When the film was released, I was looking forward to it. The setting of the multiverse and the return of some old characters make this film a very important part of Marvel movies. But after I watched the film, I found that it was just another mediocre trailer for the future film. The concept of multiverse is an advantage for a Dr. Strange movie. But I didn't expect it to be very bad and stupid.

The main purpose of this film is to show the multiverse. It abandoned the follow-up to the story of Doctor Strange and the exploration of the wizarding world. There is almost no characterization. I don't see how Strange's experience has anything to do with letting go of his obsession with Christine Palmer, which shows that the character has changed too abruptly. His inner line was separated from the story line. The connection between the plots was very stiff and lacked the emotion to touch people. It completely turned the Doctor Strange story into a tool to expand MCU's worldview. As a sequel, the main purpose of the film should be to continue to dig deep into the core of the character, rather than showing too much of the multiverse.

The film led to a new group of superheroes called Illuminati, and brought a lot of old and new characters into this story. This was supposed to be another surprise for audience. But their presence did not play any role, but only served as cannon fodder for being killed. It made me wonder if Marvel was trying to piss off fans. This kind of behavior is a disrespect to the actors, an insult to the characters, and a disdain to every fan.

In WandaVision, Wanda learned one thing, that is, heroes don't torture people. But in the movie, she made the same mistake again, just like Peter Parker in No Way Home. Is Marvel so fond of ignoring the growth of characters? As for America Chaves, she's just a puppet who can open the multiverse portal and keep the story going. Another new hero without character portrayal, just like Kate Bishop, Miss Marvel, She-hulk, Yelena, Riri Williams and Adam Warlock.
