to look throughout the Multiverse for her kids. And the movie 100% explains it. Strange clearly explains THREE times in M.o.M. about the DarkHold: "I know it corrupts everything and everyone that touches it" -Main Strange "She has the DarkHold and the DarkHold has her". -Main Strange "The DarkHold exacts a heavy toll. Not just on this reality, on its reader" Even in WandaVision, it was clearly explained that the DarkHold corrupted the soul. Both WandaVision and M.o.M. go out of their way explaining the dangers of the DarkHold and the influence it has on those who use it. You just have to pay more attention apparently lol
@@jcIIXVIIIVII See! I knew Wanda was corrupted by the Darkhold, but everyone say that Wanda becomes evil. But I did asked them that Wanda wasn't evil. Also, that Darkhold looks different than the other one from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Season 4.💀🔥⛓️
This certainly was a wild ride, especially in cinema... which brings me to the gripe I have with the current phase of Marvel we're in: the shows. I haven't watched any of them and I'm pretty annoyed the movies also kind of assume you have subscribed to the mouse or whoever to stream them. I preferred this to be a CINEMATIC universe.
When you think about it, has Wanda ever been “good” in the MCU? The window in which she’s fighting with the Avengers is brief and she feels more like an ally than someone motivated by heroic impulses. She’s always been an injured soul, acting out of pain and trauma.
Putting one's life on the line to protect one's friends is heroic. But yes it's true that she is never seen being super altruistic for a complete stranger, but rather for people she's friends with, like Cap, Nat, Clint.
Hi Kaiielle, I enjoyed your reaction to Dr strange multipres of madness. It's good to see familiar faces and characters and That hot dog that guy he was the character who was in all toby's spider man's. Also I just watched Deadpool and Wolverine Movie it was so awesome I can't wait to see your reaction to its Someday channel
I'm not sure if someone else mentioned this already but fun little foreshadowing that Mordo was evil he's wearing Green in a universe where green is stop.
I don't know how often this happens but for some reason this reaction isn't visible in my subscription feed. I got the notification correctly and it even shows up just fine im your list of available videos. Just giving you a heads up.
I managed to go the same route as you for this movie, but I managed to avoid the Scarlet Witch reveal, as well. I went in with "Dr Strange movie. Takes place after "
Blackbolt: leader of the Inhumans (basically their king). Here, he is played by the same actor reprising his role from the short-lived series, The Inhumans. They were literally created in the comics to replace the mutants at a time when Fox studios was making movies with Marvel comics characters. Marvel comics didn't want to give another studio plot ideas, so they stopped writing stories featuring mutant characters, thus the Inhumans were created. The Inhumans comics and the show were not very good. They are very similar to mutants, but they live on the moon...lol.
They were created in the comics in the 1960s long before Fox was making X-Men movies. The concept of them replacing mutants in the MCU was a much more recent thing.
If u watch the loki shows seri3s.. theres a moment when kang said " we just cross the threshold" That same time when wanda start dreamwalking and its not good for the scared timeline it causes incursions
If I'm remembering correctly Danny Elfman gave Sam Rami the idea for the music fight. It's pretty split on people's opinions on that fight. I liked more of it then i didn't.
This movie is a fun ride, and there's nothing wrong with a fun ride. I do prefer a more heartfelt drive like many other MCU films, but this one's fine. It makes a lot of sense to me that evil Dr Strange is possible, especially when considering Stephen's charater before the events of his film change him. The fans are quite divided on this movie, so I'm glad you had an overall positive experience watching. You mentioned Halloween. Im curious, what is Halloween like in Canada? 🔮✨
Speaking in the absolute vaguest terms possible Kang is out of the MCU movies for his real life legal problems. There was a MASSIVE comic con announcement that I'm almost positive will be spoiled online somehow for you who's replacing him earlier today.
This is by far my favorite MCU film, I love that it's so unique and has horror aspects to it. Also everything to do with Wanda I just love, she is mothering in this movie so hard 😭
Wanda was emotionally broken and had gone mad. The faux grief of losing her make believe children was a distraction from the very real grief of losing Vision and her brother. She'd been off in her own world since Visions death.
Her children weren't make believe. They were alive and sentient, although created by magic. They weren't illusions, and variants of them do exist in other universes.
"You break the rules and become a hero, I do it and become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair." Said every villain ever. He broke the rules to save others. She broke them for personal gain. AND murdered innocent people. She's never been a hero.
