.The show starts on Disney+ this Friday, with the first two episodes.
Here’s an article revealing a little more about the show, including what sitcoms are homaged along the way.
Presumably the Malcolm in the Middle-inspired episode will introduce us to twins Tommy and Billy, thus introducing two more Young Avengers to the MCU.
Where’s that coming from? It’s more about time travel as far as I can tell, Loki playing a part in minor historical events.
Oh is it? For some reason I thought it was about alternate realities… I mean, that Loki IS from an alternate reality, technically, so I just assumed… but nevermind then I guess… 
I mean, that Loki IS from an alternate reality
No it’s not. It’s the same Loki who was in cuffs in Endgame (the moment that Tony revisits from the end of the first Avengers movie), and he grabs the Tesseract, somehow gets involved with the Time Variance Authority, goes time-travelling, then eventually dies at the beginning of Infinity War. He’s just travelling up and down the timeline, not to other universes.
I loved this episode. The show is full of intriguing ideas, that they veer between Wanda being slowly responsible and then away again keeps up the mystery while not being a ‘cock-tease’ show like Lost as they are not shy to give answers relatively quickly in. I can’t wait to watch every week.
therefore making that Loki in Endgame an “alternate” Loki, since “our” Loki is dead.
Huh? The Loki in Endgame is seen in the past. He’s at the point in the FIRST Avengers movie where the Hulk has incapacitated him and they’re about to take him back to Asgard. That’s when he goes a-time-travellin’!
All the stuff he does in Loki has already happened in the MCU timeline – like the fact that he was apparently D.B. Cooper. It’s just that nobody was aware Loki was involved when it happened.
He could even travel past the point in history where he died – that’s how time-travel works!
that’s how time-travel works!
Not in Endgame it doesn’t…
Again, look at Thanos… “our/main” Thanos gets killed at the start of the movie… then a younger Thanos from the past (much like the Loki from A1) travels to the future and also gets killed in the future… yet the younger Thanos being killed doesn’t alter anything in that future he traveled to, which is our “main” present timeline (the snap still happened, Tony still had a daughter, etc…), because the way it works as per Endgame’s rules is that everytime you time travel and create a change, you’re creating a new parallel reality.
So yes, the Loki in Endgame is the one from A1, but once he breaks free and fucks off somewhere he’s no longer “our” Loki… because the moment something went different, that reality became its own paralel reality… or you can also see it as the “main” timeline no longer being the “main” timeline once something changes, but that’s just more confusing.
My point is that the Loki from the show can die or survive, it doesn’t matter, because what happened in the “main” MCU timeline happened irregardless of any timetravel shenanigans (much like young Thanos).
But hey, don’t blame me, blame that shitty non-sensical Endgame script =P
I disagree and there’s no such word as “irregardless.” It’s just “regardless.”
I do like that there’s a possibility the Fox X-Men movies all existed in Wanda’s imagination and that they kept turning to shit as she lost her mind.
Coming up with this way to both resurrect and recast Pietro is pretty damn brilliant. Wanda said to her kids that her brother was “far away” and indeed he was. Now there is at least one set of mutant genes in the MCU…
The “she” that Vision’s co-worker said was in his head is clearly not Wanda, right? Dottie is notably absent. Her event in the 60s ep was “for the children”. Vision reiterates this week that there are no children there other than the twins. Agnes appears to be the only other person in the town who is allowed to help take care of the kids. Dottie and Agnes have been the only townfolk to talk to the “real” Wanda as well as the sitcom Wanda. I don’t know what all that means but it is something.
Wanda appeared to be trying to convince herself as much as the boys that she couldn’t bring back the dead. I presume that someone was trying to do that with Vision, hence her retrieving his body. Or the Big Bad wanted the body, controlled Wanda into getting it and her subconscious is fighting to protect the body, trapping it in this protective sitcom bubble. Now she is confused and wondering if she did resurrect him after all.
