Two more things that just came to mind, and I'm certain they're Raimi-isms:

- There's a moment right after Wanda first possesses her alternate universe self where she looks directly into the camera and it is chilling. She is so good in this

- The fact that during the movie's climax Dr. Strange has possessed his own decaying corpse and then uses the souls of the damned as props for fighting is actually pretty badass

That scene with Wanda going to possess herself in the house, its straight Raimi.

And damn he is so fucking good.

The fight with the musical notes was really cool.

Why not, I guess. Certainly not anything I’ve ever seen before.

Yeah, the notes ring out as they're used to attack. That was cool

Yes, but what does that even mean anymore?

I don’t think she is.
I remember there being a red flash as one of the big stones fell, which I took to be her getting crushed and magic being released. I guess it could have just as easily been her teleporting out of there.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I took it as closer to the latter. I honestly don’t think her arc is finished. This was the end of her second act. Redemption will be the third act.

Fuck, isn't there a universe where she died, and they're orphans? This whole movie because Scarlet Witch was too lazy to check more universes.

This was good but the trailer oversold it.

I'd hoped they would de-age Charles so we'd have X1 Prof. X.

America Chavez' was there. Never got invested in her. Kid actors I guess.

I was hoping to see multiple earths but we only got the one sequence when Chavez and Strange where rolling through different forms. Then they got to 838 and basically that's where the movie stays.

The Illuminati reveal was great. The slaughter that followed really took the air out of those sails.

Capt. Carter....*swoons* More please.

Then they go through a lot to get the Book of Vishanti....and never use it. Wtf.

I was really happy to see they found something for Christine here and what a great surprise that she works at the Baxter Foundation.

Olsen was a good villain , creepy at times. Very well done.
I'm thinking 616 Wanda is still alive.

As for the post credits, this helped


And yes, Theron's outfit looked like cosplay.
