multiverse of madness spoilers

all i’m saying is that if mordo was around when stephen and wong met america, he would have physically restrained stephen from seeking out ms wendy because, “stephen, we shouldnot go seeking answers from a witch who was on the news just a few months ago for holding an entire town hostage.”
i am shocked that wong did not point out the same thing but this also tells me wong probably doesn’t watch or care about us news lol. king behaviour
but yeah if mordo was in the movie the scales would’ve been balanced perfectly. i hope the ~big threat clea needs help is some unholy alliance mordo struck up with her idiot uncle
stephen strange fought so hard to protect america because she reminded him of donna and how he couldn’t save her send post
clea introducing her boys: this is my boyfriend, stephen. this is stephen’s boyfriend, wong. and this is stephen and wong’s estranged husband, karl.
i forgot to mention but my favourite part of the movie was when wong spoke cantonese let benny wong speak more in his mother tongue, marvel!!! we love a multilingual king and his wet dog of a friend who doesn’t even like speaking english
multiverse of madness thoughts. spoilers obviously
1. i think critics are insane for the way they’re ignoring benedict cumberbatch’s performance. he gave each of the four stranges nuanced, distinct personalities that allowed them to shine through. even supreme strange and his “i’m ready” comment when facing death — a nice call back to stephen’s “i am not ready” comment in the first movie.
2. wong had some good scenes but i am angry at how much they nerfed him. even if the scarlet witch is a super op character, wong is the sorcerer supreme ffs. he is supposed to be powerful and he didn’t even get a single hit at wanda, just got thrown around a lot and it was frankly insulting.
3. they did mordo so dirty. first by not even including mcu mordo in the film, then by retconning his backstory. waldron is a fucking demon because one of the reasons why mcu mordo was so appealing was because his enmity with strange had a logical starting point versus the comics mordo. but of course waldron retconned it into the comics verse where mordo is just a bitter jealous man. i fucking hate this. chiwetel doesn’t deserve this rat man’s nonsensical writing.
4. master mordo was a cutie tho. my favourite bit was when stephen put that magic dampener cuff on him and they started throwing hands at each other. lol dumbasses.
5. the Illuminati were boring except captain marvel. i refuse to believe that she is dead given she literally is one of the most powerful beings in every universe. it was so good to have lashana lynch back ❤️
6. the sorceress sara was done so fucking dirty. they gave her a funkopop, they chose her name to tease sara wolfe (wong’s interest) and then they killed her off so horrifically. i hated that so much. this film somehow relished hurting and killing bipoc and ofc you can’t expect anything different when you consider the people in charge. it was nauseating and the more i think about it, the madder i get.
7. wendy was surprisingly good as a villain but then marvel did its thing and tried to excuse her actions every step of the way. like sorry u lost your imaginary kids. maybe seek therapy instead of trying to kill a literal child for your gratification. plus the justification she gave for wanting to kill America? nauseating.
8. i really liked america chavez. she may have lost her moms in the multiverse but I’m return she gained two incredibly tired dads
9. one day marvel is gonna respect reed. one day. but let’s talk about clea. one of my legitimate fear was that they’d cast some 20 year old to play her and it’d be just as iffy as their ambiguous age difference in the comics. idk how charlize will do as clea but im happy that she’s at least bc’s age
10. overall a very mid film that was both a doctor strange film but it also wasn’t. i’ll have more thoughts later but one thing is clear. waldron is a demon. doctor strange 3 should be about doctor strange characters so pls no wendy or loki or anyone else. jericho drumm, more mordo, clea and wong pls. would love to see america too and maybe vvd.bye
when THIS happened my jaw was on the FLOOR that shit was terrifying
doctor strange multiverse of madness spoilers without context
YOOO MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS WAS FUCKING INSAAAANE
Just got out of the theater from watching doctor strange multiverse of madness and
With little spoilers, all I’m gonna say is all I could think during that first scene is “I can’t believe doctor strange is homophobic ”
Rewatching wanadavision and now im getting this strong inkling that the Wanda we saw in multiverse of madness trailer (the levitation scene) might be one of the versions of Wanda they mentioned in we’d see throughout the multiverse, though alot it is heavy speculation.
I could certianly just be me hyper-analyzing the changes in her Wimble from the finale to the trailer, BUT since they released a teaser photo with split versions of steven (strange Supreme and stephen) maybe that’s another Wanda they haven’t revealed in the story yet? (Also considering there was tale of a version of her fighting Professor X? Sounds a Lil fan-made but I mean…..♂️? )
Again, could totally be reaching…but it’s a theory.
Darkhold Headcanon
The darkhold only shows what the reader wants.
Exhibit A: 616 Strange immediately finds the page in the book to dreamwalk
Exhibit B: 616 Wanda is focused on dreamwalking when she found out it can be a way to get her kids back
Exhibit C: Agatha, who boasts knowledge in her basement scene, refers the book to have CHAPTERS because she read it like a book.
Exhibit D: AIDA also immediately finds the necessary knowledge to save coulson and fitz in AOS.
Marvel having 4th wall breaks and not giving one to John Krasinski is the worst decision they’ve ever made
The same fans who are like “Wanda should get some therapy and that would fix things” also fucking hated the therapist in Falcon & The Winter Soldier because she actually gave him good advice, even if it meant calling him out on his lack of willingness to participate in his recovery.
Y'all really love talking about how useful therapy is, but then coddle the characters when they’re faced with actual accountability. Therapy is not just you talking about shit and your therapist repeating “Your feelings are valid” ad nauseum.
y’all know what would’ve just absolutely shattered me?
if during this scene where wanda’s dream walking is interrupted and she’s going back and forth between earth-838 and earth-616 consciousness, everything plays out exactly the same…
except at one point wanda’s so caught up in fighting against wong that she doesn’t realize she’s actually hurting her kids in earth-838 at the same time until she regains consciousness in variant wanda’s body and realizes what she’s done…
resulting in wanda being completely gone and the scarlet witch out for revenge.
she didn’t stutter when she meant anyone
it’s always “i’m fine” and never “in spite of your hypocrisies and insults, i have begged you to safely get out of my way. you have exhausted my patience, but i do hope you understand that, even now, what’s about to happen: this is me being reasonable”
one day in the distant future no one will know what bedspread crisperbitch’s name really is because of how many times we have mispronounced it and there will be historical artifacts on fifty year old iPhones yet no one can find one consistent name except that most of the variations end with cucumber patch.
And we will know. But we withhold the information. We are gods and goddesses and everything in between.
The drip is temporary, the question is forever.
