Spoilers WandaVision discussion thread

[Turtletrekker]

Oooh! I wasn't expecting the show to pick up literally right after everyone came back from the snap. This is the kind of chaos and confusion and grief I always suspected came about when half of the world suddenly returned from nothingness.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Wow. That was some creepy shit.

"It's all Wanda."

And the "corpse"... *shudder*

Four episodes in and I estimate that we have probably seen about upwards of 90% of the footage seen in the various previews.

And what happened to Franklin/"The Beekeeper"? Was he just blipped out of existence? Why did he just disappear where Monica was expelled?

 

[LaxScrutiny]

I'm Canadian and we didn't have cable television growing up so we only had three Canadian channels. Although I knew who Mister Rogers was (the American Mr. Dress-Up was how my parents described him) until this day I've never seen an episode of Mister Rogers.

In Toronto we could pick up, I think it was WKBW in Buffalo pretty clearly. Rocketship 7 and Commander Tom are clear memories of watching the old Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon serials, as well as George Reeves' Superman. NBC channel 2 and CBS channel 4 were Saturday morning cartoons. When UHF came around up here about 68 or 69,I could pick up a fuzzy channel 29 that showed 50's sci fi movies on Sunday nights.

I liked the episode. At this point, surely someone called and said "Hey Cap/Stark, there's something going on with Wanda. Do you know anything?" or something like that.

This is after Endgame, and both Captain America and Tony Stark died in Endgame. Well, okay, Cap actually died shortly after. In fact, he's probably on his deathbed while all this is going on, so no one's going to be calling him, I think.

 

[Seven of Five]

I wasn't expecting such creepiness. The way Wanda was trying to protect her reality was portrayed in a shocking way. Then Vision's head suddenly becoming a corpse was the cherry on top.

I loved that Darcy is becoming as hooked on WandaVision as we are.

Oh right, Tony died. But I was under the impression they kept Cap's actions under wraps...

 

[The Wormhole]

I just remember Cap was included in the memorial video of those who died in Infinity War/Endgame we see at the start of Spider-Man Far From Home.

 

[Finn]

I haven't seen it. Alright

 

[Richard Baker]

Been watching it with my wife, she has not seen the Marvel films so a lot of explaining had to be done with thus latest episode.

So now we know what's going of for the most part, still a lot of questions.
Love that Police officer standing with his back the town, denying that it existed!

 

[Grendelsbayne]

I just remember Cap was included in the memorial video of those who died in Infinity War/Endgame we see at the start of Spider-Man Far From Home.

That's probably just because no one told the general public about his time travel adventure. I highly doubt Old Man Cap is supposed to have died almost immediately after Endgame. It would be way too much of a downer on his ending.

Anyway, if you're going to ask the Avengers about something going on with Wanda, you obviously wouldn't ask Old Man Cap, anyway. What with him being so old he can barely stand up normally he's probably not involved. And Wanda was always closest with Hawkeye to begin with (other than Vision), so if anyone should be questioned it would be him.

Well, the show is picking up speed while still shrouding everything in a mystery.

As i said before here i think the 50s sitcom episodes went a bit too long (could have cut that down to one episode) it was a good and slow start to the show overall and now we can look at it from the outside - some nice callbacks seeing Wu, Darcy and Rambeau again trying to deal with the situation with the successor/partner (?) organization of Shield called Sword.

Given it's the MCU with all their curveballs we still don't know if it's entirely Wanda who created this alternate reality ( which would be quite an expansion of her powers since Endgame) or someone else, if she's manipulated or simply lost her mind ( possibly dealing with the loss of Vision here) - this is why it's becoming more fascinating by the episode. Years down the line we might all say "Well.. they laid the groundwork in Wandavision".

This show actually better justifies how they removed Steve in Endgame. He, in the movies and comics, has been the main Father Figure in Wanda's life (more than Magneto ever was).

If he HAD been around and active for this, he'd have likely been able to get through to Wanda if they'd sent him in.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Welcome back to the MCU, Darcy! You and your wit have been greatly missed.

