- So now that I've seen Doctor Strange 2, I can say truthfully that it looked great, it had a great director and great actors. The only thing missing was a great script.

Wanda went full Abby in this movie. She straight up asks Reed Richards, "Is your wife still alive?" "Yes, she is." "Good. Then your children will have someone to raise them." Then she violently murders the guy. Am I, at any point forward, supposed to feel any sort of empathy for her? That's so fucking dark.
Yeah the fact the MCU keeps expecting us to treat her like a hero after Wanda vision and... Whatever the fuck this movie was for her, it's trully stupid
@@gasalpha879 Why do you think they're expecting us to treat her like a hero? They literally turned her into a villain.
Some of us have been burned by comics too long. I just don’t expect her heel turn to be permanent. They’ll variant her into a hero again or something
NO, YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO FEEL EMPATHY FOR HER. THAT'S THE FUCKING TWIST IN HER SELF-JUDGEMENT IN THE END WHEN SHE REALIZES SHE'D GONE FULL KUJO.
Christ, did any of you watch the end of the movie?
The Abby comparison is very valid. They seem to make out as if she is a relatable villain but I just wanted the characters to kick her obnoxious face in. I was annoyed that in the end she ended up killing herself.
What a dreadfully written OP character.
Wanda : “I made mistakes and people were hurt”
Doctor Strange : “I didn’t watch your Disney plus show”
Wanda: neither did I
lmaoo
You should it’s pretty good🍿😗
"I couldn't get through the first 30 minutes."
@@spacewiz163 I heard it's a giant waste of time with a nebulous plot that leaves you with a feeling of "huh, okay that was a thing" at best.
she took out the 2 male illmunatis without taking a single step, but the 2 female ones she has to fight...
weird, isn't it ?
A bit odd, innit mate?
the wahmen are stronger
they all died in the end
@@radtugzz4953 Finally, everyone is equally dead.
Sometimes you guys get way to much in to it. Xavier was fighting her too. A mind fight litterly
I like how she basically disintegrates the two men but then there has to be an actual fight for the women. I feel like they're trying to tell me something...
Maybe because big cinema corporations such as Marvel's portrayal of "gender equality" is men are complete useless beings because women can do everything men can do and possibly do it better? Who knows!
I thought the same
Female supremacy undertones, also added to the fact how she straight up mocked the father (mr fantastic) by saying that at least they’ll still have someone to take care of them after she asked where his kid’s mom was. Implying that the father isn’t needed to take care of kids and raise them cause “mom knows best”
Funny thing is that black bolt and Reed richards are more powerful then those females
This scene made me hate this movie very much. No way Professor X would get killed so easily smh
It was really cool when America is told to urgently cover all the reflections in the room and she starts covering puddles but then stops to look really closely at a puddle.
It's like they forgot that their eyes are equally reflective surfaces too... could you imagine THAT scene? Scarlett Witch crawling out of one of their eyeballs?
That part really annoyed me, like gurl what are u doing, cover the puddle and move on
Similarly to how they’re all running from her in the sewers, Wanda blasting every door that gets in her way…until they decide to all stop after a random door shuts and wait just so she can pop out and fear flash us.
Or what about when they leave the door open to the book dimension room and chill out to chat until Wanda can catch up.
Or what about when the Illuminati treat Wanda like a turned based RPG boss and take turns fighting her instead of fighting like….you know…a team.
I think the real theme of this movie is learning the importance of urgency.
@@happybirthdaypaulie8584 TBF, not at all absolving this film of the sin, but this is a pretty common thing that annoys the fuck out of me. I feel like I see this "Stand around mouth agape" reaction shot so many times when the in universe character could have been taking any form of action and if makes me want to off myself.
@@jeebuschristos8423 That.... would actually be fucking terrifying.
I loved how they introduced reed richards as the smartest man in the universe then he immediately tells wanda how black bolt can kill her in a word instead of just letting black bolt kill her in a word.
"The smartest *_man_* "
There you have it. I guess?
Intelligence and wisdom are not necessarily correlated.
The wanda in there universe is not a big deal. If you remember Age of Altron all she can do is throw objects around. He did not know she had the power to erase someone's mouth. Even when their strange had the darkhold he was not that powerful.
Smartest man doesn't mean Wisest man. But I get what you mean.
The Illuminati were portrayed accurately because in this universe, everyone in the Illuminati, including Richards, are very arrogant, egotistical. It's basically the "ego-maniacal superhero group" universe. Their personalities are different in each universe. But, with that said, even then, your point makes it pretty funny that he is the smartest man in that universe and still tells her that anyway. Goes to show, with anyone, arrogance is one's downfall.
Basically the only reason the protagonist "won" is because Wanda DECIDED to give up.....forget Strange's powers, wisdom and abilities.
moreover, after scarlett bitch hearing "know that they'll be loved" she goes back to default settings lol, like before becoming a genocidal monster did she not know that those boys are going to be loved? like WTF?
It didn't occur to me until just before I'm posting this, but both Wanda & alt-Wanda are mutants (which is where their powers came from), their powers are the same, & since their powers are the same, that means that they had the same parents (alt versions of them in alt-Wanda's case, but otherwise the same). Therefore, it would've been cool to see alt-Magneto show up (or at least be mentioned) at some point.
gotta love when movies push the anti capitalistic message, while also wanting to make as much money as possible off it
Even ardent communists only support that ideology because they believe they will be among those that wealth would be redistributed to rather than from. No less venal than a capitalist
Everyone’s saying the part about food being free is “anti-capitalistic” and I feel like people are stretching for that, if it’s saying ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING (Which even then it’s a stretch) it’s that basic Commodities needed to survive shouldn’t be made Inaccessible for those who can’t afford them
@@acemagalor2519 Yes, that's anti-capitalistic, because someone has to work to make those basic commodities, and saying everyone is entitled to them means forcing the person making them into slavery to make them for everyone if you are saying they shouldn't be able to not afford them. The entirety of human existence is about doing whatever you can to eke out a living off the land by whatever means necessary. Capitalism built a society that allows us to do it with so little effort, and the demanding of things for free will put us right back to scratching out a living off the land and harder shorter lives. I got my land and reserves though, so I'll laugh all the way down.
@@acemagalor2519 Insane how feeding human beings is "anti-captialistic" now
There's nothing contradictory about that. If you can make more money by saying things people want to here, then you're better off doing so, even if that message is "stop making more money".
