DOCTOR STRANGE In The Multiverse Of Madness: Illuminati Explained | Breakdown & Comic Differences

okay so doctor strange in the multiverse of madness introduces some major variants from across the mcu these are a superhero group known as the illuminati who have managed to turn their earth into a utopia full of free food where only papa pizza is getting dope god damn before the movie released they were easily the most anticipated part of it and for the best part of the year everyone was guessing who was going to be in the lineup this ranged from tom cruise's superior iron man to jonathan mages as iron lad and when we got a

shot of professor x's shoulder the internet went wild we then got a shot of his hand oh my god his hand captain caught a shield and though they end up getting taken out faster than you leave this video when i bring the puns out there's still a lot to talk about with them throughout this video we'll be going through the entire lineup and also discussing about how the movie changes things up from the comics i'll also be making excuses for the film and why them being killed so easily is actually properly thought out rather than

them just being a bunch of chumps so sit back relax please hit the thumbs up button and also make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day without the way thanks for clicking this now let's get into the illuminati illuminati more like suicide squad okay so the super group first appeared in the comics all the way back in new avengers issue 7 which built up to civil war the aptly titled book wrote a civil war pretty much recounts the majority of their interactions and it chronicles the group throughout the years as they work from

the shadows controlling major events they were made up of neymar the king of atlantis tony stark aka iron man reed richards aka mr fantastic black bolt leader of the inhumans dr strange the sorcerer supreme and professor x leader of the x-men black panther was also going to be a member but he ended up stepping away after believing that their agenda would cause some issues you pretty much had every aspect of earth covered in them as you had the atlanteans people represented in tony reed showing the science space side of the superhero community inhumans wizards and

also mutants this meant that they all had their foot in some part of its progress and each counted as one vote for their people forming after the cree scroll war they were brought together because tony realized that in not being united it led to a difficult conflict each aspect of the group all had their own set of knowledge on certain parts of the race but the fact that they didn't work together meant that the war raged on when they could have easily stopped it so together every time there was a big event in the comics

the group would meet and decide what to do however over the years they slowly started to disagree with each other which led to some internal conflicts arguably the most devastating point was when the united to come to a decision over what to do with the hulk he had just destroyed las vegas and thus they came up with a plan to trick bruce into traveling into space to help defeat a rogue ai after he completed the mission they revealed he was too dangerous to have on earth and they blasted him off into space they said they'd

picked out a peaceful planet for him to live on but that was a lie and it was revealed to be sakura which led into the events of planet hulk hulk became a gladiator that then overthrew the emperor and he ruled the planet unfortunately his ship exploded and it killed his wife which made him return to earth angry on a quest for vengeance this led into world war hulk which neymar actually predicted would end up happening everything came to a head just before civil war which required superhumans to register their names with the government tony correctly

predicted that due to rising tensions amongst humanity and the heroes that one day someone would make a mistake that would cause so much backlash that they'd end up getting outlawed this indeed happened and thus to avoid a war tony ended up becoming the face of the superhuman registration act however the arguments over whether this was the right thing to do or not caused so much tension amongst the group that they ended up dissolving they did reform for some major events down the line but they were never really the same after this point their arrogance led

to their downfall which is very much also married in the movie now it's theory time their time your time your time your time one of the big criticisms i've seen around the film is that retells wonder black bold's power even though he's meant to be the smartest man on earth although he does this because he assumes that he's dealing with the same wonder from his reality we know that the one in their dimension has her kids so she likely never went through the events of west view and instead probably had them by some other means

tony also doesn't seem to be alive in this reality so the age of ultron we saw didn't really happen now we do see ultron bots but these were probably created by reed and didn't have the personality issues that tony brought with them therefore because all that evil ultron stuff didn't happen vision was likely never created either thanos was also murdered by the illuminati on titan so even if vision does exist then he wouldn't have killed him in order to get the mind stone so all the events of west view wouldn't have happened because this didn't

go down wanda never became the scarlet witch and also never got the darkhold therefore her power is probably still age of ultron level and that's why reed doesn't see her as a threat in age of ultron we even saw her struggling to fight ultron bots at one point which is likely why they just leave it to them instead of going straight out when strange is getting interrogated he even says she's coming and they're like meh who gives a now they have a hubris which makes them think because they've handled thanos that they can easily handle

wonder which is why they end up waiting in a divide like billy big bollocks anyway that's the end of theory time your time theory time your time and then line up all pulls from different aspects of the marvel universe which i want to go over for the next part of the video now firstly we have mordo who replaced supreme strange as the magic side next is captain carter whose origin story we saw and what if she can do this all day or for about five minutes and no i don't believe she's the version we met

