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:

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...

 

Spoiler

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

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
