Raimi needed more freedom than what he actually got.

KINO SCENE

yeah, i wish he'd gotten the james gunn treatment and given a movie that while related to everything else was still somewhat self-contained. trying to do america chavez, doctor strange 2, and wa-wandavision 2 in a single movie probably hurt the scope with all the notes on all the marks that NEEDED to be checked. should've been only doctor strange 2
i was grinning like an idiot when this happened
Colton Hall
This scene, the music battle, and that seance-type scene that looked like a 90s horror movie or something, were about the only interesting few minutes in the whole flick.

Juan Lewis
if that's peak weirdness to them, i bet they were merely vaping
Michael Martin
this bit was kino
Leo Sullivan
Absolutely, the scenes that are pure Raimi absolute kino
Charles Martinez
is it time for cute America Chavez?
Joseph Parker
He already got the freedom to throw out the original story, Doctor Strange teams up with the Scarlet Witch against a Doctor Strange villain called Nightmare, and replace it with a movie where the Scarlet Witch is suddenly a mass murderer and Doctor Strange is completely passive and reactive (he doesn't even fight the villain, just stands there and watches her slaughter a bunch of student sorcerers).
Feige didn't even make him watch WandaVision, even though it was almost finished filming and the people making it had never intended it to lead into Wanda turning evil.
Continuity is fake in these movies and Feige has always allowed filmmakers to reverse or ignore whatever development the characters got before, but this one was particularly obvious for some reason, because Wanda's story was exactly the same as in WandaVision (snaps because she wants a family/realizes she's doing wrong) and Strange barely affected the plot of his own movie.
In sum, MCU creators need to be hackier and have no creative personality that could interfere with characters.

MCUfags we’re unironically mad that it was too weird and didn’t have enough cameos
William Perez
Cute
Juan Richardson
I do think the main reason for the backlash was that the cameos turned out to be a joke and none of them had anything to do except immediately die.
That joke was probably the best thing about the movie.
Josiah Flores
that scene was pure /x/ kino
Hunter Baker
Agree
Parker Wilson
You know what sucks about the marvel movies and shows? They hire ugly women. You think I give a shit that Kamala is a Muslim? No, I don't. I don't care that America is a girl or aSpanish, and I don't care that Kamala has to pray 5 times a day. I care that they're ugly. I don't want to watch things with ugly people in them. Hire pretty girls to act and then I'll watch your shit. Simple as
Jace Evans
I don't know who's responsible for what, but that is the ONLY cool scene in that whole shitpile of a movie.
Daniel Peterson
Kind of wish the film focused more on the forbidden magic Raimi awesomeness and less on reality hopping
Blake Morgan
And yet people talk about the movie like it was nothing but those moments. It was mediocre, and every bit of character dialogue felt uncharacteristic. I don't like MCU writing most days, but at least stay consistent with past movies.

Did you expect people to remember the multiple boring exposition scenes, anything America does, or Strange's non-existent reactions to Wanda's atrocities over the handful of genuinely awesome scenes?
