Kind of funny in that some older comics the original 1940s Miss America was considered a candidate for Wanda's real mother I think, way before the Magda retcon and then the retcon of that retcon.

I like comics MAC. Was indifferent to the MCU version. She was basically just there. No biting attitude. No multiversal experience where she’s been a hero to people in other realities. No flight. No superspeed. No discernible super strength.
Comics MAC was a character that stood up against Carol Danvers when Danvers went all Minority Report in Civil War 2. One who traded punches with Thanos without a second thought. Comics MAC jumped into a portal to follow her heroic mothers who were saving their world, not a scared girl who may have accidentally killed them.

Finally got to see it for a second time
I just really love this film. Wish there was an extra 15 mins, but I just think it’s so good. I found myself really enjoying Stephen’s journey this time around, and he feels realer to me than he ever did in previous films.
Such a great time. Can’t wait til it’s on Disney plus haha
While I liked her enough in the movie, I just thought she was rather bland compared to her comic book counterpart. Like I said, it would just be nice if they mixed it up in terms of how they portrayed their teen heroines.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
I loved what this movie did for Dr. Strange, not so much for Wanda. I guess Strange needed two movies to let go of Christine and then make room for Clea. I wonder if he'll ever become Sorcerer Supreme?
I guess we can say Wanda was corrupted by the Darkhold, but it was rough seeing her turn to darkness like that after we've been following her struggle for so long. Also, if they can look into multiple realities, they should have just looked a little harder, maybe they could find a reality where Tommy and Billy's mother slipped in the bathroom and cracked her head open or something and then our Wanda can just step in like she was their real mother all along.
There was tons of fanservice, but I think I most loved Reed mentioning Franklin and Val. Kind of funny how Wanda wondered if there was someone to take care of them should Reed die when in the comics Agatha Harkness was one of Franklin's caretakers.
I liked that too. I was thinking they would put that whole subplot on hold and say Strange and Mordo got snapped and Mordo has been re-acclimating himself since, but no, Mordo is still on his quest. Maybe they'll get back to it next movie and we can see some kind of flashback to when Strange first encountered him as an enemy.
I really hated that.
The only thing I know about her is from the Marvel Rising movie. She was okay here, but I didn't find her all that interesting.
And Whizzer was father of her and Pietro. I didn't realize how close that was to the introduction of Billy and Tommy. Whizzer was Wanda's father in the Vision and Scarlet Witch mini-series of the early 80's, and then it was in West Coast Avengers #52 from 1989 had the Master Pandemonium revelation about Billy and Tommy.
I finally got to see the film. However, despite my efforts to dodge info this late after release I was spoiled to the Illuminati.
I'll not make this long.
Grade: B+
Did not know and did not approve of Wanda being the villain (yeah I know she was in House of M, started off as one). If Feige is taking Wanda through cinematic paces to parallel her comic version then I hope the up turn is now upon us.
Steven is NOT the Sorcerer Supreme yet...hmmmm.
I think I've read a hand full of books where America Chavez is present but has little to do. Was her MCU debut faithful to the comic iteration? As a character here she was alright, subsequent appearances could sell me on her better I suppose.
Bruce Campbell....nice to get him in there Sam Raimi!!
Clea!!! Wait, he still has the third eye?! That's not going to end well is it? Speaking of.....when do I get Doctor Strange 3 Mr. Feige??
