*Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* is an actual HORROR MOVIE 

Him not knowing who Xavier was must’ve triggered thousands of viewers.

"guess we will never see a universe where Wanda is happy" the movie activly showing us a universe where she is happy

“Is there ever a universe where Wanda is happy” yes, all the universes that our Wanda is trying to take “her” kids from.

I like how the whole video Alex is rooting for Wanda to take America's power thus killing her, yet at the very end when Wong tells Strange to take her power he's so confused on why they would do that lmao

I feel the main element Alex was missing most of this movie viewing was that Wanda's been _killing_ people since the jump (thanks to her being corrupted by the Darkhold). Before she dreamwalk'd herself, she was sending creatures. The first Dr. Strange we see getting killed in the intro was done by Wanda. Also, it's not like she'd just be with her kids peacefully - she'd be killing their _actual_ mother to take her place. If Dr. Strange were to accept her deal and go to another universe to be with Christine, he'd be turning his back on his own universe (616) and leaving it more vulnerable.

I am truly, 100% deeply disappointed that Alex did not know Charles Xavier. His reaction broke my heart. It was a huge moment in theaters. Plus, they played the music from the 90's cartoon which made it all the more epic!

She absolutely would destroy everything to get her children. She has been driven crazy from grief. In addition in the Comics she once wiped out almost all of mutant kind with one sentence.

White Vision is still out there somewhere. She was referring to when she killed Vision in Infinity War when she said she blew a hole through the head of the man she loved. Also, with The Darkhold corrupting her, she would probably eventually do the horrible things they fear. Also also, there is a universe where Wanda is happy. It's the one she kept dream walking to where she had her kids. Plus, there are an infinite number of universes, so there are countless universes where she's happy.

Calling Black Bolt, Xavier, and Mr Fantastic some of the 'great value heroes' is astonishing

"Seems like to me that she just wants to live a happy life, its not like she's out for blood." -Famous last words.

12:27 "What would happen is Strange gave Wanda what she wanted?" She's corrupted by that book. Right now she's being compelled to gain the power to travel the multiverse, using her kids as a justification. But the justification is only that, an excuse. Once she has that kind of power, she'll be compelled to go further by either destroying every potential threat in the multiverse (destroying everything) or by conquering it.

Dude your reactions on Deadpool would be hilarious, I love those movies and I think you would too. You should also go through the X-Men franchise now that their bringing them into the MCU in the future. There are some truly great and horrible movies so be ready for that.

35:06 , There are Multiple wandas , But ONLY ONE of them is the infamous Scarlett Witch, Who carries the unlimited unfathomable power.

You being all for Wanda taking America’s power and killing her, but asking “Won’t that kill her?!?” when Strange’s told her he has to take her power is crazy 😂😂

I'm sad you didn't know Xavier and especially Patrick Stewart's Xavier. If you had seen the X-Men movies this would have meant so much more to you. For us it was an incredible moment

Wanda is very likely the most powerful Avenger. She is also the most prone to mental instability. As we saw in Wandavision, she can rewrite reality to suit her and even in that series she wasn't fully conscious of what she was doing, it was more as a reaction to grief. A fully realized Wanda wouldn't need America, she would just change her reality into the reality of another universe. But again, she's unstable, so things would unravel around her eventually. She is the embodiment of "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".

You might have missed that the dark hold is a book that corrupts. Wanda took it from Agnes and it caused her to become a fully selfish Scarlet Witch (at all costs). Strange used it to dream walk also so risks being corrupted now also.

"It's not like she's out for blood" "She just wants to be with her kids" - by murdering an innocent teenage girl and kidnapping another Wanda's kids.

Wanda is legitimately one of the most powerful characters weve been introduced to

26:12 Elizabeth actually said way back in AoU press that she wanted to be able to play Wanda in House of M! She got to do it here and in Wandavision, I'm so glad she did bc she's amazing as Wanda

These are far from left over heroes. Mr. Fantastic, Black Bolt, and Prof X are three of the greatest ever. As for the woman at the end. That was Clea, Doctor Strange's true love from the comic books.

