Let’s go to Mrs. Grillo to see what she thinks about the multiverse of madness.
“It’s about time we got a sequel to Doctor Strange, it has been a long time coming. Though, if you really think about it, this movie feels more like a Wanda story than anything else. She was the one who changed the most, and I must say she made a vicious villain. This movie is darker than most of the Marvel movies, and I think the jury is still out. I really liked that. My favorite thing about the movie is the idea that our dreams are really just glimpses into another universe. This opened a world of mind-blowing ideas for this creative soul. Overall, Doctor Strange may not rank as one of my favorites of the MCU, but I did thoroughly enjoy it.”
