Whatever makes you sleep TheOgreS

And @Xandermcc Probably because half of the Marvel audience is a bunch of dudes. And it's not like America won't get her own movie in the future, Strange can be a mentor or something.

You may however be overestimating how many of those dudes are insecure dudes.

So men wanting good content makes them insecure?

Flashy fights aren’t always required for high quality story telling. Wanda is a character who’s crippled by all of the losses she’s suffered. The darkhold corrupted her to the point that she was willing to go to great lengths to achieve some semblance of happiness in the form of Billy and Tommy.

When Chavez showed Wanda the realization that she was becoming something that her children would never accept or love, her storyline reached its conclusion (as far as we know that is). When someone you consider a friend or at least an ally is clearly suffering or going down the wrong path, your first inclination shouldn’t be to pound them into a bloody pulp. You should at least try to reason with them and help them see their wrongdoings which is exactly what Chavez and Doctor Strange did for Wanda.

^^nope, but decrying anything that doesn’t constantly reinforce male superiority as bad/pandering sure does.

^We can agree to disagree.

1. This isn't good story suggestion. You are asking for a man who has changed the status quo for defenders of magic and his own multiversal constants by being a doctor who protects and heals to instead pummel a grieving woman into not learning from her mistakes. So ironically having Strange fight this battle would be detrimental to the story, not better. Should have learned this by the time Dormammu was delivered that bargain.

2. These shows and spin-offs are mainly set up by their plot points in film projects like these. America needs to actually do something which she does here and completes her, Wanda's, and Strange's arc all at once. Which is quite beneficial.

3. Plenty more people of many different backgrounds have joined the MCU and comics overall over time. Denying it does not mean it hasn't happened. Representation does matter even if that wasn't the case.

^I disagree with your points but we can agree to disagree

I enjoyed what the final battle was

I thought it was interesting that Doctor Strange used Defender Strange to battle Wanda

And the battle with America Chavez as was interesting

To be honest I didn't expect Wanda to be the villain so I didn't now what to expect for the final battle

But I thought it was good

Personally, I agree with everyone saying that having Wanda realize her own mistakes was a better resolution than a final battle between Strange and the Scarlet Witch. After all, something similar happened in the first Doctor Strange movie by having Strange simply annoy the hell out of Dormammu rather than battle it out.

However, I personally have a separate problem with the resolution of the movie. I personally felt that many aspects of the resolution happened too unconvincingly quickly. For example, I simply find it hard to believe that America is able to consciously and accurately control her powers just because Strange gave her a pep talk saying that she always unconsciously controlled her powers and encouraged her to "kick that witch's ass." It's also hard for me to believe that Wanda realized what she did and broke free of the Darkhold's control after watching her alternate sons reject her. Yes, she did take a couple of seconds to weep and be assured that her alternate sons would be loved by Earth-838 Wanda, but immediately after that she's like, "Okay, Imma need to destroy the Darkhold." Don't get me wrong, her alternate sons rejecting her is a good starting point, but a couple more scene of her reflecting on what she did or something similar probably would have made her redemption more believable.
