Spoiler

Certainly not, already plenty of rumours of her being in series coming up and also getting a stand alone movie.

Hopefully she is returning in the Ralph Bohner spin-off series.

Just finished this. God these movies are strange but I’m absolutely here for them. Find them very engaging.

Spoiler: Wanda

so do we think she’s actually dead?

Spoiler

She's contracted for more Marvel appearances, so logically she'll be back in some way in the future. Still evil or a redemption arc ?

I actually don't know which one I prefer her as. She makes one hell of an evil witch!

Watched it again yesterday. I found myelf not bored on second viewing which i find odd as my attention span is sometimes wanting

I watched it again on the weekend and enjoyed it. The two cringe parts are...well, cringe but passable. The singing bit and the the face off at the end, just the facial expressions and the 'uh uhh' of SW just comes off as...weird.

the twins singing?

the twins singing?

Yeah...I understand what it was establishing and its certainly a kid sort of thing to do. Was just jarring.

And her chat with America at the end she had some...weird mannerisms.

Watched this during the week. I’m pretty over superhero movies but Raimi made this watchable. Loved the Pizza Poppas reference.

Spoiler

The music note fight scene was weird

This was actually one of my favourite parts of the film. The fight was Beethoven’s 5th vs Bach’s Toccata and Fugue.

Beethoven’s symphonic work is very big and heroic, Bach’s organ music is creepy and atmospheric - it’s a mashup in the same way the film is a mashup

Beethoven’s 5th is also known as the Fate Symphony - an appropriate metaphor for the character who wields it

Has the latest dr strange movie screwed up the marvel multiverse?

Spoiler

in loki there was one core universe and then all these variant universes emerged off the core.

Yet in dr strange its clearly stated there are infinite universes where every possible outcome happens.

the concept of infinite universes already existing is completely incompatible with the multiverse as described in Loki. all possible variant universes already exist if there are infinitie universes making the whole plot of loki nonsense.

any thoughts on this?

I think you’re overthinking what are fundamentally kids movies drawn from kids comic book stories

There are some very nice adult touches that I appreciate (see above) but if you try and hold the plot up to too much scrutiny you are going to have a bad time

Spoiler

Biggest gripe was they essentially shat all over Wandavision. She had essentially come to the realisation at the end of that of the consequences of what she had done and how terrible it was. It was quite clear Raimi never watched the whole series.

I can’t fault him for that, I couldn't stomach it either

Marvel's multiverse just seems like a flimsy plot contrivance to allow more graphics action sequences for the characters.

…sounds like you are new to comic books

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I saw it in the cinema and liked it, watched it on Disney+ and still liked it. This is not high art, but just some escapism fun. Has it got flaws? Sure, but who gives a flying fig.
