Well to be fair, he personally saved New York from a nuke launched at it by SHIELD, which would give him a certain amount of leverage.
And then there's all those Billions of dollars in his many bank accounts...
"Am I Mephisto?"
Shaky beginning, brilliant middle, godawful ending. Just atrocious. Average at best, ultimately. I'm being kind to give it that rating.
What was the entire point of our trio's subplot? They were utterly meaningless in the end. Wanda didn't need or use them to deal with Captain Dickface and his ersatz Vision (who is now the real Vision, apparently, minus the Mind Stone, but flew off without talking to Wanda, because that's exactly what Vision would do, LOL). But white cop isn't evil enough, so let's distract the viewer from this indefensibly bad writing by having him nonsensically shoot at the imaginary kids Wanda is going to kill, anyway--- but not really kill, post-credits Dr. Wanda!
Oh, our FBI agent called the FBI??! Glad nobody else thought of that.
Darcy drove a car into a car. So brave. Much hero. She's like Steve McQueen in Papillon. "I'm still here, dammit!" What on earth would Wanda and her superpowered children do to stop a suicide car-crasher without her.
Retrospectively, we can now see that every moment we spent with them was a waste of time that didn't illuminate the story. They served zero purpose except to inexplicably superpower Rambeau. Disney just used a show to sell another show. Who cares about shitty, pointless writing. We have feminist lunchboxes to sell. Cha-ching.
Agatha...am I supposed to despise her? She was trying to stop someone who is prophesied to destroy the world. I guess I'm supposed to hate her because she hordes power. Yeah, a capable, educated woman hording power is clearly worse than a schizophrenic, self-absorbed former terrorist who holds up two fingers after falsely imprisoning and mentally torturing an entire town for weeks, "Sorry, peace," and strolls off. That's justice.
But, hey, we captured the evil white guy who dishonored the last will and testament of a fucking robot **gasp!** to develop a tool for mere mortals to confront the threat of loose cannon mutants who fly off the rails with appalling criminal behavior like this. What a scumbag. To quote David Spade, "I liked this character better the first time I saw him....when he was called Ironman." But I guess we're expected to hate Ironman now. His compounding crime was that he wasn't more concerned with the emotional well-being of the criminal than the thousands of her victims. Unforgivable. Don't worry. Our strong, female heroine SWORD agent got that right.
So disappointing. What a shitshow.