"she's never been a hero" who saved cap from ultron on the train? who saved nat & okoye from the machines with the blades? who put her own feelings aside to save half the universe by ending her love's life? obviously she's the villain of this movie, the darkhold made her that way n that's the whole point. but to say she's "never" been a hero is objectively wrong
@@apollokickz She's had her moments, but overall when she had a choice between selflessness and selfishness she always chose herself, even if she had to enslave an entire town right down to the children. Fuck Wanda.
This movie takes nearly non-stop crap but I liked it even more than the first. Between Wong being a main character, Zombie Strange, and Wanda going Full Dark Willow (with the Illuminati standing in for Warren), it's an often-hilarious and brilliant spectacle that helps continue the ongoing narrative of the MCU. I swear, these days hating on the MCU is like Hipsters hating on Nickelback (though, Deadpool & Wolverine is liable to shut some of them up...for a while).
@@Arthezius Well, that is certainly one take that you could get from what I said. I have no problem with genuine and thought-out criticism, but knee-jerk complaints without substance hold little water.
I have read a lot of valid criticism of the films/series in the MCU post-Endgame, and a lot of it really fascinates me (and some of it I can resonate with as well). That said, I also can't help but feel like some people out there just have it in their minds that Endgame and before it is the best we're ever going to get and nothing can top it. Having that mindset can definitely make people pick apart a movie/show instead of enjoying it for what it is. I feel like my biggest criticism about Phase 4 is the amount of TV series to get through, which is funny because I have enjoyed a lot of them. It just makes this journey longer and at this point I'm really starting to feel like I'm in km 38 of a marathon and I just want it to be over. And I don't want to feel that way... which is why I'm spacing out these releases a bit more than in the past and also incorporating the non-MCU series into my viewing because they're so different and help me stay excited.
@@kaiielle The MCU has certainly been a bit more "hit-and-miss" since Endgame. Though, how could it not be? That film was the nigh-on perfectly realized and executed culmination of a dozen years and two-dozen films. Some folks lack the perspective to realize that it was a bit of a "reset point" for what comes next and were expecting that level of spectacle from there on. And I'll agree that the TV series are a lot of the issue. That's a ton of stuff to watch, that is a bit of an obligation if you don't want to miss upcoming references and connections. Some of it can certainly feel like a bit of a slog (though I suspect my favourites might differ from others). Anywhoozles, Cheers and Happy Weekend from the East Coast. You're Awesome! 🥃☮❤
Black Bolt is the leader of The Inhumans. You will see him not looking so odd if you watch (the badly written) Inhumans series in doing your non-MCU Marvel series eventually.
@@kaiielle Yeah it was pretty bad. I am a HUGE Inhumans fan from the comics and they really didn't do those characters justice. So much wasted potential with that one.

Earth-838, the home of the "Illuminati", was astonishing. New York looked like a high-tech Utopia, maybe a reality that benefited from great minds such as Reed Richards and Tony Stark. The Ultron project worked, so the Age of Ultron never happened, and Tony got his army of Ultron Bots. Reed Richards created the Baxter Foundation, developing all the high-tech equipment you see throughout New York. Thanos was defeated on Titan, so he never made it to Earth; thus, the Snap/Blip never happened. And, of course, the X-Men, Inhumans, Fantastic Four, and Avengers all exist together. It makes you wonder how they'll explain why we've yet to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four within the mainline Earth-616 when they always lived in the history of these other worlds.
It was confirmed in the subtitles...
@@havok6280 His name correct but his universe designation was never confirmed.
This is such a Sam Raimi movie & I'm so here for it!!!!❤ Also, I adore the fact that u didn't even recognize the Bruce cameo & classic Evil Dead call outs!! Which makes me really wanna know if you ever watched those classic horror movies?? I enjoyed this movie so much, but I can see that it may not be for everyone. Great reaction hon!!❤💞❤️
I haven't!
@kaiielle I know u don't like much scary stuff so it might be fun to check out, but they are such a specific type of style I'm not entirely sure u would enjoy them. I personally like the 2nd Evil Dead better than the first & then Army of Darkness kicks up his sense of comedy horror more. There was a ton of call outs to his style in this movie & the hot dog guy was his main star & is known as Ash. Maybe if u have time, just investigate if u wanna give them a chance. I'd hate for u to watch & then feel like u have wasted ur time. ❤️💞❤️
In the comics, America has a connection to Wanda's boys...
I LOVE this movie! And Raimi is perfect for this!
15:07 that's right up there with the fact that we still don't definitively know one way or the other if we're alone in the universe. And how both answers are equally terrifying regardless.
love the TVA shirt
Sam Raimi took a superhero movie and showed why he's a master of horror.
