So…Who Really Unleashed Marvels Multiverse?
With fans finally getting the first teaser trailer of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel’s Phase 4 is in full swing; with the events of the trailer seemingly showing Doctor Strange unearth the multiverse through a botched spell we ask the question, who really unleashed Marvels Multiverse?
The season one finale of Loki gave Marvel fans a direct view into the shattering of the multiverse as the MCU knew it; fracturing all of the branching timelines, and engulfing the sacred timeline in favor of anarchic timestreams infinitely multiplying.
This was the first time that fans of the MCU were table to explore the vastness of the varying timelines; and just as quick as we knew it in its controlled state, the actions of Sylvie against He Who Remains drove the entire thing into chaos.
Is this, however, the reason for the shattering of the multiverse? Is Sylvie to blame for the annihilation of the timestream as the Marvel Universe understands it?
Many fans will have already recognized that this episode, when played in unison with the season finale of Wandavision, allows He Who Remains to appear befuddled at the future he was so previously certain at the same point in time as the Scarlett Witch is born.
When the immensely powerful Wanda Maximoff steps into the limitlessness of her powers, she embraces a hold on reality that she has never known; with her powers being rooted in the infinity stones, and the ability to alter reality.
What role did the creation of the Scarlett Witch have in the fracturing of the Multiverse? Did her endless search for her unborn children, and deep desire to create a multiverse in which they actually existed, cause the destruction of it regardless of Sylvie’s choices?
All of this, however, isn’t how Spider-Man: No Way Home attempts to explain these multiversal phenomena.
In the first teaser for the MCU’s third installment of Peter Parker’s story, we see Doctor Strange attempt to alter the very fabric of reality by emplying a spell that would erase everyone’s knowledge of Spider-Man’s secret identity.
Was it then the sorcerer supreme whose unchecked magic worked to shatter the sanctity of the sacred timeline and unleash the unpredictability of the multiverse?
With all of these different answers, comes no clear one; but the question still remains, who really unleased Marvel’s Multiverse?
The answer: all of it.
There is a universe in which Sylvie’s actions against the TVA, combined with Doctor Stranges attempted alteration of the very fabric of reality, and the reality-altering energy conducted by Wanda’s transformation into the Scarlett Witch that worked to unleash the multiverse.
We already know that Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will follow Loki, Wanda, and Strange in their attempt to set right the sacred timeline and destroy the multiverse.
This teamwork could stem from the fact that all three had a hand in the unleashing of the multiverse, and setting the MCU on a course towards their next great foe.
What do you think? Who do you think was the cause of Marvel unleashing the multiverse? Let us know below?
