I'm checking out of MCU now I have to watch stupid TV shows to understand what's going on. And the whole witchcraft stuff is such bad physics, even when powered by adrenochrome.
Yeah, the films have now reached the same sorry state as mainstream superhero comics where nothing is a standalone series and you have to consume 6 different related products to understand what is going on. However, I thought WandaVision was pretty good and inventive for most of the episodes. I know what you mean about witchcraft - the worst thing for a superhero is to have vague, ill-defined powers. Even worse when nobody's power level is clearly defined so that every fight devolves into two characters shooting clashing beams until the scriptwriter decides which one is arbitrarily the winner... WandaVision devolved into that in the end when the ending should have been decided by psychological conflict, not beams. Similarly, in Doctor Strange 2, there is a weird scene where Captain Picard, I mean Professor X, uses his psionic powers to go into a magically possessed person's mind... It just seems wrong to mix up the parapsychology type mutant powers with black magic, it's like all the plasticine colours rolled together into a colourless mush.