I was hoping that the movie would have set up more in the way of having the expectation that multiverse would become more of a thing in the next Phase.
Instead it was just a Dr. Strange story in the multiverse.
I was also hoping they would set up the next big bad and start working towards that.
But, that didn't exactly work out, in more ways than one - won't say any more.
I rated this one a 6/10, only because the buildup from the trailer resulting in disappointment in the movie.
[25:30] If you look, real close, at 838 Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet, the Time Stone is missing. Odds are 838 Strange is most likely not actually dead.
This movie is Monster Inc... "give me that kid"
😂😂
The Bruce Campbell part is the best!!
So interesting seeing a Sam Raimi marvel
26:50 Blackbolt (Played by Anson Mount) is from the short lived TV series "Inhumans"
You can either remember Mordo as the bad guy from Serenity, or the good guy from 2012. He is very versatile. ;)
Second credit scene has to do with the 3rd movie in the original Evil Dead franchise; Army of Darkness. It is a serious movie history call back. Just watch all of the original Evil Dead movies and it will all clear up. ;)
To quote Harvey Dent from that franchise who shall not be named in this franchise "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Wanda knows that now unfortunately.
One of the best MCU movies, mostly because it's nothing like anything else
The writer of this movie didn't watch wandavision because it wasn't completely out Elizabeth olsen didn't like portraying wanda as a villain but she did the best acting.
Cant guarantee wanda is gone agatha's series is coming i hope she comes back in it
This one's tons of fun. Raimi cooked as much as possible within the confines of the mcu machine, and Olsen killed it. 4/5 imo
Glad you enjoyed it
Blackbolt is part of the "Inhumans." They have their own t.v. show series in 2017.
27:57 "Rest in two pieces" would be better line ;-). 35:57 Yes, it is a horror movie, you should watch more movie from Sam Raimi...especially serie Evil dead, then you woul never call second after credits scene silly but funny and groovy. 😀 Sam Raimi is the reason why is this movie good.
The reason The Iluminati underestimated wanda cuz she herself in this universe was literally a normal mom with 2 kids and then boom that normal civilian suddenly had an insane power and experience and destroyed a super hero gang.
I really liked the horror vibes in this one. Sam Raimi putting horror elements in his superhero movies is always a treat. And a Bruce Campbell cameo of course.
Try Darkman for an early Sam Raimi superhero flick with Liam Neeson.
Sam's Evil Dead trilogy shifts from horror to comedy and is very entertaining also.
KL HYPE!!!!!!!!
Were about to get a new fantastic four with Pedro Pascal as mr fantastic
Love Pedro... not sure how I feel about him as Reed... time will tell...
I know.
I was so excited to see this in theaters and was so upset after. I dislike horror especially ones with fast cut jump scares. The previews didn’t indicate this (not that I watched them) so I went in going for “Dr. Strange vibes” and almost had several panic attacks from the horror elements and gore.
It also felt unfair to have to have seen Wandavision one, but also having seen that, felt like a huge escalation for her to become The Big Bad when Sokovia traumatized her in a big way. IDK. It didn’t feel right.
Lastly, I felt terrible for America “Plot Device” Chavez who could have been super cool! Just bummed me out. Cool cameos though I guess.
I definitely wasn't expecting the horror element either! While it worked out for me, I can imagine how off-putting that would be for others.
Sam raimi did a good job on this doctor strange it’s bring the horror like when Sam raimi did evil dead
My only real complaint about this movie is it ignored all of Wanda's emotion development from Wandavision. I can fan wank that the Darkhold drove her mad but the movie never addresses that.
That said, I love that they included the Illuminati. In the comics, the group includes Tony and T'challa.
Reed Richards(Mr.Fantastic), Tony Stark(Iron Man), Black Bolt, Charles Xavier, T'challa(Black Panther), Doctor Strange and Namor.
"she's got the darkhold and the darkhold has her"
@@aqua_xcx 💀🔥⛓️
It didn't ignore Wanda's development from WandaVision at all, it delved more into her emotional state. She was still broken at the end of WandaVision and she was also unable to move on from her family, as shown in the final scene of WandaVision when she was shown using the DarkHold to look throughout the Multiverse for her kids.
And the movie 100% explains it. Strange clearly explains THREE times in M.o.M. about the DarkHold:
"I know it corrupts everything and everyone that touches it" -Main Strange
"She has the DarkHold and the DarkHold has her". -Main Strange
"The DarkHold exacts a heavy toll. Not just on this reality, on its reader"
Even in WandaVision, it was clearly explained that the DarkHold corrupted the soul.
