The film opens in the Gap Junction, where America Chavez and a Strange variant called Defender Strange are fighting off monsters and demons that were sent by Wanda.
Ten years ago, that sentence would have made no sense at all.
They’re after the book of Vishanti, which is like the ultimate good book of Marvel that has the most powerful white magic spells in the universe. In the comics, it was written by Agamotto, one of the first sorcerer supremes who also created the eye of Agamotto. In the MCU, this is the necklace that used to house the Time stone, but is still a powerful relic in its own right.
Now the monster is trying to take away her powers. This whole plotline was actually set up in WandaVision. In Agatha Harkness’s origin story, she is accused of, and later we see that she possess the Dark Hold. Gonna explain the dark hold in a bit, believe me.
So Agatha was unable to use this unnatural power fo the dark Hold to suck the life force and powers from her fellow witches. Agatha used this dark magic to try to absorb Wanda’s power, and now Wanda is using it on America.
America Chavez is also produced pretty faithfully from the comics. She’s actually from a dimension outside the multiverse called the Utopian parallel. Just like we see in the movie, her parents were two women, but they didn;t disappear accidentally. Long story short, they sacrificed themselves to save the Utopian parallel and move it into the regular multiverse. And in the comics instead of her moms being lost in the multiverse, it’s her sister Catalina.
And I just gotta say, superhero origins have gotten way weirder. When I was a kid, it was like, here’s a geek and he gets bit by a spider so now he’s like a spider. God I sound old In my day, if a man wanted ant powers, he made an ant suit and that was that.
Moving on. Her jacket is straight from the comics, but I believe they added this pride flag pin, a nod to her being a lesbian in the comics. And the phrase “amor es amor” is written on her jacket, Spanish for “love is love.” And the star-shaped portals she creates are also taken straight from the comics.
So Defender Strange is willing to sacrifice her, and says ““In the grand calculus of the multiverse, your sacrifice is worth more than your life.”
And this isn't just a throwaway easter egg. It’s showing that the MCU’s Strange is willing to make these same kinds of sacrifices. First he’s letting supervillains die, next he’s killing a teenage girl. These same hard calls are made by other Stephens in the movie-like Illuminati Stephen and Evil Stephen.
And we saw this in Strange Supreme in what if [talking about needing more power]. The first doctor strange movie showed usStrange learning to overcome his ego [it’s not about you]. But this movie shows us the root of that ego, that Strange doesn’t trust anyone else to succeed. He’s the smartest, the best, so it has to be him.
He carries around the guilt of letting his sister die-which happened in the comics, easter egg for you. Because of that guilt, he feels like the weight of the world is on his shoulders. He has to get more powerful so HE can be the one to save everyone. So Strange’s arc, in this movie, is to overcome this weakness, and learn to trust others. In the case of America Cghvez, he has to learn that important lesson that all teachers have to learn-he has to NOT take away the pencil, and trust her to win the day.
As Christine puts it, as a surgeon he always had to be the one to hold the knife. His trust issues drove them apart in every reality. And, as a side note, delegating saving the world gives him more time to focus on his own happiness. But more on that later.
When Strange gets ready for Christine’s wedding, he has to use magic to tie his tie, because his hands are still crippled and can't manage this task. This is also probably why he had a goatee trim guide in his basement in No way Home.

"You’re late Worm " (Khonshu Voice)
too bad boomer, my hairstyle is same as Xavier's
Christine also said that she is from Earth-838, which is a universe where Loki tries to steal Santa Claus's powers to ruin Christmas.
Why couldn't they get another Vision from a different University to convince of fight "Scarlet Witch"?
The problem is probably that Sylvie is still writing kangs page's mr.Eery.
One Easter egg you missed was Xavier was talking to strange while they were under attack. He said, "someone may stumble and lose their way, but it doesn't mean their lost forever. " He said that to his younger self in day's of future past.
Underrated comment right here. Great catch.
Nice i noticed that too
Good catch. I thought it was referring to a redemption arc for Mordo
I kissed my fingers like a chef when I heard Charles say that
What scene was this? I don't remember it
At the end of WandaVision, she hears the kids saying "mom help! Mom please" which is what they say when 616 Wanda shows up in multiverse of madness and the kids get scared. Prompting her to stop.
O:
Oh
seeing that clip in the beginning of this video made me notice that too!
Good catch!!👏🧐
Ayo
Wanda's Pennywise moment could be a callback to The Ring and The Grudge remakes since both were produced by Sam Raimi.
Definitely gave me grudge vibes lol
Yes! Hole movie seems to be homage to horror classics like evil dead, it, carrie, the ring and...alien (when they running in the tunnels under the river shuting gates behind them)
Idk why but to me some parts reminded me of “drag me to hell” which it traumatized me lol
@@Kwain. that's what it was, I couldn't place it, it was Aliens, sweet catch!
I took “the hex was easy, lying was hard” line as Wanda referring to the hex she was using on the orchard to make it look alive. That is why Strange say that the flowers smell real
I think doctor doom will be in the scarlet witch’s life and maybe wanda will also be in the fantastic four
@@lowkeyxdamian what makes you think that?
@@chasethemaster3440 dr doom and Wanda dated in the comics for a while but it wasn’t really that significant so I doubt it
@Jerimiah Holden Couldn't agree more, I think ScreenCrush misinterpreted that bit.
@@lowkeyxdamian didn't Wanda die in this movie tho? when she destroyed the mountain?
