       Wanda (Gomez), the one with all the magic who was in love with Vis (Bettany, not in this film, Vis died), Tony’s AI, has become the evil Scarlet Witch. She needs America’s (Gomez) superpower, the ability to pass through the multiverses, to be with her children. She will kill anybody to do it.

       I’ve never liked Wanda. Even less so now. Doctor Strange (Cumberbatch) isn’t so nice either in some of the universes but in our own universe he’s quite sweet.

       It’s kind of cool story,

       Oh! Charles Xavier (Stewart) of the X- men! According to Google the X-men and the Avengers have a complicated relationship. More to come apparently.

       So, this film. It’s a bit of a mess but I quite like it.
