So why do people hate this movie?

why does that make the movie good

It's marvel, not raimi. They just threw that in as a nod. I groaned when they did the tired joke of someone reacting to a hero saying their name and being all "who?" when they did it to the Human Holocaust in this. Completely disrespectful

MCU fans hate it because
>it doesn't placate to their expectations
>It trolls them every chance it has
>It's unafraid to be goofy or saccharine
>It's not irony poisoned and undercutting itself with self-deprecating jokes

MCU haters dislike it because
>It's an MCU film and they made up their minds before it even came out

Anyone who went into this seriously expecting it to be another Spider-Man or even primarily a Raimi film is absolutely retarded.

I had fun with it too, OP. Probably one of the better movies in the Disney/Marvel franchise thing.

>So why do people hate this movie?
Since Marvel movies aren't being shown in China anymore due to Xi going full authoritarian, Disney isn't afraid to be more experimental.
On one hand, it means more black people in movies. But on the other, it means the MCU can finally show ghosts and zombies and shit, and doesn't have to have a shoehorned China-good! scene in every flick

Heck, the first half of Shang-Chi took place in America, and it takes inspiration pretty heavily from Tibetan mysticism, which China absolutely HATES because they're atheist commies

It's the typical Marvel capeshit but this time with several Raimi visuals thrown in there.

Also they don't really explore other dimensions, they just pass through several interesting looking ones for 20 seconds and then go to the one with the spaghetti Jim.

Shang-Chi was garbage though.

It was mostly okay but I hated the mexican bulldyke. They should just have replaced her with a MacGuffin like a magic book or stone or wand or whatever.

Because this took like 10 minutes of the movie?

That was easily the best part of the film, my only disappointment was lack of Vision for no reason & 616 Wanda going full evil irredeemable evil. It did not feel like a worthwhile end to her arc. WANDAVISION seemed like it was supposed to be going somewhere, but not here.

I think that a full multiverse war/collapse into one multiverse, is the next Thanos. Probably led by Doom as the villain.

I didn't say it would be good, only that it would be different and more bizarre

The Dr. Strange and Wanda parts were the good parts, the rest of it was meh. The multiverse could have been a lot more interesting and explored more, and the 'America; character felt smug and useless and could have been replaced with a simple artifact.

more like the multiverse of new york

This. If they cut a lot of the repetitive dialogue out they could have fit in one more universe to add some extra variance

tpbp

616 is just 666, some of the earliest scrolls of Revelation have 616

probably because of all the other plot holes and unexplained shit

>if you go in with no standards it's okay
lmao

Because that and the music fight are the only good parts in the entire movie.

Those were probably Raimi's darlings, as well as the movements of Scarlet Witch's more "scary" scenes. The stuff everyone is bitching about is standard MCU broad brush bullshit

somehow it's a pretty boring movie that feels low stakes despite being intensely silly

>requires you to watch a Disney+ show to understand the villains motivation
I enjoyed it. Could have been great but this tie-in bullshit needs to stop
