Mike so confidently saying "look it up bitch" and being wrong is sure to become an iconic moment
I was giggling at that part, funniest part of the video.
Slow zoom wrong stamp png over Mike's face is my favorite new RLM bit, hope it continues to be a running gag.
The WRONG_stamp-RGB.png descending on his face was chef’s kiss
My guess is this was a goof.
I said...all we need is a fade out and this scene is perfection. I was worried it wouldnt happen but then it fades out...and man 11/10. Good stuff!
Mike is literally explaining everything
DO NOT POST ANY REPLY! DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT TIMEBUCK
Nice timebucks
Op
Ooojh
Its wrong
Great point about showing her journey into darkness rather than what they did in the movie.
@RentallyChallenged if you cant reas between the lines there, thats one you. I thought the movie did a wonderful job and was honestly pretty horrifyingly real
@Steven Loube Well Ill be... You're absolutely right. The solution to all her problems, as defined by the parameters we're given, is so easy, everyone overlooked it.
Unless the hickup is that she knows they are fake and that she needs some other/para wordly assurance of their realness.
@Jonny Waldis agree with what you wrote, but my issue is that the children in WandaVision that she "lost" were created by her magic, and then she let them disappear. Why not just create them again?
@Jonny Waldis Exactly, if people begging her for death isn't evil, I don't know what is
I found it so hilarious how John Krazinski has been getting hounded by MCU fans for years now to play Mr. Fantastic, and he kept saying he had no interest in doing it. So when he FINALLY gave in, they killed him after like not even 5 minutes of screen time. I literally burst out laughing in the theater.
Why was he even their choice? Ioan Gruffudd is GOAT
I despised it.
@AutomaticFail well….yeah? He doesn’t want to kill her. She’s controlling their reality’s Wanda. Like, huh? What is this complaint? Ever heard of deterrence? And how was he supposed to know she could do something like that?
False criticism is false.
@AutomaticFail she's just a house wife in that universe so I can see why he'd try to reason with her. She doesn't have all the crazy reality alter powers from the 616. Still stupid on his part though
@Wilo Polis he left the project a while ago, but apparently it's rumored Krasinski will direct and write FF or Bryce Dallas Howard will direct. Sounds interesting to say the least, I like what they've done with films and TV.
I love how low the bar is for Mike enjoying things after Picard. "It made sense to me, and had a beginning, a middle, and an end."
I think its him just appreciating a straight forward movie that isn't convoluted or being bogged down.
Mike looks like he hasn't recorded the picard finale review yet, there's still life in his eyes
I heard what they did to Q in Picard S2 and yeah..... I'm so glad I tapped out of the franchise a few years back. Because Kurtzman and his, writers are just killing Trek.
ok
There is no finale. They announced season 3. Probably with Stewart exclusively in that seat he has in Strange 2. Will there be no end to this nightmare?
Yet
Mike died years ago
I was expecting a universe hopping adventure, and all I got was "ain't this an odd looking New York" a few times
ok
ok
Agreed. They made one reference to the paint universe in a throw away line about eating. The "crazy alternate universe" was literally just New York that used "green energy" and red was green and vice versa with two character swaps. Not much of a multiverse of madness
I feel most people should have reigned in their expectations but also Marvel should have changed the god damn name. They kind of baited with the title
@Cactus Malone I mean, they could have done more with the multiverse (pushed the universes they visited further, done more with the concept) but the idea of having like a *dozen* worlds is... too much for one movie. It would be pretty bad.
My major gripe with the multiverse is that it makes everything disposable. "Here's a brand new version of something, or some fan service - now watch us kill it off almost instantly with no over arching consequences"
stop asking questions and consume product, get exited for next product thereafter.
@Krzysztof Zięba I have a feeling they are leading to an event which will reset everything
It’s fascinating to see how the same idea can generate wildly different perspectives with just a slight shift in context.