A cool easter egg you missed had to do with Disney history
When Wanda daywalks we see the kids watching a black and white show, that show is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Meaning in this universe Oswald was not replaced with Mickey Mouse.
Someone else noticed!! Yay
@@oversizedmochalatte2607 it was indeed a cool ass easter egg :D
dreamwalks* great catch
I kept saying Daywalks versus Dreamwalks... my Virgoan husband pointed out- This is not Blade LOL.
Great great catch!!!👏🧐
I think another easter egg is when Wanda is chasing Strange, America, and Christine; it is quite similar to the hedge maze scene in The Shining. She's even limping.
True
Good one.
Shout out to Sam Raimi for making this movie genuinely scary. The scene where black bolt implodes his own head was brutal, all in all I was liking the Sam raimi horror I hope he stays with marvel for more projects
this isnt scary, just brutal
@@youleq3968 yes just like Deadpool but more serious. I really didn't feel the scary at all
@@youleq3968 the way Wanda chased after Strange, Chavez, and Rachel (I think. don’t really care about her character) seemed straight out of a classic horror movie. The way she came out of the reflection was also top tier.
@@Athenasblaze agreed. Wanda chasing them reminded me of the ring. There's a lot of shock horror too reminiscent of Raimi's signature style
Forced spaghettiing of Mr Fantastic was more brutal.
After watching this film and seeing the things that Wanda was willing to do in order to get her kids back, I now understand why this film came out on Mother’s Day weekend. The lengths that some mothers will go for their kids is astonishing. Her heart was in the right place but the execution wasn’t.
Multiverse Of Madness... M O M ;)
Yeah man this hit the second the credits went off
M(multiverse) O(f) M(adness). I cackled real good
What the fuck, killing other people is okey because she wants to live with imaginary children born out of another tyranical methods of enslaving people around her? World Has gone terribly mad
Also the Roe v Wade situation
Executions! 😂😂😂😂 She did a lot of those!
This is just speculation of course but I think we can attribute Strange's determination to save America Chavez to Spiderman being a good influence on him. We know the other versions of him were on board with sacrificing her for the greater good. But post No Way Home Dr. Strange was willing to risk everything to save one life and trust that she could find a solution to this problem herself. I'd like to think it's because he recently witnessed another young hero do the same thing.
this!! enfp ppl (peter parker) always influence intj personality type (doctor strange) in a positive way
Yes this Strange learned to let go of that "must follow the grand calculations" mindset
Does that mean he secretly did not delete his memory of Peter Parker?
@@HuongTran-jg7tw from the way Strange and Wong talk about him with America I think they've forgotten who Spiderman really is, but not what he did or what he gave up.
@@HuongTran-jg7tw I think it he did forget Peter, but the change of worldview remained subconsciously with him.
We needed the Watcher in this film. He needs to start doing cameos in each film like Stan Lee
I kept looking in the background to try and find him lol
Tbh this would've worked nicely yea
FR ! even if he was just watching in the sky would be dope
@@rickyticas5938 Imagine if man was just like: aw Jesus, these idiots are gonna cause some problems 😐
I was waiting for him
So strange how people can watch a movie and have a totally different experience. But such is life I suppose. I absolutely adored this movie, one of my favourite marvel movies for sure.
I loved ALL Marvel movies & Disney+, including Eternals & Hawkeye (LOVE Moon Knight right now).
This movie felt like a filler instead of thriller.
As it's own fun horror romp & action flick, it's sort of a satisfying mess, but to grow the ongoing narrative within the MCU (& for the WandaVision storyline) it's like HUH?
Just feels like a badly written comic book movie.
I LOVE Strange & Wanda but I wasn't even emotionally drawn in.
Definitely needed more quiet moments, like 10-15 more minutes. There was no soul. & magic needs SOUL.
Worst marvel movie yet lol
@@Jumpoable true but for me the biggest problem with this movie was their wasn’t as much multiverse because they only had 2 main universes they went to instead of a lot more also all the other multiverse stuff was only 30-40 seconds so it’s not that much multiverse
@@Jumpoable you thought externals was fire lmaooo
@@marcobarrueta3409 yeah that automatically rules their opinion null and void 😂
Anyone else remember when Strange says he has “Photographic Memory”….. even though Wanda destroyed the DarkHold in every universe Strange literally has it photographed in his memory. So he can recreate it very simply. So all I can imagine is the next film involving Strange will be others going after him to try and get that power since he may be the only one to actually have it memorized 🤷🏼♂️
This kinda made strange overpowered
Only if Strange looked through the entire Darkhold and not only through the pages he needed.
Yes i remember
The dark hold was written by an all powerful being the book is more like a tome it holds the power the words don’t mean anything without the power at least this is how it worked in the comics it’s the same as the other book and with the book and temple all being destroyed that “power” is lost
@@asdjkk1297
🤣True
Great breakdown as always. The one thing I saw you didn't mention - in the rubble when Xavier is trying to free Wanda, there is TV and it is playing the first ep. of WandaVision
Definitely didn't notice that. I'll have to look for it when I watch again in the theater.
Figured that one was obvious! On par with “if you look carefully when America says she’s eating pizza, you can see the pizza is ball-shaped.”
@@brianbaker1700 I suppose. I generally don't notice stuff like that the first time I'm watching something. I'm definitely more into the story and especially in that moment feeling the emotions than I am looking for Easter Eggs and the like.
