  I had never thought about that bit of irony before: That expanding into a multiverse can actually make the story feel smaller, because less of it matters.

  Few things can match the kindered spirit energy of Red saying, "40 slide slide-show" and Blue replying "Yes. YES!!!"

  &quot;Once you introduce a multiverse, there&apos;s no way to put it back.&quot;<br><br>The &quot;It was all a dream&quot; cliche: Allow me to introduce myself.

  I think this is actually one of the reasons people (me) enjoy fanfiction so much. It&apos;s a bunch of mini multiverses that have little to no effect on each other, so you can have the same story told in slightly different ways by different authors, and have your favorites for each one.

  Multiverse is basically just what heros save once the Country, Planet, Galaxy and universe have already been thoroughly rescued.

  Also, one of the most heartwarming parts of No Way Home was Molina&apos;s Octavius remarking, &quot;You&apos;re all grown up&quot; to Tobey&apos;s Peter. Like. I actually got choked up because Ock&apos;s fate in 2 was genuinely tragic, especially as he could have been the kind of role model Peter so desperately needed after Uncle Ben&apos;s death.

  In the context of &quot;writing yourself into a corner&quot;, multiverse introduction can tear down the walls that previously held you, but if you don&apos;t act carefully those missing walls may cause your roof to cave in

  On Wandavision and the Multiverse of Madness: I feel really bad for everyone who went to see Multiverse of Madness and expected Wanda&apos;s character to make sense...but the thing is, when my Dad and I finished watching the finale of Wandavision, the FIRST THING WE DID was turn to each other and say &quot;they&apos;re setting up for Wanda to be a villain in the next movie/show, while still being sympathetic in this one.&quot; And so when we went to see Multiverse of Madness, it just confirmed our worst fears. <br>I really think that&apos;s the only way one can possibly make sense of the heel-turn in writing that happens in the Wandavision finale. Up until that point, everything is slow, subtle, artistically rendered, narrative which is clearly setting up for an actual Wanda redemption arc where she faces the terrible crimes she committed out of grief and makes restitution for it...and then suddenly Agatha Harkness shows up, and everyone&apos;s like &quot;Quick Wanda! You have to beat up Agatha Harkness, who is clearly the One True Villain here that&apos;s responsible for everything bad, and then fly off into the sunset without thinking too hard about all the crimes you just committed!&quot; It gave me and my Dad the very distinct vibe of &quot;the writers had a particular story they wanted to tell, but then the studio had certain requirements for the ending that didn&apos;t fit.&quot;

  I think what really made a difference for Everything Everywhere All At Once was that they weren’t introducing the multiverse to an established canon. They set out to make a multiverse story from the start, that would begin and end with one film. So the multiverse serves an allegorical purpose to the story, rather than a meta one.<br><br>Every different version of a character feels like a different facet of their personality. They all teach Evelyn something new about herself or the people around her. So no matter how crazy and different some of the universes can be, there’s still some level of consistency between them you can latch onto. Evelyn and Joy’s first talk in the parking lot, versus their last, is what made me realize this.

  As a huge fan of the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic series from DC, I 1000% approve of this diatribe.

  Blue saying &quot;Who&apos;s the Boob window?&quot; just sounds like some new hero asking a veteran one about Power Girl, and I find it hilarious.

  I love that blue Brings up the city vs world conflict. It&apos;s litteraly just the quote of &quot;10 deaths is a tragedy, 10000 deaths is a statistic.&quot;
