Everything Everywhere All At Once Proves The MCU Wastes The Multiverse
Warning: Mild spoilers for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
A24's new science-fiction adventure comedy, Everything Everywhere All at Once, is a multiverse movie that shows the MCU has been wasting the potential of infinite universes in its movies. Chinese immigrant Evelyn Wang struggles to get her life in order and keep her family together in Everything Everywhere when she is recruited to save the multiverse from the entity Jobu Tupaki. Evelyn learns to verse-jump, accessing other universes and even gaining her skills and memories from those alternate dimensions. This Evelyn isn't from a special universe where she is the groundbreaking scientist who invented verse-jumping, in fact she isn't really good at anything at all. Yet, she verse-jumps her way to the ultimate meaning of life and the multiverse.
While the basic version of the premise is similar to that of other movies, the concept of a multiverse is expanded further than before as the film explores ideas not seen before in traditional multiverse media. Not only do the characters of Everything Everywhere All at Once meet their alternate counterparts, but the film also addresses the endless possibilities and ultimate consequences of the existence of a multiverse. It all underscores how, despite the exciting premise of the multiverse, the full extent of its possibilities hasn't yet been harnessed by comic book movies and TV shows.
