Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

 The latest Marvel movie, and we watched it on Disney+ at the brother in law a while ago.



And even though Marvel movies aren`t my must watch flicks, they are usually just highly enjoyable, and this one was no different.

A girl called America Chavez is fleeing from a huge demon, together with Doctor Strange, in a weird dimension.  But when Strange seems unable to lock it away, he wants to take the power of the girl.  This results in his demise, and Chavez portalling to our world as it seemed at first it was a dream.



The demon appears again while Strange is attending a wedding, and after he and Wong defeat it they learn she is a dimensional traveller.  As Strange recognizes strange hexes, he consults with Wanda, but it turns out it was she that is behind trying to capture the girl.  She wants her powers to have her children with her in this dimension as well, and Strange and Wong try to keep her safe in the wizard city of Kamar-Tai.  But their combined powers proof to be no match for the Darkholdt empowered Scarlet Witch.

They flee to an alternate universe, Earth 818, where Karl Mordo is the Sorcerer Supreme.  He captures them, and soon they find themselves in front of the Illuminati, a gathering of the strongest heroes.  The Scarlet Witch, possessing the Wanda of that reality, attacks, and makes short work of them however.  Trying to take the Book of Vishanti, an antithesis to the Darkholdt, Wanda destroys it though.  Taking over Chavez's mind, she throws the others to a dimensional incursioned realm.  Defeating that reality's Darkholdt corrupted Strange, he uses it's power to dreamwalk into the corpse of the first alternate reality him, buried on Earth 616.  Together with Wong, he frees Chavez from Wanda's capture, and encourages her to use her power, managing to bring the Scarlet Witch back to her senses.  She sacrifices herself to bring down Mount Wundagore and destroy all copies of the Darkholdt across all universes...



Strange devellops a third eye though as a result of dreamwalking in a corpse, and is soon visited by another sorceress asking him to join in the Dark Dimension, to face an incursion he has created...

This was a good MCU movie for sure, with some nice effects and cool wizard battles.  I kind a liked it, and perhaps it is time to finally start watching the various Marvel series as well, and shame on me, the ënd movies" of the Avengers at last as well...
