Finally got around to seeing this.  If I'm being honest I wasn't that impressed with it.  It was more of a Wandavision sequel while also acting as a character intro for America. 

 

It was like 30%  about Strange.

Haven't seen it yet...just noticed (while loading up Obi-Wan) that it has been made available on regular Disney+.  Caught me by surprise.

Spoilers ahead:

 

Spoiler

I rolled my eyes at Black Bolt, Reed Richards and Prof. Charles Xavier being disposed of without any effort on the Scarlett Witch's part, but Captain Marvel and Captain Carter only got killed after epic battle scenes, bravo! strong women/girl power! /s There was more of the same throughout with even a plot point of Stephen Strange being weak minded (with the implication that even the "good" Doctor Strange is now influenced by the Darkhold). Wanda gets a pass because of everything she went through with Vision and Thanos (played out over the events of a few movies and Wandavision), and even redeemed herself at the end just to make it clear to the audience she was good, in the end.

 

I'm not even a big Marvel fan, but I could have skipped this one I feel, I did enjoy Bruce Campbell's cameo scenes.

 

6/10 for me.

 

BTW I am currently enjoying the Ms. Marvel series, although @Usama Jawad96tells me the characters are not true to the Pakistani culture they seem to be portraying.

Let me clarify, I did not mean that they are completely wrong because I haven't watched the show. I just found out about some instances of dialog/mannerisms that are actually common in Indian culture rather than Pakistani. I don't know how accurate the show is overall since I haven't  watched it yet.

Finally got around to watching Scarlet Witch in the Multiverse of Depression

 

Meh...it was fine.  Did enjoy watching Scarlet showcassing her powers ... the story was kinda bland and predictable...especially the end (though I was surprised anyone was left to rebuild after what she did).

Just watched it myself, and honestly, I'm a little confused...

Wasn't the ending of Loki supposed to be leading into this?!?

Spoiler

I assume the two are essentially happening at the same time, or that Loki overlapped with No Way Home and there wasn't enough time between the end of NWH/WandaVision and DSMoM for the ramifications to occur. 

 

KF said not long ago that in the next few months we should have a clearer picture on where things are going, so I suspect we'll know more from either the end of Ms Marvel, from Thor or from She-Hulk.  Black Panther 2 isn't out until November so that might be too far off.

We have to also keep in mind that the pandemic really goofed up release schedules for these movies and shows.  MoM was originally set for May 2021, and was supposed to happen before the events of No Way Home.

saw it last weekend. it was alright, had it's ups and dulls.

 

Spoiler

They did Wanda dirty at the end IMO though dropping the entire castle on herself as punishment/redemption .... me thinks that won't be the last we see of her still though

 

not disappointed all in all; left a lot of potential places to go with his 3rd eye opening up (Y)

With them already going head first into the multiverse.

 

Spoiler

Anyone "dead" could just show up again but from another universe.  The movie at least showed that is possible with Strange being dead in one way in advance of the movie taking place, so...    In true comic book fashion anyone can just show up again, yay?

I had the same problem with it in the "Girl Power" sense. Hollywood, in general, is getting their own "Messeage"

completely wrong pulling this "The only way to make women seem strong, powerful, and independent is

to make the men seem completely useless". Just write a strong character without de-fanging the other characters.

 

Other than that, I loved it. LOTs of powers being used, etc. And Dr. Strange in the "What If..." body. hehe

      This looks awesome, I will request access via Steam later this afternoon!
    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