(While literally watching Wanda talk about how she's going to steal someone's powers (and probably kill them) so she can travel to a different universe and kidnap another Wanda's children) "Ok, but would she use her powers for evil though? Just give her what she wants, it's fine!" 😂 (While looking at a universe where Wanda is happy and he's actively encouraging our Wanda to tear it apart) "Is there ever a universe where Wanda is happy?" ARE WE WATCHING THE SAME MOVIE? 😂😂 (I say this in good humour 🙂)

After Wanda killed the Illuminati this movie turned into a pure horror film. And it felt so familiar to me. Once zombie Srange showed up, that was when I knew it was Sam Raimi directing. Almost the exact same costume design/art style as the Evil Dead franchise. Also, the pizza vendor was Bruce Campbell, the star of that franchise. He also appears in all the Raimi Spider-Man movies (Wrestling ring announcer in SM1, ticket guy at the theater in SM2, and the maitre d at the French restaurant in SM3).

“Black bolt? He’s just a dude with a fork on his head” is hilarious as a viewer who knows how strong black bolt is actually

I've never seen someone who knows so little about Marvel comics/tv/film watch an MCU film. Interesting and simultaneously jarring lol. Not knowing Mister Fantastic, but especially Professor X, is wild 😂

I love that this references so many What If episodes. Captain Carter, Zombie Strange, and Dark Strange. Also, TVA won't be touched on because this takes place after Loki, after the "sacred timeline" was unconstricted, so the TVA, as we know it, is no longer. Also, Scarlett Witch is technically still Wanda, but she's been severely corrupted by the Darkhold, and with enough power, I don't think she'd be able to keep from tearing apart the Universe. Just like how Doctor Strange did the same in What If after using the Darkhold.

If Wanda got what she wanted, she would go away, yes. To another universe, yes. But there, she would not just be happy, she would have to destroy the version of herself with the kids there. This is not just a case of... give her what she wants and everything is Kumbaya:)

This is like watching a high-budget Evil Dead movie. It even has Bruce Campbell as the Pizza Poppa.

Wanda is a super-badass. She's one of my favorites, and it is so sad that she went bad. I wish she hadn't lost her one true love. I'm not a Marvel expert, but she always seemed to be extremely powerful to me.

Wanda is a mom and a queen. Period!

if you knew who is the director, you will know why it feels like a horror movie lol Olsen said in one of her interview that she actually did lose it in the scene where she screamed at the kids because she was super annoyed and felt bad afterwards xD

It actually makes sense the TVA wasn't mentioned here because they no longer have control over the timeline so them hoping from this universe to others is possible now. They'd be too busy freaking out in order to stop this strange and Wanda from doing anything they're doing in this movie

I was going nuts in the theater with all the cameos being I grew up reading comics. Then seeing Alex's reaction like "who the hell are these guys?"

The dumb thing about this movie was that wanda was upset she lost the family she made up, and now she wants to take away real children's mother and replace her.

It is....disturbing to me how ready Alex is to let Wanda straight-up murder a child in order to rip "her" children away from their real mother in some other universe.

her chaos magic is unpredictable, which is why she is a hit or miss hero, she can just as well help you up or throw you into a wall as the magic is chaotic....MCU changed that....but yes, Wanda is god level power in the comics, you should read House of M where she and her father Magneto do some cool stuff

Lol you said strange should give her what she wants, her kids. She was going to kill a innocent teenager and a innocent version of herself! Love the reaction as always

I get he might be too young to remember the iconic 90s X-Men cartoon w Professor X, but I don't understand how someone could have gone through life in the 2000s without ever seeing a trailer/poster for the X-Men films featuring Professor X. It is literally impossible given their extensive marketing at the time.

