For the storytelling standards you're drawing here that you're claiming this movie doesn't pass it makes me wonder which marvel films you consider great in comparison and how they hold up to the same standards..

Because these are all 'B' movies in a lot of ways when it comes to character development and storytelling.

They play it very safely, and focus much more on spectacle, references and "bad ass" moments than the layers and intricacies of its characters.

At least they finally, actually took the time and care to develop a villain here that isn't Thanos.

Most villains in MCU's stand alone features have been paper thin, fall into bland stereotypes, or are just outright caricatures that are hard to take seriously.

You're entitled to your opinion but I don't buy your reasoning as being why this didn't hit. I think it didn't have the fist pump moments you wanted and cameos/hero portrayals that would've sold you, and probably weren't a fan of the horror angle which won other viewers of different tastes over. Its funny how marvel fans will overlook a lot of deficiencies in stories because of cameos or cap hammer type moments. But then when they don't get their comic-gasm moments suddenly its about "lapses in plot" and "character motivations" and suddenly we're holding a popcorn munching action film to Academy standards.

Just be honest.

None of us actually watch marvel films for that bs, unless you're truly that invested in Wanda's character that it warranted such scrutiny in your mind.

Thanks for playing English teacher while you're at it. Gotta love people that feel the need to educate while having a friendly pop culture debate. Thats how you know they're pompous dinks in disguise.

I'll take my heels turns both ways, thanks.