My biggest issue with the movie was the “Believe in yourself” ending and then trying to make it seem like whatever Wanda did wasn’t that bad and she “fixed it” in the end. She legit murdered several people in this movie. For no reason.
Ya that was my biggest thing with it. The ending with Wanda felt very trivial
"My villain is not really a 'bad guy', just 'Part of the conversation'" - Michael B. Jordan on his villain 'KILL'Monger. 😂
Bad guy sympathizing is becoming a normal thing.
It was so anticlimactic too, no boss fight or anything. Just a girl who uses the power of friendship and Wanda realized murder is wrong 🙄
@@warframehunter7298 Boring. Bossfights in the MCU have become so lame. This was way better. Not that she redeemed herself, but it was like "dude, fckng understand!!!!" And she understood. Fucking marvel fans just want the same old repeated bullshit formula and I'm tired of that shit
Well, Loki is pretty much a hero now and how many people did he kill in New York?
Wasn't the entire third act of Strange's debut film about him willingly putting himself in a neverending death loop all for the sake of protecting reality from an eldritch god? That seems like the exact opposite of everything Wanda's been doing post-Endgame.
Yeah but nobody in universe knows he did that
This comment is exactly why Wanda’s complaint that Strange’s breaking the rules makes him a hero, and hers a villain, makes me just…dislike her so much. Her arguments don’t actually add up and are just immature, posing as deep thought.
The scene where she says Strange shouldn’t talk to her about sacrifice blew my mind because this man has literally died more than anyone ever will to protect the world.
I am surprised no one mentioned the "You can do it" monologue at the end when Strange says the magic word "you can do it" to Bolivia Chavez and suddenly Puerto Rico Chavez can control her powers.
@@sandeepsrinivas7 just trust yourself. The power was in your control all along
To be fair. Wanda having vague powers has been a problem in comics too.
And pretty much everything else, her being insane over the loss of her imaginary children and getting away with any damage she causes etc
Yeah of all the MCU versions of comics characters (*cough* Carol Danvers *cough*), Wanda bugs me the least. She was always unstable and always had plot-driver level powers. I'm all-the-way done with the Marvels et al, but I was fine with Wanda here.
Wanda:"im not a monster im a mother". I'm surprised they didn't make her say. "I'm not a monster im a person with the capacity of pregnancy"
???
Fr, but I guess they tried to hide "the woke" a bit.
"I'm a potentially birthing person who can chest feed just like anyone else can!" - Wanda
Don't ask questions. Just consume product and get excited for next product.
that's pretty much marvel at this point, also avoid the woke shit
That’s literally all the mcu is now
*The Life of the Consoomer*
Oooh Movie Bob
Exactly.
Wanda has the most inconsistent powers. She can warp reality, but a little cave in stops her in her tracks.
Wanda de-exists black bolt's mouth but can't do the same for peggy's hands/legs/vital organs.
Plot.
@@gwagwa4685 Beat the two Male heroes with ease but struggled with the two female heroes. Gee blatant much?
She allowed the cave in to kill her... CLEARLY..
@@stefanm2731 I mean, Reed and Charles came off as more reasonable and good natured but still overconfident in their own ability. Meanwhile, Capt Marvel and Carter were just as cocky as the guys but they were much more stand-off and condescending.
That said, that 'battle' was unnecessary. What stopped Wanda from, I dunno, force choke the fuck out of Captain Carter with her magic? It didn't stop her from killing Black Bolt (who was vastly powerful that Carter) and Reed by overwhelming them with powerful magic from the get go.
Ahh yes, despite everything, they cannot overcome the most powerful entity in all of story writing: The Plot and all its other incarnations such as Plot Armor and Plot Device.
I remember hearing that Olsen wanted this to be her last MCU film. I guessing that talk happened right before writing and Disney just said, "Sure, but your character's going out like a psycho."
-
I'm honestly afraid of how bad MCU films are going to get now before Disney realizes that they should have pulled the plug after Endgame and gone out on that high note
I do agree. With Endgame, at least they had a clear concise goal to work towards, with movies coming out that told individual stories but still allowing them to build to that movie. A few weren't really needed in the grand scheme of things, but at least they had somewhere to go with it all. Now in the post endgame Marvel Universe, they're just making shit without a really clear endgame. Hell, in the early MCU we knew pretty early on that Thanos was going to be a thing and part of the reason he worked so well is we had a little under a decade of buildup leading to him. Now it's like they only make product for the sole purpose of advertising even more product. The frames there, but the soul of what made it work in the first place is missing.
We went from seeing the avengers fighting Thanos to seeing a green lard twerking on screen, good job marvel!
This is Disney, the beast does not understand ‘ending’ something they can continuously use even if that IP has been killed off and lurched back from the grave a few times
Even this shitty film made close to a billion dollars. As long as this happens, the films will continue.
@pb.j
I HOPE that after the backlash over "The little (Wakanden) mermaid" & "Snow Brown", Disney will rethink their agendas.
But I doubt it. Disney probably will keep up their "torch the past" agenda until they bankrupt themselves.
I had hope for a great Doctor Strange movie that focuses on Doctor Strange, and some cool complex and smart extra-dimensional villain - because that's his job. He gave me a Sherlock Holmes of the MCU-vibe, with all his books and artifacts, his thinking everything through and seriously trying to outwit extremely intelligent beings above human comprehension - but none of that happened here. This was just "running after delusional insane narcissistic antisocial magic woman". There was nothing smart in this movie, and that it even dared to try to make me sympathize with this deluded unempathetic wretch is insulting to boot.
Well said, the worst marvel movie is phase 4 apart from externals
Surprised you didn't point out how easily Wanda dispatched the male members of the Illuminati while the female ones got to actually fight.
Because strong female character okay remember its apart of the bigger picture that is "THE MESSAGE".
Eh it‘s nitpicking. The female power shots in Endgame and Infinity War were worse. Besides, technically Charles was the last one left standing and arguably did the most (And was the nicest to Strange). I won‘t deny that it was probably the intention of the writers to drive that point home, but it wasn‘t really that bad.
I'd understand if discount captain Marvel got to fight---at least considering the type of powers that she has. But discount Captain America? How do Reed Richards and Black Bolt get killed, but a character who can only fight melee does not?
