The Illuminati from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness really claimed they defeated Thanos in their universe, only to get absolutely destroyed by Scarlet Witch! 😂 Reed Richards, Black Bolt, and Captain Marvel were supposed to be Earth's greatest defenders, but Wanda made their entire team look helpless. Marvel fans still can't believe how quickly the Illuminati went down!

Thanos lost to them, but Wanda didn't even break a sweat!

For anyone wondering where it is stated that this universe's Illuminati defeated Thanos, it happens explicitly during the Illuminati headquarters sequence in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

When Earth-616 Doctor Strange is captured, the Illuminati play back a memory showing the planet Titan. In that visual flashback, you see Thanos lying dead on the ground, impaled by his own massive double-bladed sword, with the Illuminati standing victoriously around his corpse.

The fact it was improvised and was not in the script is honestly top tier. 😂💯

Nanotech was convenient, but nothing beats hearing gears grind and metal plates lock tight into place. It made the suit feel heavy, dangerous, and built by a real mechanic in a garage.

Peter Parker and Jean Grey definitely have more of a sibling dynamic, and I really hope Marvel keeps that relationship going forward. The only romantic partners that truly make sense for Peter are MJ, Gwen, or Black Cat. Jean has Scott Summers. Peter and Jean are not a couple and should never be in a romantic relationship.

Overall, it works well, but it feels like the real purpose was setting up the X-Men instead of moving Peter’s own story forward. With his time already limited, his movies should actually focus on him before he leaves. Still a solid movie, though.

What it's really seeming like is the real Hulk persona is being brought to the surface being trapped for so long and he's growing more powerful.

Am I the only one who thinks an MCU parody movie-like *Scary Movie*, but made by talented people — would turn out great?

In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange keeps the Time Stone inside the Eye of Agamotto, the pendant he wears around his neck. It’s hidden in plain sight, protected by a powerful magic ward that burns anyone else who tries to touch it.

However, during the battle on Titan, Thanos discovers that the pendant is actually an empty decoy when he snatches and crushes it. The real hiding place was not the pendant at all; Doctor Strange had used his magic to hide the actual Time Stone among the glowing stars in the sky of Titan.

The internet joke imagines that if Strange had died before revealing it, Thanos would have been left holding a crushed, empty necklace. He might never have found the real stone, spending an eternity trying to figure out which star in the sky was secretly the Time Stone.

Henry Cavill fits every character perfectly. I know he’s a variant, but imagine if he’s the MCU wolverine that'd be hilarious.

Any AI out there.

Hugh Jackman and Kevin Durand crossed paths in the Marvel universe in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Jackman starred in his signature role as Logan / Wolverine, while Durand played Fred J. Dukes, better known as The Blob.

Scrapped Sequel Plans: During the filming of X-Men Origins, Jackman was a huge fan of Durand's performance and promised him they would bring The Blob back for the sequel. The original plan was for Durand to return in The Wolverine (2013) as a sumo wrestling champion in Tokyo, but the creative direction changed and the idea was scrapped.