the lack of reaction to the illuminati was just painful💀

Until 2019, Marvel Studios legally (and ironically) couldn't use X-Men or even mention them or say the word "mutant" because 20th Century Fox held the film rights to them. However, after the Walt Disney company bought Fox's tv and film divisions, Marvel was able to take back the film rights to X-Men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic Four among other characters. As a result of the merger, the Fox corporation became their own thing. So they had to change the name of the tv and film studio. 20th Century Fox is now known as 20th Century Studios. Now that I got that out of the way, here's the real fun detail: Wanda's goal was pretty similar to Kingpin's ambitions in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. He too wanted his family back, but it would be at the expense of the multiverse. My favorite part of this entire movie was hearing the reorchestrated opening track to X-Men: The Animated Series when Charles arrived. Patrick Stewart previously portrayed Charles Xavier/Professor X in the X-Men live-action films, but this version of Charles is not the same incarnation. 838-Charles is pretty much a merger of both the animated series and the live-action films. He's even wearing the same suit and riding the same hoverchair as his counterpart from the cartoon. In fact, the success that the X-Men cartoon had was the reason that 20th Century Fox had decided to create their film series to begin with. I recommend checking them out sometime. Most of them are really good. X-Men: The Animated Series ran for five seasons from 1992 to 1997, but now Marvel Studios is producing a sixth season set to premiere this fall. The continuation will be under the name X-Men '97. Even though it has the Marvel Studios logo, it’s not MCU canon. So you don’t necessarily have to watch it to maintain continuity. However, if it’s something you’re interested in and whether you wanna watch it in your own time or react to it, I recommend watching the original X-Men cartoon first. Most of the original voice cast is returning, and a seventh season is already underway. In other news, a Fantastic Four film is in development now and it will premiere on Valentine’s Day 2025. Originally, MCU Spider-Man director Jon Watts was supposed to direct this new film. Instead, he'll be taking a sabbatical from superhero films until it's time to work on the MCU's fourth Spider-Man entry. In the meantime, Jon worked on a new Star Wars show called Skeleton Crew starring Jude Law coming to Disney Plus this year. The new Fantastic Four film will now be directed by Matt Shakman, the same guy who directed all nine episodes of WandaVision. Black Bolt is from the Inhumans show that unfortunately didn't do so well, but words like inhuman and terrigen are all the more reason you should watch Marvel's Agents of SHIELD at least during your free time. It's seven seasons long, but the characters of the show make it all the more enjoyable. A handful of reactors including but not limited to Blind Wave, Torchwood Boy, Sesskasays, FictionalDarling, Storm Akima, and The Normies would recommend you jump right in.

The director started with horror in 80's with the Evil Dead franchise. Definitely worth a watch. There's movies, a show, a reboot movie and now another reboot movie that just came out. Some solid gold content for you.

I loved this one on the big screen. I don’t understand the hate on this movie.

"Is Wanda the Scarlet Witch?" is a profound, and hotly debated, question. Marvel has a tendency to create forces which inhabit hosts to generate its most powerful entities, such as the Phoenix Force in Jean Grey or the Power Cosmic which enables Galactus to exist. So it may well be that the "Nemesis" aspect is immortal but multiplies the existing power of a host, supercharging their talents.

Imagine youre sat all cozy with your family in front of the fire place, and suddenly someone throws up down your chimney

The concept in this movie of Wanda wanting to use America's powers to get her kids back and keep them safe is loosely based off of the House of M comic book. (I haven't finished it, but spoilers ahead for the comic.) Wanda, in the grief of her husband and children being gone, uses her reality warping abilities to re-create the universe where everyone gets what they want. In this new world, the Avengers don't exist, most of the population has mutant abilities, and some of the X-Men are good and some are evil, working for basically that world's Hydra. So yes. If she got America, she could enslave the multiverse.

Wanda comes unglued in the comics on a regular basis. Imagine Wandavision, but she changes reality over the he whole world to suit her mommy fantasy. Her kids are magical manifestations of her imagination. Sacrificing a real person to appease her madness is madness itself and evil af.