@@sherlyn.a Guess Wanda wanted a fair fight for the non-powered one (well if steroid enhancements count as powers) XD idk honestly.
It makes sense that captain marvel survived as long as she did because she also had the powers of an infinity stone (even tho she was killed by a statue falling on her) but there’s no way Captain carter could have lasted just as long.
You are right. What's the point of bringing in talented directors into the MCU when the MCU directs themselves?
I feel like this wasn't Sam's vision. He probably wanted to make his own (likely better) story, and the studio took over and made this lame shit.
Blame Disney not marvel they used to make a good amount of movie before Disney bought them.
@you know this ??????????????????? why
This is why for all its faults, DC’s approach of letting Directors make the films they wanted had a benefit. When Marvel is good they are good. When it sucks, it sucks. With D.C., you have to take each film as it’s own thing.
@@ayeskidman9269 Sony's Gucci tho
Wanda saying she doesn't hurt anyone and she's not a monster at the end had me ROLLING. Jesus who allowed that in the final cut?
I still believe Agatha Harkness would have made a far more plausible, believable, and threatening villain than Wanda for this movie, especially given the writers clearly did not want to fully commit Wanda into a "villain" role.
Yeah but they used Wanda to get people to see a Wanda movie. Unfortunately since endgame MCU largely relies on cameos to get people to see the less popular movies
Remind us, how many children did Agatha have (but who didn't live in OUR universe)?
@@shuttittuppitt9355 There could have been way many more plausible motivations other than children. Truth is, the way they approached the children angle in the movie was rather inconsistent and varied slightly from scene to scene, so they didn't even use that plot point all that well in the end.
She's a TV actress though
@@quaest So was Ant Man, remember? People do make the jump to the big screen ( and vice versa) all the time.
Several times in Phase 4, the writers expect the audience to sympathize for characters that are morally corrupt. It is weird how consistently out of touch they are.
Its because the writers are morally corrupt and think they're the real good guys. You really have to be a POS to think wanda did nothing wrong at all in wandavision.
It’s probably because most of Hollywood is morally corrupt
Considering everything thats been going on at Disney lately, is it weird, or is it getting understandable?
They are called antiheroes for a reason, and they aren't something new. You don't need to s ympathize with a character to enjoy a movie. But this one sucked.
Wandavision seems to be afraid to define Wanda as a villain and creates a subplot to say that she saved that entire population and that made up for all the brainwashing she did. it's horrible
“They will never know what you’ve sacrificed for them Wanda.” -Monica Rambo
It’s good to know that the MCU continues to pretend that Wanda did nothing wrong in WandaVision, which causes that line to become even more dreadful due to her actions throughout this film.
Definitely ruined her character
Agreed
It's even funnier thanks to this movie since Wanda actively possesses other Wandas [ruining her own life in other universes], forces them to murder people and flatout slaughtered the Iluminati.
I guess all she did was also fine.
Uhh what? That was just one dumbass character lol. Literally the whole of Dr Strange she was shown as an evil psycho.
I mean... she died, they knew they couldn't let her character survive because she had gone too far?? Idk what else you wanted them to do
Okay, the whole "Puerto Rico Chavez" bit had me laughing out loud, but I feel obligated to say that America is actually a name for females, at least in Mexico. The whole stars and stripes jacket was a bit on the nose, especially when there wasn't really any mention of patriotism or anything at all
I went into the movie knowing that there was a character named America but nothing else. When I saw here jacket I figured that was going to become Strange's nickname for her, not her real name.
I don't think he's arguing against the name itself? it's only turning distasteful when in American movie a young woman named America is wearing the US flag on her. I mean America doesn't equal US.
@@dohavename6775 It does in the US.
I think its what she wears in the comics.
"There wasn't really any mention of patriotism or anything."
That's because she's from a DIFFERENT universe, & judging from her childhood flashback, that one probably didn't have a USA.
Doctor Strange. He's almost a secondary character in his own movie. It's more about Wanda and Latina Americana than about him.
It's kinda weird how they've been doing that in their recent shows. Hawkeye was basically about Kate Bishop and setting up Echo. The Mandalorian and damn near every other character sidelined Boba Fett in his show, Obi-Wan was side-lined in his show for the inquisitor lady. Fuck, even the Mando got hit with this in Season 2 of his show, where he was more often than not sidelined for other characters with upcoming shows. It's like the shit Marvels pumping out is a really elaborate advertisement for another show that will most likely be an elaborate advertisement for yet another show and so on and so forth.
Got a feeling that Blade is gonna be the only good movie coming out of phase 5. Ant man and gotg will be a Thor 4 and doc 2 repeat, the marvels will be DOGSHARTS, Captain America will be WOKE, and thunder bolts will be suicide squad 2016.
Wanda: “I made Mistakes And People We’re Hurt.”
Doctor Strange: “I didn’t watch your Disney Plus Show.”
😂😂😂😂 exactly what it was!!
Peter Parker: You don't know who I am, right?
Doctor Strange: Who are you?
Peter Parker: Great. Bye.
@LaVerdadEsMuyCatólica it really wasn't her movie lmao, like if anything, I felt like it was Wanda's movie more
And that's why I'll be skipping this one. And, no, I won't read the Wikipedia page on the show, either.
Strange was not brave enough to wach thats shit :D
What makes me upset is how much they held back strange. Strange in infinity war in my opinion was the best strange we ever got. In infinity he turned a black hole into butterflys, summoned multiple copies of himself, and learned multiple possible paths that lead to their victory. But in here the only thing that was even close to that was when he was playing battle of the bands with himself. The rest was just him running and getting his butt tossed around.
Wanda is just that much stronger than him.
True
It’s Phase II: destroy all the male characters
@@MikeJohnson-qy4wq As opposed to making all the women useless shrieking damsels...
@@ShadowSonic2 Thanos too, but the guy still pack a punch. I'd love to see more sorcery from Strange but they nerfed him...
After WandaVision I thought they were going for a more anti-hero approach for Wanda as she doesn't act like a villain or hero (or vice versa: she acts a little bit like both). Some of the greatest characters in superhero writing are anti-heroes (Deadpool, Moon Knight in the comics, etc) and their complex/gray-area moralities just makes them that much more interesting. But then MoM happened and turned her into a villain who kills left and right but wait she's doing it for her kids so she's a "complex and sympathetic" villain! All that character development and for what? Why didn't you build on that, why make her another 1 dimensional character no one gives a rat's ass about?
