  • 00:00

    Ok so Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness sees Wanda chasing down America Chavez

  • 00:05

    in order to steal her powers so that she can be reunited with her kids.

  • 00:08

    Though some people are calling Wanda, Wanda-mentional, I think she’s the perfect villain for this

  • 00:13

    film which feels like the first horror hero movie we’ve had in the MCU.

  • 00:16

    I know her turn is very divisive but throughout this video I wanna argue why I absolutely

  • 00:22

    love her, the horror movies that Raimi pulled from to make her scenes even more intense

  • 00:27

    and why she’s one of my favourite comic book movie villains ever.

    whatever you do make sure you subscribe for videos like this almost every day.

  • 00:38

    With that out the way, thanks for clicking this now let’s get into why we think Wanda

  • 00:42

    is the perfect villain.

  • 00:43

    Now Wanda, she’s been through a lot in her life.

  • 00:46

    Not only did her home get blown up along with her parents in it she also ended up getting

  • 00:50

    experimented on by Hydra when she was very young.

  • 00:53

    This led into the events of Age Of Ultron where her brother was killed in front of her

  • 00:57

    which was then followed by Civil War where the whole world turned on her and blamed her

  • 01:00

    for killing lots of kids.

  • 01:02

    To add to that when Infinity War rolled around she had to murder the man she loved to save

  • 01:07

    the universe but this ended up proving to be pointless when Thanos brought him back

  • 01:10

    and killed him in front of her.

  • 01:12

    Then there was Wandavision where she ended up creating a perfect life for herself only

  • 01:16

    to have it all taken away.

  • 01:18

    Wanda has been through a lot and since she was first introduced all the way back in 2015

  • 01:22

    she’s arguably had the most tragic arc out of any Marvel character.

  • 01:26

    Now though there is criticism that she ended up doing a Daneyrs and going crazy all of

  • 01:30

    a sudden, you have to remember that she was out in the wilderness with the Darkhold for

  • 01:35

    months.

  • 01:36

    Most of the time whenever the devil is described in stories, he doesn’t come to you trying

  • 01:39

    to kill, his tactics are often way more subtle and this embodiement of evil is often just

  • 01:43

    someone who tempts us with giving up our morales in order to get what our heart desires.

  • 01:48

    That is very much what the Darkhold represents and whilst it corrupts Wanda it also promises

  • 01:55

    her with a better life.

  • 02:07

    It then gets it’s claws in Wanda which is why we find her buried under rubble inside

  • 02:14

    her own mind whilst the Scarlett Witch is showing up at breakneck speed.

  • 02:18

    In the film we discover that every universe other than the 616 has a version of her where

  • 02:22

    she’s happy with her kids and everynight Wanda goes to sleep dreaming of this better

  • 02:26

    life.

  • 02:27

    Upon waking up she’s faced with the cold hard truth and even without the Darkhold you

  • 02:31

    can see how this would break someone mentally.

  • 02:34

    Now Wanda, much like Age Of Ultron, was first introduced as a villain in the comics but

  • 02:38

    over the years we watched her transform into a hero before her power ended up proving too

  • 02:43

    much.

  • 02:44

    In stories like Avengers Disassembled and House Of M we’ve seen how she’s been someone

  • 02:48

    who can do exactly what she wants and there in lies her downfall.

  • 02:52

    Like Silas Stone says in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the challenge isn’t doing it, it’s

  • 03:03

    not doing it.

  • 03:06

    Wanda is one of, if not the most powerful person in the universe and therefore she should

  • 03:10

    be able to have what she wants.

  • 03:12

    Now her being the villain here makes her the perfect opposite to Strange.

  • 03:16

    Wanda is unwilling to sacrifice what she wants for the greater good and she will happily

  • 03:20

    kill Dads on Mothers Day just cos there’ll be someone to look after the kids.

  • 03:25

    Juxtaposing this, Strange could’ve had a happy life but instead he sacrificed the timestone,

  • 03:29

    got dusted and came back 5 years later having found out that the love of his life had moved

  • 03:34

    on.