That scene was cool
Proff X realizing how to break Wandas spell was so cool
also when the red fog is rolling in, the air raid siren from her childhood memory is heard.
Arguably my favourite marvel movie now. That music note fight scene was so good. And that moment when Wanda broke the fourth wall. Gave me chills
Made me think of Disney influence of either Fantasia or Donald Duck 3D ride at Disney world (Mickey’s Philharmagic).
I think the music note fight was very creative and innovative, but also kinda corny and unnecesary
what moment did she break the first wall
@@ToMAhawKSlIp when 616 wanda possess 838 wanda in the first time
5/10
The third eye only has one connection to the Darkhold for Strange, him using the grimoire to stop Wanda awoke the third eye, its not a remnant of the Darkhold energy. It means Strange has finally truly awoken, and yes "knowing evil" is a part of a Sorcerer's journey. Reminds me of a few lines from the Kybalion.
That book sounds really interesting. I'll definitely check it out
@@fishraposo7192 As above, so below, as below, so above. Principle of correspondence. Yeah Excellent book with some interesting philosophy. Its freely available on google books and many other places. Printed I think some places its fairly cheap.
Well said
Thanks for explaining. I was like so he has 3 eyes now so he is evil. But ur explanation is better😅
@@yikesyikes5974 I've seen a few other channels talking and pointing out both sides, some say it is "evil" energy and other's say its not. But yeah, in a lot of mystic manuscripts and paintings wise masters are depicted with that 3rd eye.
I think there were two fourth wall breaks - both with characters looking straight into the camera.
The first was when 616 Wanda had possessed her 838 counterpart and she looked into the camera as if to say 'I'm in control now.'
Secondly, in the final post credits scene, Bruce Campbell's Pizza Poppa looks straight at the audience when shouting 'It's over!'
That was the attitude Wanda conveyed but it wasn't an acknowledgment of the audience so not really a 4th wall break but close. Bruce's totally was 4th wall
I think Bruce's 4th Wall break was a quick nod to Ferris Beuller and Deadpool.
best post credits scene ever. worth it.
My son just told me of this term recently
Professor X even looked at the camera a little when he first entered Wanda’s mind.
I genuinely got scared by some of the jumpscare scenes and I loved it, it’s so different from the other movies.
It's Marvel with a splash of horror.
Yeah those jumps scares got me too.
Same here and it didn’t help that I watched it in 4DX and my seat shook 😭
It's way scarier than New Mutants!
This movie was unapologetically Raimi and love it! And did anyone notice that one of the dimensions Strange and Chavez pass through looked futuristic but had Mysterio's drones flying by. At least it looked like of his drones.
Yeahh saw that on another movie breakdown channel, but those are actually stark drones🎯 lol
@@kto.levell4567 yeah the new rockstars video
It was odd that Charles was dressed as Steve Jobs in Wanda's mind. But it was cool that we visually saw Charles using his telepathy like how in No Way Home we saw Spidey's tingle around his head or in Aquaman how he talks to fish.
I thought it was weird too but then u have to realize hes an old man, that was style back in his day. And remember when strange asked reed "did u guys chart in the 60s?" I would argue that he looks a little like a 60s singer
@@isaiahcooper203 Look up the band the Fantastic Four
LMAO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
It was almost identical to the effect they used for Charles Xavier in Legion season 3. Just happened to watch that episode the day before i saw MoM.
That was always how Xavier would appear in astral form during the 90's.
He was wearing it the whole time he was Onslaught. James McEvoy wore it in Dark Phoenix. It's the character's second most iconic look.
To be honest I'm a bit disappointed Ryan didn't pick up on it.
In the scene where Black Bolt kills Illuminati Strange, Mr. Fantastic has some blue fabric draped over his arms, presumably Illumnati Strange’s cloak since he is not wearing it when killed. Later on, after 616 Strange’s cloak is damaged, it gets patched up with blue fabric. Perhaps they used a section of Illuminati Strange’s blue cloak to fix it.
When Xavier is in Wanda’s head there is a tv playing WandaVision and he also refers to the trapped Wanda by her first name, almost as if they were friends. Maybe a nod to him knowing her because she is Magneto’s daughter in that universe?
😐
It's not impossible, if there are mutants there then most definitely Magneto exists and so do his kids. Wanda is in that universe and she has powers, is her brother alive too?
I was surprised there was no mention of Quicksilver in the movie. I figured searching for her brother would be a big part of a movie involving the universe. I thought he might be the one to convince her to stop what she was doing
@@marveloussentry would’ve been a cool way to bring him back and have a main speedster back in our universe (or at least on screen and more experienced than ultron version)
@@marveloussentry same with vision. aside from maybe 1 line i dont think hes mentioned or seen
Yesss! The Bruce Campbell cameo was expected for me cause of his history with Sam Raimi and the Spider-Man cameos, but as a lover of Evil Dead, I was even happier & surprised when his cameo involved his hand being possessed to beat himself up
Let’s be honest, though: if you were hitting yourself for three weeks, you’d be a bloody mess.
I came here JUST to say this.
Bruce hitting himself with his own possesed hand I pointed to the screen like OOOOH OOOOH OOOH! I’m the only one! Wtf!
exactly! and that thing with Black Bolt's mouth reminded me of Evil Dead too. If I'm not mistaken, the disappearing mouth happens briefly to Ash in one of the movies. Army of Darkness, I think?
