Spider-Man 3: 2 lines verdict ×1 craft ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Spider-Man 3 → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Spider-Man 3 is more purely Raimi but disappoints because Patrick cares about that story; he doesn't care about Doctor Strange's references.
    “even though it's much more of a pure Raimi movie.”

Avatar: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Avatar → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Avatar has no visible seams, unlike franchise movies such as Doctor Strange 2 that lop off swaths.
    “You were talking about Doctor Strange 2 and how there are huge swaths of that movie that you can just see, they just lopped off.”
    The Big Picture · The Great ‘Avatar’ Debate with Blank Check’s Griffin Newman and David Sims · 0:49:58 · Sean Fennessey (0.70 sure it was them)

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (teen character problem): Black Panther: Wakanda Forever → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Sean sees Riri Williams as the second recent puckish teen hero, after America Chavez, whom the audience has no prior relationship with.
    “we just had this with America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness.”

Blank Check: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness → Blank Check. Scarlet Witch manipulating computers with magic recalls the hosts' Hacker Witch bit.
    “She manipulates the computer using magic, thereby witch hacker.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Marvel Nerdfest · 0:39:57 · Griffin Newman (0.40 sure it was them)

Eternals: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Eternals → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Eternals let a director shoot it her way and it is called their biggest folly; Raimi gets a bit more latitude.
    “It is now perceived as their biggest folly ever.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Marvel Nerdfest · 0:30:39 · Patrick Willems (0.50 sure it was them)

Fantastic Four: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness → Fantastic Four. The multiverse is a way to fold Fox's X-Men and Fantastic Four into a 25-movie universe.
    “figure out what the fuck to do with the Fox things they've inherited”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Marvel Nerdfest · 0:16:19 · Griffin Newman (0.50 sure it was them)

Justice League: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness → Justice League. Stewart's Professor X with the old chair and sting is like Elfman reusing the Batman and Superman themes: clever or fan service.
    “I'm going to use my Batman theme.”

Look Who's Talking: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (post-credit shock): Look Who's Talking → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Joan Rivers end-credit reveal is likened to Clea appearing in Doctor Strange's credits.
    “as shocking as Joan Rivers voicing a baby at the end of look who's talking.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Look Who's Talking with Hillary Busis · 2:21:22 · David Sims (0.50 sure it was them)

Marvels (comic): 1 line what-if ×1

  1. what-if (what-if): Marvels (comic) → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. A daring Marvel project would be Marvels, a photojournalist witnessing the history of the Marvel universe.
    “it's basically just one guy witnessing the the world changing”

Rachel McAdams: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Rachel McAdams → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. McAdams was in a Raimi film but terribly underused in it.
    “when we saw the trailer for Dr. Strange 2 directed by Sam Raimi, she was in flashback”

Spider-Man: No Way Home: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (industry): Spider-Man: No Way Home → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Multiverse lets Marvel turn sequels into Lego sequels, like a Force Awakens inside a newer franchise.
    “by using the multiverse, they can now turn these sequels into Lego sequels.”

X-Men: Days of Future Past: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (continuity): Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness → X-Men: Days of Future Past. Professor X here is not the same version as Patrick Stewart's in the Fox X-Men movies.
    “the Professor X that shows up in this movie is not the same one from the Fox movies.”

craft (1)

  1. craft (craft): Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness → Spider-Man 3. Opening tentacle scene has shots that lead into each other; the Illuminati fight is less fluid than Raimi's usual action.