In Marvel’s Exiles, where a team assembled from across the multiverse regularly hopped into different realities to try and fix things, the hook was basically “now that everyone is an alternate version of the original characters, there _can_ be real consequences”. Because the desperate need to maintain/restore the status quo in the main universe doesn’t apply, they don’t have to go back and undo every instance where a major character is killed. Death can actually mean _death._
Personally, I don’t feel like there are no consequences, it’s more like we didn’t see them. I wouldn’t be surprised if an episode of some future Disney+ show showed off what happened in the parallel earth they spent most of this movie in.
To OP: Yea I sorta felt the same way, nothing really has much meaning other than these fun 'one offs'.
What was up with that universe where the illuminati were, it starts like randomly crashing into another universe and they just stroll down the road and for some reason no other humans are around… and they know where they need to go… does that universe survive?! What happens to Red Head Rachel McAdams? I was confused at that bit.
My favorite thing about Jay is the amount of joy he got making a full minute edit of Mike's face with WRONG slowly being stamped over it lol
Mike being wrong is just as iconic as Rich Evans mispronouncing words
Chable
“…just as iconic as Rich Evans mispromouncing…mis-mis-mispronouncing words!”
I didn’t hate this film, but its peak was found in the credits, where a stunt performer can be found by the name of Hung Dong.
Imagine the reaction whenever he introduces himself to strangers.
@SSJ4Lunchbox I bet y'all are real close 😂
@AnomalousPhenomenon Reaching.
It's just a name, and that's about the size of it.
I hear he’s the protege of the infamous stuntman Seymour Butts
When I saw the thumbnail for a new half in the bag I murmured "oh god, yes" like a wife in a loveless marriage eating premium icecream.
Wow, that's... Oddly specific!
Andrew Garfield was the sarcastic smartass Spider-Man we always wanted, who unfortunately got stuck with the worst movies.
Best Spiderman, worst Peter Parker.
@GS Esquire don't blame Garfield for that. That movie was released around the time being emo was in. But he did a good job of being the smart Peter
@ANON Except Im not wrong. Peter Parker is not supposed to be a hip, skateboarding, cool, good looking guy with gel in his hair. Andrew Garfield had no idea how to play Peter correctly. He was alright when he was Spiderman, he played that well. But there is a reason his version obly got 2 movies and the whole series was cancelled after the second one bombed. Andrew failed with the Spiderman franchise and got his own franchise cancelled.
@GS Esquire sucks to be wrong, lol.
Jay and Mike: “Marvel films always have to have a joke to lighten the mood.” Also Jay and Mike: “This Marvel movie didn’t have enough jokes.”
maybe learn what context is?
Yeah i fucking reacted the same when they said that lmao
Tbf this is just a comment about badly balanced tone - which goes either way.
I love 'em, but Mike and Jay are always very wishy-washy
@Kekarot Yeah I don't get it, the stuff that they were complaining about was what I loved because it wasn't the overused usual marvel stuff, and they want more of the overused boring stuff back, what?! I am so done with the quips, the cameos, the usual plot of hero vs bad guy. I wish there was even more horror, this is supposed to be dark and bizarre.
At least we can both agree on Rachel McAdams' character being pointless and with no chemistry, I wish she wasn't included at all. I like Dr Strange best as a teacher/father figure to someone like Spiderman or America. The romantic plot is really boring and we've seen it a thousand times already.
I really enjoyed this as a low stakes, much more violent take on a Marvel film with some really fun sequences. The first section was really underwhelming, but see Raimi going full Evil Dead at the end was a really fun Twist! Also I feel like originally, the Villain was going to be Wanda from another Dimension who'd never gotten a chance at redemption, but maybe that plot got chopped for time?
@Fenrir Lives While I enjoyed the movie. I do feel like the point of this film was just set up the multiverse/incursions/Avengers Secret Wars film. You get that Sam Rami vibe and feel but it lacks like his full creative vision over the project (mostly in relation to the plot and events). The visuals are fantastic, especially with the camera work and presentation of weird magic stuff.
Just wished they added 10-20 minutes, it could add to the pacing and character development
@T3chromancer yeah and we're never going to interact with those aspects again, even with the sequel bait. That alternate universe was for exposition and fanservice
I want a rate R cut
The “Mike was wrong” segment was informative, funny and poignant.
ok
@Frodo T. Baggins the length is why it's funny
@Frodo T. Baggins The rediculous length of it is what made it funny for me
Other than it going on a little too long
24:06 just because I know I'll look for it in the future
The music note battle was an interesting idea, but probably executed too on the nose. A musician and a concept artist I think could hash out some really interesting ideas if they thought about the sound and shape of the notes more.
