That's called "Being a critic" and it existed long before Twitter and it's a big reason why poo poo like the mean and all-powerful Food Critics in Ratatouille and Chef are so loving laughable to anyone who knows even the faintest whiff of how the media industry has always worked. You get a certain amount of latitude, but there are always those you have to play nice with to some degree or you'll find yourself on the fringe unable to survive on the cushy-as-gently caress job of consuming and rating media for a living.

It's not just a good visual, it was really neat writing how they have Banner say 'he could kill everyone with a snap of his fingers' to establish the threat but while it's obviously a figure of speech in that conversation, planting that image in the audience's mind pays off massively when he does snap his fingers at the end and you understand immediately what's happened.

They were setting that up before the movie even came out. The bit at the beginning of the second trailer with Gamora (edited to look like she's talking to Tony). "If he gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers..."

You must be a masochist
Outside of time, Loki/Sylvie had to happen at least before Infinity War, so Strange could survey the possible outcomes.

This probably just means that they're already familiar with the multiverse and can tap into it, but I don't think a botched spell would create it.

Well, of course I know him.

It could be that Sylvie killing Kang weakened the multiverse enough for Strange to gently caress around and break it. For all we know it happened simultaneously given how time worked in Kang’s little pocket dimension thing.

Klungo make bessst ever video game, 'Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh World.'

I assume that Sylvia created the multiverse, and then Strange and Peter gently caress up enough to weaken the walls between universes and have them spill out onto each other.

Definitely seems like this could only happen after HWR dies and the TVA gets swamped.

Here's my theory: The way HWR explained the multiverse backstory sounded like it existed just fine for ages until Kangs found a way to cross universes and THAT'S when the poo poo got bad. This implies there have been 2 barriers to crossing universes that needed to fall: One, the TVA needs to fall to allow multiple universes to exist together (no more pruning) and two, someone needs to do the magical or tech thing to cause the bridge between universes to open or otherwise become accessible. It seems that Loki and Sylvie accomplished one and Strange is gonna fiddle around with the other.

That is what I was thinking as well. Loki/Sylvie started the fire and Strange poured fuel on it.

I expect at some point for at least one of these upcoming movies to be set in a universe that ISN'T the prime MCU that we've been in all this time but they don't tell us until partway through. It's too tempting of a low hanging fruit premise for them to resist.

Is it weird that I kind of want it to actually be reformed-ish Doc Ock from the end of the movie? And then he can team up with Strange and the Spider-Men. Idk, I just think it'd be a neat twist. Although, it would leave the teams a bit lopsided...

It is a little weird that Ock and Sandman are going against Peter since they had been sympathetic.

Oh duh,I missed it at first but the main villain could be The Sinister Six, right? Ock, Goblin, Electro, Vulture and Mysterio have all been introduced, you only need Kraven.

Not certain but it's a possibility now, or maybe for next movie

... So of they Bring in Ock and Goblin from Spider-Maguire's universe, Electro from Spider-Garfield's Universe, and Vulture from Spider-Holland's universe, that still leaves the door open to bring in Bruce Campbell as a new Mysterio.

The teaser had clearly been cut. Some dickwad from a VFX company decided he wanted to beat Sony to it.

(No Way Home is not a Disney movie.)

Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Vulture, Electro, Sandman, Scorpion/Lizard.

Vulture is the only one that doesn't appear in the trailer
