Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Villain Puts Thanos’ Reality Stone Usage to Shame

One of the most intriguing aspects of Everything Everywhere All at Once is how it felt like a comic book movie. Michelle Yeoh’s Evelyn Wang got thrown through the multiverse, absorbing different personas in order to level up to become a Chosen One. She basically adopted the dreamwalking ability seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness while prepping for a Thanos-like entity in her daughter, Jobu Tupaki. In fact, as Jobu confronted Evelyn, the villain cut loose in a terrifying manner with her godlike power and put the Mad Titan’s use of the Reality Stone to shame.

Now, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have debated if Thanos used this relic properly in Avengers: Infinity War. He turned Drax into blocks, Mantis to ribbons and made Star-Lord’s gun shoot bubbles in one fight to flex his abilities. In addition, he warped the Collector’s lair to trap Gamora, producing a memorable sequence of him coming off like a deity, playing with the heroes. Still, all that felt childish, leaving a foundation for him to get stopped in Avengers: Endgame.

Jobu, on the other hand, kicked it up a notch as she embraced she was no longer the human aspect of Evelyn’s daughter, Joy. When her dark side took over, she gave in to the monster that tore across all realities to exact revenge on various versions of her controlling mother. She had a lot more fun, though, while rendering the opposition useless, ensuring they couldn’t hamper her down the line.

In her first fight, she made a policeman’s gun shoot confetti and made him vomit confetti to ensure he felt the pain she did. Jobu then turned another policeman into a fruit-wearing dancer before murdering him. She even transformed some weapons into sex toys, proving she had a sick sense of humor. Jobu also changed into funny outfits as she went along, but that didn’t make the fight any less terrifying as her mission unfolded in a bloody fashion.

Her antics sent a message of intent to Evelyn that the teen wasn’t playing around, throwing back to how she slaughtered temporal agents across space and time. It was all part of her fractured psyche after killing Prime Evelyn for forcing her to use these talents years ago. Granted, Jobu’s powers weren’t quite the same as those of the Reality Stone, but she did become better at bending reality the more she killed her family on various Earths.

Jobu’s massacre illustrated how Thanos could’ve used the Stone in even more exciting ways. He wasn’t as creative as she was, which would have made him a more demented puppet master. However, his objective was more twisted, while Jobu’s was more personal than about galactic salvation. And that may be why she had bizarre fun along the way, fiddling with the friends and toys she never got to experience.
