[Music] what's up my comic comrad's doctor strange and the multiverse of madness is out and in the world and if you're here i assume you've seen it and know what went down but in case you haven't i'll let you know right up front that today's episode is going to be riddled with spoilers for doctor strange and the multiverse of madness so if you haven't seen the movie yet and you don't want to ruin for you this is your time to jump ship i also came prepared for today's episode with this dope eye of agamotto made
with lego bricks which is built by the awesomely creative people at bricker builds and i definitely did not by any means steal this off tim's desk at all now you're asking who is bricker builds and how do they make magic out of lego bricks well they're a group of designers and artists who are huge fans of lego and have teamed up to show others how to create and build amazing pieces like this eye of agamotto on top of this one they offer incredible build designs for comic and pop culture weapons helmets character bus even a
life-size version of cap shield made entirely out of lego it's nuts again bricker builds isn't affiliated with the lego group or franchise creators their fellow fans bringing their dope talents to the community they have so many unique designs to choose from and each build comes with all the bricks you need and an intuitive instruction manual to build a rock solid collectible piece in about one to two hours and i don't know about you but building these pieces is pretty relaxing and satisfying i'm not sure why but it is anyway as you see the eye of
agamotto comes with its free light kit to light up the time stone and like i said the build is sturdy enough to wear or even display on its stand which may or may not still be on tim's desk but to get one for yourself and check out the rest of bricker builds dope designs go to brickerbuilds.com and make sure to tell them that we sent you and you saw nothing snitches get stitches now let's dissect what went down between reed richards and scarlet witch in the multiverse of madness and see if it matches evidence from
the comics the film introduced a ton of new characters into the marvel cinematic universe or more specifically several alternate universe versions of those characters all of which were members of the mcu's version of the illuminati anyway we saw that the illuminati consisted of black bolt professor x captain marvel mordo captain carter and mr fantastic and i gotta say that both the black bull and mr fantastic reveals were insane and took me by surprise we already had been given glimpses of professor x captain marvel and captain carter in tv spots and trailers but not the other
two which was a big surprise but in true marvel fashion they didn't just reveal mr fantastic they also gave the fans what they've been asking for with john krasinski taking up the role of reed richards slash mr fantastic the entire internet has been petitioning for that to happen for the last several years so good on you marvel studios for making that happen this also means that john krasinski's wife emily blunt has possibly been cast as sue storm aka the invisible woman and will show up in the fantastic four's mcu solo film and i cannot tell
you how happy that will make me if that happens but getting back to the question of today in the multiverse of madness the scarlet witch loses her ever-loving mind due to her use of the darkhold and ends up traveling to the illuminati's reality in search of america chavez there she goes toe-to-toe with the illuminati and literally takes them apart and by that i mean she brutally kills every member of the illuminati one by one and without much effort might i add she first uses her reality warping powers to take away black bolt's mouth after reed
says blackball can destroy you with one whisper from his mouth she asks what mouse as she just took it away black bolton tries to talk freaked out that he no longer has a mouth because that would freak anyone out but with his voice not able to escape his body it causes his head to implode which was completely and utterly nuts my mouth literally dropped it was gnarly right after black bolt's death reed then goes to attack wanda by stretching out his hand towards her but wanda just puts out her hand using her powers to unravel
reed like a ball of yarn before popping his head like a grape she goes on to defeat the rest of the illuminati by cutting captain carter in half with her own shield dropping a huge statue on captain marvel and snapping professor x's neck and while all of those kills are crazy in their own way we're here to talk about how she defeated mr fantastic as many comic and marvel fans think he got punked and shouldn't have been defeated that easily by the scarlet witch so let's look at the source material and let the comics tell
us whether or not the movie did him dirty mr fantastic has a number of incredible powers but his real advantage over the scarlet witch is his intelligence sure his stretching powers could come in quite handy but what's really going to help him out against the scarlet witch is his mind not necessarily his physical powers according to the ultimate fantastic four volume one issue 20 reed richards of earth 1610 had a 267 iq when he was 16. to put that in perspective anything over a 160 is considered a genius and reid is 107 points above that
at the age of 16. reed has been said to be the smartest human man in all of marvel even outranking the likes of victor von doom tony stark and bruce banner he was also known as just the smartest human in all of the marvel universe up until recently when marvel declared moon girl as the smartest human in all of marvel anyway in the invincible iron man vol 2 issue 4 from 2008 on the first page we actually see tony stark admit that reed richards is smarter than him tony thinks to himself reed richards sometimes i