Both WandaVision and M.o.M. go out of their way explaining the dangers of the DarkHold and the influence it has on those who use it.
You just have to pay more attention apparently lol
@@jcIIXVIIIVII See! I knew Wanda was corrupted by the Darkhold, but everyone say that Wanda becomes evil. But I did asked them that Wanda wasn't evil. Also, that Darkhold looks different than the other one from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Season 4.💀🔥⛓️
This certainly was a wild ride, especially in cinema... which brings me to the gripe I have with the current phase of Marvel we're in: the shows. I haven't watched any of them and I'm pretty annoyed the movies also kind of assume you have subscribed to the mouse or whoever to stream them. I preferred this to be a CINEMATIC universe.
Black Bolt is from the Inhumans, a series no one on this earth likes, but me.
When you think about it, has Wanda ever been “good” in the MCU? The window in which she’s fighting with the Avengers is brief and she feels more like an ally than someone motivated by heroic impulses. She’s always been an injured soul, acting out of pain and trauma.
Putting one's life on the line to protect one's friends is heroic. But yes it's true that she is never seen being super altruistic for a complete stranger, but rather for people she's friends with, like Cap, Nat, Clint.
Hi Kaiielle, I enjoyed your reaction to Dr strange multipres of madness.
It's good to see familiar faces and characters and That hot dog that guy he was the character who was in all toby's spider man's.
Also I just watched Deadpool and Wolverine Movie it was so awesome I can't wait to see your reaction to its Someday channel
As one of the few reaction channels I know has seen Agent Carter I've been waiting for your reaction to Captain Carter in live action.
Drag Me to Hell is another great Sam Raimi film
I'm not sure if someone else mentioned this already but fun little foreshadowing that Mordo was evil he's wearing Green in a universe where green is stop.
People will appreciate this movie more when the reveal happens. Comic readers know what I’m talking about
Deadpool and wolverine is what multiverse and madness should've been
I don't know how often this happens but for some reason this reaction isn't visible in my subscription feed. I got the notification correctly and it even shows up just fine im your list of available videos. Just giving you a heads up.
Agatha was right about wanda
I managed to go the same route as you for this movie, but I managed to avoid the Scarlet Witch reveal, as well. I went in with "Dr Strange movie. Takes place after "
This movie is such a departure from the norm, but that's what you get when Sam Raimi is involved!!!
Scarlet witch come on Wanda kick their arse brilliant anti hero..
Definitely more of her !
Blackbolt: leader of the Inhumans (basically their king). Here, he is played by the same actor reprising his role from the short-lived series, The Inhumans. They were literally created in the comics to replace the mutants at a time when Fox studios was making movies with Marvel comics characters. Marvel comics didn't want to give another studio plot ideas, so they stopped writing stories featuring mutant characters, thus the Inhumans were created. The Inhumans comics and the show were not very good. They are very similar to mutants, but they live on the moon...lol.
They were created in the comics in the 1960s long before Fox was making X-Men movies. The concept of them replacing mutants in the MCU was a much more recent thing.
I loved the story but did have problems with the over strained vfx companies. I can't wait for America to come back in later phases.
No, Mordo is not He Who Remains. He's not a Conqueror... he is a sorcerer from the first Strange movie.
If u watch the loki shows seri3s.. theres a moment when kang said " we just cross the threshold"
That same time when wanda start dreamwalking and its not good for the scared timeline it causes incursions
If I'm remembering correctly Danny Elfman gave Sam Rami the idea for the music fight. It's pretty split on people's opinions on that fight. I liked more of it then i didn't.
That's not Wanda. That's the Scarlett Witch
I wondered why this movie premiered on Mother’s Day. Until I saw it. 😎
This movie is a fun ride, and there's nothing wrong with a fun ride. I do prefer a more heartfelt drive like many other MCU films, but this one's fine. It makes a lot of sense to me that evil Dr Strange is possible, especially when considering Stephen's charater before the events of his film change him. The fans are quite divided on this movie, so I'm glad you had an overall positive experience watching.
You mentioned Halloween. Im curious, what is Halloween like in Canada? 🔮✨
It depends on where you live in Canada, but in AB and SK it's common to have to wear winter jackets and snowpants underneath your costume. 😅
My understanding is the Agents of SHIELD only had one crossover event with Winter Soldier. I haven't watched the entire series yet myself though.
I love it ends with him.meetunf Clea, the true love of his life.
Speaking in the absolute vaguest terms possible Kang is out of the MCU movies for his real life legal problems. There was a MASSIVE comic con announcement that I'm almost positive will be spoiled online somehow for you who's replacing him earlier today.
