    If they had a Doctor Strange POV shot, it would show that he has like 300 spells on his HUD, but 90% of them go on cooldown for a month.
  • @AndrewThoesen
    The mind-reading loophole pisses me off more than any other because it’s such an integral part of Xavier’s powers. Imagine Aquaman being threatened with drowning.
  • @OrganicWolf19
    Illuminati to Strange: "let's immediately trick him and imprison him" Illuminati to Wanda: "Could you please stop 🥺?"
  • So if green means stop. Shouldn't all the car"s brake lights be green in that universe?
  • I love Scarlet Witch saying "I'm not a monster" literally two seconds after admitting to killing dozens if not hundreds of people.
  • @NASkeywest
    The fact that all 5 super heroes that make up “The Illuminati” all stand there and take turns watching Wanda kill their close friends is probably one of the most idiotic scenes I’ve ever seen.
  • @loogiman8491
    Morbius is “Mom, I shit the bed” bad Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is “Mom, I accidentally deleted my best friend while playing Laser Tag” bad
  • @blturn
    Red means go, and Green means stop. I hate that they didn't follow through on this outside the traffic lights gag. Imagine if all the security camera warnings or fire extinguishers were green. Or even go the extra mile and make it so people's blood in this universe is green, giving a good reason why people see green as bad and red as a more positive colour.
  • @Delta9Church
    The thing that really bugged me is Strange will do a mindwipe on the entire planet to fix Peter's mistake, but he won't sit down with Wanda for 10 minutes to look at options to bring the fictional kids into being for real. He and Wanda could just do that, no harm no foul.
  • @ceceria6673
    So, wait. The writers use the moral ambiguity defense on Wanda's murderous, premeditated actions because...well, she's grieving so it's "relatable." But when any of the Dr. Stranges do something morally ambiguous (or break some arbitrary rule set long ago) for the sake of trying to save multiple realities – often requiring a split second decision with attacks bombarding them – it's treated like they are reprehensible for even considering it.
  • @MelloTheAnalysist
    Steven is literally the only person who cares about the safety of the multiverse. That's crazy.
  • @TheCrispyJelly
    Wanda escaping the mirror dimension makes even less sense when considering the fact that she should have no idea how to do anything. The distinction between socerery and witchcraft was already made, meaning that she should have no way to even interact with the mirror dimension, let alone escape it.
  • @neuxell
    imagine a god-tier surgeon giving a know-nothing teenager a scalpal and saying "believe in yourself, you can do heart surgery"
  • @nont18411
    Keep in mind, this is the same studio that treats Thor’s grief as a “laughing stock”.
  • @FourDozenEggs
    Also, sound can pass through material. Blackbolts squeel should have definitely passed through his sealed mouth and still hit Wanda.
  • @dudesayingthings
    The gradual castration of Doctor Strange is one of the most hateful aspects of the MCU for me. I loved his first movie. He was decisive, ambitious, canny, daring. He was still good in Infinity War-Endgame. Then in No Way Home, he was suddenly a useless puppet who couldn't counter Spiderman, a human whose powers are entirely based in the physical world, not magic.
  • @Phenominal222
    I will never get over the fact Vision gets completely forgotten in this. The entire point of WandaVision was Wanda lost Vision and this is the life she wanted them to have. The children were a byproduct of that. They were never the entire point and she knew they weren't real even though both of them loved them dearly. The fact that there isn't a scene where Paul Bettany walks into the house she's terrorizing and Wanda has the realization that "I completely forgot about my husband, the ENTIRE reason I did all of this in the first place" is poor writing at best and character erasure at worst.
  • @-Ryu
    "I'm not a Monster, I'm a Mother" Proceeds to turn Reed Richards into String Cheese, Chop Captain Carter in half, and Drop a statue on Captain Marvel... Actually that last kill was fine, I laughed at that one.
  • @TehRedBlur
    "Two hours? Do you think me weak, Sword Man?" That line slayed me.