You’re not supposed to empathize with her in this film. That ship sailed in WandaVision. I thought the ending made the fact that she was a monster pretty clear when her kids were scared shitless by the sight of her.
@@lep2525 we were supposed to feel empathy for her. Nobody ever blames her for her actions and are always telling us about her sacrifice. Doctor strange 2.0 parrotted it the entire movie . 2.0 because he clearly isn't the doctor strange I remember before no way home.
I like how Drinkers intoxication level is noticeably different in every video depending on just how much he had to drink to get through it.
The fact that they just turned wanda into this genocidal monster because she misses her kids is so weird
It was the dark hold.... That's what it has always done in the comics. She probably had the thought and left it at that but the book corrupted her and made her act on it
I mean, was Wanda ever actually good?
@@Orokovet this literally happened off screen bro, it’s bad writing
@@TuningAnApple yes
@@onouphrios it happened off screen because… we found out at the exact moment that Dr. Strange did. We weren’t supposed to have all the context. We found out when we did to show that she was already too far gone after reading the dark hold before she could’ve been talked down. And plus the end of WandaVision already showed enough. It’s only as bad as how you interpret it. It unfolding as what people consider “good writing” every time is what makes cliches
Wanda : “I made mistakes and people were hurt”
Also Wanda: proceeds to make the same mistakes over again
😂 my biggest problem was how they made Reed Richards an idiot
I really hate Wanda in this movie. The only thing stopping me from hating her even more is Elizabeth Olsen's beautiful face and pretty makeup.
Her growth in wandavision was completely forgotten about and disregarded. It was so stupid
@@Emma.Lou1 I understand the movie tried to justify it by saying the Darkhold corrupted her, but I still find this very reaching.
@@Emma.Lou1 I thought Wandavision ended showing her using Darkkhold as a bonus scene.
i got as far as chavez and strange jumping to a new universe.
the stupid puke gag and making Dr.strange look goofy cause he "didn't think a different universe had different rules."
could have been a fun scene bounced off of almost ANY OTHER CHARACTOR.
but strange has not only handled similar shit before, but is like you pointed out, practically defined by his wisdom and foresight.
Wanda: you gave the power stone to Thanos.
Strange: Yeah... to win. It was the only way... literally.
Wanda: So...
Time stone, but yeah.
We needed so many more lines about that "this is the only way" line. Thanos points out that Strange never tried to use the Time Stone despite it having the ability to permanently trap someone in a time loop. He did it to himself and Dormammu. Have one of the other characters tell him to use it, and have Strange say something like "last time I did that I died 1000 times. I won't subject you to that". But that also doesn't work because he tried to use it against Ebony Maw when he was in significantly less danger
Actually, that could have been interesting if Strange had trapped Thanos in a time loop, but after dying thousands of time, it turned out that Thanos was more committed to his goal than Strange was and Strange couldn't take the insanity anymore and had to find a different way to kill him.
I find it disappointing how Wanda is billed as having these mega reality altering powers but we only see them once in this movie (when she takes away that guy's mouth). The rest of the movie it's just her throwing red magic at everything.
@Fenrir uh… teleporting in there and not seeing her go in IS sneaking. Also the point was they were in a dead end and she knew they were waiting there behind the door. I do agree she could’ve kept busting through the doors but then we wouldn’t get that cool witch shot
@Fenrir yeah that I agree, besides she’s so powerful to instantly kill 2 of the Illuminati members but just decides to fuck around with strange?? Like bruh half the the time Doctor Strange gets away from Wanda on some bs. But also uh turning off my brain? No I just like to watch a fun horror movie and it doesn’t have to be serious. It’s not like another infinity war/endgame or no way home. Doctor Strange 2 is supposed to be the beginning of this story marvel is doing, of the multiverse going to shit. And me personally and a lot of people I know enjoyed it. It’s a damn MCU horror movie… when have we gotten that before? A lot of people are just disappointed because their expectations weren’t met. While other people have actual reasons. Sam Raimi has been known to be corny, and there was a lot of corny dialogue and scenes. And also some of the directional approach from Sam raimi are inspired from 90s witchcraft movies which can be seen as outdated but I personally enjoyed it. I know some people didn’t and that’s fine but now people are just finding any way to shit on it.
"that guys mouth" the blackbolt disrespectful from MCU fans is crazy 🤣 that's your first time seeing BB
@@FazeRustyNuts Dude can wipe out a city with ease if he actually screams (he rarely ever “screams”). Not to mention his most OP good dogo
No, there was a side door that she found. While they were staring at nothing she was just walking around.
My only issue with the film was the whole "Dr. Strange is the greatest multiverse threat" claim. I was hoping this would lead to some kind of epic encounter with a really powerful evil Strange. Instead, we get third-eye introvert Strange who gets impaled on a fence.
who forgot to use his power to prevent him from impailing
It's the whole fuTurE is FeMAlE agenda by Marvel
one could expect more Marvel where in
men= weak, incompetent losers or just evil bad guys
women= strong, powerful, OP characters who are always right and reasonable
Classic writing mistake: all telling about the threat, never showing it.
"Dr. Strange is the greatest multiverse threat", and we watched Scarlet was kicking his ass the whole movie, yet get lost by the power of believe in yourself bs. Feel like DR Strange is the side character in every movie that he was in.
Didn't the Ancient One say Strange is "the best of us" in Endgame?
Thanos lowkey knew what he was doing. Had he wiped out wanda, the multiverse would genuinely have been better off. Half the population of one universe gone to inadvertently save several others.
I find it pretty interesting that when Wanda finds Dr Strange in the alternate dimension, she immediately kills both of the men with ease, and yet somehow struggles to fight the two women, one of them significantly less powerful (Captain Britain, who has much less options) than the two men. I wonder if they’re trying to tell us something…?
Captain Marvel kinda makes sense, but for Carter that should've been very easy
@@wbwbc89 Yeah black bolt is the one of the most op characters in existence. He still got a mob character ending.
@@iambatman.5894 bro i remember watching that clip on shorts and i felt so angered and disappointed in the movie.

@@mikewerner6906 Yep, you're exactly right. That was glaring.
When did that happen?
@@Dragonage2ftw when she fought the Illuminati.
