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

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

    • WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview

      By Copernic · Posted

Basically, if you miss the good old days of Winamp and want a modern upgrade that doesn’t mess things up, WACUP is for you! WACUP key features: Classic Winamp Feel – Keeps the familiar interface and functionality.

Better Library Management – Improved playlists, media organization, and search. No Bloat – Focuses on performance without unnecessary extras. Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.17 changelog: All Platforms Updated Tor to 0.4.9.11 Updated NoScript to 13.6.25.1984 Build System / All Platforms Bug tor-browser-build#41821: Update gpg subkeys for boklm Bug tor-browser-build#41827: Update morgan's keychain with renewed key Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
