THE MARVELS (2023) dir. Nia DaCosta

Not me thinking about how Green had always been the colour associated with Time in the Marvel Universe since the beginning :)

What If S2 episode 8 live action

[strangerpsychofficeparks]

Idk I just go feral when the Plot necessitates the main character going back to the same point in time in order to beat the bad guy. It's like Groundhog Day, but the entire universe is at stake. Bonus points the angrier the villain gets at the hero's annoyingly indomitable spirit.

Never before have I unironically used the phrase Mary Sue, but what they did with Carter in this final episode was just fucking nuts man. Kohhori was cool, I like her, but giving Carter every fucking major weapon in the canon? And then having the fucking WATCHER?? Jump in with that “it couldn’t have been me, it had to be you” fucking bullshit? She is not all that, marvel.

But you wanna know who is???

FUCKING STRANGE SUPREME.

I cannot FUCKING believe they made the most profoundly powerful iteration of a character, just to fucking throw him in the waste bin when it turned out people were way more interested in what he had going on than what Carter was doing.

There was no reason they couldn’t have made her interesting without nerfing everyone else, except that they don’t fucking know how apparently because marvel is fucking trash these days…

Seriously, there are two big ways to ruin any interest people have for a character you plan to make the face of a show/arc/phase. One, shove them in every episode and keep forcing them into plots where people don’t want them. Two, fucking killing off better characters for taking up the limelight! Look, I like the idea of Strange fighting the amalgamation of his grief, but there’s no reason he should have died over it, especially when Carter is in the same boat. This episode would have been way better if we got rid of the forced high stakes, and just had two characters suffering the same kind of grief talk it out with each other, find a way to heal, maybe by leaning on each other a little bit. They are unique in the sense that they are always lost in time, struggling to find their place.

Marvel used to capitalize on character moments like these, use them to build up their characters and give them some sense of home to keep them moving forward as heroes. Now they just kill off characters around their current Big Cheese to keep the focus on them. When did this become storytelling? When did this become cinema?

I’m fucking tired of marvel’s shit man, and I want Strange Supreme back…

What... what just happened?... I- WHAT???

(spoilers for WHAT IF finale down the cut. Read at your own risk.)

WTF WAS ALL THAT????

I was fearing that marvel would make him the villain and reversing his arc but this???

First he wasnt even the main hero in his own episode (but what is new with Strange, we´ve been here before, right?)

He was indeed the villain, they completely reverse his arc, they kept him obsessed w Christine (again with this???) possesed by Demon Strange, they killed him, and made him as he never was even born???

There was a moment when i though well, Peggy is gonna help him separate from the Demon, he said that thing was in control! we´re gonna see a debilitated Strange and he´s gonna be ok again...right? but no.

He´s not even coming back, is he?? Strange Supreme is over.

And unless they came up with another Strange version, Benedict wont return to voice him for the new season.

The Strange run in What if is over?? Was he such a good damn character for his own good to keeping him alive??

I´m so mad and so tired of this.

So Wanda “I’m a parable for women’s mental health struggles” Maximoff indeed committed suicide on screen. Wanda “half my backstory is that my dad is one of the most famous Jewish characters in comics & all my kids are queer” Maximoff did in fact spend an entire film losing her mind, hunting gay children, being accused of making up several of said children, and then fully losing hope and committing suicide.

Whereupon she was crushed to death.

Died by “blunt force trauma.”

Her magic (assumedly) teleported her to the woods outside Westview as she died, so that crazy amnesiac Agatha Harkness could find her corpse.

The Avengers didn’t go and find Wanda’s body. They Left Her. As a Jane Doe. Alone. In the Woods.

And our only hopes of getting her back are Agatha’s ambition, or a resurrected Billy figuring out who he really is, going rogue and trying to save her soul himself.

I’m glad Jac Schaefer (who is apparently Wanda’s cleanup writer now) is facing the horror head on. Because she’s right—it was horrifying (though not for the reasons Waldron & Raimi thought).

But nothing could have prepared me.

Nothing.

i hope that Doctor Stephen Strange knows that the being he once let fall for 30 straight minutes because he forgot about him is now holding all of the threads of the multiverse together.

Latino bilingual person done right in the MCU!

Holy Shit, I’ve been so shocked by how much attention my last post got (for some reason), I completely forgot to realize that Jack Russell actually has realistic Bilingualism! I made a previous about it being done weirdly in Strange 2: MoM with America so I won’t talk about her writing issues here, just check out the last post I did about her, But I will cover how Jack Russel was written right or at least better in comparison: Unlike how America switches between languages with seemingly no reason and unnaturally (A.K.A reacting in English but then deciding to speak Spanish to people with native English speakers for no reason. Seriously, Is her first language English or Spanish? Etc.) ; You can immediately tell that Spanish is his native language and at the same time understand that he’s fluent and natural with English without causing confusion or leaning into stereotypes! Like how he usually talks English but when he’s talking or muttering to himself he speaks Spanish (therefore hinting that he thinks in his native language). He also inserts Spanish words naturally in his conversation; using a Spanish word that specifically means something akin to hired sadistic hitmen/goons when talking about the monster hunters. He doesn’t just randomly say it but actually seems to say it because there’s no perfect translation for that word he knows from the top of his head. His Spanish SLIPS into his English, Like an actual Latino who know English too! So Happy about this :’). America’s Bilingual Dialogue felt like it was written by someone who didn’t know much about how Bilingual people talked but this Halloween Special with a guy named after a cute dog got it perfect and I appreciate that.

[Ironically, Please excuse any writing mistakes in this post, I wrote it write before  going to sleep. Lol]

Hands down the biggest fumble of What If season 2 was not letting it be Wanda who teamed with Kahhori to fight Supreme Strange instead. Not only would it have been a cool twisted reversal of Multiverse of Madness, we could've also gotten the magic showdown of the century between two of the most powerful beings in the multiverse. Like they would've ate so bad.

[itsladyliv]

i am SPEECHLESS™

So I watched Deadpool & Wolverine, and while I absolutely enjoyed it with all the cameos and nods to all the Fox productions I have one thing to say:

Deadpool & Wolverine falls into the same trap all current Marvel movies do. It's a movie about the Deadpool Extended Universe, not the Deadpool Character.

First it’s dust, now everyone and everything is turning to spaghetti

What the heck, Marvel