  • 03:35

    To make things worse her husband is a massive Doctor Strange fan and he ends up having to

  • 03:39

    stand at the wedding pretending to be happy watching her walk down the aisle.

  • 03:43

    Wanda also tempts him with another universe in which he can be with Christine but he turns

  • 03:47

    this down as the cost of killing America will be too great for him.

  • 03:51

    It puts them at complete opposite ends of the spectrum and shows two powerful magical

  • 03:56

    entities that could both have what they want but they decide for themselves to take different

  • 04:00

    paths.

  • 04:01

    Just before they meet at Karmar Taj Wanda says that it won’t be her that comes for

  • 04:05

    America, it’ll be the Scarlett Witch.

  • 04:07

    So her showing up at Karmar-Taj to tempt Stephen when she never did this at this forest is

  • 04:11

    showing the extent of her posession.

  • 04:13

    She’s using the same tactics that the Darkhold used on her in order to try and tempt Stephen

  • 04:18

    with a better life where he will finally obtain the happiness that he lies about having.

  • 04:22

    Now Wanda’s design in the movie is based heavily on a lot of Movie villains.

  • 04:26

    There’s Samara from the ring who’s infamous tv crawl she immitates when exiting the Mirror

  • 04:30

    Dimension, the Wicked Witch Of The West’s Haunted Forest trees that we somewhat see

  • 04:34

    at her home when the illusion is broken, elements of Carrie with the oil all over her face,

  • 04:39

    Terminator when she limps along after the heroes with her eyes glowing red similar to

  • 04:42

    how the machine did at the end of his first film, Snow White which we even see playing

  • 04:44

    on a tv in other Wanda’s home, The Exorcist when she appears from the corner and snaps

  • 04:49

    X’s neck and there’s a lot of references to past works.

  • 04:53

    It plants this idea in our head that she’s a classic horror monster who is completley

  • 04:57

    unstoppable.

  • 04:58

    When we did our analysis of The Batman we talked about how Matt Reeves leaned into villains

  • 05:02

    like Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees in order to give the idea to audiences that Batman

  • 05:07

    was somewhat of a supernatural being.

  • 05:09

    His slow walking was used to intimidate those that he faced and Wanda very much pulls from

  • 05:14

    those same archetypes.

  • 05:16

    Making her a one dimensional character also makes her a force of nature and whatever Strange

  • 05:20

    and co throw at her, she has the ability to get around or bounce back from.

  • 05:24

    I know there’s a lot of criticism about how the illuminati are handled in this movie

  • 05:28

    but personally I think that what they do is a brilliant way to make us realise just how

  • 05:32

    powerful that Wanda is.

  • 05:33

    For years fans have cried out for not only John Krasinskis to be fan cast as Mr. Fan-cast-ic

  • 05:39

    but we’ve also been desperate to see Professor X in the MCU.

  • 05:42

    These are given to us in the film and just when we think they’re gonna save the day

  • 05:46

    they’re ripped apart by Wanda, which also rips our hearts out in the audience.

  • 05:49

    Look, look at me, you can see the moment my heart breaks in two watching Professor X get

  • 05:55

    his neck broken.

  • 05:57

    I think everyone is gonna have a kind of knee jerk reaction to it at first but with the

  • 06:01

    X-men and Fantastic Four both getting movies in the future, I think it’s safe to say

  • 06:05

    that they’ll be back.

  • 06:06

    We will no doubt get them again and those who hate this might even come to appreciate

  • 06:10

    how much of an FU it is to fans.

  • 06:13

    Ey, Ralph Bohner showed us Feige likes to troll and watching Wanda drop the coldest

  • 06:17

    lines I’ve ever heard in a comic book movie just elevates this scene so much.

  • 06:22

    She drops the What Mouth line and bit about Sue Storm being there to raise Reeds kids

  • 06:26

    back to back and it shows how she will no longer let anyone stand in her way.

