2022-05-22 13:23:37 ​​CRITICS: 'FORCES OF AMERICA CHAVES CREATE A HOLE IN THE PLOT'

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness lacks certain information about the abilities of the heroine America Chavez, which, according to critics and viewers, creates a plot hole in her own story. Although Doctor Strange, along with Scarlet Witch, are the main characters of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,
America Chavez turns out to be the center of the film. Scarlet Witch is in search of her ability to navigate the multiverse to reunite with her sons Tommy and Billy, while Doctor Strange must protect America and the entire MCU multiverse.

The movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness establishes that,
although America's heroine Chavez's powers regularly save her life, she has no special control over them. Scarlet Witch, who has no experience in traveling the multiverse, believes that she can use them to visit the worlds she needs, and the restrictions of America do not seem to be a serious obstacle to her. Possibly the ability to choose
when to open the portal and to which universe it connects is not a matter of technique, since America Chavez is able to create a portal by instantly believing her own potential. Only in the finale of "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is shown America studying the mystical arts in Kamar Taj,
where she tries to summon a simple magical portal. Открыть/Комментировать