I LOVED this movie. Sam Raimi was an awesome director for this type of adventure. His use of music/musical stings, camera angels/movements, his horror style for Wanda was simply AMAZING!!!

The thing about Wanda that isn't so obvious unless you've read the comics is that she's mentally unstable. Not sure if it's because of the influence of her Chaos Magic, or her troubled upbringing, but she's lapsed into and out of some severe psychological episodes multiple times. The corruption of The Darkhold doesn't help. As for the blonde at the end, her name is Clea. she's the niece of Dormammu, the demon Strange fought in the first Dr. Strange movie, a powerful sorceress in her own right, and in the comics becomes Strange's wife and his replacement as Sorcerer Supreme. Of course, we don't know how closely her MCU storyline will follow the comics, but I'd hazard a guess she'll be a love interest at least.

Now that I’m watching, you asked what would happen if Strange just gave Wanda what she wanted. We learn in the movie the longer you spend time in a dimension that’s not yours, the two dimensions start to blend until they’re both destroyed. So yes, giving Wanda what she wanted and allowing her to permanently go to another dimension would eventually destroy both of those dimensions.

Saw this in theaters and I wasn’t as sober as the day I was born, let’s say that, this was an actual masterpiece to see!

One thing about this movie a lot of people seem to forget is that the Darkhold corrupted Wanda's mind so she wasn't entirely in control of her actions.

Darkhold: The moment Wanda read the Darkhold, it MADE her a villain. The Darkhold "wants" to inflict as much damage as possible, using its reader to do so. Agatha was not the reader it prefers. It is a bit like "The one Ring" in that sense. When I watched Wanda read in the Darkhold (in her show), I knew something like this (movie) had to happen.

15:00 lol when you did the portal edit, as soon as it sucked you in, i got an ad. The timing

21:38 - Did Alex watched Marvel's WHAT IF ..? There's a Thanos there that didn't destroy everything, teamed up with T'Challa and became a good guy.

Hope eventually you get to the X-Men so you can see just how long Patrick Stewart has been Professor X.

This movie has plot holes for sure, but Elizabeth Olsen killed it and it's the Wanda I have always wanted to see from the comics. Completely unstable and OP. She's hot af too

I am a big Sam Raimi fan and I loved this movie, and was fascinated by the fact when it was first released everyone else loved it too, and then about two weekend later it started getting hate online and seemed like a large amount of people then jumped on the bandwagon. I still love it and it is one of my favourite marvel movies.

Things I Learned: Alex is ok with sacrificing a teen girl and the indiscriminate and inhumane killing of anyone who gets in your way...if he thinks you're cool. Interesting. Aside from that...watch the X-men/Wolverine movies before Deadpool.

I saw this in the cinema and that moment Wanda said "That's what every mother does" my only thought was "oh no, she's gone nuts". It's just the way she delivered the line, the whole film revolved around Wanda going coo coo

Wong: Take America's power! Alex: Won't that kill her?! Also Alex: Just give her to Wanda! Wanda's cool!

I HAD FORGOTTEN IT WAS MARVEL MONDAY. i recently came over your channel and i just LOVED IT. You make such great content that I already watched most of your videos and i wait every week for your new uploads. SERIOUSLY you are doing so well, and thanks for entertaining us, ly!

I would love it if you watched all the X-men movies, including Deadpool!

Just realised the Illuminati consists of all the leaders of each superhero team Edit: this movie is marvels first horror film like thats the actual genre. also phase 4,5 and 6 is called the "Multiverse Saga"

“it’s not like she’s out for blood” the timing😭😭

if strange gave her what she wanted then she could infiltrate and mess up another timeline for her kids that technically never existed not to mention with her power and mental issues (from losing said kids and vision), strange wouldn't know exactly what she is capable of doing in that state

Oh, interesting thought; the universe they end up in is hyper colorful (plants and main characters) but all the 'civilians' are in grey muted tones. It's the comic book world but in live action. It's why Reed was so sure of himself against Wanda; they never really lose in the comics. They didn't know a being could be that viscous. That's why they couldn't stop her.

