Let’s get one thing straight: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is not a tidy Marvel movie. It’s chaotic, messy, and at times, genuinely terrifying. But is that a flaw? Not entirely. Directed by Sam Raimi (of Evil Dead and original Spider-Man fame), this film trades the usual MCU formula for horror-tinged spectacle, uneven pacing, and some of the wildest cameos you’ll ever see. But is that a flaw

While the movie bears Stephen Strange’s name, many argue it is just as much a sequel to WandaVision. The film explores the corrupting influence of the Darkhold on Wanda Maximoff. Driven by the grief of losing her sons, Billy and Tommy, Wanda evolves into the Scarlet Witch—a formidable antagonist who proves that a mother’s love, when twisted by dark magic, is the most dangerous force in the multiverse. 3.

On the other side is Wanda Maximoff, the film’s true protagonist and most tragic figure. Multiverse of Madness completes a devastating arc that began in WandaVision. There, she enslaved a town to live a sitcom-perfect life with a synthetically conjured family; here, she has graduated to chasing her children across dimensions. The film reframes her not as a simple villain, but as a portrait of unresolved trauma weaponized. Her line, “You break the rules and become a hero. I do it and become the enemy,” cuts to the heart of the film’s critique of the MCU’s moral calculus. Wanda is what happens when a hero is denied the structures of support—friends, a community, a clear purpose—that Strange has in the form of Wong and America Chavez. Her madness is methodical: she has read the Darkhold, a book that promises control over chaos, and it has twisted her maternal love into a voracious, all-consuming need. Raimi visualizes this through body horror and the terrifying image of Wanda “dream-walking” as a rotting corpse, suggesting that trauma, when suppressed rather than processed, literally decomposes the self.