Wanda’s destruction of Cthon’s tower was reminiscent of Sokovia, being risen and then falling. Meaning she couldn’t avoid her own ending. That the same actions she took and behaviors she had led to a similar outcome that this time, she could not escape thru her redemption.
She ain't dead
@@archerlangfield8189 I'm thinking we're getting a kind of reverse House of M. Instead of "no more mutants", Wanda's going to create mutants in 616 (yeah, come at me) in another attempt to create her kids
@@rickysprangle4523 I never once said she was. “Ending” is a turn of phrase for a description of her established character arc.
End? The girl is a nexus being she can’t die I mean she can but can be revived
With the X-men theme being used, it is surprisingly credited as “X-men ‘97 theme” rather than as the animated theme. Possible confirmation there that they will be using it in the upcoming series or at least the slightly redone version that was used here
I noticed this too! Pretty sure they realized we'd all go crazy if the original theme didn't make a comeback in some way.
I noticed this too. Good catch!
I saw that as well! I would assume they want to tie things to their future projects rather than just drop an Easter egg to a 30 year old tv show. Always be closing...
Professor X repeated his quote to Strange, "Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn’t mean they’re lost forever" from Days of Future Past
When Xavier goes into Wanda's mind while she's dream walking, there is a TV in the rubble. It was playing a black and white show, and I think it was the first episode of WandaVision playing.
It was. I saw that. Which kind of defeats that everybody says he was trying to save 838 Wanda. But Wandavision is from multiverse 616...so that was our Wanda's mind.
The apples also represented the temptation in the garden of Eden, and the turning water to wine was a clear reference to the wedding feast at Cana, again showing Starnge's messiah complex.
"A little too on-the-nose?"
YES. I'm glad I'm not the only Theology buff to catch that.
he didnt turn water into wine, he jsut filled her wine glass back up
And how about the water into wine at a wedding reference, Jesus’ first show of his power as the son of God. Seems like another nod to Christian theology, Strange’s god complex, and Adam and Eve were told that to become like god they had to eat of the tree of good and evil. Or perhaps more true to the original language and culture, good and bad (ref. Tim Mackie - The Bible Project).
@@paulkloostra there was no water in the glass. He just filled an empty glass with wine. He did the same thing with Thor's beer in another movie.
the blue patch on 616 strange's cloak is from the cloak of levitation of 838's strange. we see the blue cloak held by reed richards after black bolt kills strange and we see the patch on strange's cape after he gets it back.
Apologies if someone has already mentioned this in the comments but I'm fairly certain 838 Christine repaired 616 Strange's cloak with 838 Strange's; Reed Richards is holding the blue cloak of levitation during the flashback projected by Professor X of 838 Strange's death.
yes and as they are both sentient, I have SO MANY QUESTIONS
The Astral Planes visualization from Professor X was also a callback to how the Astral plane was portrayed (and also used by Professor X) in the FX series Legion
I really need to finish that show!
@@averycash9899 No, no you don't. It's an artsy chaos factory. Big deal.
Here's one that blew my mind (even if it wasn't on purpose):
During the boys' ice cream song, there is a 30's-era Mickey Mouse cartoon playing on the TV over their shoulder. Only...it wasn't Mickey and Minnie, but variations on their character designs. The character substitute for Minnie was a cat, and the substitute for Mickey was your mom.
Sorry I couldn't resist. Actually, he's a rabbit. This is reminiscent of Oswald, the Lucky Rabbit; Walt Disney's very first fleshed-out character creation. But he was rejected by the studio he worked for. Embittered, he re-worked the character and thus, Mickey Mouse was born. But Oswald still remained dear to Walt Disney, even if the character never endured.
This is significant, because Oswald signifies Mickey as he was meant to be...or rather Wanda as SHE was meant to be. And it stands in contrast in this scene with who she has compromised herself to become.
I 100% want Krasinski to keep playing Mister Fantastic.
Another other casting would be a huge disappointment. Marvel has one chance to get FF right after the sad history of bad movies. Recasting Reed and not using Krasinski would be the first nail in the coffin. They need to keep the guy
I think he really fits the role. I was not disappointed in his acting at all portraying Reed Richards.
Funny note....when I first heard Baxter in the movie......it got me thinking so hard.....hmmm where do I know Baxter from? It sounds so familiar. And then BOOM, seeing Reed appear reminded me of the Baxter Building in F4 with Chris Evans as The Human Torch.
Lmao
Same here. He was great!
I want John Krasinski to keep playing Reed Richards. Plus, when Dr. Strange talks about him being from the 60s means John is a modern day version of him in this universe. I think he will still play him. I also think they could do what they did in the Future Fight mobile game where they get lost in other dimensions. Then they meet/regroup and accidentally go to the future.
or maybe that was Marvels way of telling us that they won't be doing a modern F4
@@stevenyoung9473 interesting
@@stevenyoung9473 Based on what Jon Watts was Pitching, He wanted the F4 to be set in the 60s and then get trapped in the Negative Zone battling Annihilus or somewhere else but since he left direction the movie could go either ways
@@quzar3291 that already sounds dope
@@gavinbrewer7392 Indeed
The best outcome would be getting John to star in the F4 movie and also letting him direct it so he can come onboard without amy hesitation
Just realizing that when Strange gave up the time stone, the sequence he was enabling specifically took him out of the fight until someone else figured out time travel and defeated Thanos. IE, he was not insisting on holding the knife there - literally choosing non-existence and depending on others to save him.