@@Dragonage2ftw Specific to this, is when Wanda kills Balckbolt and Mr. Fantastic and the rest just wait their turn to die.
I was screaming internally during the movie, "Just find her a reality where her kids have no Wanda, easy" I'm glad you had the same thought Mr. Drinker, thanks for the video as always
Unless she uses Chavez's power, she can only dreamwalk into realities that have a living wanda. As drinker mentioned, she could have just asked nicely and I'm sure Chavez would have obliged. By this point though, her mind is captured by the darkhold so the thought probably didn't occur to her.
Wanda literally said she wanted Americas powers, in case her sons might get sick, the multiverse will have a cure.
@@halohunter111 Yeah, it's her crazy contrived way to justify her evil impulses.
@@halohunter111 And isn't that just convenient? Her entire character was butchered just for a bit of flashy noise for 2 hours. All of her complexity is waved away with a magic book so she can become a slasher villain with a one-dimensional "sympathetic" goal.
@@brycebitetti1402 You obviously dont know Wanda or what she represents in the comics or in the cartoons! Hell not even Dinker and it's laughable! The movie made sense yall just slow! 😂😂😂🤣
One of the strangest things for me was how Professor X just died so easily. I though he was supposed to be the most powerful mind reading power dude around. What’s the point of Professor X if he’s getting bodied at his own power? And it’s not like he’s convincing anyone to stop their evil wrongdoings, so that doesn’t count either. And why is the ultimate team, the Illuminati, getting tossed into the garbage like a rotten tomato in the first place?
That Illuminati scene made me question everything in this movie…like why is Dr. Strange was getting sidelined in his own movie? What is this, Scarlett Witch: Multiverse of Madness? And not to mention how ridiculous her reasons are for being a murderous psychopathic maniac and just how incredibly inconsistent and overpowered her powers are. It was extremely obvious how much plot armor the “main characters” had. She could instantly kill just about anyone who isn’t Dormammu or Dr. Doom and whoever else is around that power level. Like, here we have Black Bolt and Mr. Fantastic getting folded in 2 seconds, and then this random girl with a striped jacket is somehow escaping from Wanda every single time they meet, and beating her up using the ol’ one-two tactic at the end?
The scaling of the MCU is absolutely insane and all over the place. Why is a random girl - who just showed up - using a Darkhold powered Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Scarlett Witch as a punching bag all of the sudden?
There’s so many things wrong with this movie, but I’m going to leave it at that. Let’s just say that after I watched this movie, my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.
I agree! This movie focused so hard on trying to fit in as many agendas as possible that it didn't have time left to make sense.
I never really felt all that bombarded by agendas honestly. I think it was a mess of a film that lacked cohesion, thus certain elements stuck out that didn’t need too. It’s diverse cast felt like the foreground cause the plot was doing a bad job, I never felt it forced upon me. Honestly the agenda it seemed to hail was the comic book tease agenda. It felt very bloated by little things that didn’t make a good story but would make people go “ohhh it’s blank!” And I’m a fuckin nerd! They casted a fine representation of a modern society and forgot to make a full film for that cast.
@@augustdice3914 that is also a good take on it

I can certainly understand the sentiment of your feelings and can see it more with reflection of the film, but I really think the failure came in plot and execution, not the needless devotion to agendas. Take America Chavez, her character in its early creation in comics was UNDOUBTEDLY a creation of trying to appease “agendas “ even though that’s not really what people asked for anyway, but she was later used in exciting ways that allowed views and cultures that are not as represented in comics to shine and they didn’t try to sexualize her but allowed a teenage girl to have opinions and feelings that they normally would. Did they do much of that in the movie? Fuck no! She got as much characterization as the dark hold and this caused her smaller character traits, such as her pride pin, to take the foreground cause we had so little else to know or care about, thus making her seem like her purpose was 50 year olds hoping she is relatable and trendy. I just think she was a prop they cast a person for, like if the Darkhold had an actor!
Wanda: "I made mistakes and people were hurt."
Wanda's mind: "and I'll do it again"
Sort of describes Hollywood in a nutshell, doesn't it?
Oh no. Did I say that or just think it.
"I gotta think of a lie!"
To be fair, I'd rather she embrace her powers and go insane instead of having her head patted and being relieved her consequences. Like a lot of Wanda stans seems to still be doing. Lol
Generally her choices, although bad, are really understandable. She has very good motives for doing what she is doing. But that's not enough to justify her because these good motives are actually good... for the villain. Like with Thanos when we could understand why he did what he did but still knew it was horrible. It's because understandable motives are for villains. Heroes are the ones who choose to sacrifice himself DESPITE the fact that they don't have to. That's why Avengers were heroes - Strange never had to day countless times (we don't know how much it was. I could be 10 times, it could be 10 mln times). Cpt. America never had to sink himself into the ocean. Stark never had to snap...
So in the end I think that Wanda is pretty well written character... but as a villain. So as long as she is evil she does great job. What's wrong is that everyone tries to justify her and make her a hero while she is a great example that being a hero takes much more than having super powers. If they wanted a redemption for her it couldn't be in the blink of an eye. Just like with Loki who at first was only a great villain with understandable motives and only in the end he redeem himself by giving his live for a greater purpose.
@@tailedgates9 That's my issue, I WANT her to be some kind of villain protagonist who isn't afraid of staring at the abyss and not caring how people perceive her. Think about "Joker", the MCU would NEVER dare make a film like that, instead we should see Wanda as noble because she let go of human lives that didn't belong to her, and now as an excuse for her brutal actions in Multiverse of Madness "Uuuuh... It's an evil book that made me do it!"

I absolutely HATE what they did to Wanda and her story arc in this movie. I loved WandaVision, even if it had a few little flaws, and then they just completely trashed her character in this movie. "Yeah, but the Darkhold!" Piss off with that argument. Oh, and you're spot on in your assessment of Uruguay Chavez. Keep up the great work Drinker!!
As someone who's read an America Chavez comic, trust me on this Drinker, I mean it: her having as little personality as possible is the absolute _best_ thing you can do for any movie she's in.
The actress must have cook a lot of creampies to the executives to work there.
For an ignorant man like myself, can you explain why?
Please elaborate :)
@@khawajarafay5415 What is wrong with her, in the comics, is pretty much everything that The Drinker just listed as being wrong with Wanda in this film, but ten times worse!
