I heard there was going to be more cameos, but when they leaked, they cut some of the minor ones.

Which made me start thinking... There was an empty chair in the Illuminati room, and when they squaded up to fight Wanda, the shot was framed as if somebody was missing to the right of Maria.

Do you guys think there actually was supposed to be a Tony Stark or someone else there as well, but they were cut?

Could very well be the case. I thought the robots were supposed to be Ultron bots so it wouldve made sense to expect a Tony Stark to be in the Illuminati. I also expected they would have some sort of Black Panther on the team too.

I think Tom Cruise's Iron Man was definitely cut. The Ultron bots were obviously his. Otherwise a pointless thing to put in if they weren't gonna even touch on it.

Saving vision wasnt possible. Thanos had 5 stones. No version of wanda, even in this one is beating that. Thanos with multiple stones=ultimate being we've seen in MCU
Isn't the ultimate being so far been Arishem? At least within the confines of the MCU 616. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure Infinity Ultron and Supreme Strange are the strongest seen so far in the entire multiverse and would destroy Thanos with all the stones as well as Wanda.

I really enjoyed it

Benedict and Rachel were great, Raimi did his thing

I think the two things I questioned was how easy it was for Wanda to force Wong to give up the information she wanted, the fate of the multiverse at stake and the threat of killing a couple more no names after she's turned so many of them to ash already was all it took... and they don't even address how many people she killed by the end anyway, the whole Kamar-Taj wiped out but it's all smiles because they got a whole new group training. Not to mention the other universe is fucked with virtually all the illuminati dead

I'm assuming Wanda is about to be pursued by a lot of people over that but you still have to wonder who would actually do it, given how powerful she is.

Power scaling is tough, maybe arishem does trump thanos with infinity stones. Who knows, not enough shown to go either way. We did see a dead celestial, indicating they are killable so Im going to assume 5 infinity stones could do it.

One of the ultimate beings I'll say. I dont care for what if and its power scaling is all over the place, everyone has universe destroying powers. Ultron can grow to the size of a galaxy and bite it in 1 second but also gets hurt by black widow throwing a shield at him.

I interpret it as thanos with stones was stronger than any wanda, so her vision was doomed

Arishem is debatable as the current ultimate being because without a wiling avatar they cant do anything directly.

People complaining about the cameos

they're throw away variants. And they were bossed by the strongest being in any universe. This doesnt mean John Krasinski still cant be Reed Richards or that Patrick Stewart cant be Prof X.

they introduced a character who can travel between multiverses at will. Thats a pretty big deal within the MCU right now and I assume will be a big deal once Kang is formally introduced.

it wasnt a 10/10 marvel movie but it had a lot of great moments.


Wanda is pretty overpowered in this film, but definitely not the strongest being.

Thanos with stones, Kang, probably the TVA if the way the stones were trivialized is anything to go by, Maria, possibly Thor with Stormbreaker.

thanos with stones sure (anyone who can use stones and has them), kang we'll see. I hate the TVA, they are told to be this multiverse controlling force...but they are all human variants and the first time we see them they get their asses kicked by two lokis. Maria?

Stormbreaker thor caught thanos by surprise in infinity war. Not sure how he fares against wanda if she can just erase him or make his head explode.

thanos with stones, perhaps. But as you said stones are trivialized depending on the universe youre in. Scarlet Witch had she obtained Americas power would be nigh omnipotent and would handle Thanos.

Kang is completely questionable right now.

TVA is really a nothingburger after the sacred timeline fractured.

Maria Rambeau? She absorbed her power and killed her using another body.

old king Thor perhaps. Thor with stormbreaker? No chance.

I mean Carol sorry, not Maria. Im skeptical Wanda would crush 616 CM, a character they literally had to write out of most of the Infinity War films just to balance the villain/hero scale.

Lets also not forget Wanda was pushed back by America literally just punching her. I think in the context of this movie she looks very powerful, but there werent a lot of powerful characters in this film.

carols powers are derived from the space stone. Thats how she got them.

wanda had innate magical abilities, amplified and fortified by the reality stone. Along with darkhold knowledge.

Im assuming Maria and Carols origins are very similar wanda still punked and absorbed Marias powers.

616 CM vs Powered and Pissed Wanda?

its wanda 99.9999% of the time.

Carol literally blasted through an entire fleet of ships effortlessly, Maria literally was crushed by a statue and died. There is 0 chance their power levels are the same.

wanda mind controlled a literal town and manifested a new vision off of a dead synthetic corpse and created children.

this is before she tapped into her latent powers as the SW and before she read the darkhold.

then crushed the entirety of Kamar Taj.

CM powers are cosmic, sure. But wanda was transcending reality and dimensions.

Some of the Loki variants looked the same, too. President Loki looked the same. In Captain Marvel's case, it was a different person who absorbed the cosmic energy.

You also have to consider things like durability. Wanda may win in terms of raw power, but ultimately her body is still that of a human. This can be seen even in MoM as she is slowing down after constant use of her power in the underground tunnel. I am not saying she cant beat Carol but I am willing to bet shed have done better than anyone in this film.

I was a bit baffled at how Richards, the smartest person on the planet, just went full rambo on her as well.

dont forget that wanda from 616 is dream walking another wanda from 838 and that wanda doesnt have the knowledge and power 616 wanda does, yet is able to do 616 feats. Thats ridiculously powerful that shes using a puppet and extending her powers through dimensions. Thats why 838 is wearing down as she fights and progresses. Many people are underestimating her powers at this point. Her best line was that to Strange when she said the only reason everyone was alive was cause she was being reasonable.

and yes, i think that was a meta joke about Reed in certain comic incarnations that hes arrogant as fuck and hes more arrogant that Dr. Strange.

In dr strange the cameos were a bonus, the movie was NOT designed around them. They exist only to show Wandas power and what can happen in other universes

NWH is a tricky spot. It is built for the cameos but it works out in a good way because they become central to the story and at that point are they cameos or main characters? Up to interpretation but they didnt feel cheap (lizard and sandman didnt amount to much I suppose)

Wanda's durability may be beyond human, she took a full on tackle from a super soldier and shrugged it off like it was nothing. Even a pro football player tackling a regular woman would take her out. Here it was super soldier carter. In no way home strange actually tanked a point blank goblin bomb. So clearly in terms of durability they are beyond regular human

As for carol captain marvel vs Wanda. I think I side with Wanda but Carol's powers dont get showcased consistently. Its implied she can go faster than light based on how much space she covers in short time frames but she cant use her powers in a fight at light speed? Maybe she needs momentum to get to light speed. I think I take wanda, wanda showed she can straight up erase people or make carol's head explode
