I wish there was a 4 and a half star because thats my real rating. I love this type of superman, the naive kind who is super sweet and tries his best to be a superhero. The animation is gorgeous and everything is so colorful and just sweet, never stopped smiling the whole time. My only critique is that the story was moving at a breakneck pace, everything was happening so fast and it was kind of dosorienting. Specifically lois and clarks relationship, they went from a weird but sweet interaction at a bodega to close friends before the first episode even ended. And even almost kissing at the end of the second, but of course this is a kids show and that sort of thing happens often. But overall I love it so far!

This movie was exactly what I thought it would be. Wanda makes this movie unenjoyable for me. Her powers are confusing and inconsistent to the point that she runs the story at her whims. And the fact that she is a very predictable character makes this movie just not fun to watch. I could predict the exact ending from the beginning of the movie. There were certain things I did like about this movie, the heroes (Dr. Strange and America Chavez) were cool I like those characters and they have a fun relationship. But in these characters arises another problem for me. They are scared of wanda. And of course you can write that your hero's fear the villain, it makes sense. But when it comes to the point where the hero just wants to appease the villain, it becomes pathetic not heroic. For an example in Lord of the Rings Frodo fears Sauron. Everyone in middle earth fears Sauron. And yet the most unlikely creature rises against him and defeats him with courage and the friends he made. It is a heartwarming story and badass in the process. The last thing I will talk about in this review is Wandas powers. They simply made me annoyed. They were horrifically over powered and inconsistant. She can kill Mr. Fantastic and Black Bolt without lifting a finger. Yet she has trouble against Captain Marvel, (understandable), and fricken Captain Britain! She can can beat these other guys with no trouble but she struggles to fight a really strong person with a shield. It is just so utterly stupid and infuriating, and not even clever. For an example Captain America stood up against thanos in infinity war, he inevitably lost but he fought back it a way that made sense. Thanos was trying to kill someone and Steve jumped in front and put his strength against thanos's. While Captain Britain verses Wanda was Someone trying to brute force just pure reality magic! Anyway this is of course just my opinion and everyone is free to think what they want. And no matter what jackass on the internet tells you to believe it is you who can make your own call. I hope everyone has a great day.