The Darkhold was presented in the underrated and sadly ignored Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Damn, what a great show. Even if not canon, it's still worth a shot for every MCU fan, 'cause every season was lined up with the movies events.
Loved agents of shield truly underrated
Yes, featuring Ghost Rider. AOS is so underrated that they have this FITZSIMMONS love team. Their love story is greater than every romantic movies. HAHA
YES! I was surprised he didn't mention this in the video. I was really hoping for a Ghost Rider cameo in the movie.
This movie proves AoS is canon in the MCU.
The first time Wanda dreamwalks to see her kids (the "I want more ice cream scene"), the cartoon playing on the TV is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald was Walt Disney's original creation, but he lost the rights to Universal, and had to create the character of Mickey Mouse so that he could keep making cartoons. Disney re-aqcuired the rights in 2006, which is why they could use the short in this movie. It was a quick symbol to show that this was a universe that was familiar, but where slightly different decisions had been made.
EDIT: It might also be foreshadowing to a number of the members of the Illuminati being characters the MCU didn't originally have the rights to.
That's some obscure sh** right there! Props from Walt's childhood town in MO.
I took the apple orchard as a reference to Snow White, which is also playing in the Westview scene in the film.
She is the witch, attempting to corrupt Strange with a poisoned apple - bring America to her and reality will be safe.
I loved Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness because it was dark and different from other movies in the MCU. Also, completely loved when Professor Xavier in his Yellow Hoverchair came out to the 90s X-men cartoon theme. I had to explain who Clea was after the movie to other people in the theater.
Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but...
Didn't they make a huge point in WandaVision about how Wanda is a "Nexus Being?" Maybe I totally misinterpreted that, but I took it to mean that there was only ONE of her in the multiverse, not a separate version in each reality. This movie made that the case for America Chavez, but I was surprised there were other Wandas out there...
i feel like the scarlet witch is the one that’s a nexus being versus wanda herself, when we saw the other wandas they seemed to live happier lives with their kids, never having grown as powerful as our wanda
@@crystallopez8824 yea your 100% right
Each universe has their own Nexus being. So yeah, there are multiple Wanda’s in the multiverse, but only one of them is a nexus being for their universe. The one we saw her dreamwalk into has a different nexus being for that universe.
In the comics, other nexus beings include Kang, Odin, and even Vision is one.
@@Michelle-kq7ic A nexus being is someone who only exists as one individual in the entire multiverse.
My
At the end when Clea appears and opens a portal, I thought it looked like the same dark space that Dormarmu lives.
Just a random theory, since we all know that Elizabeth Olsen had her contract extended, I bet she'll have her own solo movie in the future. Spoiler for those who haven't seen the movie yet, but at the end, when Wanda tried commiting suicide, we see a sudden burst of Chaos Magic. What if, she's still alive, and was actually saved by Chton himself? Realizing how powerful Wanda has become after embracing her Scarler Witch entity, he now wants to wreak havoc on Earth or even the Multiverse by possessing Wanda. And there was this scene in Mount Wundagore where one of the evil-looking demons suddenly conjured Chaos Magic, but was killed by Wong. What if it's actually Chton after feeling that Wanda went to Mount Wundagore?
I didnt know they extended contract but when I saw the red burst I knew she went somewhere else.
@@Silverobots true, I mean, yeah that was a big boulder of rocks but seeing Wanda deflects the Eldritch Magic in Kamar Taj, she probably survived it.
Yaaaaaaaaassssss Witch.
Has that story about the contract actually been confirmed? All I have seen is rumors, and I feel like the end of this movie is the end of her character. I wonder.
I really wanted to see her more, but I feel like the development of her on wandavision were lost. I want a hero movie of her, her other side, because in the comics there's so many good stories of her, not only the House of M. If they use the argument that this wanda were on the influence of the darkhold could be a redemption arc.
I like that you compared the dark hold to the ring of power, because that was exactly the vibe I was getting from it. It can take good people and turn them evil by simply being in their presence, and the more powerful a person is, the more destructive they can be with it
When Wanda said ‘I opened the Darkhold, now I have to be the one to close it’ and sacrificed herself to fix what she caused after a realization without any fist-fighting reminded me of ‘Spider-man 2’ when Doctor Octopus sacrificed himself saying something similar.
Hi Ryan. Great video. Just want to add a couple of easter eggs that you missed:
1. When Charles was in the astral dimension trying to free the Earth-838 Wanda from the Earth-616 Wanda, there was a black and white TV playing the first episode of WandaVision.
2. Charles had faith in the Earth-616 Strange even tho Mordo did not and Charles expressed it by saying, “Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, doesn’t mean they will be lost forever.” which was previously said in the Days of the Future Past.
And, for the sake of accuracy, the other Sanctums are in Hongkong and London, not China and London :-)
You know Hong Kong is IN China right?
The part where wanda said the "hex was easy, lying was hard" didn't meant that she was lying to vision it meant that she was having a hard time lying to strange. At least that's what I have gotten.
This film is a directorial treat
It's artistic, pushes creative boundaries, amazing vision and spot on execution
Amazing how he got most out of benedict Cumberbatch and elizabeth olsen
Also did a great job with music
💯
I thought the half blood splatters on Wanda represented that there's two Wanda's in that body. The bloody half is our Universe's Wanda who's going on this tear killing everyone and tainted by the Darkhold and the clean half is that universe's Wanda who is still good and is untainted by the Darkhold
Yeah but the Zombie version was OP vs the Illumanati, and boss heroes but got tossed around by evil Wanda not even raginig to protect her kids, that was a bit off imho, but pretty good movie. I want Kang now....
