Spoilers Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness grade and discussion thread

Say that gutless fanservice appealed to you more than anything else.

 

No need to be rude. People enjoy this movie. And not just for whatever made up reasons are being stated by those who don't.

 

I really enjoyed both No Way Home and Multiverse of Madness. Not sure if they are up there with the best of the MCU, but they're still pretty great.

 

Yawn.

 

It had nothing to do with the fan service, I wasn't a big fan of those movies.

I tried rewatching them before NWH came out, and I couldn't even get through the first one.

 

Well, coming from a guy who thinks Nolan's pretentious pseudo-dialog is engaging I'll take that as a compliment.

I mean, all you can do is say variants of "Yawn" so we all know how this will go.

 

It’s not all I can do. It’s all the effort such posts deserve.

You don’t like something? Totally fine. Never have a problem with anyone not liking something.

That a piece of entertainment is not to YOUR liking is not a licence to suggest others who do like it are somehow defective in their judgments. It’s that kind of arrogant presumption that deserves no more than a yawn.

So, again, yawn.

 

More that you're incapable of it.

Tell that to the ones who think the MCU was apparently "The death of all cinema".

 

No. But if thinking so gives you comfort…

Show me where I’ve either said or agreed with such a sentiment. I can wait.

(in the meantime, I’ll casually peruse the 20+ MCU movies on my shelves)

Toodles.

 

With the film out this week, here's hoping the Assembled episode is out next week. I really hope we get some interviews of the big cameos.

 

Wanda's kill count could have been two higher.

Wanda almost killed 2 more major characters in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' (yahoo.com)

She slices our Mordo's head off and claps her hands to kill Wasp.

 

The teleportaiton device that Reed uses in MoM is Dr. Doom's Time Platform

I belive they have treatments for your narcolepsy

 

I guess that explains the empty chair.

I'm glad they didn't kill off Mordo 616 since he clearly has more story to tell based on how the first film ended, but it is a shame we didn't get the alternate Wasp.

 

Perhaps. But your post isn’t it.

Yawn.

 

In reality, most people who like the MCU like the old Spidey-Movies and the other way around. It was an exciting and satisfying way to bridge a gap and after 2 decades at the cinema, Spidey is a character who deserves a bit of fan service.

I like all the Spider-Men. It was joyous to see Maguire, Garfield (a seriously underrated Parker IMO) and Holland together.

 

I don't get some people's hang up with fanservice. As if making a movie that satisfies the fan base is some sort of sin.

 

To me, fan service isn't "satisfying the fan base." I would hope the fan base would satisficed with a good story. Fan service comes across as a wink to the audience and says "See? We like this too."

 

But one does not necessarily preclude the other.

 

Agreed. Most people I know who love the current MCU also liked the first two Spiderman movies with Maguire. Things got rocky after that and opinions vary with Garfields run, but I always thought they were good, but it was a reboot that came a little to soon. Watching his two films now I think they hold up very well. NWH was a nice cherry on top because it basically says" don't worry. Those other guys are still canon no matter how many times we recast the role."
