Rarity posted:I think May Calamawy just dropped a clunker of a performance in her first episode. She was way better after that and Layla was a badass throughout Something I loved that I haven't seen mentioned were her silent CQC takedowns in the temple, from the last or second to last episode. Nice metal gear vibes, showed she could really hang with Marc the Merc.

stev posted:Yeah I really wasn't interested in seeing a character pull out some level 100 magic to beat level 99 Wanda. Her ending was an actual conclusion to her arc in the movie rather than a big beam fight. We got the big beam fight in Wandavision already. I also just like that her story started with a building falling on her and ended with her dropping a building on herself. She had to really fight through some poo poo to willingly do that. Especially because she could have probably gone outside and then dropped the building when she was perfectly clear.

Team Mysterio not only correctly predicted that the multiverse exists but they got their universe's code number correct. I assume that's just disjointed writing but it raises a lot of questions.

I think that it wasn't about wrecking the building or not just about that. If Wanda had just wanted to do that, then sure, she could have gone outside and done it. But Wanda's always been... ambitious. She stayed in the temple on the altar to establish a link from this world's Darkhold to every other universe's Darkhold. Then, when she destroyed this universe's Darkhold she destroyed all of them everywhere, ending its influence from that point forward in every reality. So, between Wanda and Zemo, forget messing with Texas. The one people you do not ever want to screw with are Sokovians, because they will get their own back and gently caress your bitch rear end up in the process.

tsob posted:If you go back and read the replies from around the end of WandaVision, quite a few people were calling that Wanda would be at least a temporary villain in Doctor Strange 2, with the expectation that she'd be tainted by the Darkhold but eventually realize the error of her ways in time to help Stevie against some bigger threat. So I think the problem is less "she's a villain", and more "she was a villain, resolved to do more and then backslide to be much, much worse off-screen and became the big villain". Which, given the sheer level of power she displayed in this movie I feel like Marvel should have had her be a big a multi-film villain that requires some major team ups to defeat if they're going to have her go all out and be so villainous. As is, it just kind of felt half hearted and disappointing really. Between the ending of Wandavision and the trailers that set her up to be the bad guy I was assuming the villain was going to be a Wanda variant that wanted to be reunited with her kids. There even might've have been a movie there where Wanda is on Steven's side but slowly corrupted by the promises of the other Wanda in the second act, but that doesn't really fit the pacing of what Raimi wanted, and might even hew a bit too closely to his other works.

I don't expect the movies to have a clearer or tighter continuity than the comics. That's like those people who get really mad that the Simpsons doesn't have this super tight continuity or consistent layout of the house.

Nobody should expect tight, consistent character writing for their comic book (inspired) media across different directors/writers.

I didn't watch the video, and wouldn't really be upset if it wasn't the case but it'd also be my assumption that they would; simply because there's way less movies, they all spend way longer in production and there seems to be a more coordinated effort to run them through a central authority i.e. Feige and/or whatever production team he has.

MoM's primary shooting schedule almost certainly happened long before WandaVision was released, why would he watch it? e: And no, the movie does not "hate Wanda," nor does it "want you to hate Wanda," people just say whatever the hell they want in here

“Efficient?” what? It’s 8 hours of TV, that’s a workday doing research for your $200 million dollar movie! It’s not like he has to physically go to Kamar Taj and study the mystic arts, he could knock that out in a plane ride.

Sure, it isn't that many hours, but you can get the relevant information across in cliff notes just fine. If the new Strange movie is wildly inconsistent, that means they don't even have a catch up routine in place, which will only become a bigger and bigger problem as the MCU grows.

The post was “Raimi said he never watched WandaVision” which is different than “I was suddenly told halfway through writing this movie it was a sequel to WandaVision and THEY GAVE ME SOME STUFF TO WATCH”, two very different descriptions of the situation.

Saw the movie, loved it and how Raimi it was. I just rewatched the two Terminator movies and immediately picked out that the Illuminati robots were using the plasma rifle sound effect. And that zombie Strange and the Souls of the Damned were literally Deadites down to the voices.

This movie and the discussion around it reminds me of Wright's quote about how he wanted to make a Marvel movie but Marvel didn't want to make a Wright movie. Marvel made a better Raimi movie than vice versa.

Michael Waldron and Jac Schaeffer became friends while writing Loki and WandaVision and Waldron says that he bounced ideas off of Schaeffer while he was working on MoM, so all of this angst about how much WandaVision Raimi did or didn't watch while making MoM seems a little, uh, unnecessary.
