just finished watching multiverse of madness. huge improvement over the first movie overall, noticeably more imaginative, could easily have been 10x or 100x more so. i wish the people who made this movie had done way more drugs

rachel mcadams is so beautiful it hurts to look at her a little my god. really glad they gave her something to do after she did almost nothing in the first movie iirc

really interesting that this movie came out at the same time as EEAAO. wondering what this apparent surge of interest in the multiverse as a theme portends 🧐

Strange came about in the sixties when america collectively discovered acid and buddhism
maybe the multiverse thing represents a similar movement

but is it because we've already given up on our own reality being satisfying? that's the part i want to understand

2- current culture is getting obsessed w multiverses because as it becomes clear that our branch has failed & will need to be closed out, communication portals are opening to send failure data back to Timeline HQ; this leaves a psychic imprint that our artists/practitioners sense

Poorly phrased, but here's what I think. Narrative inflation is a force that will have our stories break out of their frame, something I think is very good because it's consciousness-expanding

Yes, it's like the audience has seen it all, so the storytellers have to make things so grand they have to break out of the single narrative universe into some variation of the multiverse. It's just a matter of time before the stories get self-conscious about being stories

*increasingly break out—of course it's a gradual thing and there are a lot of recent and historical examples of this, like for instance Synecdoche, New York