This really was amazing. For so many people this group of the Avenger (the Illluminati) was emotionally a lot like seeing all the Spider-men together. To you, "the great value Avengers"

Black Bolt is crazy strong. One word can obliterate a mountain.

12:30 She'd kill a kid dude! Literally the reason they give for not handing over Chavez's power to Wanda is "It would kill her"

Wanda was happy in the universe she tried to steal her kids from..

I've never been so upset by every reaction in a video before

ALSO, no one seems to remember that WANDA's actions in this movie are NOT hers, it's the goddamn book, Strange himself said it, the book has her, it amplifies her feelings, her desire to have her children again.

technically the wanda with the kids that the our wanda (scarlet witch) fought with IS a wanda thats happy right? 😊

Alex, some of the details at 25:00 will blow your mind. Not only is this scene awesome as you said, but it's packed full of symbolism. Xavier is walking even though he's a cripple, indicated what his psychic projection of himself is like. Then the actual place where Wanda is being "kept" is actually the bombed out ruins of her home in Sokovia, and I can PROVE it to you. The lace from the bedding, which you can see right above where Xavier is trying to pull Wanda out, is the exact same lace from the bedding in Wandavision, episode 8, when she's viewing the memory of when the bomb hit her home. It's actually such incredibly thoughtful set design.

Being team Wanda even though she was in the wrong and totally corrupted is BIG MOOD. I related to all your thoughts XD

You forgot, in the beginning -- Wanda was corrupted by the Darkhold.

Now what Strange COULD have done at the beginning, is suggest to Wanda that with America's help, not by forcibly taking her power, they find a reality where her kids have lost their mother, thus Wanda would not have to kill her own variant to stay there, and America gets to stay free. Also this movie has to take place after Loki, because before the death of He Who Remains, there was no multiverse. It gets confusing because a lot of Loki takes place outside of time but essentially, as soon as Loki steals the tesseract and begins the events of the show, the show also ends and the multiverse is created by Sylvie.

My guy, I kept waiting for you to realize that yes, this is a horror movie and Wanda *is the monster.*

29:56 The reason their throwing music note is because they are both trying to take each other out with the weakest spell. They both want to prove to the other that they are the strongest

21:46 "The dudes telepathic" WOW!

I think it's time for the X-Men's reaction... The timeline is kinda confusing but while progress each movie you'll enjoy and understand it. Can't wait for it❤

I’m pretty sure if Wanda were to be in another universe where her children are that universe would eventually somehow be destroyed.

"If you met yourself from another universe what would you do together!?" I think we all know the answer to that question Alex.

Them walking by the "Memory Store" randomly just so we can get a backstory dump is peak Phase 4 MCU.

Black Bolt's power is in his voice and does not speak unless he absolutely has to because he knows it will destroy everything. Why on earth would this man panick and start to scream the moment his mouth disappears?

Everything was heading towards INFINITY WAR and ENDGAME Now the MCU became one big bubble, ready to burst

it is an actual horror movie!! 21:05 its very sad that alex didnt watch any of the non-canon marvel movies

So, Alex was on team Wanda for the entirety of the movie. I'm wondering why he wasn't on the side of Wanda in the universe where she WAS happy with her kids before The Scarlet Witch Wanda came in and tried to kill her and take her kids? The Scarlet Witch killed more than 600 people and yet she stated she would never hurt anyone. She is as crazy as a loon and not somebody I would choose to support.