think he's the only person alive smarter than me other times i think it's because he could stretch his brain and make it physically bigger as it suits him cheater then you have the time reed laid out just how smart he was to sue storm saying susan when i was 15 i split my first atom and by the time i was 25 i had spliced a gene and created new life i have been to the stars in a rocket built by my hands and i have seen the death and birth of sons with my very own
eyes all of this my own doing i am the foremost authority in countless areas of science and technology and when the smartest people on the planet need help it's me they call i will not apologize for knowing the things i do so reed himself just laid out some of his accomplishments which include him splitting an atom when he was 15 creating new life by the time he was 25 building a rocket that took him to the stars and flat out saying that whenever the smartest minds need help he's the one they go to and to
push that even further on the bio on an impel marvel comics trading card from 1992 says reed richards is the premier scientist of the marvel earth he's the scientist other scientists consult just to be sure it goes on to say that he gained as well from his patents and he is best known in the superhero community for his discovery of the negative zone he would also be the first human to single-handedly prevent galactus from destroying the earth that's right in 1966 fantastic four volume 1 issue 50 reed richards became the first human to defeat galactus
by threatening to use the ultimate nullifier against him so not only is reid richards so smart that he's the scientists other scientists go to to check their work but he also used his smarts to get the ultimate nullifier and stop galactus from devouring earth and that's just a taste of reed smarts the point is he is incredibly intelligent like numero uno smartest man ever so should he have been defeated so easily by the scarlet witch in the multiverse of madness well if you didn't know the scarlet witch is one of marvel's heavy hitters she literally
got rid of 95 of all mutants at one point in the house of m storyline she has the power to warp reality which theoretically means she can do anything she also has the power of probability manipulation which means she could change the outcome of certain things making things that normally wouldn't be possible possible all that to say should marvel's smartest man have been defeated so easily by one of marvel's strongest characters the answer simply is sure why not and there's a few reasons for that first and foremost being story the whole point of them showing
wanda annihilate the illuminati systematically was to demonstrate just how powerful she was as they've been continuously building on that with every appearance of her in the mcu all the way from her first appearance in age of ultron to most recently in one division and now the payoff in multiverse of madness even though i know reed richards would probably have had some sort of plan in place already being as smart as he is and knowing that wanda was out there but alas some things just outweigh others and her wrecking shop clearly took priority i mean come
on it was a freaking awesome scene but another way you could spin it as to why mr fantastic was beaten so easily is because this is not the 616 version of mr fantastic this is an alternate version of him so you could argue just like there being evil versions of reed richards in the multiverse such as the maker you could say this was not as smart a version of reed richards hence why he didn't have a preemptive plan in place to not get taken out so quickly by wanda as far as my nerdy brain goes
that's how i'm looking at it now given in the movie they said he was the smartest man alive but alas the main 616 version could still be even smarter i'm just working with what we got people and honestly it didn't even really bother me that he was killed so quickly because the scene was dope and it worked giving us that shock factor which i'm sure is a reason they did what they did for us to say oh my god you just introduced him and two minutes later you killed him but it's an alternate version of
mr fantastic it's not our main version so you could do all that stuff with alternate versions that's the beauty of it in any case just to answer the simple question of would the comic book proper mr fantastic stand a better chance against the scarlet witch the answer would be yes clearly it all depends on the writer and what they're wanting to do but you could easily argue that mr fantastic could come up with some sort of device to restrain or defeat the scarlet witch i mean case in point he defeated galactus now galactus doesn't have
reality warping powers but he's still the devourer of worlds so it's safe to say that reed richards would likely put up a better fight than what was shown in the movie and at times maybe even find a way to restrain the scarlet witch but overall we have to say based on the comics scarlet witch would wreck mr fantastic and defeat him one way or another just given the immense power and abilities she has in summary i think all of us would have liked to see mr fantastic give wanda more of a fight but it did
make for a shocking and awesome moment in the movie all i know is i can't wait to see john krasinski return as the 616 mr fantastic and fingers crossed that it's with emily blunt by his side as the invisible woman but now it's your turn you guys think that scene with mr fantastic getting beat so easily by the scarlet witch was fair or are you mad that she was able to kill him so quickly let us know in the comments and that's going to bring today's episode to a close but if you enjoyed this video
