alternatively titled local wanda stan loses her mind after watching multiverse of madness. this post contains major multiverse of madness (2022) spoilers, please proceed with caution. that being said, let's get into it!

every morning, the same nightmare
🕒 18:28
strange: runes.
wong: this isn't sorcery.
strange: it's
witchcraft.

  • the movie starts with america and strange running away from some sort of demon? which doesn't end well, because stephen decides to sacrifice america so he can use her powers for the "greater good". it turns out that it's all a dream, or at least that's what stephen believes for a while- until he's proven wrong during christine's wedding.
  • it was a solid start and it immediately had me excited for what was about to come. i was sooo happy to finally see miss america chavez in the mcu and let me say, she's adorable. i wanted to take care of her so bad, but then the wandavision theme started playing and suddenly nothing else mattered. ladies and gentlemen, it was time for #HER.

🕒 19:11
wanda: you know, a family is forever. we never could truly leave each other, even if we tried.

  • what we first see of wanda in this movie is her, billy and tommy living in the same house from wandavision. she's cooking with the boys and puts them to sleep after, saying the iconic "family is forever" phrase from the show. then, like strange, she wakes up and realizes it was all a dream.
  • this is where i started descending into complete madness because why must my girl go through so much pain all the time. i was so ready to start crying already but i held myself together and kept watching the movie. little did i know wanda's situation was about to become so much worse!!!!!!!!!!! yay fun.

🕒 21:52
wanda: you never told me her name, did you?
strange: no. no i didn't.

  • strange visits wanda and asks for her help with the multiverse situation. wanda then slips and ends up mentioning america's name, which gives away the fact that she's the one sending demons that have been chasing america down.
  • shit starts to get reeeeeal crazy after this part and to me it was the peak of the movie. wanda going absolutely nuts and destroying kamar taj ALL BY HERSELF? sign me up. she looked so hot while she was murdering all of those people. i want her to do it again. also, the "run" part? i got chills.

(the look of complete insanity on this woman's face... mommy? sorry)

  • strange attempts to imprison wanda in the mirror dimension, but it isn't enough to hold her. wanda quickly finds a way out of it and shows up in the room where america, strange and wong are in.
  • this was such a badass moment and i was so proud of my girl. wanda managing to escape the mirror dimension is just one of many moments where she "wins" over strange throughout the movie, showcasing how powerful she actually is. i can't wait to be able to see this in full hd when the movie is on disney plus.

(wanda my beloved stop looking at me like that. i'm getting shy)

  • the scene from the screenshot above is from when wanda takes over the body of her variant, which is the second most emotional (in my opinion, at least) moment from the entire movie. the kids ask her where she's going, she says she's going to take out the trash but they have something to show her. they sing her a song to convince her to let them have ice cream and wanda is tearing up while they do it, because that's the first time since the events of westview that she's seeing her children in front of her.
  • OOF... that hurted like a bitch. the look in her when she heard the word "mom" broke me into a million pieces. this woman literally just wants to be happy for once in her life :( it's so, so sad.

🕒 54:33
wanda
: i need the darkhold's spells. you're the sorcerer supreme, tell me what you know.
wong
: you'll have to kill me, witch.
wanda
: not you. them.

  • the rollercoaster of emotions i went through during these scenes. like yes wanda my poor meow meow is such a sad little person but she is also so HOT as a villain, what am i supposed to say? she's so mean when she's threatening wong and forcing him to take her to the mountain where she can find a copy of the darkhold and i'm obsessed with the energy... name a hotter milf. actually don't waste your time because wanda maximoff is the only milf to ever exist.

(shout-out to my best friend maria rambeau)

  • this is the high anticipated illuminati scene, but to be honest it was actually the worst part of the movie for me? like, yes, i liked to see maria rambeau, but everything else was so...? i don't know if the scene was actually boring or if i was expecting more people who were rumored (loki? sylvie?) to appear and ended up being disappointed. plus the movie theater i went to was full of boring old people and no one screamed... like what. this is a marvel movie and you're BRAZILIAN, you have to scream. it's the rule. anyways.
  • i did, of course, LOVE seeing wanda killing them all. i know how this sounds and call me insane but how is she so... !@#$%#$ what haven't i said about this woman at this point? she is GOD to me and she can do ANYTHING SHE DESIRES because she's HOT AND PERFECT!

🕒 1:06:14
wanda
: look around you. it’s carved in stone, i was meant to rule everything. but that’s not what i want. i just want my boys.
wong
: at the cost of a child’s life? aren’t you in peace knowing even though you can’t be with the ones you love there are worlds where you are together? is that not enough?
wanda:
no.

  • now wong sir... i kinda like you and everything but what kind of question was that LMAO. i said NO so fast, isn't that obvious to you and everyone else already? she does not give a fuck if she's with them in another universe- she wants, and honestly, deserves, to be happy in her universe too.
  • and after this it just gets... really depressing.

(my precious girl...)

