Review Detail

I had fun with this, the What If sequences really added a lot to the emotional arc in the movie proper, and I found it even kinda fit with Raimi's kookier sensibilities (compared to Marvel typically) for there to be animated sections at all. The new color grades were fun - maybe not better for me in some areas, but it really worked for me in the darker universe. Little things like the cutaways did wonders for narrative clarity, particularly early on.

My biggest gripe is just the jarring transition away from the orchard (and honestly quite a bit of Wanda's brutal, villainous antics throughout). The revelation moment doesn't get to sit like it does in the theatrical and how Stephen and Wanda move on from it can't even be implied. Maybe it could have been interesting to see the orchard turn, and then cut to Wong on the pause before they start talking again.

Really cool edit regardless! Excited to check out some of tremault's other edits now