The disrespect to Xavier was putrid

I’m so sad he didn’t watch the X-Men movies before this, I would’ve loved to hear him gasp and shout “CHAZ X” when Patrick Stewart rolled on screen

Great reaction bud, this movie is super trippy! One of the reasons why the shows are not optional is because they are interweaving the story between the shows and the movies and back. This story is a continuation of wandavision, and captain america 4 will be a continuation of the falcon and winter soldier, it's totally brilliant imo. The multiverse is building up to be a big ol' thing - we're building up to the next endgame-level event in avengers 5 and 6 which is going to be a multiversal war and that COULD go anywhere - RDJ again? Chris Evans again? Who knows. But Alex, Alex, Alex - we do HAVE to talk about the heartbreaking thing you did. You did not recognize Patrick Stewart, which means not only did you not watch the X-Men movies, but you also never watched any Star Trek: The Next Generation. Say it ain't so Alex, (sad). Jokes aside, there are a bunch of x-men movies and the x-men thanks to the multiverse WILL be crossing back over to the mcu proper starting with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. I highly recommend watching at least the first x-men movie from 2000 if nothing else to familiarize yourself with some of the characters, and if you like that, the rest are prolly worth watching too. The no idea who Captain Jean Luc Picard thing tho - that hurts man, why you gotta do me dirty like that? lol Cheers

Finally. Seeing Wanda's journey from Age Of Ultron to this is crazy and ofc Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) and Benedict (Strange) killed it.. It's actually the darkest movie of the Mcu and had the most brutal death scenes Edit : Wanda our wanda 616 is The Scarlet Witch she's the only Scarlet Witch with the Chton's Chaos Magic even with the other Wanda's in other universes she's a nexus being just like Kang a nexus being, "nexus Beings are rare individual entities with the ability to affect probability and thus the future, thereby altering the flow of the Universal Time Stream ..." Comic book nerds knew the day Wanda and Pietro were in Age Of Ultron that she's the Scarlet Witch, seing her evolving from her first movie to this was a long journey, she's not dead and will have an important role in the future of the Mcu, maybe not as an avenger after all she k*illed and enslaved people but she'll help for sure I'm also with Wanda not strange lol, and yeah she's the strongest avenger Keven Feige (President of Marvel) responded to that by saying she was the only one who could've ki*ll Thanos, in the comics she's way more powerful than that.. they took more than 7 years to show us some of her potential here. If Strange didn't fight who knows what Wanda would want ? Also she wanted to k*ll America and obviously k*ll another Wanda Some potential scenes of the Scarlet Witch leaked during the Kamar-Taj fight Wanda was supposed to kill some sorcerers using other dead bodies by her telekinesis powers but that was too much for a Marvel movie and we lost. 40 minutes were cut sadly, in my opinion Wanda and Gorr were the best villains here and overall best villains we've seen in Marvel. Loki is kinda dead.. so idk how he'll appear in the future in any other project (I hope to see him again)

Unfortunately despite Wanda's best intentions she is using the Darkhold to accomplish her ends and it will corrupt her, there is no stopping it short of stop using it and her powers completely. But they are like the most addictive drug ever and cause psychosis and most ultimately succumb to the Darkhold

Did you know that Multiverse Of Madness's acronym is Mom and the movie is all about Mother figure and it was showed on theater in Mother's day like today Happy Mother's day to all the Mom out there

Wanda is the Scarlet Witch but she was corrupted by the Darkhold, which is why she was doing the things she was doing in the movie… professor X entered her mind n tried to rescue her but failed

It's too bad that Alex is still missing so much Marvel lore. That whole Illuminati scene was lost on him.

Black Bolt is INCREDIBLY strong. He can level a mountain with a whisper. That’s why he doesn’t speak.

Oh sure, side with Wanda. I mean, I know she's had it hard and that she's corrupted by the Darkhold, but let's list all the things she does in this movie: Kidnapping a child, summoning horrible monsters that cause city-wide destruction, which probably also kills or at least injures people, attacking Kamar-Taj, personally killing and torturing a huge amount of people, risking the stability of several other universes and replacing a different version of herself, therefore robbing that other Wanda of her children and at the same time robbing those children of her mother. I probably missed something, but... Yeah, that definitely sounds like someone who's side I wanna be on. (sarcasm)

"if this is a big reveal, I do not know who this is" ... and here all your Nerd-Cred is gone, in a single sentence 🤣

9:03 *_You break the rules, you become a hero. I do it, I become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair._* You don't have to understand anything else.