  • this scene destroyed me. like, this was literally the worst thing that could happen to wanda now and of course it fucking did. and by "this" i mean the boys being terrified of her, throwing things and her and telling her to not hurt them- or their mom, which is the wanda from another universe. this has to be one of the saddest marvel scenes ever, and if you don't feel sorry for this woman at this point do you even have a heart?
  • the other wanda calms the boys down by telling them it's okay, gets up and comforts "our" wanda, assuring her that the boys will be very loved. it's heartbreaking to think that this is the first time she's been comforted by someone after everything she went through since westview, and the fact that the person who did it is herself... ouch. it can't get more painful than this.

(this summarizes how i feel about this movie better than this entire post)

doctor strange in the multiverse of madness (2022) ★★★★½
when did i watch: may 5th, 2022
overall: i liked the movie. i thought of giving it five starts, but i'll wait and see if any of my opinions will change after being able to rewatch the whole thing properly. most of my thoughts on this movie revolve around wanda, of course, but i'm excited to see how the events of this movie are going to affect future marvel projects too. do i think wanda is dead? no. do i have any idea of what's going to happen to her next or how she's going to make it out of that place alive? also no. but lizzie said she's aware of two new projects with wanda in the moment, so i'll hold on to that and hope for the best. if you made it this far, thank you so much for reading!

space girl, show me the stars
⚠️ DRUCK S6 SPOILERS AHEAD


first of all… the fact that kieutou are NOT WHITE. can i get an amen. can i please get an amen. i literally can’t remember the last time i saw a wlw ship where there wasn’t a white person involved (is there any, really…? i honestly can’t remember) so i knew i was going to enjoy this show from that alone, but i did not expecting EVERYTHING ELSE?!??

as a black lesbian i don’t think i’ve ever related as much to a character as i related to fatou. i still can’t believe this is real, like… a black lesbian struggling with numbers in school/life in general? what the fuck. i feel so SEEN for the first time in my life and- okay i’ll stop before i get too emotional again. i’m just so happy this show exists and that fatou got her season and that her story was so relatable and UGHHH. it might not be that impactful for other people but i literally spent my whole life thinking “okay i guess people like me aren’t meant to be the main characters after all lol” but then i watched this and?? it literally means so so so so much to me... well i got emotional again. okay i’ll really stop now ❤️

now kieutou as a ship !@#$%$#@ i love them so much. of course there were parts where i was just kieu my what are you doing baby?? stop?? ❤️ but i knew things would be alright in the end and they WERE!! i enjoyed the sad/tense parts as much as enjoyed the cute ones to be honest, because what can i say… i love me some angst with a happy ending. and i actually enjoyed the pacing of the show so much? i love it when things are slow and slice of life-y and not a lot happens. i could’ve watched everything in one day (it’s just ten episodes that are around 25 minutes each) but i wanted to make it last simply because it made me feel so good and i didn’t want to stop thinking about kieutou 24/7 <3

one thing i love about kieutou (other than their perfect height difference and the fact that they are the most good looking ship i’ve ever seen) is when they talk in star language (yes i will call it star language shut up) oh my GOD. “I think if you were like me, we’d still be lonely and alone swimming around somewhere in the universe” THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!! this is MY definition of love!!! whenever kieu my started nerding out about astrophysics i was just so ♡_♡ i could listen to kieu my talking about the universe and the stars and everything in between for hours she’s so ksjdfkgjfk can you tell i have the biggest crush on her. because i do. i felt like i was two seconds away from fainting every time her beautiful face was on the screen.

can we talk about cashqueens too ♡_♡ I LOVE FRIENDSHIPS. and i love ava? so much? can i please become a character in druck just to be ava’s gf? please? sorry but skfhkf i’m in love with her. really. i love her friendship with fatou so much they are just so great and so good for each other and get each other so much. when fatou made the friendship proposal for ava AAAAAA i loved that scene so much i was screaming inside… one of my favorite scenes of the whole show <3 i think i’ll watch season five just so i can see more of cashqueens.

another thing i wanna talk about is the soundtrack. HELLO? IT’S SO GOOD? the way i almost died on the spot when rina_sawayama_love_me_4_me.mp3 started playing… and even the songs i didn’t know were so good and so my style T_T i can’t stop listening to this playlist tbh. tfw you get a good ship + poc characters + good music as a bonus <3 i’m obsessed i truly am.

i don’t know how skam/druck works at all because this is the first time i watched something from this universe but i really hope we get a kieu my season one day because i really want to know more about her and, of course, i want to see more kieutou too. it’s been less than 24 hours that i finished watching s6 and i already miss them :(

i’m already making sure to let everyone around me know that kieutou are perfect (shoutout to my priv moots and to all the kieutou edits/fanarts i’ve been retweeting and the gifsets i’ve been reblogging on tumblr) and that season 6 is worth watching. you can watch it here, if you’re interested! my thoughts are still kind of messy and this is all a big "i love kieutou" mess because i literally just finished watching everything but i needed to let them out before i lost the motivation to make a new post lmao… thanks for reading ^^