That's a good one!
@@ceasj23 that wasn’t her fighting the illuminati tho she was possessed by our wanda 💀
Precisely my thought.
And the good Wanda that the Scarlet Witch possessed was already super lethal and strong power-wise (it was her power that rampaged the Illuminati 😬).
Imagine if she wishes to do right, make up for the brutality, and take over as hero Wanda again.
@@treysniper True. 616 Scarlet Witch somehow unlocked her true power when she possessed 863(?) Wanda.
Loved this movie! That fight scene between the 2 Stranges(the one with the music notes) was beautiful, and very creative. It’s the first movie I’ve seen in theaters in years, and it was definitely worth it.
Was laughing to myself watching thst wondering if the stranges just thought it would be good banter to fight each other with musical notes and rolled with it
OMg yes!! I loved that scene!!
That part was cringe
I was so worried for Cowman. He just does not look very quick on his feet or hooves. Or whatever
I think that in wandavision wanda didn't completely know that she had rewrriten the reality of an whole town with actual people in it. Her consciousness knew to some extend that the whole thing wasn't real and was created by her but she decided to ignore that and believe what she wanted to because of which she didn't believe she was hurting people until she came out of the hex because of the missile. But even after that she wanted to and continued living in the false belief that she was not hurting people because she had sacrificed a lot more and deserved this. But vision brought out the side of her consciousness which knew she was hurting others. We see the same thing happen in multiverse of madness as without vision the dark hold had consumed her and again brought out the side which believed she had made many sacrifices and should be with her kids without caring about hurting other people. The dark hold to some extent knew that wanda wasn't completely evil and would not do this if she had actually realised what she was doing, so the evil of the dark hold reassured her by keeping on saying that she wasn't a monster. Until she met the wanda of another universe which like vision made her aware of her good side
I think it was more that she didn't think how horrible what she was doing really was through. She felt like she was playing house with life-sized Barbies at first. By the time she started thinking it through she was already in too deep and just let herself go with the illusion because the lie was the life she wanted
I believe a spotted The Watcher during the 2nd end scene... when the screen went black and lightning strikes.. there was the outline of the Watcher standing ominously in the top right corner!
I just got back from the cinema AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! It was way more graphic than I expected and the jumpscares were exquisite. I also loved Wanda in this movie. I suppose the animation goes without saying but it was incredible
To any of you wondering why the monsters didn't attack scarlett witch at the temple... she had the high ground.
Zombie Dr strange be like:
don't understimate my power
Small thing; When America kicks rubble down onto the tentacle beast from the crumbling building, the piece shatters into the shape of a star. I think that it's an early hint of very fine (if unintentional) control over her powers
I love how this movie showed that two of the strongest books in magic are just ordinary books. It's the contents that make them so powerful. Light and Dark magic are always present in the universe. All it needs to do is be channelled. And that's what those two books do. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I haven't seen Wanda vision. But they treated the Darkhold as if it was the Necronomicon from Evil Dead, a sentient book bound in human flesh, written blood, and powered by the souls of the deceased.
But it wasn't that. Just a book of written spells in a fancy case.
The books themselves are harmless. It's the contents that are dangerous. As long as the knowledge to use those particular spells exists in some form, the power will always be there.
And thanks to Stevens photographic memory, he's now a walking Darkhold.
Seeing Jim from The Office as Reed Richards and hearing the orchestra version of the X-Men cartoon theme playing when Charles Xavier appears was the greatest moment I've ever experienced watching a Marvel movie, a better moment than Endgame. Bite me!
Only for em to get killed a few minutes later
You miss the Savage Lands, the part where Strange and America go through the portals with the dinosaurs. Savage Lands has a connection to XMen
Reptil is coming !!!
Ashes's car from Evil Dead is floating in the evil dr. Stange reality and the post credit scene with Bruce Campbell shows a fork sticking up which was the same one he used in Army of Darkness to kill the mini Ashes running around
Just watched it , this movie was sick dude went in with no spoilers enjoyed every moment 💪
I was hoping they'd do a reference to the Scarlet Witch being Magneto's daughter, etc, when Xavier went into her mind but I guess the MCU isn't ready for all that yet
Exactly
What did you think of the movie?
It sucked
It was lots of fun, probably one of my favorite ones yet. I'm glad they took a dark turn, it made the story feel so much more raw and emotional
Fantastic but not perfect 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑
I love your dog
Loved every second of it
Reed Richards' teleportation fx looks extremely near to a TVA door, it could be a really really early version of a time door being just a space door.
Remember the connection between Kang and Mr fantastic
I love that Wong doesn't "grand calculus" the death of all the surviving students and accompanies Wanda instead. The end of WAndaVision, I didn't think she was being tempted w/ reunion but manipulated to rescue them with the cries of "Mom help"
I like how Reed's teleporter is fairly similar to the TVA's since Kang is his descendant
Kang is his grandson right?
@@carlz3955 I think it's more like great great great etc. Grandson, but yes, he's Nathaniel Richards
@@carlz3955 Mhm! basically what Benri said since Kang was born in the 31st century
Unless I misunderstood what you were saying, I think you got confused: The version of Wanda that Professor X goes to help is HIS universe's version. OUR Wanda has taken over THAT Wanda, and so he's not trying to save OUR Wanda from the Darkhold; he's trying to pull HIS world's Wanda out to take her body BACK, so he can save HIS universe from OUR Wanda. Got it?