Honestly, I was amazed by how they managed to make her bearable in this film, I previously though it would be impossible.
But then again, I thought Captain Marvel was as bad as it could get, only to have this film show me that other, OTHER Captain Marvel who is even more unlikable!
So I was impressed twice during the film. I wasn't expecting that. 8 out of 10, will watch again!
@@khawajarafay5415 she's the embodiment of every SJW and LGBT+ in her comics. And to top it off. Really badly written!
For me, the most disappointing part was the defense of the Kharmitaj. Like we have wizards from every part of the country gathered up, and what magic do they use? Bows and Arrows apparently. And Strange was even shitting on Hawkeye in the previous scene, like did no one realise the irony? Imagine what sorts of cooler defenses and magic they could have employed to be used if needed… and especially Wong, the actual Sorcerer Supreme being treated like a ragdoll throughout the whole film, Strange can summon Hydras from his hands and Wong just… throws knives I guess.
I guess that's what the ancient one meant when she said "strange is the best of us" (sorcerer supremes) :lul, and kharmitaj and every sorcerer got nerfed after stranges death (and didn't power up when he came back), makes sense
what drives me crazy if those portals are perfect cutting tools, and they used them a grand total of one time for that purpose and not even on purpose. Thanos could have been cut in half in 2 seconds when they were doing the gang up on Titan.
I'd be okay with it if they were shown to actually be effective thanks to magic: instead Wanda somehow gets a direct hit from a cannon and somehow isn't scattered across the battlefield.
It was also just lame that Wanda was able to power through the defenses with absolutely no strategy or preparation. Have her attack it backed by demons she's been bringing in from other worlds instead: imply that she wouldn't have a chance on her own, but she's been tireless and completely unethical in preparing for this, and give us a good battle scene.
But magic just does literally whatever the plot demands in this movie, with extremely useful spells being done once and never again.
You are so right.
Costa Rica Chavez!!!! LMAO🤣🤣🤣
I realize this is endemic to action movies in general, but I feel obliged to point out that America's punch on Wanda has some of the worst form I've seen. As in she absolutely would have broken her own hand had no superpowers been involved. It's not just the writing, but the choreography that's hitting the bottom of the barrel.
"You are the ones pointing guns at me" etc is actually the most realistic thing about real world villains - deny and reflect back even the most obvious accusations.
Plus the entire context of WandaVision is that she was struggling with a mental breakdown. Soon after killing her man vision to try to stop Thanos, he turned back time and tore Vision's head, killing him, again. She soon retreated into her own world and created a fake neighborhood, and fake family life in a psychological break.
She wasn't being reasonable about the guns, and her fake Vision husband had to convince her to let him, and the fake kids go. When your fake husband has to show you reality, you're struggling.
So I'm not crazy. People have traveled through the multiverse before, but they need this girl to do it now for some reason. Also, given everything Wanda is shown to be capable of, I find it hard to believe dimension hoping is the one thing she can't do.
Well to be honest, they broke the MCU with the Avengers Infinity movies. They introduced way too much stuff way too fast for its own good.
1- Time travel
2- Cosmic beings with no limitations with no actual context or small fish - big fish power checks
3- Multiverse/Alternate realities
4- Power creep and no actual balance from 1 character to another.
If they really wanted to do Infinity war they should have just followed the Comic instead of making up BS and basically backing themselves up in a corner with the characters, there is a reason why all that stuff was introduced in specific series at different times in stages.
It also doesn't help the garbage woke BS they keep trying to nonsensically throw into these movies.

@Parmesan Cheese Addict I love how I didn't ask you, yet you replied.
No those were time periods in the same universe u idiot not diff universes
I'm starting to think the multiverse was a big mistake to bring into the MCU. Limitless possibilities are pretty insignificant in the long run considering we can only see one of those.
Before the multiverse, the MCU had at least some form of order or structure, but it kinda feels like with all these different universes and timelines they can literally pull anything they want without needing to explain it.
The Multiverse is a mess. And this movie is a prime example.
Also because in the end only one really matters. Not only in a story standpoint, but also from the audience's. Like sure is cool to see random bullshit dimension from time to time, but noone is going to chose the copies over the ogs. In spiderman it only worked because the other spiderman didn't exist for the multiverse, they were created as something separated and then got the chance to be integrated. Now is just going to be random shit created to impress the audience or the agenda and not to improve the story, like with an indian spiderman
yeah it's a huge double edged sword wen u bring in the multiverse
The multiverse in general has been a big mistake for Marvel since the 90s
Deaths pretty much mean nothing when you can bring that person from other world
"Squid monsters are the first step in establishing a good working relationship". I can feel a Critical Drinker entry into the management consultancy book market coming.
I was watching this recently and it went to the scene where she and Strange are having an argument about the children she magically created and was desperate to be their mother. I was perplexed because I did not watch the series and if she did make magical children, my immediate question was the same as yours, why are these children so important right now? Like what happened to her love life Vision? Why is she prioritizing this magical children she never had anyway? 😂😂😂
This makes sense for me. Now she knows the multiverse, she would want the real kids. The kids that would grow with her. The real ones that are mot her accidental imagination. But. Yeah, you didn’t watch the series. She created them in the Hex, which would never become the reality.
And this was after she already learned to let go of her kids and fake Vision husband in the series. Her fake vision husband literally got her to understand that. So they re-ran the entire "letting go of escapism after a mental breakdown so she can heal and move on," from WandaVision in Multiverse of Madness.
ruclips.net/video/0kcZGCCKBYo/видео.html&ab_channel=BestScene
This is the last episode of W.V. when she lets go of her fake family life she created with her own magic, and didn't realize was fake. She had such a traumatic time of killing Vision in End game, and then having Thanos go back in time and kill Vision again, right in front of her.
This completely wasted her growth and healing in WandaVision imo. I sure hope she gets a counselor, and doesn't keep this cycle up by jumping back into her magic addiction.
I've never really understood why some people defend Wanda so much. Like with WandaVision, they always use the excuse 'She was grieving' when she took an entire town hostage and defend her actions to the hilt. But in Hawkeye, where Clint is trying to atone for his mistakes and spend time with his family for Christmas, people say 'This is all your fault, just because you lost your family doesn't give you the right to go around murdering people. Others lost their family too!'. Couldn't the same argument apply? Is there something I'm missing?
