I don't mean it as a cop out, more as a solution if they don't want to make her actually evil (which I would have thought the better route), but still want to show how devastating her power can be and how intimidating a truly villainous version of her would be. Seems like a dumb resolution to go from her being introduced as a misguided villain through tragedy, to then redeem herself and fight against villains alongside heroes including helping save the world, to then go back to being a much bigger villain through tragedy again (surely learned by now that that isn't the way to deal with tragedy and that tragedy doesn't excuse all these crimes). Stark learned about the effects his weapons had and that was good development for him. Imagine he starts acting arrogantly again and designing even more powerful weapons and thinking about all the money he's making doing it rather than sacrificing himself.I think using a Wanda from a different universe would be a cop out. If they wanna make Wanda evil make her evil.
I think all that she's been through in the MCU is a good enough spark for an antagonist turn. It's all just gonna depend on how it's handled.
If they pull a half measure and have her turn evil due to some outside force or they try too hard to make her sympathetic it's not gonna work that well
Yeah that's what I thought you meant and that's a textbook cop out. As it's a way for them to have an "evil" version of Wanda without it actually affecting anything. Having their cake and eating it too.I don't mean it as a cop out, more as a solution if they don't want to make her actually evil (which I would have thought the better route), but still want to show how devastating her power can be and how intimidating a truly villainous version of her would be.

It's a copout to me when Sony propose a villains universe who are all going to end up not being truly villainous (unlike Joaquin's Joker) and antiheroes at worst, as they have to lead films without genuine heroes. Unlike them, Scarlet Witch doesn't need to be an all out villainous character with intent and anything that crosses a certain line could undermine the earlier episodes of Wandavision and parts of AoU, CW, IW & EG.
I'd be very intrigued to see what a full on dark Wanda might be like and what she might be capable of, just not my Wanda lol.

I listened to this song way too many times back then.
Forgot about this.
That settles it. Spider-Man’02 is the worst Spider-Man film, solely because of this song.
The Illuminati was a cringe-y joke, too.
Is it true they all there just to get whacked? If so, then I’m more convinced Krasinski will not play the real Reed from our main timeline since it seems Marvel’s only cast him for this movie for the lolz and fan service.
lol.Yep. They introduce themselves, they each get a few lines of exposition, then Wanda kills them all. They don't even put up very good fights, imo (Reed is especially useless against Wanda lol). Black Bolt's death was quickest, but it was also the coolest, imo.
lol.
This is why I’ll be very surprised if Marvel brings Krasinski back to play the main Reed You don’t cast an actor to play the role long term and have our first introduction to them to be unceremoniously killed off in a brief cameo. Wow so even Captain Carter bites the dust as well? Does Reed even stretch?
Was not a fan of Multiverse of Madness. Those just going for their Raimi fix will probably be satisfied though. The 3rd act is pretty Full Raimi.
Everyone else? I doubt it. It does not stand on its own as a movie at all, imo. Feels like the mid-season finale of a TV show in that those who are not up to speed with all things Marvel are gonna struggle to find any reason to care about anything that’s going on. And Wanda…
Got Zack Snyder-ed.
The Illuminati was a cringe-y joke, too.
Much like Shang-Chi, you can tell which sequences they spent time/money on, because there’s a lot of UGLY visuals here mixed in with the good ones.
Not quite bottom tier Marvel for me, but nowhere close to the top tier, either. Somewhere in the middle. But still higher than the first movie, because at least it’s not Marvel-By-The-Numbers. There’s some actual creative moments to appreciate here, at least.
Also, was totally whelmed by the Avatar 2 trailer. The visuals haven't changed in 13 years, lol.
Ah, "Vindicated"...the best of the main songs from the Raimi trilogy."Hero" is a banger and you should ashamed of that bad take
It's no "Vindicated" though.
Yeah Captain Carter puts up the best fight, and she even gets in a nice "I could do this all day" moment...but then that's kinda spoiled when she's immediately chopped in half by her own shield right after it.
Reed briefly does like a stretchy punch before Wanda turns him into spaghetti. I don't know what he was trying to accomplish with that, honestly.
Ah, "Vindicated"...the best of the main songs from the Raimi trilogy.
"Hero" is okay. It's the closest thing resembling a Nickelback song that I like. I also remember cracking up as a teenager that the opening line of the song is "I am so high".
Oh, and we're at another big anniversary milestone!!!
Ten years ago today, the Avengers assembled....
I forgot about the Punisher soundtrack. The main theme from the score is one of the most underrated themes ever, plus that movie even stopped for a song interlude:I would also add the Daredevil and Punisher soundtracks.