Great movie! One thing worth mentioning is that 838 Strange had a blue Cloak of Levitation, as held by Reed Richards on their Titan. 616 Strange's damaged red cloak was later patched up with a blue piece. So, I am deeply saddened that somewhere in Earth 838 is Strange's blue cloak flying around with a hole in it. :-(
I doubt it. The cloak of levitation chooses its sorcerer. It’s sentient so it will find another companion don’t worry :)
@@jakeman025 The point I was making was that it now has a hole in it.
Assuming it is still around and not just destroyed and cannibalized for 616 Strange's cloak
@@AdiAfendi yup and I’m saying as long as it’s still sentient it will choose another sorcerer and that person will patch up the hole no doubt.
When I was in the theater I remember thinking “I love how we can have a random Minotaur now and not question it”
I loved the movie so much, Sam Reymi did a great job, especially the way it was filmed
*Raimi
Another Easter Egg: When he dies, Professor X puts his fingers towards his forehead, and we can kind of see the brainwaves coming out of his head, ressembling a scene from the '97 cartoon that became a meme
11:58 pretty sure the "hex was easy, lying is hard" line refers to her keeping up the illusion of the orchard (the hex, as in an actual spell) while she was talking to Strange, and then her acting like she doesn't know who America is/much about the multiverse (the lie). Strange catches her lying when she slips and mentions America's name before Strange did. Right?
Still a great video tho cannot emphasize that enough!
That was my impression also
My thoughts exactly.
I think she meant lying to herself that it was real. She wanted to believe it was real, but there's moments in every episode when it breaks and you can see that she knows she's lying to herself. People lie to themselves all of the time, mostly about little things, like "diet starts tomorrow!" but that was a big one.
This is correct
@@fracturedfingers no she definitely was talking about the orchard. The topic of Westview was dropped entirely in that conversation
Glad I got to meet Sean Chandler. My movie thoughts:
Visuals and horror theme are stunning.
Character performances were great, Chavez was a great addition. Humor, writing, pace were out of place.
Sam raimi knocked it out of the park
8/10.
The ending threw me off. I was like "holy shit what the fuck". I still have nightmares.
We all agree: Wanda is a fucking SAVAGE! She tore through the Illuminati like a knife through a stick of butter. This movie was SCARY AND GORY! I LOVED IT!
yeah I agree 100000% and I love Villan Wanda
Still have nightmares?! It just came out lol
@@LeftHandedRightHanded hahah
If you think this is scary and gory, then you would need therapy after watching Deadpool and Logan. 😂
In the fight between Strange and 838 Mordo, there's a callback to Strange training w/Mordo in the 1st Strange movie. Strange exits the trench where he's fighting 838 Mordo using fancy footwork, and Mordo could easily do the same IF Mordo had the Vaulting Boots of Valtorr like he did in the 1st movie, as seen when Strange trains with Mordo. In that scene in the 1st Strange movie, Mordo tells Stephen, "Trust your teacher" (meaning, the ancient one). Stephen's escape from the trench in this movie shows that he did trust Mordo as a teacher, at least, he learned a thing or two from Mordo, which gives him an advantage over 838 Mordo, like a "the student becomes the master" type of thing. Stephen goes on to learn a thing or two about himself by trusting 838 Christine and America.
In the movie when Steven and Christine are in the reality that's been destroyed by the incursion (seen in your breakdown at 26:41 ) you can see Sam Raimi's Oldsmobile Delta 88 that can be seen in many of his movies floating and twisting in a static position.
I thought so..
When doctor strange and sinister strange were fighting, sinister strange's magic was purple just like agatha harkness'es magic is also purple and Agatha used the dark hold just like sinister strange
The same technology Reed Richards used to teleport is the same as The TVA in Loki used by Nathaniel Richards AKA He Who Remains AKA Kang the Conqueror
This movie had so many funny parts. The part where everybody was wondering what creepy sounding shadow was coming down the stairs and it was just Dr strange. Everybody in the theater busted up laughing. The hardest part was trying so hard not to laugh at Zombie Strange when he was giving his motivational speech but I finally broke down when he told America Chavez "No not yet!" when Wanda wanted America to send her back to her universe when her children from another universe saw what kinda of a person she had became.
no i saw it with my roommates and we were smack dab in the middle of the theater. we all were laughing and i had to stop looking bc it was so ridiculous
I liked, "the guy with a fork on his head."
@Geff Joldblum exactly lol
@@ruthiebee11 lol same here. Me and my girl were laughing too hard at that part I was like I have to be quiet I'm messing up the moment
The Darkhold was also heavily featured in season 4 of Agents of SHIELD. It's said that the book looks different to everyone who sees it and dives more into how powerful its control can be. I think more people would be accepting of Wanda's "villain" arc after seeing that season.
But how come it didn't corrupt Strange as much? I didn't get that.
@@4chao1999 wdym? He literally opened his third eye.
@@4chao1999 it did. The third eye showed that, but we haven't seen the repercussions yet.
@P that would be because wanda had been using the darkhold much longer than the couple of minutes that doctor strange did
I just wanna know how it didn't effect Agatha as much as it did Wanda when she had clearly had it longer.
Fun Fact: When Black Bolt kills Strange with a whisper. If you listen closely, you can hear him say "I am sorry". This is Black Bolt apologizing to Dr Strange that Wong was using a magical rope as a rope to climb up a mountainside.
