* SignatureScene: The scene where Waymond beats up a room full of security guards with a ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser fanny pack]]'', the first proper showcase of the film's multiverse premise. It's the most iconic and talked-about scenes in the film for reasons including the tight choreography of the fighting (with Ke Huy Quan doing almost all of his own stunts). If audiences know only one thing about the movie, it's the scene where [[Film/TheGoonies Data]] kicks ass with a fanny pack.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: When Big Nose appears [[spoiler:under Jobu Tupaki's control, using her pet dog as a flail]], her dog is very obviously swapped out for a plush toy for most of the scene. This works out in the movie's favor, since the alternative would have probably been too distressing to be funny.

* AwardSnub: Creator/JamieLeeCurtis getting -- and subsequently winning -- Best Supporting Actress nominations over Creator/StephanieHsu (as well as over Creator/AngelaBassett for ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever'' and Creator/KerryCondon for ''Film/TheBansheesOfInisherin'') at both the Golden Globes and the Las Vegas Film Critics Society in December 2022 riled up a lot of fans who saw Hsu's role and performance as more significant and challenging. At the very least, the Oscars nominated both of them for their award, although this reaction was renewed when Curtis ultimately won the Oscar. Somewhat downplayed in that most would agree that Curtis's performance was rather good, just that Hsu's role was deeper and more complex than Curtis's role.

** A cheerfully surreal [[TheMultiverse multiversal]] adventure about an Asian woman who can access all the memories and skills of her alternate selves? With ''Everywhere'' in the title? Sounds rather like a WebOriginal/JennyEverywhere movie. (Plus, Evelyn isn't ''that'' similar to Jenny Everywhere, but [[spoiler: Jobu Topaki]] has considerable similarities with common takes on her arch-foe Jenny Nowhere, both of them being women who have gained the ability to exist "everywhere, all at once" across {{the multiverse}}, and were turned into nihilistic villains by the [[GoMadFromTheRevelation experience]] even as it empowered them, making their newfound abilities a danger to the rest of reality.)

Added a bit to Ending Fatigue. I feel like there's some sort of Trivia tag I should be adding though


* EndingFatigue: One of the few common criticisms that stand out from the otherwise universal praise is that the third act is ''long,'' due to wrapping up [[spoiler:parallel plot threads from about a dozen different universes, cutting between them as the various versions of Evelyn all go through their own moments of realization about their shortcomings, all on top of the main plot of Jobu Tupaki and the "main" version of Evelyn]]. The fact that a large amount of that plays out in slow-motion can add to the feeling that movie is taking forever to get where it's going.

* AmericansHateTingle: The film wasn't received nearly as well outside of the United States. As it was sweeping awards shows within the US, it underperformed on wins elsewhere, even in countries with perceived similar cultures such as the UK and Australia (where it won only one and zero awards from the BAFTA and AACTA, respectively). Europe didn't think much of it, with Poland in particular detesting it, and online reviews became scathing as it opened in more non-English-speaking countries. Reasons cited mainly include the sense of humor being seen as gross or inappropriate outside of America, as well as the emotional beats not nearly being as resonant.

* TaintedByThePreview: Despite the draft for the film's script being written in 2016 and the movie's concept being developed as far back as 2010, quite a few viewers who saw the trailers and promotional material groaned at the fact that this was another ''multiverse'' movie due to the increasing amount of movies and TV shows being centered on it such as ''Series/{{Loki|2021}}'' (which Creator/KeHuyQuan funnily enough ends up joining), ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'', ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', ''Series/TheFlash2014'', etc. Because of this, some assumed it was simply hopping on the multiverse trend and therefore refused to see it due to being sick of the concept.

The note at the end undercuts the entire entry by saying that it's "largely one-sided", and Fandom Rivalry requires both sides.


* FandomRivalry: It has one with ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness,'' as both are sci-fi films about the multiverse with surreal visuals. Fans of this film disdain the former for being a big-budget Marvel production that gets more attention and money than an original film they think is superior (ironically, this movie was produced by [[Creator/TheRussoBrothers two of the chief creators]] behind the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse). Fans of ''Multiverse of Madness'' on the other hand find ''[=EEAaO=]'' fans to be absolutely insufferable and smug about their gloating of this film’s quality and wish that they’d leave a fun, SuperheroHorror movie alone and let people enjoy it on its own merits without a pointless comparison to this film. This really got started when Creator/JamieLeeCurtis jokingly took a shot at ''Multiverse of Madness'' in an Instagram post.[[note]]It's worth noting that the rivalry is largely one-sided. With much of the discourse coming from fans of this film. Fans of the former film, on the other hand, are much less heated in the debate, either agreeing that ''[=EEAaO=]'' is a superior movie or thinking that both films are good in their own ways.[[/note]]

* HypeBacklash: A relatively limited early release coupled with rave reviews early on created a great deal of hype from incredibly devoted fans of the movie. As such, later reactions to the movie included more muted responses, either not finding the movie as incredible as it was hyped up to be or by potential audiences being put off by how much fans of the movie were into it. It also didn't help that it was compared to other multiverse content, specifically ''Rick and Morty'' as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest slate. Things became even more pronounced during awards season, where a large group of critics and audiences deemed other movies such as ''Film/TheBansheesOfInisherin'' as more deserving.

* AmericansHateTingle: The film wasn't received nearly as well outside of the United States. As it was over-performing at awards shows within the US, elsewhere it underperformed on wins, even in countries with perceived similar cultures such as the UK and Australia (where it won only one and zero awards at the BAFTA and AACTA awards respectively). Europe didn't think much of it, in particular Poland detesting it, with online reviews becoming scathing as it opened in more non-English speaking countries. Reasons cited mainly include the sense of humor being seen as gross or inappropriate outside of America, as well as the emotional beats not nearly being as resonant.