  • 06:45

    Now though it’s not really labelled as such, this film is very much a Versus movie.

  • 06:49

    We’ve had a number of them over the years like Godzilla Vs Kong, Batman V Superman,

  • 06:54

    Alien Vs Predator and so on and so on.

  • 06:56

    They’re very much a staple of big franchises and though I like them, I have to admit that

  • 07:01

    at this point they all follow the same sort of formula.

  • 07:04

    When Godzilla Vs Kong was first getting filmed I think we all knew that it would end with

  • 07:07

    the pair teaming up together in order to stop a bigger threat that was actually behind the

  • 07:12

    scenes controlling it all.

  • 07:14

    Most of the movies in the genre end with the two opposing teams putting their differences

  • 07:17

    to the side in order to fight a bigger bad guy and this was even somewhat the structure

  • 07:22

    that Marvel used for Captain America Civil War.

  • 07:24

    Many people even expected a secret villain in this and when those Chthon looking monsters

  • 07:29

    showed up in the trailers it seemed like that was what we were gonna get.

  • 07:32

    What Multiverse Of Madness does though is that it keeps The Scarlett Witch as the main

  • 07:36

    villain and because of this it doesn’t cheapen her in the end.

  • 07:40

    The Dark Knight Rises showed that you can often strip one of the main talking points

  • 07:43

    of your film if you do a bait and switch at the end and I think it was smart of Marvel

  • 07:46

    to just be like ‘nope, Wanda is the bad guy.’

  • 07:50

    The film ends with her coming face to face with her children and a version of her self

  • 07:54

    which she ends up attacking.

  • 07:55

    This scares her children so much that she realises the monster that she’s become and

  • 07:59

    lies through her teeth saying that she didn’t hurt anyone.

  • 08:02

    She’s then faced with a version of herself who is the mother that she should be rather

  • 08:06

    than the person she’s become.

  • 08:07

    She tells her that they’ll be loved which finally breaks Wanda and makes her realise

  • 08:11

    her wrongdoings.

  • 08:13

    Even in this moment Scarlett Witch is so powerful that she can only be defeated by herself and

  • 08:18

    this strategy to take her into the life she could’ve had makes her see where she’s

  • 08:21

    gone wrong.

  • 08:22

    At her core Wanda still is a hero even though we’ve just watched her brutally murder people

  • 08:27

    for two hours and over the last 7 years we’ve followed the growth of the character as she’s

  • 08:32

    went from villain to hero and back to being a villain.

  • 08:34

    She’s arguably been on the most complex arc out of any MCU character and pushing her

  • 08:39

    over the deepend like this was not only surprising, but damn right divisive and for good reason.

  • 08:44

    We often don’t wanna see the faults in the heroes that we respect but watching her corrupted

  • 08:49

    by her selfish attitudes very much acts as an example of us of what not to do.

  • 08:54

    This is also mirrored in Strange who could potentially be with a version of Christine

  • 08:57

    at the end of the film but he forgoes this because of the incursion that it would cause.

  • 09:02

    Strange is such a hero in this moment because Wanda has been such a big villain throughout

  • 09:06

    the movie and them being at opposite ends of the spectrum is the perfect way to drive

  • 09:10

    the narrative.

  • 09:11

    Wanda very much feels like shes a monster from an 80s kids movie back before everything

  • 09:15

    got heavily sanitised and the horror she brings in the film is used expertly to terrify not

  • 09:20

    only the characters in the film but also us as an audience.

  • 09:23

    It’s masterful storytelling that allows her to become the perfect villain that this

  • 09:27

    film needs and in the hands of anyone else I think that Wanda may have underdelivered.

  • 09:32

    Instead Elisabeth Olsen completely knocks it out the park and delivers whats probably

  • 09:36

    her most memorable performance in the MCU.

  • 09:39

    Scarlett Witch was incredible and hopefully I’ve helped to make you appreciate the movie

  • 09:42

    a little bit more if you came out of it not liking the choices that they made.