Because she is a strong, independent woman who is damaged from the inside, please have some sympathy for her, she has lost everything and is the most broken character in the MCU right now🤣🤣

When you watch Doctor Strange fights from other films, and then watch him fight Wanda, it really comes off like he just forgets most of his abilities. Seriously, why was he nerfed so bad here?
Because hes a white man, that's what Disney always does now
Can't have a white man beat a stunning and brave woman.
because stupid unstopable horror wanda aspect. this is why you dont mix horror and comci book movie or otherwise everybody except villain has to be nerfed. Of course that completely does not absolve creators because they could still have action better despite being horro like Aliens for example.
Strange definitely peeked at Infinity War. The creativity in his magical abilities and what he can do has been lost since then, and we only got a couple of little bits of that here.
Because Disney HATES men.

I think your closing thoughts sum it up perfectly, Mr. Drinker. The most frustrating thing for me in things in life, particularly works of fiction, is when something has all the building blocks to be better than what it ended up becoming. It's like a pet peeve, but more intense. There's just so much room for a more fantasy-like Marvel superhero movie here, but it needs to respect the wider universe it takes place in, to stay within reason and the audience's suspension of disbelief.
If Wanda had the ability to chase America Chaves across the multiverse... then doesn't she already have the ability to travel across the multiverse? Why does she need America Chaves when she already has the power to chase her around the multiverse?
"I'm not a monster; I'm a mother" - the most offensive line of dialogue in all of cinema history. Anyone associated with this terrible travesty of a film should hang their heads in shame. Same problems as Wandavision times by infinity. Phase Four showrunners seem incapable of learning from their horrendous mistakes.
Nah, there are dumber lines uttered by men in movies
I mean , she’s evil- that’s her mindset- I’m pretty sure that’s what the writers were tryna portray. She feels like she’s justified because she’s a mother and she’s do anything for her kids. Like people are upset at her lines , but she’s a villain and she thinks she’s right , so her dialogue is gonna be crazy shit like that.

Shit made me cracked up lmao (I’m Latino btw)
It really bothered me that you find out Chavez's "origin" and then it's never really addressed again. Would have been interesting seeing Wanda and America traveling the multiverse together. One a child looking for her mother and a mother looking for her children. Would have made Wanda's turn more impactful for me while also getting to know America a bit more.
That actually would have been a cool way to end it.
I personally don't understand why they keep beating the House of M dead horse when mutants aren't even really in the MCU and shattering Wanda's reality caused over half the mutant population to either die or lose their powers.
..and maybe also having Strange play the role of temporary dad for Chavez and work husband to Wanda and eventually learn that it might be worth it for him to put down the mantle & "knife" and have a family with Christine. At least you could create an internal debate and tension for the movie's supposed main character. (Although I woupd prefer having Christine along for the adventure, and having Strange and Christine paired up as dad and mum for a bit, tempting Strange to settle down).
Yeah, but then they'd have to make America Chavez a good, interesting character. Too much work for these writers.
This is stranges film
Well...problem is, Wanda is one of the most broken Marvel characters. Her magic IS way off the charts and has no real limits iirc (House of M being the best example), which is why her skills are like a child's toy abilities: she will just add more and more to fit the situation. That's a big problem for the people making the movie. But indeed, she's being mishandled badly. Same for Doctor Weird, who seems like he lost some braincells after Infinity War.
Power creep.
Superman is now immortal when before, he jumped high.
Superman reminds me, marvel now has a superman problem. Wanda is so messed up powerful that she's superman now. Killing her off is the best solution right now but if she survives, I don't know what sort of paths the writers will take her (Hopefully House of M)
I really preferred Wanda when she could manipulate probability - that was an interesting power. Now she's one more character who can do anything and lacks any sort of wisdom, foresight or emotional intelligence. If they were going for a female superhero here, they only created a supervillain and lack the consciousness to recognize it. I don't recognize this Scarlet Witch that bears the name of the older more interesting character. If they wanted to pander to the folks who still claim that any extraordinary power comes from demons they're on their way.
Doctor Stranger's stupidity is actually bewildering at this point.
to me a character that has "no real limits" to his power is just a death sentence for any meaningful story. Yeah it's cool visually to make such a character, but in the end you end up wondering...well if he/she can do anything, then why don't she does X-Y from the start. And this...makes the whole story uninteresting.
I wish there were these magical books where they would help the writers with characters powers, storylines and purpose but man too bad nothing like that exists
That's especially ironic since the whole SAG/UNION strike BS, which was (mostly) them whining that AI might be able to do a better job than THEY can. To which I say, if an AI CAN do a better job than you can, then guess who REALLY deserves "your" job? (I just answered my own question!)
it was so funny when they were talking, making jokes, and walking calmly instead of running when they had limited time to save the whole world.
I noticed that when Wanda kills the Illuminati, Black Bolt and Reed Richards are killed outright with no legitimate effort to fight back.
But Captain Carter and Captain Marvel put up a much better fight. That was bothersome.
It’s woke bs
Movies are now for lonely housewives apparently.
Mary Sue beats up two Mary Sues.
Not just that the male deaths are more graphic and shown while the female are less so. Carter may have been cut in half but we only see a bloody shield and her "top half" fall (could have shown her legs fall with the cut out of frame and her top half fall in front of the camera with the cut out of frame) and Marvel get "crushed" by a statue (she's fine going through a wall though) where her hand just falls, no blood pooling.
And don't forget Ms. America Chavez putting up a good fight too. This movie had Disney preaching to us throughout. From the pin she wore on her jacket, and having 2 mothers, and even her name itself. Disney is garbage. Bunch of groomers.
The fact that they still refuse to hold Wanda accountable for her actions is enough reason for me to avoid this film. It's utterly insane and borders on parody at this point, like the writers are doing it just to spite us now.

The way you said fuck off film this time, I could feel your anger in that pause😂😂
I was actually pleasantly surprised they made Wanda into a villain. After all her immoral actions in Wandavision with the attempts to make us sympathize with her, I was happy to see her portrayed as a ruthless villain here.
Kind of confusing though; "She's learned a lesson...nah, just fuckin' with ya!"
And yet still tried to garner sympathy for her at the end because she "did the right thing." I don't think the MCU knows what it's doing with these characters.
@@mowgli6345 How's that any different than how FOX kept trying to make us feel sorry for Magneto?
