Dr Strange 2: In the Multiverse of Madness (Spoilers)

[Staffan]

There's also the implication that there are different types of magic. The whole reason Strange goes to see Wanda is that he (or Wong?) identifies the runes binding the demons pursuing America as witchcraft and not sorcery. If they don't vibe well with one another, that's a good reason why the sorcerers didn't catch on to what was going on in Westview – particularly since it was just post-blip, and many of them were probably busy putting their lives back together.

For one, Disney denied it and said it was a glitch, though I can't find the article now discussing that. All I can find is more of the same guessing at what was done, and all from the end of June of last year, when this was first noticed.

I highly doubt it was a glitch. The revised scene was intentional, and the "glitch" looks too much like a person (Strange, in particular) to be random. More than likely, the original plans for Multiverse of Madness changed. Remember, the director Sam Raimi said he did not watch all of WandaVision. I would imagine someone told him he is not bound by that now.

They changed the trees in that scene for some reason. It is theoretically possible it was a technical glitch introduced by that change. Whatever the case, we can no longer say it must have been an invisible Dr Strange coming to visit Wanda, because the events of this movie render that an impossibility.

Maybe it was bad evening for us but we didn't like this movie.

I only enjoyed the scenes with the alternate characters (Captain Britannia?, Haley Atwell). It was a real treat for me to see Reed Richards, Black Bolt and Prof. Xavier. I don't know who the black woman is supposed to be.

Alternate version of Captain Marvel, portrayed by the same actor who portrayed Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel.

Google it. I'm hardly the only one to notice the sexist overtones. People are saying it's a classic example of "female too powerful for her own good". People are also complaining that they Disneyfied America by making her a wide-eyed, helpless kid who doesn't know how to use her powers until the male hero gives her a pep talk.

You mean that same wide-eyed, helpless kid who ended up using her powers and defeating the Scarlet Witch where the main protagonist, Dr. Strange, failed? Seems like a pretty standard trope for young superhero paired up with an older mentor type. They did the same thing with Miles Morales and Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The storyline with Wanda didn't strike me as sexist. She remains the only protagonist of a Marvel show where the titular character was the main villain. No, it wasn't Agatha all along.

Also, I feel like there's a bit of sexism in how the Darkhold makes traumatized Wanda go out of control evil but Dr Strange, who is repeatedly criticized for being arrogant and controlling and is repeatedly warned about the dangers of using the Darkhold, gets away with it. Wong even says "I don't want to know" when he sees Strange using the Darkhold to puppet a zombie version of himself.

Wanda went evil before she got ahold of the Darkhold as she was the villain of Wandavision.

Yes, Wanda points out this double standard herself early in the film, but the filmmakers then proceed to let Strange continue to break the rules and remain a hero while Wanda ends up having to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to make up for he villainry. (Yes, I know, the Darkhold has had some kind of effect on Strange, now that he's got his own third eye, but the implications of that won't be revealed until some future film.)

It was your standard, "we're very much alike," speech villains love to give to protagonist. When Strange breaks the rules, it's usually to save a life or help someone. When Wanda breaks the rules, she's enslaving people or working towards murdering the actual mother of the kids she wants to adopt. Wanda's argument only has legs if you think her and Strange are equivalent, but they're not the same. Wanda didn't see that she was the villain until America showed her what she looked like through her childrens' point of view.

Wanda went evil before she got ahold of the Darkhold as she was the villain of Wandavision.

She was a pretty classic anti-hero in her show, not a villain. She went full bad after spending over a year+ with the Darkhold. And this is why the MCU can bring in a variant Wanda who never read the Darkhold and have her not be evil. I still think 838-Wanda will show up again, with her kids, and become the regular one for the main MCU, just like GotG got a new Gamora variant as a regular after the main one died.

I think it was Chekhov who wrote that you shouldn't bury a body in act one unless you're going to have it extradimensionally possessed in act three. Sage words
