It didn’t even have to be a full rewrite, there could’ve easily been one extra montage showing Wanda using the Darkhold and then slowly being corrupted by the book. If you take away Monica Rambeau trying to repair Wanda’s image, “WandaVision” comes off more as a villain origin story.īut I do feel there should’ve been a clearer descent into madness. In fact, one of my main criticisms of “WandaVision” is that it tried to justify what Wanda was doing, when the show was really doing a great job at setting up Wanda as the next potential threat (she imprisoned a whole town to live out her fantasies, for fucks sake). First off, I’m absolutely in favor of this heel turn. Sam Raimi really just used the MCU in order to create another Evil Dead movie.ģ) If I had to make a criticism, it’d be the shift from Wanda being a hero to a villain.

See: Reed Richards is Useless trope.Ģ) I’ve already written about this, but I love how this movie was basically Evil Dead 4 / Army of Darkness 2. Plus, even though Strange warned him about MCU!Wanda, Reed didn’t have a reason to trust Strange, especially since his own Strange almost wiped out Earth-838.Īs a side note, Reed acting like an idiot while being called the “smartest man in the universe” feels on-brand for his character. If he only knew about his universe’s Wanda, then he just assumed she was this soccer mom with basic magic abilities.

In the movie’s defense, 838!Reed wasn’t aware of how dangerous MCU!Wanda was. Some thoughts on “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (late on this, but only because I was busy with finals):ġ) I know that people were mad that Reed Richards, the so-called “smartest man in the universe” acted like an idiot in the movie.