@@ShadowSonic2 They didn't even say that.
@@ShadowSonic2 Magneto had a much more valid reason of hating human beings discriminately after they try to discriminately hunt and kill his kind for no good reason with even governments allowing it but let Spider-Man / Thor / and Captain Marvel run around.
I feel like Doctor Strange should of had his own movie to focus more on him. And Multiverse of Madness would be the sequel to Wandavision like an Avengers level film so that way its kinda like House of M that it focuses more on Wanda against everyone. My main problem with the film was balancing out both of those two major characters and then throwing Chavez in there felt like a waste.
Which Chavez though? Mexico Chavez, pUERTO Rico Chavez?? There's so many
Same critique I had too. This was his first standalone film in years and he ended the film as the same person he was in the beginning. He lacked a character arc minus that ‘are you happy?’ Fluff the other characters kept pressing him about and his 3rd eye.
yes this. it's why the first one was so good
That's what they teased in all his trailers. It made it seem like the big problem was Doctor Strange. They made it seem like he was actually a big deal, what with the whole "the greatest threat to our universe is you," followed with the epic reveal of evil Doctor Strange. But no, he doesn't get to have any agency, he's just a hindrance to the true protagonist, Wanda, and an escort for the deuteragonist and McGuffin, America Chavez.
And evil Doctor Strange is just some castaway stuck in his own dimension, twiddling his thumbs until he gets taken out like a little b*tch.
@@b-0220 yes!!! I felt lied to! They also never showed America in the first trailers. I wouldn't have watched it if I knew she was in it from the start. It gave me a feeling that it was going to be another Hawkeye: a main character sidelined by some new kid
Drinker is Scottish, and he named more Latin American countries than regular Americans can.
I love how you say you have the blackest of hearts, but when Wanda is willing to kill anyone to be happy your response is,"No, that's wrong.".
"Oh no, she's chasing us! Let's stop for 15 seconds for no reason...oh crap there she is!" Also why is she running at them in glass covered feet even though she can fly? "Shush! JUST CONSUME!!"-Disney
Seriously this movie suffered most because of horror aspsect of Wanda being unstopable monster. I love this movie however plot holes were very obvious with no big epic scenes to distract
1) Why Dr. Strange let fodder wizards get slaughtered if he knew that he himself is no match for Wanda. It would make more sense make run for it from the get go, rather than let many of his subordinates die for nothing. That man can open portal to different plantes for christ sake!!
2) Why Strange, Wong and America are just waiting for Wanda to come out from the reflections. Dudu you can literally move the entire room start doing something!!!
3) Also bet that forgotten spell was never used before NWH and will never be used after because it would solve a lot of problems.
4) Wizards using guns and arrows against Scarlet Witch was some Battle of Winterfell dumb shite!
5) I am just wondering what are exactly limits of Wandas powers. Because reality warping would mean she could give herself Americas powers without needed her. Also I love how during final fight she conveniently forgots she can change memories on whim. ¨
Love the movie but its definetly controversial one.
@@rjofusetsudzin8011 make Wanda forget about her fake ass kids and boom.
*horror movie logic
😂😂 when I left the movie that was one of the first things I complained with my husband. Totally inconsistent
It's based on superheroes from Marvel Comics.
You're nitpicking when there's a ton of shit in the MCU that wouldn't have even happened if anyone had common sense. It's for teens and marvel fans.
A lot of reviewers seem to only be talking about the positives of this movie like Sam’s direction which I liked as well, but the laughably bad writing/story really drags what could have been a good movie down.
I went into it with low expectations and had a good time. Just treat marvel movies like big budget B movies and have fun with it. Most of the comics didn't take themselves too seriously to begin with.
@@augustsawzak5401 yeah the marketing oversold the movie.
Looks like the studio messed up the script considering their history of what was shoehorned in iron man 2, the deleted stuff in the Hawkeye series and the last minute additions to Shang chi.
And considering the crew which made the movies haven't ever done such messily written movies. So I guess it's the studio diluting it into a shallow blockbuster.
@@augustsawzak5401 your comment is the reason why the mcu keeps getting away with this kind of trash
@@augustsawzak5401 I wish I could, but it’s hard to enjoy myself when I’m cringing every 5 seconds.
RUclipsrs expected this movie to be a masterpiece and now they desperately trying to sugarcoat this all time disappointment. But they have no problem trashing Shang-Chi which is objectively a better film. It's all about their narratives. There's no such thing as honest opinion anymore.
I am still upset at how easily Wanda takes out Reed Richards, one of the smartest characters in all of Marvel, who should have had a bazillion backup plans ready before she ever entered his universe
Yes! I was super upset at that. Just killing off those characters killed my enthusiasm of introducing them.
My biggest issue is that you can have a villain with a faulty logic, but treat it as such. Not only is wandas logic, and methods, extremely faulty and immoral, but the world and its characters don’t treat it like that, they act like it’s justifiable when it’s not. We as an audience are being swayed to support multiple characters that we just don’t agree with. Friendly reminder that Civil War literally tackled this topic already
Yeah civil war. When the scenario wants you to accept the flawed logic of captain america by making him right at the end even when he was selfish and irresponsible during all the movie…
I don’t really think the movie is trying to do that. Everyone is scared of Wanda and many of these people are trying to stop her. No one other than strange tries to sympathize with her. And isn’t that the point of the main hero? Besides, they try to talk her out of her villainy for 2 reasons. One, Wanda is way too overpowered to just beat up and be done with it. And two, beating up Wanda to defeat her would be so anticlimactic for a character who’s been around for seven whole real life years now.
@@DarkSpartanFTW That's why it sucks that somehow she redeemed herself while the whole movie depicts her as a selfish person. At least Thanos keeps going
How does the movie want us to root for wanda? The movie is actively pointing out that she wants to murder a child. I think you’re missing the point
Sounds like she went nuts. Vision really knows how to push them buttons....
I can only imagine Sam Raimi repeating in his head through the entire shoot, like a mantra, “Just get through this and they promised they’d fund another Evil Dead.”
With Bruce Campbell standing next to him saying “We’re gonna get through this Sam, it’s all gonna be Ok, just think of how many deadite costumes and chainsaws we’ll be able to afford!”
@Jay Brent I read it was number 4 but Bruce not acting in it but is producing it?
Who will fund it? Disney?