"Can I go now? Are you done with me?" probably the most accurate possible review for this movie.
Underlined by that last after credits scene in the movie.
Jay dragging Mike into this movie eventhough I got a feeling Mike was actually the one who enjoyed the movie more
LMFAOO Mike saying “look it up bitch” only to be proven wrong immediately is so good.
Since Mike got fact checked, I gotta fact check Jay at 28:50 and point out the character is not called 'Mac the Knight', he is 'Mac Tonight'.
Now I gotta fact-check you. They literally showed the text of the 'Mac Tonight' on screen 17 seconds later while Mike says "The Night". Jay fact-checked himself already.
@Jackson F to be totally odl-fashioned,... this even goes back to "The Threepenny Opera" 1928 - Berthold Brecht
He actually said Mack the Knife which is a hit song from 1959. I know mike is old but jeez
I love it when Jay pretends to know what he's talking about. Like not even a knock against him I genuinely love it.
Takes a lot of cues from Mike it looks like. Can't fault em
It's cute
Loved the third act. It was like riding the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
Kudos to the editor: that “wrong” sequence was priceless 😂😂😂
@Jan P *WRONG*
Mike is the editor ^^.
Really hoping they do a video on Everything Everywhere all at Once. That movie had all the creativity I wished this movie had.
Dr Strange took a major hit because I saw a far superior multiverse movie the night before: Everything Everywhere All At Once.
The way Mike explains how he would have shot a multi-scene Multiverse montage sounds like something that could have been right out of Buffy.
@GS Esquire :D Very much
So well paced and interesting? Unlike Marvel films.
Mike is literally explaining everything everywhere all at once talking about the montage.
@Anthony Joseph Literally everything everywhere all at once
@Bumbo Bamble Gogglestrothem The Eighteenth literally?
@Anthony Joseph durrr durrr literally??? durrrrrr durrr
Literally?
I like that Sam directed it like an actual movie. That alone goes a long way for me which again is why I’m not so quick to judge the movie. It could’ve been WAY worse from both Marvel AND Raimi.
I usually get nervous when an original director leaves over “creative differences” but I’m so glad Scott Derrikson didn’t direct this one. He’s a serviceable albeit bland director who feels like even HE doesn’t think his stuff is good enough cause when he has something interesting like a Sinister, he bogs it down with jumpscares and orchestra stings. I’m so happy to see another great Raimi film after his last film was Oz
No Way Home's spider dudes being really interested in the fact that Spider-Man went to space and fought Thanos was amazing I thought. No matter how self referencing.
I love how Mike recaps plots like he's solving a math problem
That should be a note to anyone who tried to write anything. Never get so tangled that Mike has to do this.
Not easy putting up with dementia and all those Picard nightmares
Dude, he,s trying to remeber something he just saw give his elderly alcoholic brain some credit for working at all
I can't believe they haven't watched Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. I would've loved to hear them compare the two very different multiverse films.
I loved when Wanda destroyed the Illuminati. I was already comparing her to Dr Doom from the fant4stic movie and then she does something really similar to that.
The only problem with that scene is if she can vanish someone's mouth, she could just do that with their whole face and suffocate them. No need for actual fighting at all.
As for the music scene being set up, Dr. Strange was established as a music aficionado in the first movie. His whole photographic memory show off scene naming the artist and release date
Kudos to the editor: that “wrong” sequence was priceless 😂😂😂
It was Jay! I mean, Susan!
Dr Strange should have gone to the universe where Mike was right about Easter Eggs.
It's also the universe where Cameron Mitchell was in Samurai Cop.
*slide whistle noise*
Universe without Star Trek on Paramount
You mean the universe without alcohol
Not even Disney has the budget for THAT
I didn't want to spoil the movie, so I waited until I was able to go see it to watch this. It was excruciating!
