🚨 Warning: There are MASSIVE — and I mean MASSIVE — spoilers ahead for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! 🚨
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness finally came to the big screen last week, and like most hardcore Marvel nerds, I haven't stopped obsessively thinking about how WILD the plot was from start to finish.
While there’s so many Easter egg details and mind-blowing events to discuss as we wait for the next MCU movie installment, one of the biggest (and most controversial) moments certainly was the appearance of the Illuminati. These were the protectors of the multiverse who Dr. Strange and America Chavez found themselves in the presence of halfway through the movie.
The mysterious counsel was already stacked, with the likes of Professor X (who was revealed in the movie’s trailer) and Mordo (who was speculated by fans to make an appearance in this film), but the biggest names were saved for the movie’s premiere! The rest of the Illuminati was rounded out by Reed Richards (played by John Krasinski, making his debut in the MCU), Peggy Carter as Captain Carter, Maria Rambeau as Captain Marvel, and Black Bolt.
The Illuminati certainly seemed like they had a handle on Wanda as she delved deeper into her scary Scarlet Witch villain era, so it was extra comical to see our favorite resident baddie witch tear through each of them like wet toilet paper.
From exploding heads to shredding people into spaghetti, Wanda didn't hold back at all when it came to destroying the Illuminati once and for all. And audiences obviously couldn't handle the carnage, so here are 35 of the best reactions to the massacre:
