Finally watched Far From Home and No Way Home, got in my feelings, made a playlist.
For a grownup kid who’s forgotten, but not beaten. Starts off sad but gets progressively more hopeful and upbeat.
Unlike most of my other playlists, I don’t have a whole ton of explanatory notes for the track listing. But I will say the song Good for Goodness is on here specifically because of the AO3 tag ‘May Parker’s enduring legacy’

Doctor Strange 2 Spoilers
Can I just say how much I love the frustratingly static humanity of Stephen Strange and the sheer relatability of his films?
Yeah I know I know they’re actually very complicated films packed with totally new concepts and artistry and reality. But Stephen is so human. He is an arrogant man, built upon a throne of validation and sorrow that he refuses to yield. He’s brilliant, he’s lonely, he’s stubborn, he doesn’t actually change. I haven’t seen him change. “Oh but ‘Stories he abandons the path to healing his hands and becoming a surgeon again! He sacrifices (what’s speculated to be) years of his life dying at the repetitive hands of Dormammu!” Yes that most certainly is a change in lanes but he’s still in the same car; the world around him changed but he didn’t. He’s still arrogant, and stubborn, and lonely, and gentle. He’s shockingly gentle.
I have heard a lot of people use this as a criticism on Stephen’s development. To be fair of course, he is in a superhero movie he should change mid movie into a man people could look up to in order to be rightfully seen as a hero, right? I don’t know. I find his lack of “practical” betterment as it should be. Doctor Strange 1, in my opinion as someone who has no life experience that can be likened to Stephen’s, wasn’t about Stephen becoming a hero, it was about a person letting the escutcheon of vanity bleed and become vulnerable. Preferably for niceness in this case. Because Stephen was already kind, he didn’t need to learn that. He was a surgeon who held peoples lives on the line and refused—refused—to be the one responsible for their detriment. “You want me to screw up my perfect record?” “When I became a doctor, I swore an oath to do no harm. And I have just killed a man! I am not doing that again.”
And after seeing MOM, this really drives the point that he has always shielded people from truly “seeing through him” as The Ancient One would say, and therefore hasn’t actually changed just that much further. He let himself be consumed with the god complex of a rich-successful-surgeon because if he was a god then he wouldn’t fail to save anyone, no one including himself could be unlucky. Like his sister, his sister who died when they were just kids playing on a lake. Who he doesn’t talk about. Who he “failed to save.” “You want to go back to the delusion that you can control anything. Even death.”
At the end of the film, he doesn’t go back. Obviously, it’s a first installment of the new marvel hero franchise. But then we see him in Ragnorkak, and could have, let’s face it, easily “killed” Loki by making him fall into giant monster’s stomach, but instead he talks it out with Thor and helps them find Odin and leaves them be. He only wanted to make sure there wasn’t a threat. Such a simple goal, find the threat (Loki, Thanos, a bullet in a man’s brain) and eliminate it (help Thor and Loki, give up the time stone and die again, rush into emergency surgery). And I don’t have the time to get into him in IW and Endgame, and the affects on his sense of authority and ego shown in the chapel in MOM, and quite frankly I don’t think I’d do it any justice. He held the fate of half the universe with his shaking hands and with the questions of “what if I just looked at one more reality, one more outcome, what would I have found? What if it didn’t have to be that way and I stopped too soon? I caused so much suffering, I know it was worth the survival but should I be forgiven?” I’m still trying to figure out how that would be for him.
Though, maybe it’s comparable to how he was before. Questions he might’ve had before we met him. “If I had just said no to the lake would Donna be alive? Should I be forgiven for failing to save her? If I save other’s lives, would I still have to feel guilty? Would I feel better? Would they be better if I helped?”
And then we see him in NWH. He sees Peter hurting, in need of help, this kid has his future threatened and needs it fixed, and there’s no one else to do that than Stephen. His goal was so simple. Help Peter. Fix it, for the kid, because he’s good and he deserves it. Stephen was prepared to forget Peter, that means Stephen wouldn’t get praise or gratitude he could appreciate from Peter. He was trying to be kind, and he was gentle. But then the spell messes up, and he’s stern and stubborn, and acting all knowing like a god scoffing at a mortals pleadings for a different judgement. And then Stephen has to help Peter, the only way he knows how, destruction. He’s the same as he’s always been.
And now MOM, where his only goal, the entire movie, was to help America Chavez. To protect this kid, not to fail her when she needed help, when she had no other options than to ask him. “Well I could help but so could 50 other people.” “Come on Wong. Hasn’t he been through enough?” Stephen did everything he could think of to protect her, even messing with pizza poppa because he harassed her about the food. He was increasingly gentle with her. She was scared, Stephen could definitely understand the feeling and Wong telling Stephen that America reminds him of a younger Stephen, kind of makes her feel like family. Something Stephen has been afraid of from the beginning with Christine, and after his sister, being vulnerable, taking care and being taken care of. The most dangerous thing Stephen can imagine; happiness.
Stephen doesn’t really change all that much to me. To me he’s the same man from the moment we met him, until perhaps when he fixes his watch with his hands. Not his magic tying a tie for a wedding that is self induced torture because he failed to be the man Christine needed. His hands, his scarred, still shaking hands, fixing a watch he chose to keep broken so he never forgot his shortcomings. Put it in a box: the threat of tempting what ifs. “What if I had opened up more? What if I had really went back to my old life? What if I missed the reality where I didn’t have to leave for five years and could’ve been with Christine?”
I love Stephen, he’s so human that he’s annoying. I am aware he has many faults, and I’m not saying anyone has to like him or agree with me. I just happen to think he’s neat. Or maybe I’m just a marvel narcissist apologist.

"Multiverse of Madness didn't have any worldbuilding AND Doctor Strange didn't have any character development, so why do you like it so much?!"
In Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Strange visited an ideal New York City of beauty and harmony with nature, and the Doctor Strange there was a Machiavellian piece of shit... (And we got to see Wanda murder, like, so many superheroes.)
And then he visited a decrepit, literally broken New York City, and the Doctor Strange there was a Machiavellian piece of shit... (And we got to see the most creative wizard battle ever put on film.)
And through his journey he realized that if he doesn't want to be a Machiavellian piece of shit who justifies not giving people a second chance by saying that callously ending their insignificant lives is a necessary sacrifice compared to the enormity of the Multiverse... You know... That thing he just said in the LAST movie he was in, where he was an antagonist against Spider-Man... He has to put his faith in the child A THIRD Machiavellian piece of shit variant of him tried to kill. (And we got to see Wanda's amazing horror movie montage of her using dark magic to hunt down the child to finally be with her children. And when SHE realizes what a piece of shit she's become, she renounces her quest.)
I can't put my finger on it... But that just feels like a complete and satisfying character arc.

In terms of dsatmom; if we’re rating visuals it’s a solid 9/10, if we’re rating the horror elements its 8/10 but if we’re rating the plot or whether the idea was implemented satisfyingly that’s a 5/10. Smnwh showed us the potential of the multiverse and I don’t think dsatmom lived up to that and I think if it had come out first, like it was originally meant to I think I would be looking at this movie differently but post smnwh I just can’t say they execution was there. 
The finale was rushed; and the mid-credit was stilted. Not to mention one of my biggest gripes, allowing zombie!strange to be the one to give America the “hero” speech. I wanted more than cameos; I wanted them to have a purpose within the plot; not for them to be on screen for five seconds just to get a reaction in theatres. Yes these sorts of cameos work in comics, but I don’t think they translate on the big screen well. That goes back once again to this being a post smnwh movie. So much potential, but I don’t think it ever got to where it wanted to be.

Watched MoM 3 days after the release, boy that was a wild ride. I loved the horror tone of the movie. This means MCU can do horror, so I am optimistic for Blade movies. My main predictions were like 50/50 true. I had so many fangasm moments like in SMNWH.
You can be assured that there is no spoiler in this concluding chapter, just some little references so I can keep the originality. I added after-words for references, what I based Wanda on and some commentaries. Get ready for expositions for both Wanda’s and the twst story! For twst, I based it on the theory I have about the story. It’s over 14k words.
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Afterword
What if MC is Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch? - Part 7

"So what now?" Pietro asked after Wanda laid down everything. 
"We don't have variants here. No Wanda or Pietro. There are no mutants or the Avengers. We can live here without causing an incursion." Wanda was desperate for Pietro to agree with her idea. She just needed one person to be on her side no matter what. She needed her twin. "They have mages, fairies, ghosts, mermaids, beastmen, monsters and gods here. They won't go after us with torch-and-pitchforks for being different and powerful - for being mutants."  
Pietro was doing stretches as he was listening to Wanda's pitch. He wanted to know what happened to her when she suddenly disappeared. He was angry at them for trying to send Wanda away. Now that he saw her again, he felt relieved. Her offer was tempting. To live in a world where people wouldn't hate you and want you gone for being slightly different. Sure, Wanda's proposal seemed the best option, but his gut feelings were telling him she wasn't telling everything. "So, what's the catch? Why not bring every mutant here? Father would finally accomplish his dream too." 
Hearing his name ticked Wanda off. "There is one more thing you should know before suggesting it again." Pietro arched his eyebrow, she sounded angry at him for his comment. "I will need to unlock all of your memories, but it will be painful. However, your fast regenerative abilities will ease the pain."  
"That doesn't sound nice. How painful will it be?" 
"Trust me, what you'll remember will be worth it." Although Pietro was reluctant, there was no one he trusted more than his twin. When he agreed, Wanda cast a spell that bound his legs and arms and something in his mouth, so he wouldn't bite his tongue.

"Don't worry. I know how to wield it. I am the one in control." Wanda reassured. He chose to believe in his sister and didn't ask about it again. "Why aren't you showing me around instead of those guys?" 
"Before I check my theory, I need to make sure something. We may live in this world carefree, but I have to make sure there won't be any disturbances." Wanda answered before heading to the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?"  
After her friends came to get Grim and Pietro to roam around the NRC, Wanda left for her first destination: Ignihyde. She was wearing casual clothes now.

She was standing in front of Idia's room. He ignored her because he was gaming in his room alone. She didn't have patience as she just wanted to get over it, so she twisted her wrist and the door opened. After entering she closed the door and made him disconnect from the game. He got angry so much that his hair turned red and yellow.  
"I know what it's like to lose your sibling. It feels like someone tears your hearts out and crushes in front of your eyes." What she said shut Idia up, his hair turning blue. He was lost in words. "Someone I care about once told me 'what is grief if not love persevering?'. At the time, those words meant the world to me." What Vis told her once upon a time also made an impact on Idia. His expression turned sad, and he was mentally denying how Ortho died. "But at the time, I didn't know a way to get rid of the grief altogether. Now I do. If there is a way, why shouldn't I do it, right?"  
"I don't understand where you are going with this but if you use Ortho against me, I'll-" Dealing with Idia was frustrating, and her words were rubbing salt into his wound 
"You've seen what I can do with your own eyes yesterday. I can restore Ortho's body and he can grow up like he was supposed to." Wanda made her offer. She knew he wouldn't refuse it. 
"Wh-what?" Idia choked on his words. It was too good to be true and he knew this would have a bigger cost but seeing his young brother grow up again would be the only thing he'd wish for. "Why are you doing this? What's the catch?" 
"I will restore Ortho's body and he'll age like any other normal kid. In return, I want your unconditional cooperation for the things I need. It's all technological stuff you can afford." Her asking for technological equipment for restoring his brother's body was nothing compared to what he'd get so he agreed. They shook hands but Wanda held his hand longer, squeezing it. "If you back on your words, I won't hesitate to take back what I gave." Idia gulped the idea of it. To him, she became even more ominous and threatening. He remembered that she was looking for the book that was written by the God of Chaos. She ought to be under S.T.Y.X.'s surveillance but he thought he'd put Ortho in danger if he commanded that.