Really hope yall get an opportunity to talk about everything everywhere all at once. It is one of best movies I've seen in a while, and its finally catching on box office wise
This. I watched it on Friday spontaneously because of the comparisons and it was much more original, creative, wild, fun and touching. Just a unique experience which is increasingly rare.
If you want a movie that takes it's concept and runs with it, that is the movie to see. Dr Strange runs with it's premise for about 8 minutes in the first third and then stick to like 2 universes for the rest of it.
It fucking rocked
I'm surprised there wasn't a tip of the hat, since it's another "multiverse movie"... Just done well.
WE HEARD YOU
"Top Hat Monkey" truly evokes the works of the Dutch masters such as Vermeer, Bosch, Rembrandt van Rijn and Philips Wouwerman
A truly exquisite piece.
I saw this the other day. The theatre cheered when Jim from The Office showed up. I was like "what?" The picard came out, no one made a sound. So i had to give a wooo solo
I shout "THAT'S JIM HALPERT" to a no shit reaction in Chino CA
@Ungreatful Duck the xmen theme was a cute reference too.
@teetheluchador I don´t know if I´ld say I was excited or more confused. Nice reference to the worst MCU thing so far though, he truly was the unexpected member of the Iluminati for me.
Funnily enough, my theater had the oposite reaction. Nobody knew who Krasinky was since Fantastic Four are not huge here in Spain and The Office never made it big either here. But everybody knew Patrick Steward from the old X-Men movies, a guy even behind me even screamed "shit that´s Xavier from the wolverine movies!!", which felt weird because here on Spain people only scream at the cinemas to make jokes, there´s no clapping, cheering and screaming culture.
My theater and I did the same exact reaction.
I know for me, seeing Jim was truly a shocking unexpected moment. But then right afterwards, we get Patrick and he kinda gets absorbed into the overall moment.
I was excited for Patrick too, but I wasn't really finished being excited for Jim, if that makes sense. And Jim was more unexpected than Patrick.
I love that these guys have basically created a decade-long career out of trying to make good jokes to each other
Rich Evans is my favorite joke.
it elevates the experience
Emphasis on the “trying.”
i like how incredibly wrong Mike is when he's so confident in his wrong thoughts. it makes it clear that even the people we like are idiots, which is something i've always had a lot of trouble with. also, Moonknight seems to be pretty popular, just because you haven't watched it or aren't interested doesn't make that not-so...
Couldn’t care less about these movies but I always look forward to seeing the boys talking about them
For years now I've been trying to articulate my thoughts about fantasy adventure movies and here's what I have so far. To make an effective fantasy story, there needs to be more of the mundane than of magic, mystery, and might. Less is more. But the MCU has for the most part become one cgi fest after another. The charm of Iron Man and the very first Spider-man was the real set pieces, the vulnerability of the characters, and the fact that they had JOBS. They ate food, drove cars, worried about money, watched the news, interacted with regular people, etc. I think the slow and novel emergence of a transcendent being and their antithesis rival in an otherwise mundane world is the most fascinating story of all, while going past that will always be less astonishing. I mean FFS, this movie kicks off with Strange casually battling a giant tentacle monster in a city street while Christine is practically rolling her eyes at it instead of having any kind of normal reaction like I dunno screaming in insane terror. Mordo said it best... "there's too many sorcerers". All the Thors, Captains, Animalmen, and cookie cutter rogues they face don't do it for me anymore. These all feel like Pixar movies to me now, formulaic and forgettable :( I hate being old. HOWEVER THERE IS HOPE. I watched The Batman and it was so refreshing! If you told me (arguably) the best Batman movie ever would star the Twilight guy and John Turturro and Colin Farrel as fucking Penguin, I never would have believed you.
The easter egg bit had me roaring. Oh my, I sure do appreciate you, RedLetterMedia.
My favorite part of the movie is when Doctor Strange turns to Wanda and asks, "What are we, some kind of multiverse of madness?"
@Logi Rogi That's the joke. Ever since "Suicide Squad" had the audacity to have someone say "So we're a Suicide Squad?" people have been making fun of that in other movies
Roll credits. 👍
That's the name of the movie!
