I can't say I really care about a sequel to much.

You and me both. Dr Strange 1 was just a shittier Iron Man 1 aping the visuals from Inception. Not offensively bad, but just aggressively mediocre. Made 10x worse by absolutely wasting Mads Mikkelson on a complete nothing villain.

I saw Dr. Strange this morning. Bruce Campbell was the best part of the whole film. Stay until the end of the credits.

If you go and see it, read a summary of the Wandavision show or you'll have no idea what's going on.

I can't believe they spoiled the fucking Illuminati in the trailer, especially Professor X.
Mr. Fantastic
Peggy Carter Captain America
Monica Rambeau as Captain Marvel (better than Brie)
Professor X (they play the X-Men cartoon theme lololol)
Baron Mordo
Black Bolt

Oh yeah, Charlize Theron shows up at the end in a purple coat. No idea who she was supposed to be.

So they really do the "watch several hours TV show to understand what happens", which was one of the few good things the franchise had left.
Also god damnit I always wanted an X Men to play that theme. Not a Marvel film wearing it's skin.

It was generic as fuck Marvel with shitty visuals that makes fights more nauseating than fun. It was the first big casualty of Marvel films taking themselves with 0 seriousness.

What could possibly be needed to know from Wandavision at this point? I didn't watch it, but I know Scarlett Witch lost her shit, warped reality, and that they cloned/created a new Vision.

Do I need to know some dumb bullshit about Sword or the witch she fights or something?

IMO, he actually deserves it. If Captain Pick-crack wants to destroy his legacy roles, then it's fine by me.

Much like how Patrick Stewart wants to undo everything great about his TNG role, he seems to want to undo the heartfelt send-off Charles Xavier got in Logan.

I guess the MCU still has James McAvoy to keep destroying milking the character.

So I have a few questions (I don't mind spoilers so you can be as in depth as you want):

-Do we get a Wolverine or Deadpool cameo?
-None of the spidermen are in this right?
-From what I've seen Wanda looks like the main antagonist, does a "bigger and badder" antagonist shows up so she can look good in comparison?

Ok, who was the biggest talent wasted by the MCU?
  • Mads Mikkelsen, which is hilarious because he is mainly known in Denmark as a comedic actor?
  • Sam Neill, because Taika Waititi felt like it?
  • Idris Elba, who spent more time in the makeup and costume departments than in five movies?
  • Benicio del Toro, who went from end credits surprise to reading exposition?
  • Michelle Pfeiffer, only getting the chance to slap Michael Douglas?
  • Walton Goggins, not being good enough to be the villain of fucking Ant-Man?
  • Rebecca Hall, who got cucked from being the main villain because of toy sales?
  • Karl Urban, who got cucked up being the villain for a character arc?
  • Lee Pace, who got cucked out of being Star-Lord?
  • Glenn Close, whose death wasn't even confirmed?
  • Julie Delpy, for anyone could have done it cameo?
  • Bill Skarsgard, who no one realized was in Eternals?
  • Christopher Eccleston, who showed up in one Thor movie?
  • Mickey Rourke, who actually prepared his character?
  • James Spader, getting paid to read lyrics from a Pinocchio song?
  • Jeff Bridges, for being the first sacrificial lamb?

Wasn't fantastic. It was an origin story because they needed him later down the stretch and needed to introduce an infinity stone, and was basically Iron Man rehashed. Here is this successful rich guy who is a massive cunt, something happens, he has hardships (kidnapped by terrorists and with shrapnel near his heart, surgeon who loses use of hands), ends up not being as much of a dick and replaces his job with being a superhero. The OK part was they had Strange face a being way more powerful than him, and needed to trick him to win instead of brute force it with magic.
