"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is a 2022 American superhero film directed by Sam Raimi and written by Michael Waldron. The film is based on the Marvel Comics character Doctor Strange and serves as the 28th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

From "Zombie Strange" to the brutal Illuminati sequence, this was easily one of the most unique-feeling MCU movies. Elizabeth Olsen’s performance as the Scarlet Witch remains a top-tier villain arc.

Wanda's Descent: Picking up after the events of WandaVision, Wanda uses the Darkhold to "dreamwalk" into other realities to find her sons, Billy and Tommy.

"You break the rules and become a hero. I do it and I become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair." – Wanda Maximoff.

Theoretical Framework:

  • Dutch angles: The camera is permanently tilted, making every scene feel off-kilter and dizzying.
  • Gross-out horror: A corpse of an alternate Strange uses his own ghost to possess our Strange. Wanda’s “Dreamwalking” sequences involve cracked, veiny skin and bloodshot eyes.
  • Brutal deaths: This is not your typical PG-13 Marvel movie. We witness characters being torn apart, sliced in half by a magical shield, and literally exploded from the inside out.
