Message: <blockquote data-quote="p_johnston" data-source="post: 8672962" data-attributes="member: 7016849">Overall I enjoyed the movie just like I enjoyed most marvel movies. That being said I am on the side of the people who saying that the Wanda heel turn seems abrupt. In terms of screen time the time between "Oh god what I have I done. I must free the town even if it means giving up the children I love." To "I will murder an innocent child, countless people my demons kill across while rampaging across the multiverse and EVERY SORCERER ON EARTH." is about five minutes. We effectively go straight from redemption scene to villain reveal with a 10 second post credit scene being the only thing we have to bridge the gap.While in universe there has been a couple of years the movie never really makes that clear. If I was told that in universe the movie took place 1 month after Wandavision I would have probably gone "yep makes sense."Also this movie again brings up a complaint I often have of "the sorcerer supreme is really, really, really bad at his job." In terms of movies/shows since infinity war where the Sorcerer Supreme really should have either known about or done something about it we have1) Wanda taking over an entire town with magic.2) Not knowing about the 10 rings that, at least in the past, were being used very blatantly to take over ancient china.3) Not knowing about Ta-Lo and the Dweller in Darkness (which seems to be very explicitly the kind of thing they are meant to stop)3) Not knowing about the Eternals who were active in the 1500's4) Not trying to stop the Celestial baby from destroying the earth.5) Not interfering as two ancient egyptian gods duke it out in egypt.6) Not caring when an egyptian god literally turns back the night sky.And probably more that I've missed.Edit: My main point in the last complaint is we are explicitly told that the Sorcerer supreme and all the other sorcerers exist to stop otherworldy threats from destroying the earth. We are then repeatedly shown them either being unaware, unwilling, or unable to help with said otherworldly threats.</blockquote>