This is by far my favorite MCU film, I love that it's so unique and has horror aspects to it. Also everything to do with Wanda I just love, she is mothering in this movie so hard 😭
It’s great isn’t it ?
@@fayesouthall6604 I wept during this movie in the theaters, I've never had that happen before lol
Wanda’s villain arc….chef’s kiss 🤌🏽 Awesome reaction! ❤️
Wanda was emotionally broken and had gone mad. The faux grief of losing her make believe children was a distraction from the very real grief of losing Vision and her brother. She'd been off in her own world since Visions death.
Her children weren't make believe. They were alive and sentient, although created by magic. They weren't illusions, and variants of them do exist in other universes.
thank you for sharing your reaction 🙂
Reed Richards of The Fantastic Office.
"You break the rules and become a hero, I do it and become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair." Said every villain ever. He broke the rules to save others. She broke them for personal gain. AND murdered innocent people. She's never been a hero.
"she's never been a hero" who saved cap from ultron on the train? who saved nat & okoye from the machines with the blades? who put her own feelings aside to save half the universe by ending her love's life? obviously she's the villain of this movie, the darkhold made her that way n that's the whole point. but to say she's "never" been a hero is objectively wrong
@@apollokickz She's had her moments, but overall when she had a choice between selflessness and selfishness she always chose herself, even if she had to enslave an entire town right down to the children. Fuck Wanda.
This movie takes nearly non-stop crap but I liked it even more than the first. Between Wong being a main character, Zombie Strange, and Wanda going Full Dark Willow (with the Illuminati standing in for Warren), it's an often-hilarious and brilliant spectacle that helps continue the ongoing narrative of the MCU. I swear, these days hating on the MCU is like Hipsters hating on Nickelback (though, Deadpool & Wolverine is liable to shut some of them up...for a while).
So, if someone doesn't like something you do, they must be wrong. Got it.
@@Arthezius Well, that is certainly one take that you could get from what I said. I have no problem with genuine and thought-out criticism, but knee-jerk complaints without substance hold little water.
I have read a lot of valid criticism of the films/series in the MCU post-Endgame, and a lot of it really fascinates me (and some of it I can resonate with as well). That said, I also can't help but feel like some people out there just have it in their minds that Endgame and before it is the best we're ever going to get and nothing can top it. Having that mindset can definitely make people pick apart a movie/show instead of enjoying it for what it is.
I feel like my biggest criticism about Phase 4 is the amount of TV series to get through, which is funny because I have enjoyed a lot of them. It just makes this journey longer and at this point I'm really starting to feel like I'm in km 38 of a marathon and I just want it to be over. And I don't want to feel that way... which is why I'm spacing out these releases a bit more than in the past and also incorporating the non-MCU series into my viewing because they're so different and help me stay excited.
@@kaiielle The MCU has certainly been a bit more "hit-and-miss" since Endgame. Though, how could it not be? That film was the nigh-on perfectly realized and executed culmination of a dozen years and two-dozen films. Some folks lack the perspective to realize that it was a bit of a "reset point" for what comes next and were expecting that level of spectacle from there on.
And I'll agree that the TV series are a lot of the issue. That's a ton of stuff to watch, that is a bit of an obligation if you don't want to miss upcoming references and connections. Some of it can certainly feel like a bit of a slog (though I suspect my favourites might differ from others).
Anywhoozles, Cheers and Happy Weekend from the East Coast. You're Awesome! 🥃☮❤
For being the smartest man alive, they really made Reed Richards look like a moron in this.
Couldn't 616 Wanda stay in the 838 reality and raise her boys with her other self, I mean America had two mums
We can't lose a strong avenger like that
Black Bolt is the leader of The Inhumans. You will see him not looking so odd if you watch (the badly written) Inhumans series in doing your non-MCU Marvel series eventually.
People are telling me it's the only show they truly wouldn't mind me skipping. 😂
@@kaiielle Yeah it was pretty bad. I am a HUGE Inhumans fan from the comics and they really didn't do those characters justice. So much wasted potential with that one.
Interesting
I very much appreciate that *America's* superpower is, effectively, being an immigrant. Sam Raimi has heard of subtext, but thinks it's gauche. 💀
48:08 Black Bolt is king of inhumans, same rase of enhanced people just like Sky is, in Agents of SHIELD Season 2
Sam Raimi is the only thing that saved this movie.
The humour of Reed Richards being introduced as the smartest man alive only to end up doing nothing but being an idiot isnt lost on me
This makes me happy