Wong is Soccer Supreme. da bestest
The bee always made me think of the hexagonal shape of honey comb. The bee biting America was supposed to mirror Wanda “biting” America, symbolizing America starting all of this and eventually leading to the redemption and demise of Wanda. Although the butterfly effect is pretty cool.
When Strange and Christine are in the broken universe of sinister stangre, has anyone else seen the streaks of light that look like the tracks of a speedster? am i the only one noticing this?
I noticed that as well
How no one has pointed out Bruce Campbell burning his face as a nod to Army of Darkness is beyond me.
I don’t know about everyone else’s experience watching this film in the theaters, but my theater erupted in cheers when we saw John Krasinki as Mr. Fantastic.
I’ve always loved John from constant re-runs of the Office [when it was] on Netflix, to 13 Hours, to A Quiet Place. I think he did a great job as Mr. Fantastic. It was a shame to see him and the other members of the Illuminati go so quickly and easily to Wanda, but Wanda held back Thanos with one hand while having a mental breakdown whilst killing Vision in Infinity War. I’d love to see a F4 film and see where they could go with it, whether Reed got stuck in that universe and was never able to get back or just what happened in his universe entirely.
Killing them off worked well I think, as the actors are now canon. We got to see that Wanda does not F around, and now we have character to see as variants down the road!
It was a wonderful set of cameos, without taking the spotlight for too much screen time.
Oh dude they're obviously heading towards Jonathan Hickmans avengers run with the incursions. There will be a reed from another universe involved for sure. He'll be back with the rest of 4. No doubt in my mind
The fight between Dr. Strange and Sinister Strange using "Musical Notes" was absolutely awesome!
I'm wondering why I haven't seen any mention of the magic used by Defender Strange in the beginning of this film? I feel like over the years the discussion of the color of a hero or villains power has been super prominent in these breakdowns. And in the very beginning of this film we literally see a type of magic/power that has never been shown in nearly 15 years of the MCU, yet every breakdown I've seen (not just yours) totally ignores it. It's white magic that is not only white, but creates fully three dimensional objects of magic and not just the flat, orange shield type magic we see from literally every other sorcerer in thr MCU so far. I don't pretend to know what it is, but I'd like to see a discussion about it, it's source, why and how it's different, etc. What do you think?
im pretty sure the lie and hex wanda refers to is the second one she made for her cabin/orchard space. this is why she changes the theme as she says that line.
This is what I think as well.
Adam Driver as Reed Richards
Kirby Howell-Baptistery as Sue Storm
John Boyega as Johnny Storm
Karl Urban as Ben Grimm
Some other Easter eggs
The Demons screaming sound effects around Zombie Strange are from Evil Dead 1 and 2
The Lamp swinging and falling in Wandas house is a nod to an Evil Dead Cabin scene.
Puddles of Water that Stephen told everyone to cover up reminds me of a scene from the first Evil Dead where reflections can be dangerous. A scene where Ash is attacked by his own reflection
Don't forget when Bruce Campbell's cameo and he got his hand pissed and started to attack himself, like in evil dead 2
How'd everyone miss the statue in Mt. Wundagore? It looks a lot like Von Doom.
When the book of Vishanti was burning, the page shown had a star in it like America Chevez's whole power. No idea if that was anything.
I noticed that too! I think maybe, the Book gave the heroes the power they needed to counter whatever threat they faced but they already had it. It was America's power that opened the portal to the twins at exactly the right time so that Wanda would see the errors of her ways and what she had become, repent, and redeem herself. Might be Wanda using a McGuffin to try and destroy a McGuffin like Thanos used the Stones to destroy the stones.
DOCTOR STRANGE in the Multiverse of Madness was definitely a bit different from the marvel universe... Definitely more gore in this film
The Ancient one will be happy that Dr. Strange finally opened his eye. Lol
I def want John to continue to play Reed Richards. Loved every second of him on screen and want to see the F4 storyline, whether Emily is included or not as IW.
If you look closely, in the pipe universe there is Stark Drone roaming around. Maybe somekind of Superior Ironman universe?
Screen Crush is the goat he is so fast with the exclusive Easter eggs let's gooo🔥🔥🔥🖤🐐💯
My big question now that the MCU has been designated as “616”: How did Mysterio get that right in Far From Home?!
@@dude-man I’m not saying it’s lame, and I’m not trying to say there’s any competition between which is better…simply just: How did Mysterio get it right?
Eric selvig got it right too.
Sort of an Easter egg is the fact that marvel released a movie about Wanda and being a mother on Mother’s Day weekend
Why Astral Plane? Why not just Xavier in her mind? It's a construct inside her mind - just as he alludes to it when he says that if he manages to pull her out, she'll regain control.
Vote no on Astral Plane.
That was what I was thinking too tbh. He was trying to free the mind of the other Wanda out from the rubble trying to give her back control of her body. But crazy Wanda snaps his neck before he can free her.
Exactly.... that was no plane. And what he saying but chthon being in control of Wanda, which would make no sense, because the darkhold temple was a temple for the scarlet witch. And that part of alone made no sense. Because are they changing things to make mephisto n chthon one in the same ?
You missed that restaurant at the beginning with the one eyed octopus was the same restaurant Doc Ock threw a car through in Spider-Man 2
Captain Carter fighting Scarlet witch "I can do this all day" another Easter egg I saw was Ash's car from evil dead floating when Christine and Dr Strange leave Evil Stranges universe.
