Fans Discover That Lilia Calderu Is Behind the Events of ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’

by

As a seasoned fan who has followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe for what feels like a lifetime, I must say that the latest revelation about Lilia Calderu and Billy Kaplan has left me utterly intrigued and somewhat baffled. The twist in ‘Agatha All Along’ has shed light on a significant plot hole in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’, but it seems to have opened up another one, leaving us with more questions than answers.

In episode 6 of “Agatha All Along”, the enigma behind Billy’s emblem was lastly revealed, casting a new light on why people found it difficult to perceive his genuine character.

At Billy Kaplan’s Bar Mitzvah, it was found that Lilia Calderu conducted a palm reading which revealed some troubling signs about his future.

It was observed that his life’s path had divided into two, and for some unexplained purpose, Lilia decided to create a mystical symbol over him, concealing his real identity from being discovered by others.

The division in his life’s timeline strongly implied that Billy Kaplan would perish, yet it seemed his existence would persist – likely reborn as Billy Maximoff, more famously known as Wanda’s child.

As soon as Lilia Calderu made a sigil and placed it in her coat pocket, she appeared to ignore him, leading the teenager to forget his genuine self. Yet, unbeknownst to her, this individual would later regain his identity when he was reborn as Billy Maximoff.

In this rephrased version, the sentence reads: This charm not only masked his identity but also wiped out his entire being, significantly addressing a major inconsistency in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: the reason Wanda undertook such extensive efforts to locate her children across various universes, when her sons were still alive on Earth-616.

It’s likely that Lilia’s emblem concealed his location and identity effectively, making it impossible to find or identify him. What’s puzzling is how this emblem could resist the magic of the Darkhold, but it did so. This led Wanda to speculate that her children might be residing in another dimension.

In other words, Lilia’s unintentional actions triggered a series of events seen in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. If the sigil wasn’t present, the Scarlet Witch could possibly have sensed her two sons in her original universe.

On the other hand, this addition creates yet another inconsistency within the storyline, deepening the complexity since it implies that the sigil holds no significance in determining Wanda’s perception of her children in Earth-616.

From what we’ve gathered so far, it appears that the sigil was exclusively applied to Billy, and not to Tommy. At present, our knowledge of Tommy is quite limited; beyond Billy’s assertions that he can feel Tommy’s presence but cannot locate him precisely.

It’s reasonable to think Wanda might not have found Billy, but the fact she couldn’t track down Tommy, given that Billy – a newbie in magic – managed it, seems puzzling.

In this scenario, it seems like it’s working well with the storyline of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Agatha All Along”, but there’s no denying that it creates a rather large gap in the plot logic.

Additionally, Agatha’s statement to Billy at the end of the episode – “Every witch with a heartbeat can hear you, you know” – implies that without the sigil, Billy’s presence has become noticeable. This inference suggests that Tommy’s existence should have been just as discernible from the beginning, given he too lacked the sigil to conceal himself.

The situation remains intricate with three episodes yet to unfold, revealing additional details. However, let me share what we’ve gathered thus far: If Lilia Calderu hadn’t drawn that sigil on Billy, it’s possible that the events depicted in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might never have transpired.
