Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness SPOILER Discussion17562

There are things that I like about this movie, but I think that it deserves all of the criticism that it receives, and here's why:

Wong is the Sorcerer Supreme. His only f**king job is to protect the world/universe against mystical threats. He literally led the Scarlet Witch - a being that can control and/or destroy the entire multiverse - directly to the original runes of the Darkhold.

That kind of writing is unforgivable.

Sacrificing a few for the sake of the many makes good guys look bad, so it was basically trying to salvage Wong's image in the viewer's eyes in lieu of protecting the people of Earth

It doesn't make Wong look good in any fashion, though. He has 1 job and doesn't even do it. So, not only is he selfish, but he's selfishly incompetent?

Kind of too quick of deaths for Black Bolt and for Reed Richards. Black Bolt is too powerful to die dumbly and Reed Richards is much smarter than he was depicted.

i feel like they shouldve saved John Krasinski for a F4 movie vs an appearance. They shouldve had either Gruffudd or Teller reprise (we all wouldve loved to see Teller's version meet grim end) seeing how all the actors on the Illuminati were their original actors.

Prof x's could be seen as a sendoff as I doubt if we ever get xmen in mcu...theyll use him again
Black Bolt was same actor as the tv series we dare not talk about.
Captain Carter was same actress
Captain Marvel was confirmed to be Maria Rambeau (maybe in that universe she went with Mar-vel instead of Carol so she got powers) and was same actress

so why have only one newbie actor? yes there were reports he was in talks and fans wanting him but why give us him and first appearance he is killed (I know he can still be in mcu). maybe gruffudd or Teller couldnt do it

It's possible they were testing the waters to see how people responded to the various cameos....

The Illuminati was actually my favorite section of the movie. I thought that they selected the members correctly, and while I thought that most of their deaths were pretty cool, I can see why that would grind someone's gears. I personally hate the idea that Scarlet Witch is somehow a stronger telepath than Professor X. I literally said, "oh my god" out loud when Krasinski showed up as Mr. Fantastic; Can't believe they went with the fancast.

It was definitely a less pragmatic Wong than in previous movies. I found it ironic (not the right word but I'll continue its abuse into meaninglessness) in Infinity War that he cuts off Cull Obsidian's arm without a second thought early in the movie but no one tries against Thanos later on. Trying to save everyone is the typical good guy move though.

The writers did themselves a favor by building-in that "1 in 14,000,605" chance line. Takes the fun away from the What If...? scenarios.

I don't know anything about America Chavez in the comics but the one in the film felt more like a plot device than a character.

It’s only 1 Earth that they had that crisis on. There are infinate earths to have more crisis on. Just imagine a plot of Crisis on the Infinite Earths.

She was a human McGuffin, that's for sure.
