Despite Sam Raimi's best efforts, this by-the-numbers sequel shows you can't make a meal out of easter eggs for fans.
DSITMOM reserves its worst treatment for Elizabeth Olson’s Wanda Maximoff, aka The Scarlet Witch. Maximoff is an intriguing character in Marvel canon, and was given a very rich backstory in previous. All that gets flattened into cackling villainy here because it turns out that what one of the most powerful beings on earth secretly wants is to be a suburban mom, and she’s willing to destroy all of reality to satisfy that desire.
during Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center on July 23, 2016 in San Diego, California. Director Sam Raimi tries to salvage this mess with his trademark flourishes of levity, over-the-top gore and kinetic camera movement. But that task proves harder than trying to get a zombie to do magic by remote control from the next dimension over.
In lieu of a compelling, character-driven story or groundbreaking visual effects, DSITMOM substitutes generous helpings of fan service. Its biggest emotional moments are completely extrinsic to the story, and rely on next-level MCU knowledge, residual fan affection for old properties, or the promise of new, long-awaited additions to the MCU.
brings back familiar characters doing their familiar things, includes some fine action set-pieces, introduces several ideas and characters like America Chavez who might prove more interesting later, and advances the master storyline another step or two.many will enjoy it. Some non-Marvel fans will see it, and perhaps a few may understand it, or enjoy it without having any idea what most of it is about.
Most of all, anyone who is a Marvel fan who has somehow resisted subscribing to Disney Plus will probably sign up for a trial membership so they can figure out how all this relates to the past two years’ worth of streaming content. And that, I’m afraid, is what it’s all about.