„In the end Andy and me really had our Shawshank Redemption.“
I thought he said "I"ve got a bad feeling about this...", you know, to stay on brand.
The fun creative aspects from Raimi carried the movie a ton. Elizabeth also did a fantastic job with her slasher villain character. She stole the show for me. What the most grating aspect of the movie was marvels input. All the non stop exposition that was required, just so they fit into the larger puzzle.
Funniest moment ever on this channel "look it up bitch!" and Mike being "Wrong" and with that sentimental music to top it. I was in tears laughing so hard.
Watching a RLM video where they review a superhero movie fills me with warmth and comfort, because it reminds me of a time when my life wasn’t in shambles.
I love how Mike recaps plots like he's solving a math problem
Proving Mike wrong on the Easter eggs was the best edit in a TheXvid video ever. The factual captions, the slow wrong symbol on to mikes face and a lil fade at the end so beautiful.
@Dilly Good for you?
I pressed the skip 10 seconds button alot
It truly enshrined and relished the glorious moment of Mike being confidently blatantly wrong lmao
Fun fact: the Easter egg in Adventure was the last object needed in Ready Player One
Suprised he got that one wrong, he read Ready Player One, it explains the origins of easter eggs in the book.
Wanda started as a villain who tried to use "moral relevancy" to justify her actions.
Then she made up for her actions and got right.
Then she went off the evil crazy rails, big-time. It was hard to sympathize or empathize with someone who literally held an entire town hostage.
Yeah, people who say she's a sympathetic character are weird. Controlling other people to make up for your own problems is standard villain behavior.
@NegaGreg sure, i'm not defending any of it.. that part just stood out to me the most. I do think that superheroes can be really interesting when a good writer is behind the wheel though. the comics have complex and nuanced stories with characters that people love. i wish we could get that in movies
@joox but isn’t that kind of an exploration of the superhero condition?
**Drops Eastern European city from the sky, but collects half the citizens on a helicarrier before it smacks back to earth**
Avengers: “um, you’re welcome!”
I like Wanda always having been 1 bad day from full on villain.
she didn't just hold them hostage, she used their bodies for her pleasure and then when she was done she had the balls to be sad about having to let them go. 'they will never know what you did for them...' what a joke
Whenever anyone says “I can’t see Wanda being like this after WandaVision” I’m like, did any of you people watch the ending of that show?
I dont think either people are wrong to be honest. The point is the same as mentioned by Jay in this episode- the movie undermines the journey she goes through in the show.
Not even just the ending. She kidnapped an entire town and forced them to do what she wanted. Its pretty fucked up.
Every time I start one of these videos I begin to think you guys have lost it, and as the video progresses you show me that you've still got it.
You're going to slap Red Letter media for making jokes too?
Lol
@j00tubeisgay Yeah do move on. You clearly don't enjoy it anymore. Many of us still do and I disagree with everything you said. For me, everything they still put out is on-brand for them and exactly how it was years ago. The humor never came from the jokes themselves but from their self-aware kitsch nature. It has always been that way. Oh well.
As someone extremely cynical about anything related to marvel, I got to say this movie won me over by the later half, particularly after the brutality of the Illuminati fight. The audio, camera angles, and emotional sequences definitely had Raimi's secret sauce, and I was pleasantly surprised by the the horror elements. It feels refreshingly unsanitized unlike most of the franchise. Although the plot is not great it ends on a strong note, and is more relatable than "badguy purple mcguffin man" of the week as per usual. This isn't Raimi's best work, but it's an exceptionally fun watch; more fun than I've had with marvel in actual years. And that's ultimately what these movies aim for anyway. I think he was the perfect pick for a doctor strange film.
Just got back from the movie. First one I've seen in theatres since the pandemic. Knowing that the was a half in the bag was a huge motivator and cases finally got low enough for me to go for it!
The “Mike was wrong” segment was informative, funny and poignant.
I think I’d they spent time hopping universes the critics would have said “ they never spend enough time in the other universes to flesh them out and make them memorable”
They really need to watch everything everywhere all at once. Every complaint they have about this movie is executed perfectly in that film.
