lynnenneHello, and welcome to your weekly Sunday discussion post! This week's topic is about magic in the MCU.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a number of magic users: Loki, Frigga, Doctor Strange, Wanda Maximoff, the Ancient One, Wong, etc. But their powers seem inconsistent from one moment to the next. We've seen Wanda move cars with her mind. Why couldn't she use the same power to rip Thanos' head off? We've seen Strange open a portal beneath Loki's feet; why couldn't he have done the same to Thanos and sent him to the outer edge of the universe? Or into the vacuum of space?
How powerful is magic in the MCU? What exactly can it do? What can't it do? Do the inconsistencies bother you, or do you just hand-wave them away?
