🎬 In this FilmSpeak video essay we discuss why Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness is ALMOST Great.
🔔 SUBSCRIBE: ru-vid.com?sub_con...
With every MCU project we've come to expect more of the same. More of the same interconnected universe mandates, more bathos, more fan service, etc. more of the same Marvel formula. It works! It's why the MCU has been as largely successful as it has. However, there comes a point when audiences want more, crave more, crave to feel the touch of an artist behind the camera with a specific story to tell that only THEY are capable of telling. There's been glimmers of hope post Avengers Endgame with projects like Moon Knight, but largely, Phase 4 of the MCU has felt like Kevin Feige and the MCU resting on their laurels than actually trying to make creatively inspired art. However that all changed with the announcement of Sam Raimi taking the directing reigns on Doctor Strange 2 or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Sam Raimi, the guy who ushered in the modern era of superhero cinema with his heartfelt and spectacular Spider-Man movies. The guy who inspired an entire generation of horror filmmakers with his signature brand of mean spirited horror-comedy, camp, energy, and full-blown madness. THAT Sam Raimi, was tasked with bringing to life another Doctor Strange movie. While the idea of multiversal insanity, cameos, and chaos was enough to make fans worried, if anyone was going to pull it off and restore faith in the MCU, it was Sam Raimi. Not to mention, Doctor Strange has been a favorite superhero of Raimi's since he was a kid! Having an auteur in the drivers seat is exciting and for the most part Doctor Strange in the Mutliverse of Madness is the most creatively exciting the MCU has pulled off...from a visual standpoint. You see, while Raimi was allowed to test the limits of PG-13 horror, and add his visual flares, flourishes, camp, and meanspiritedness to the overall aesthetic, his lack of presence during the writing process couldn't be more felt. While Doctor Strange 2 doesn't have the worst script in an MCU movie, the standard mediocrity and tired Marvel forumal are exposed for how week they truly can be as there's a major disconnect between Sam Raimi and the Feige machine. That's what we're going to explore. How Sam Raimi EXPOSED the Big Problem with the MCU and how the MCU formula held Multiverse of Madness from being TRULY great. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness review and explains why Doctor Strange 2 is ALMOST Great and what the mcu can learn from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The concept of having Wanda the most powerful being and only just wanna be with her children in a different universe is very much the most understable motive in any MCU film.

@untappedpotential2761 Год назад

If you ask me. When Strange stepped on the “memory lane” machine. They should have shown his sister, Donna falling through the ice. It would have made it much more powerful to show his backstory rather than just tell it.

@blueberrydenim4807 Год назад

This film definitely struggles under the weight of its ambition, a longer runtime may have helped a lot. But Sam Raimi’s vision elevates it so much, actually makes this one of my favorite MCU projects in a while despite its flaws, there’s a lot of “life” to the cinematography compared to most others

@davidgeldner2167 Год назад

It is definitely 100% about letting go of that need for control and I definitely agree that Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is the best thing about the film, even with the questions about Vision, etc. she was just so good in this film.

@freedompancakes301 Год назад

I loved Wanda in the movie, but I think the film would have worked a little better if she had the motivation of saving her own kids who survived the Hex coming down, and who were in danger in the Multiverse like they teased at the end of WandaVision. That would explain away some of the holes in her motivations like why she doesn’t just create new kids, and justify her actions more. I think also bringing up the fact that she’s a Nexus being and can’t physically leave Earth 616 without absorbing America Chavez’s powers would have also helped give a better excuse why she feels like she has to steal America’s powers rather than ask her to take her there.

@BIGwillTHEGAME Год назад

I agree with letting Sam write the film too. This reminds me of what happened to Spider-Man 3

@smithsb Год назад

The one thing that really irked me was when Strange talked to the Illuminati Mordo. Their conversation alluded to a movie that never happened. I wanted to see Strange's first battle with Mordo, learning he's killing other sorcerers.