That's a hell of way to interrupt the program. I definitely didn't expect to see Monica's perspective immediately after Tony's Snap. I am sad that they killed off her mother, Maria, during the five-year gap, but I get why they did it. I'm hoping we still get to see her again in the Captain Marvel sequel, depending on when its set (or even partially so).

I'm glad the show took a whole episode to show the outside world's perspective and how their experiences correlated with Wanda's Westview fantasy. As I already said, I love having Darcy back and I'm amused how well her pairing with Jimmy works (especially considering I didn't like him all that much before). I'm curious to see how the remaining episodes will play out. Will we get a couple more of straight sitcom pastiches before returning to SWORD and company, or will they be some kind of hybrid?

Returning briefly to the sitcom reality, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest when we saw the walking corpse of Vision. I did not see that coming.

Now I wonder if Wanda is reanimating his body to give him life again (tapping into some mumbo jumbo about material memory) just as she's using the Westview population to act out her sitcom fantasy. But that still leaves the question of how the twins exist (if they do at all).

And what happened to Franklin/"The Beekeeper"? Was he just blipped out of existence? Why did he just disappear where Monica was expelled?

I wondered the same. The episode went to lengths to show the parallel events to previous three episodes with everything else, but his experience was out of sync. I'm guessing he was erased from existence when she rewound the ten seconds...but was he removed out of space there and then...or for all time?

I loved that Darcy is becoming as hooked on WandaVision as we are.

Same here. She went from "*barf*" to completely hooked in a second!

 

[Reverend]

I'm so glad Kat Dennings is back as Darcy (and that she finally got her doctorate.) She has an irreverence that the MCU really needs now Tony is gone.

Supposedly there was a planned stinger for Endgame that would have had Wanda "visiting" where Vision's body had been stored as a set up for this whole thing. My impression from this episode is that she's basically puppeteering the thing with her powers...which is all kinds of morbid.

As for the twins; consider that Wanda was "blipped", so for her Vision's death was only a matter of weeks ago. Also consider that right before that the two of them had gone off grid together, for months...mostly in bed. Odds are she was already pregnant in 'Infinity War'.

Which makes me hope we'll see more of her after WandaVision is over. I don't know how but she needs to return again and not just Love and Thunder.

Right, I just read about that last week but forgot about it when I postulated. Seems more likely now.

Ohhhh! Good point there. I didn't even think about her being already pregnant in Infinity War (and perhaps specifically just before their first scene).

 

[Orphalesion]

Well that was interesting. Though I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get any sitcom fun this episode. But it was good to see what's going in the "real world" while Wanda is creating her dream world in that bubble. And the whiteboard was pretty funny "Why a sticom?"

And yes Wanda was quite creepy in that scene where she turns on Geraldine/Monica.

And yeah it's really best to see Wandavision as a movie which we are getting in installments, so to say.

 

[kirk55555]

This felt like a real monkey's paw episode for me. I wished to get plot development outside of the sitcom stuff, and we got a lot of it, and a good deal of it was really interesting. But, like any bad wish, to get what I wanted I had to suffer through seeing the absolute worst supporting character in the MCU showing up. I don't know what blackmail the woman playing Darcy has, but between this and ruining the audio adaptation of Sandman, I really wish she'd just go back to a shitty broadcast TV sitcom.

That said, when I didn't have to resist destroying my TV during Darcy's scenes, we got some interesting stuff, including zombie Vision and seeming confirmation that Wanda is doing this, and seems to know she is (at least part of the time, I think she does forget that she's doing it when she's not being directly confronted by reality). We also didn't get any straight up sitcom parody stuff, which was really nice. Hopefully we won't be reverting to full sitcom episodes again, and its more of a split between the interesting stuff and the bad sitcom stuff.

This episode was good, finally got the ‘real’ story started after 3 episodes of play acting old sitcoms. Obviously curious to see where it goes, and good with bouncing back and forth now, but felt like the first three just missed having something to tie it in, and were more of a waste because of it (could delete 2 of the episodes and lose nothing). We’re in it now...