I love the part where Doctor Strange started traveling from one universe to another to acquire dozens of NFT’s and then selling them in different universes so he could raise more money for the set of the next Avengers film.
Ah, the old inter-universal pump and dump
This feels like one of those template jokes.
@When Pigs Fly oh yeah, it sucks that I can’t spoil that part to any of my friends until after they watch it. So awesome
The most unbelievable part of the film is that there are universes where NFTs are worth something.
When Jay described Patrick Stewart as "the old bag of bones" I laughed so hard 🤣
Doctor Strange was into music since the beginning of the first movie. While performing a surgery, the other doctors were testing Strange's musical knowledge.
My coworker was the first person to discover that first Easter Egg. Look up Adam Clayton. I think you can find a copy of the letter he sent in to Atari after discovering it. You run into interesting characters in the game industry.
We work for WB, so when we went to a free screening of Ready Player One (a WB movie), it was really neat to see that the last "puzzle" was to find the Easter Egg in Adventure.
i love mike's backstory of 'easter eggs' moreso than the real one
I just love the idea of Jay taking Mike to see the movie to help him relax from Picard and Mike reacting in Horror at Professor X appearing 😂
I feel like I might have disturbed the people sitting next to me because every time he rolled on screen I couldn't help but wheeze a bit
Thinking about mike reacting in pure fear in the theater while he comes into the movie is hilarious
Lol, this must be their shortest Half in the Bag episode in years
17:56 I love when Mike gives these corny cliche ideas that in Retrospect would 100% fit the movie
17:55 it's so cute seeing mike trying to come up with something he thinks he would enjoy. and jay blindly agrees with him.
In the first Dr. Strange Cumberbatch, in the operating room, was a music buff. He knew all there was to know about Feel So Good by Chuck Mangione.
What’s amazing is that the book Ready Player 1 even talked about the very first Easter egg. Mike read the book and talked about it in the film review.
When Patrick Stewart appeared onscreen, I immediately envisioned Mike's soul leaving his body.
He can't escape him
Far From Home is like the last marvel thing I managed to enjoy. I'm glad Mike likes it
I agree with Jay so much. It might as well be Wanda's movie
I've got to admit, seeing Patrick Stewart getting his neck broken was oddly therapeutic after that Picard Season 2.
I really wish you guys would review The Batman movie. It was awesome. I mean it's a better use of time than ST: Picard.
Jay, remember that in the first Dr. Strange movie an intern quizzes him on the years songs were released. And nails every single one of them. So he knows about music. Hence the musical notes battle.
That 'wrong' edit is so majestically whimsical. Makes me laugh my ass off
I know this can be explained by "plot not being engaging", but the way they describe the events seems like they didn't follow the dialogue. I don't blame em, but its jarring to complain about something just because you didnt pay attention.
Also, I think the whole undead strange being the hero is meant to be humorous.
Mike's eyes when he's being goofy kills me every time.
Thank God I can just lay back and listen to you guys banter. It's been a long day. Llove you guys.
I was hoping that half way through this review there'd be a "universe swap" where Mike and Jay were in different outfits and were reviewing Everything Everywhere All At Once.
A few years ago, when they still put effort in their skits, it would have been possible. Now? Forget about it.
I feel like we might have to wait until their 2022 yearly catchup of movies they liked
That’s too clever for these hack-frauds!
I feel like that movie is going to be what mike was hoping this movie would be. Really hope they get around to seeing it
Same!
I thought this was one of the best MCU films I saw in a while so forgive me if I get a little butt hurt at criticisms. I definitely see and get where the films detractors are coming from at times but can we just stop and enjoy this nice thing for a little bit before we start overthinking it to shit? I think Sams intention was to show how you shouldn’t be taking this shit THAT seriously. I also disagree that the third act turns back into usual marvel fair. I GUESS? you can say it does but I thought this whole movie felt like a breath of fresh air and actually made Strange his own character instead of just another snarky Stark clone
Watching you guys try to figure out something that already happened in the comics is kind of painful but also comical.
in a good way.