@rickblaine9670 Год назад

I totally loved this movie. It still carries with it the limitations of the average MCU entry, but without those it could have seriously been a near masterpiece like Spider-Man 2. I loved how Sam started from the same premise of his “holy trilogy” - that everything gravitates around the love story - but this time that story is already over when the movie begins. Love doesn’t equal hope and strength for the protagonists, but rather despair and regret. “MJ” is marrying “John Jameson”, and she’s not running away to reunite with “Peter” this time around. Stephen is left alone, and the movie is about him having to accept that the love story he thought was written in his destiny actually was not. Like Wanda, on the other hand, has to accept that she is not a mother, she never was, she just dreamed a life that was never hers to live. Again… like Stephen.

@truthseeker5079 Год назад

I agree with some of your points. I love that the movie felt different in style. I love the question being asked are you happy? I feel like Sam underneath all the cheese and silliness really cares about the audience's psychology and perspective. His style and camera movement is just so good, but he also cares about Strange and his humanity. he cares about Wanda and how what she thinks will make her happy is actually causing pain and destruction. I think often in our own lives we get selfish like Wanda, but we neglect the emotional damage we might cause to other people in pursuit of our "happiness". Ultimately I think your conclusion is on point. The MCU is going to have to learn to except failure as a possibility and stop trying to make everyone happy if it wants to grow and learn. When you try to make everyone happy Ultimately you lose your own identity in the process because you become this chameleon trying to blend in.

@stefanochiesi2646 Год назад

I liked how both Strange and Wanda are connected by the desire of being happy and the fact that they seem to can not be happy in their universe, and in the end it comes to accept your life with all the good and the bad

@zserbs2326 Год назад

It’s a shame to say the least that the film turned out the way it did. I think Raimi, Cumberbatch and Olsen were all able to do the best they could in service of a bad script.

@eduardozayasrandel1854 Год назад

While I can admit that America didn’t get as much development as she should’ve (being such an integral part of the plot), her character does have an arc that can be addressed. She’s completely terrified of her powers because she doesn’t know how to use it. That’s why her memory lane scene is important, because it’s when she quite literally traumatizes herself and learns how dangerous her power is. When she’s on the side of the building she stomps the concrete trying to contribute something to the fight. Later on she’s able to break herself free from the glass cage and fight Wanda. Her story is about her learning to trust and being confident in the power that she already possessed. Admittedly, these are the only moments in the movie that alude to this, so yeah maybe a little more development would’ve been good… surely we’ll see that development in future projects

@devinmay3038 Год назад

I really did enjoy this Movie. I loved Elizabeth Olson in this. She has solidifed Wanda as my favorite MCU character. Really liked Raimi's style in this aswell. Hope he returns for the sequel. Great points on the essay. Keep it up.

@Mitcheck315 Год назад

I've heard someone suggest that if Sam wants to keep the idea of an unstoppable mystical being hunting Strange that reintroducing Ghost Rider and having him hunt Strange for dreamwalking into a corpse, I think it would be a really interesting way to actually follow up as a sequel that builds off of the consequences for MoM while also introducing a character people are clamoring for

@samf.s.7731 Год назад

I want the 2 hour 40 minutes cut... I know we're not gonna get it but man I want that cut!!

@chezzlito Год назад

I remember wondering what Dr Strange’s arc could possibly be with all this multiverse stuff (which at the time felt like it was gonna take over the entire movie), but the whole storyline of every Stephen from every universe having to make a big universe-altering decision and failing, as well as for it to dig further into the idea of him & Christine never being together be an “absolute point” from the What If series was heartbreaking and you really feel for Strange (which is where the first movie fell short imo). Feels like he’s further along the journey that Peter’s currently on regarding letting go of personal desires for the greater good.

@Th3GaMb3r Год назад

I once said it and i will say it again, marvel became the hero and they lived enough to see themselves become the villain. They gain this so much popularity that they are trying so hard to live up to the best. To always make a movie better than before. That are forgetting one thing and that is story telling.

@alexcaetano9572 Год назад

Happy to see someone mention stevens character arc. I personally enjoyed it a bit more than Wanda’s simply bc I relate more to it. I personally thought while It could’ve been better it’s still a great movie and a great sequel

@chungus1149 Год назад

he took a bog standard marvel script and made it exciting to watch. he's also one of the only directors that can take marvel humor and make it actually... you know... humorous. give Raimi more movies please.
