Saw Multiverse of Madness. I lots of fun and got the cosmic horror adventure I wanted but I recognize most of the criticisms and I feel like only Sam Raimi could make this work.

lol why is the grooms sisters dorky white friend part of the wedding dance number

for real laughed so hard at that

also when the music started I thought it was weird that they were going to be dancing to a black eyed peas song from like 2005 because Im a dummy and didnt realized it sampled something

also more seriously, the Clandestines plan to go aggressive so fast seems dumb. They waited like a hundred years, they couldnt give Kamala a couple days to figure stuff out? She didnt even say definitely no.

i mean, they turned on her so fast that I dont get why they didnt just take the bangle the moment they met her

oh geez heard the Djinn rumors ages ago but I thought it was downplayed to be more of a conceptual explanation than literally that happening

good moments though, weddings nice, got a bit emotional with parents talks, and then legit cheered when Kamala punched 'em out when Bruno was in danger

boy is that a really quick villainous turn with no warning tho

also, about Kamalas origin: she probably isnt literally a Djinn, its more like the Clandestine were superstitiously misidentified as such. Unless these Clandestine arent the first ones in this dimension, the concept of djinn would predate them by a long time. They could still be alt-universe Kree or something.

Watched Doctor Strange and overall enjoyed it. Biggest complaint was that they really needed more connective tissue between the end of WandaVision and Wanda going genocidal. I mean yes, losing her kids (only to discover they still exist out in the multiverse) brought her grief to a new level + Darkholde corruption, but there could've been a little more. I thought that's where they may have been going when Xavier jumped into her mind, but nope. I'd be curious to know if there are some deleted scenes that may have helped.

The Illuminati was fun and I wouldn't mind Krasinski being 616 Mr. Fantastic too. Kinda surprised they actually brought Anson Mount back as Blackbolt. Hope for more AoS character appearances reinvigorated!

Yeah this my biggest complaint about the episode. It happened so fast and for such flimsy reasoning I legitimately thought I had missed something. She even goes as far as to say "Why would I protect someone who betrayed me?" when all Kamala did was ask for a few days to consider things? At that point just have her be a villain; a heel turn doesn't work dramatically if it's literally like 5 seconds after the character is introduced.

Overall better episode than the last two, mostly because it feels more focused on the story it's trying to tell and less on preteen romcom tropes

Oh, another thought on MoM. With Phase 4 seemingly doing a lot to establish the new Young Avengers, after WandaVision, I was really expecting this movie to properly introduce Billy and Tommy into the MCU, as like adults or something. Obviously that did not happen, and now I'm left wondering if it's even going to happen at all.

I just want to see Wiccan and Hulkling as a big screen power couple. :(

I feel like another reason some of my MCU takes might seem so weird is because I'm interested more in the storytelling possibilities of the superhero "genre" than in the characters per se. Although on that token I feel like Multiverse of Madness has made for an effective enough introduction to the multiverse idea seeing how this is the first time a character from the main universe is travelling through it (as opposed to a time-displaced Loki finding out about it through sheer happenstance, a cartoon showing off other universes, and characters from prior film continuities showing up in the MCU), and in hindsight I feel like the criticism that the movie doesn't do "enough" with the multiverse concept may be more because of how the whole idea has become more common in media as of late, e.g. Crisis On Infinite Earths, Into the Spider-Verse, Everything Everywhere All At Once. That's another reason I feel like The Flash is doomed even discounting other PR headaches, but that's another topic.

Speaking of, I've seen Into the Spider-Verse twice and both times only found it decent. Other members of my family love it and I get the hype, but I feel like it might have raised expectations a bit high for some which might be affecting views on Multiverse of Madness in particular and maybe to a lesser extent No Way Home.

A frequent criticism of the movie has been that it doesn't do enough with the multiverse concept. I understand that but didn't really feel that way when I was actually watching the film. I suspect more will come eventually and that this movie was meant as an introduction. Let's be honest: No Way Home only really used the multiverse for the sake of fanservice. This movie at least used it for the more fulfilling purpose of cosmic horror. I get the feeling John Carpenter would be proud.

Oh maybe Leon took issue with me bringing up other films for comparison. Might be getting too many ideas from TV Tropes. Or maybe it was me bringing up The Flash again. I still find the DCEU troubles fascinating to watch though and felt like elaborating on that so I didn't seem like I found Ezra Miller's actions "glorious" somehow!

ms marvel whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat we doing thisssss???

back half is great aIthough gotta say the D+ 6-ep format really makes it hard to enjoy downtimes, like again it feels like every time we hit episode 4 I can never help feeling the tick-tock of the episode count and frustrated at so much being left unknown and unsure where we're headed. back-half does speed up and I mean that quite literally it kinda feels like it's in fast-forward

I am enjoying this a lot but yeah the episode count is very much daunting to me which is all too familiar a feeling right after Moon Knight & Obi-Wan... [Marvel & Kenobi spoilerz] Clandestines suddenly appearing in Pakistan reminds me so much of Reva just warping to Tatooine

man I can't wait for She-Hulk to give us more breathing space within a series

Somehow this never came to mind when I watched it. America isn't a terribly uncommon name.

I wanted to bring up something regarding the fanservice in Doctor Strange but it involves those "YouTube randos" (though for the record, this is something I saw almost two months ago) so I figured most of the board wouldn't care.

Not sure how I feel about the ep but it's a bit sad to be so pulled away from the New Jersey life with Bruno & Nakia getting left in the dust (not to mention DoDC?) and I'm not sure if we're done with them? Next ep's apparently starting into time travel so it doesn't feel like we'd be heading home soon but then it'll be the finale and what endgame is even being set for that?

I hate that my mind always goes to these quandaries with these 6-ep shows

I actually thought he was great, since besides being the smartest man on Earth, there's gotta be a level of smugness/arrogance that the actor needs to hit without it being overbearing, and I thought Krasinski did it very well. Like, there's a sweet spot with Reed where he isn't your typical movie arrogant, but he basically knows what he is and he's extremely confident in that, almost to a fault, so you need somebody that can play that up.

EDIT: I've always felt that with Reed, it's more important to have somebody that can play the role of believing they're the smartest/being very confident in that, over somebody who can just play the actual intelligence itself.

Tbh I felt like it started off weak and then just kinda stayed there. Like there's been some neat stuff but for every neat thing it introduces there's even more that's either tonally inconsistent or just doesn't make sense. The Clandestines are somehow a less interesting and more nonsensical villain group than the Flag Smashers were in FatWS.

And holy hell does this suffer from trying to rush its plot, half the time it never gives reason things are happening, they just kinda happen because they need to set up the next episode.
