Spider-Man: No Way Home previously stated how Wong became the new Sorcerer Supreme based on a technicality. Benedict Cumberbatch is still incredible in this role. Strange finds himself doubling back on this many times, which resonated with me particularly well. Strange faces a lot of scrutiny and repercussions for his choices in that movie, with many characters, including Strange himself, questioning if the right actions were made.Īnother recurring theme throughout the movie is happiness and accepting whether or not we truly are happy. The aftermath of the Blip on Strange himself is explored very well here.
Many of the movies and shows released after Endgame fully revealed the ramifications of this, and this movie is no exception. Endgame didn’t get the opportunity to fully explore the effects of such a radical population shift in quick succession it’s still only one movie. A recurring theme in post-Endgame releases like Shang-Chi and the second two Spider-Man movies is exploring the effects of half the world getting dusted and then randomly restored five years later. There are many interesting ideas the story explores. Still, I don’t think it worked in the movie’s favor. Now granted, seeing how this is a movie exploring the insanity and unlimited possibilities of the multiverse, perhaps the inconsistent pacing was intentional on the screenwriter’s part to sell that chaos. Much of the movie was just spent with characters running from point A to point B, a fight here and there, and the cycle would repeat. The plot felt repetitive and the pacing of the movie was incredibly inconsistent. The screenplay is hands-down the only significantly problematic aspect of this film. However, the direction, action, and actors almost completely make up for it. Or was it?ĭespite a thrilling premise, offering infinite possibilities and scenarios, the film felt unusually restrained, particularly suffering from a dull screenplay.
After dipping their toes into the idea of a multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the full unrestrained chaos of the theory of infinite realities was put on full display in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
