Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Wanda and Dr. Strange were my MCU favorite characters so I was excited for this movie. However, this movie is full of action but lacks in character development. It is much darker than what you would expect from the MCU. 'Everything everywhere all at once' has more Heart and does a much better job of capturing the Multi-Verse infinite realities. I rarely write review, but I was really disappointed. This is my biggest criticism of this movie. When you take a well loved character and make them a supervilian, you really need the audience to believe it. In the WandVision, there is a full development arc of how Wanda creates an imaginary world to deal with her grief and loss. By the end of the story, Wanda realizes her mistake and accepts the loss of her loved ones and ends WestView illusion. The next time we meet Wanda in this movie, Wanda's apparently gone from accepting the grief and instead has gone full on evil Supervillian. It is complete character disconnect, and there was no build up to it whatsoever. Plus in this movie, there is no mention of Vision the whole reason Wanda created WestView in the first place? This movie takes Wanda's heartfelt grief coping understanding arc in WandVision and throws it away entirely to make her a SuperVillian. Which makes no sense since Wanda could have just decided to stay in WestView and remained in the illusion (she created for herself). Even with the poor plot, Elisabeth Olsen portrayal as the evil Scarlet Witch is very good. I just couldn't get past the total character disconnect. Finally this movie does nothing to further develop Dr. Strange as a character. I liked him better in SpiderMan No Way Home as the Snarky mentor. This movie trades action for heart, and therefore disappoints.

The first season is absolutely phenomenal. I would give the show ten stars if I could. It isn't a show where you can watch one or two episodes. It is a show that builds and expands through the full ten episodes of the first season. The show is a combination of a great saga like Lord of the Rings with a philosophical Inception twist. It is masterfully written and everything ties together in the end. So much so, I want to watch it all over again. The story is so layered and there is hidden depth to it beyond the cheesy western macho backdrop. There is a great deal of nudity and violence, yet unlike other shows on HBO, it flows with the story being portrayed. This story may appeal more to a mature audience as life itself brings a greater understanding of the deeper narrative. .

After all the fanfare, I was really excited to see the show. The story itself and the it's characters are wonderfully complex. Here is what you should expect: "Multiple graphic Rape scenes". As a women who could be triggered by these scenes. Just beware, almost every strong women character is violently raped at some point during this show. GOT 's main focus is on Power. GOT fails to delve into the long term emotional and psychological trauma associated with Rape. If you can't stomach the violent nature of this show, it would be best you avoid it altogether.

This show is wonderful! Quite simply it tells creative stories with developed characters. The show has a human side that "our happily ever after" is made up and tied to our choices in life. There will be horrible mistakes driven by pain and anger. Yet with every turn there is another opportunity to grow and redeem ourselves by choosing to do the right thing. The show makes you feel better about yourself that no matter what that it is never to late to begin again. That is what makes it so authentic, even the heroes make mistakes at times. "Evil is made not born" and so is a hero. In our current world full of violence, anger, and division it feels uplifting to have such magical stories of redemption and that the love and light ultimately triumphs!
