Had to paint Supreme Strange.
So I FINALLY saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2 ½ weeks after it came out I know I know) and… yeah not really my cup of tea
Ok first of all, I’m not really a Doctor Strange fan. I mean, I don’t dislike the character, I just struggle to get attached to him. I only watched Doctor Strange one time.
And I can already hear the fanboys saying “uh it’s because you didn’t understand the movie). No no I did. I just didn’t really like it. Here’s why
- In general, I thought the whole plot was a mess, and we were getting everywhere at once, but maybe it’s a choice, maybe it’s to illustrate the multiversal madness but in result I thought the story lacked in substance. Like every time there is a problem a solution comes out of nowhere, with no build up whatsoever! It looked pretty messy for me
- I was waiting for Wanda vilain era and I was soooo disappointed. They turned her into this almost mono-dimensional antagonist. From the beginning they raise her a very valid counterargument “if you go to another universe to find your children, what happens to the other you?” and we barely get a reaction. I don’t know I expected more character development from Wanda, especially after WandaVision, and I am disappointed. Also is she dead??? If she is this feels really counterproductive to set her up to be one of the most powerful beings in the MCU just to kill her one project later
- This is more personal but I really expected this movie to be about the repercussions of Strange’s spells in No Way Home but not at all, which I think would have made a better plot, but again personal opinion here
Now I still liked a few things
- I really like America Chavez. Her character has a lot of potential and I can’t wait to see her in more projects
- The Illuminati scene was great. I was especially excited to see John Krasinski as Reed Richard, after so many rumors. I hope we’ll see him again, in our good old 616, and of course Charles-Xavier!!! I knew about about Captain Carter but I don’t know about the other two (the other Captain Marvel (edit: it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize it was Maria Rambeau) and the other one whose name I can’t remember), but I suppose it was equally exciting for people who got the reference
Any that’s all for me. Again, not really a personal favorite but hey, it happens sometimes!
This blog is prepares to stan Wanda Maximoff to the end.
She could eat a baby in a pie and I’d be like well that baby was going to be like Thanos meets Emperor Palpatine times a billion so the universe is better bc Wanda ate a baby pie.
Fingers crossed she doesn’t die though.

Wong: there is sex without love and there is love without sex.
Wong: and then there’s you, without both.
Stephen: wong for the last time I didn’t fucking know that was your sandwich
Wong : We need a plan.
Stephen : I have one. I still have a fist. Dormammu still has a noses.
Stephen: I’m going to ask you to be respectful.
Wong: I will politely decline.
[Mordo and Wong scolding Stephen]
Mordo: We are not mad, just disappointed.
Wong: No, we are mad.
Mordo: Yes, we are mad. We are livid. But we are going to let this one slide because you are a good man.
Wong: No, we are not. And no, you are not.
Stephen: Now I’m just confused.
Mordo: I am uncomfortable when flirting.
Mordo: I never know when it’s the right time to show my man that I can fit an entire fist in my mouth.
Wong: I once thought I was being haunted by a ghost dog. It would come into my room at night and it just wouldn’t stop barking at me.
Wong: But it turned out that Stephen just got a dog and didn’t tell me.
(bonus)
(Stephen: in reality, it is a real ghost dog)
Wong: How have you been coping with everything?
Stephen: With sarcasm mostly.
Wong: Has that been working?
Stephen, sarcastically: Yeah, it’s been super great!
Kaecilius: People tell me I have a unique way of lighting up the room.
Mordo: It’s called arson and those people are called witnesses.
Stephen, about Wong: You don’t want to mess with my best friend.
Stephen: He’ll wear down your self-esteem over a period of years.
The Ancient One, whispering at Stephen: Tell him, “You have beautiful eyes.”
Stephen: That’s good. Okay.
Stephen: [turns to Mordo] I have beautiful eyes.
Mordo: Yes, they’re lovely.
The Ancient One, whispering: Not your eyes! His eyes!
Stephen: Oooohhhh… [turns to Mordo] Your eyes. Your eyes are beautiful, not mine. Mine are okay, but yours, I bet you can see right through them.
The Ancient One: [throws her hands in the air] Good enough, I guess.
Mordo: Oh, please, when have I ever done anything rash or irresponsible for a man?
Wong: I keep a list. It’s alphabetized.
Mordo: That’s a really small folder.
Wong: This is just the letter A.
Wong: You’ve literally dated every single letter of at least four different alphabets.
Stephen, whispering in Wong’s ears at 3 a.m.: I am sorry and I apologise have the exact same meaning unless you’re at a funeral
Mordo: I feel ill. Do you think you could give me your thoughts as a doctor?
Stephen: Karl Mordo, as a PhD in neuroscience, I diagnose you as too damn beautiful for this world.
Stephen: The cure is going out on a date with me.
Mordo:
Mordo: That’s sweet and of course I will, but I literally have a fever.
Wong: So … what’s it like dating Mordo?
Stephen: Once, I asked him for water while he was mad at me and he brought me a glass full of ice and said, “Wait.”
Mordo: What’s our evil plan today?
Stephen: We’re gonna sling-ring ourselves to a Starbucks and decide what we want when we get to the fucking cashier.
Wong: After, I’ll send mine back for almond milk.
Stephen: You went too far.