and what if we have seen our origin story play out in that show peggy ended up taking the super soldier serum instead of steve and when she tackled the giant octopus beast that was either gargantus or schuma gorath she was transported into the present now we know that coda is going to be back for season two what if and we also ended with her coming across a frozen steve rogers along with black widow either widow fury or hawkeye or in this universe so i'm guessing that the what if version is slightly different and that will

instead see heroic play out in the follow-up next i want to talk about captain marvel who in this universe is maria rambo instead of carol danvers this one is pretty simple to explain and all it does is involve a changeup and who took the project pegasus flight in captain marvel maria and carol were both called to the base on the morning of the test run but we learned that carol took a short cut so she got there first i think that in this universe she simply stuck to the main road and therefore ended up getting

their seconds so maria took it instead captain marvel also ended up flying into space with the scrolls at the end of her first solo movie whereas maria remained on earth because she had a daughter i think this will be the same reason that she's in the illuminati because rather than going into space she stayed behind to be with her kid and to protect her planet next is black bolt who appears in his comic book acura costume even with the tuning fork he makes a mind-blowing appearance and in case you haven't seen the inhumans the guy's

power lies solely in his voice just in the same way that cyclops from the x-men shoots uncontrollable blasts from his eyes when black bolt speaks it causes devastating sound ripples to tear apart anything that's in front of them show me what that mouth do baby what mouth next is professor rex who is once more played by patrick stewart ripped right out of the 90s cartoon he arrives in his yellow chair along with his green suit x seems like the usual one that we've encountered from the fox franchise and he's way more on stranger's side than

they are being a telepath lets him know instantly that this version is telling the truth and he even gives some advice before attempting to confront wonder now this may potentially be the version from the cartoon and we could also discover his backstory in the upcoming x-men 97 show i know one of the big criticisms around the movie is that x goes out like a chump but the guys died loads of times before so who knows maybe this version is still alive he of course can also use variants of him and i do hope that he's

back in a more expanded role in the future now lastly is reed stretch armstrong richards aka mr boombastic tell me fantastic dub this smartest man on earth reed lives a lovely life with his wife and his two kids sue sadly has just become a single mother but at least they'll be someone to raise them god damn now this read created the baxter foundation and with his scientific mind he's made several advances in technology that put this earth far ahead of the 616. rediscover teleportation and though we don't meet the other fantastic four members they are

likely out there now when we get to the main earth i think that reed will be a lot younger as we haven't heard of the character yet he will likely just be starting out won't have kids and this reed might be used as an example to him like the other strangers are for steven perhaps knowledge of him will finally allow the 616 read to crack some of the sciences that lead to his transformation into mr fantastic but we'll have to wait to see how it plays out in the upcoming fantastic ball movie now another big

issue i've seen people have with the film is that he's meant to be the smartest man on earth but he's a bit of a for this i just say being called the smartest man on earth and actually being the smartest man on earth are two different things for example with me i always get comments where people tell me to do stuff and a lot of the time in my arrogance i'm like look mate i've got over 900 000 subscribers i don't need to listen to you i know what i'm doing i'm i'm the smartest youtuber

on earth you see all the time when people get called stupid that have done something successful and they're like how can i be stupid i'm ronald mcdonald with over 1 million restaurants i think it's the same with reid which is why he completely ignored strange's warning that the witch was coming because he thinks he's the smartest man on earth that's kind of how i see it and the last bit of the video where i keep making excuses for this move two seconds hey karen that's that's my wife karen spoilers karen has the check from kevin

feige cleared yet yeah cool right as i was saying the last big criticism i want to address about the movie is how they were all taken out within about three minutes and how it's just a waste of introducing these characters to kill them straight away that i'd say i think this was all done purely to show how powerful wonder is no matter how good the team is she's fighting she can kick the crap out of them if needs be so it just elevated the threat i am 100 sure that these characters or versions of them

will be back so seeing them die like this adds to the danger of their return we now know they're not invincible so the stakes will be higher for their solo movies the fantastic four is of course in production so yeah reed will be back we already have a version of captain marvel the inhumans exists if if you want to watch that which good luck and though we don't have an x-men movie announced you can bet that's coming too there's also what it for captain carter so it's not like we'll never see these characters again like

i said i think this was done purely to build tension and if you've been following our bits on the film then you'll know we describe wonder as being like the terminator i think the scene is pretty much just the same as the one in the police station during the first movie where you think it's safe oni shows up kills everyone and shows sarah that not even the authorities can protect her really nice way of building the threat up in my opinion but let me know below if you disagree now we are in competition right now