They never read comix. Too busy watching Star Track
I didn't know Sam Raimi directed this before I went to see it. Bruce Campbell twigged me, and from there on out I looked for the hallmarks that Jay always talks about when he reviews a Sam Raimi movie. Flying camera? Check. POV from inside objects? Check. Danny Elfman? Check. You guys taught me well 😆
The best thing a marvel movie can do is make you want to watch it again. I would not watch shang chi or black widow again but I'd watch Dr Strange again tomorrow. The movie is fun and engaging with interesting visuals and action. Plus Charlize Queen is in the MCU now, Disney wins.
I loved the part where Dr. Strange turned into Morbius, made a dozen clones of Morbius, and used their bodies as wings to fly. Peak cinema.
Morbius? Like the guy in The Matrix?
This isn't even an inaccurate description.
Punisher showing up was awesome
@insomnomnomnia Yes it was my man!
Don't make me hungry. You won't like me when I'm hungry. 😒
I’m glad Mike enjoyed far from home and no way home, they’re actually good marvel movies worth watching
Watching this show made me wonder if dating apps existed. Both Dr Strange and Wanda could just have moved on. Like hit up tinder you can't be that unlikable.
I just realized I've been riding with you guys for over 6 years! Good Job fellas, haven't shaken me yet.
I’ve heard the ‘why is Wanda evil now’ complaint a few times. I think it’s a combination of ‘she’s always been a villain’ and ‘MCU didn’t bother to show her descent because harming others to achieve her own selfish wants is her core character trait. It’s what keeps cropping up even when she tries to do better. It’s her nature.
The main problem people have with this nonsense is that the writing and other characters are constantly justifying her actions like she does nothing wrong. At the end of Wanda vision "They'll never know what you sacrificed for them"....for real? She's been torturing this entire community including they're children. Garbage woke writing doesn't want to actually hold the female villain accountable. I miss good writing so bad.
Haha, I knew Jay wouldn't be able to resist a new Sam Raimi movie.
@Kristjan Kangro
I'd say even on writing.
@ArlanKels So better in terms of everything except the most important part: the writing?
@Kristjan Kangro
Not in the slightest.
This was easily better in terms of visuals, sound track, atmosphere, and villain.
@Tommy Tsunami I mean, if it ever turns out that an upcoming Marvel movie is being directed by, let's say, Tarantino or Scorsese-hell, even Uwe Boll-I sure as hell will be seeing it anyway
This isn’t a Sam Raimi film; this is a Kevin Fiege production.
This was a fun video, thank you! I've linked your work in our article about the film
Looking forward to a 20-minute extender version of Mike being branded wrong.
The first two minutes of this video was the most enjoyable part of my life I will ever have.
We really don't deserve Mike and Jay. They truly bless us with every upload.
I feel like same with everything else, a montage would’ve been great especially from Sam Raimi like the Spider-man 2 one. Pandering, but still really enjoyable👍
Wanda’s heel turn reminded me a *lot* of Saruman’s betrayal of Gandalf in LOTR in that it was bewilderingly fast.
Mike knows all about the Multiverse. It's like that TNG episode Parallels.
I loved it! It was lil' bit Carrie and a lil' Dream Warriors and a whole serving of Evil Dead, and everybody but Strange, Wong and the final girl pretty much die in this thing. If only the first act had a bit more structure to it, and if it had that montage Mike suggested and I didn't know I needed until now, it would've been truly great.
Lol, this must be their shortest Half in the Bag episode in years
The last episode that was shorter than this was their Joker review in 2019, which was 27 minutes long
@Jalen Thomas I think we all are
Just like the movie itself.
All about that Algorithm lol it’s trending as I type this in top 10
child’s play 2019 from june is 25 minutes
17:55 what mike said is exactly what happened half way through the counsel of Ricks episode. Mike did a better job of interpreting Rick and Morty into Dr Strange than an actual writer on Rick and Morty.
How dare Mike not give Marvel28: Doctor Strange 2 the respect it deserves. He needs to respect the artistic integrity of film for once and stop talking about Star Trek
Oscar Isaac is incredible as moon knight. Great 1st season, but by the end of it I can see it will be just another “super hero” movie.
I love hearing the perspective of my two favorite rotting old men.