We’ll skip right past the unintented implications of AI necrophilia…
I love how much of the dialogue has dual meaning. Chief Agent Man tells Wanda she is holding the town hostage. She replies “I’m not the one holding the guns”. She knows on some level she isn’t really behind it all.
Also interesting that Wanda can actually leave Westview and it remained intact while she was outside it.
The Accords have a clause prohibiting bringing the dead back to life? They really covered a lot of ground. Was that negotiated in the Brexit agreement?
Is this one of those times when the Avengers are all off world on other adventures?
Kat Dennings likes coming up with cute names for things. Wanda has no known aliases. Hmm…
We’ll skip right past the unintented implications of AI necrophilia…
You’re no fun anymore.
he doesn’t count as being alive or dead because he’s a machine.
that is what I thought. Vizh may be in for a rude awakening if he thinks she can not him. Pietro called Vizh a “popsicle” which is a synonym of corpse. Can he see through the illusion and sees a corpse rather than the Vision?
I agree that there was not much progression but I enjoyed where Monica realizes her pants used to be a bulletproof vest and Darcy still gets the great lines. The woman who gave us “Miou-Miou” gets to say “she recast Pietro” LOL 
#1 question: her bro is here now. How long until Dad shows up? What is Michael Fassbender doing these days?
I’m not at all convinced that someone besides Wanda is doing this. When Monica describes what it felt like being under the spell she brings up grief as a main feeling. I don’t think it’s anything else than Wanda being consumed by grief, having lost everyone she ever cared for or shared a connection with. Creating a world where nothing happens without her say-so, where she gets to be in control rather than being a victim of circumstances, does seem perfectly in character for Wanda.
I thought it was all pretty tedious this week to be honest, with virtually no progression in the story.
Huh? That’s a weird way of looking at it. I mean, Vision has woken up to the reality of the situation, and he has broken through to one of the residents of Westview. Wanda was attacked by Sword and has retaliated, breaking through to the outside and demonstrating that she is aware (by now?) of the world outside and of Sword, and also that she will take them out if she has to.
Vision has confronted Wanda about the reality of the situation escalated the fight to the point where Wanda was losing control.
And then Pietro showed up.
I can’t imagine how more should have happened in the story in one episode; the plot progressed incredibly fast in this one.
If that still feels like no progression to you, I don’t think this show will ever be for you, honestly, because you have very different expectations from what the show wants to do.
Well now we know she brought the body to Westview… but that still doesn’t answer the big question: What the fuck was she doing there in the first place?
I’m still seeing a ton of theories around Mephisto, this time Pietro being Mephisto, but I don’t think that’s what it is… I still think Wanda is really doing all of this, her power is getting out of control and her mind seems to be fractured, though we still don’t know why. Some people have mentioned Nightmare, and I guess that’s a more plausible villain to use instead of Mephisto.
Also, what’s up with the dog? Something’s fishy with that dog… u_u
I’m not familiar with the story but Sparky actually was a character from the comics. He was a dying dog whose brain was transplanted into a synthetic body by Vision in his own misbegotten effort to have a nice family life in the suburbs.
These people have messed up back stories, even by Marvel Universe standards.
I do wonder how they’re going to end this show because right now, I can’t see any options that wouldn’t be incredibly depressing.
It’ll end just like every single marvel comic ever:
“To be continued”
Also, what’s up with the dog? Something’s fishy with that dog… u_u
The dog was just an homage to Sparky, the Vision dog from the Tom King mini-series.
having Wanda be the crazy woman who breaks down and goes mad because she can’t control her emotions would feel like a bit of an outdated stereotype.
What about having Wanda be a crazy person rather than a crazy woman? Because, honestly, I hadn’t thought of her being a “hysterical woman stereotype” until you said so. Not that I deny the existence of that trope, it’s definitely real and harmful, if anything I’m a victim of my own bias – Not thinking of people as men or women but as people.
Ironically it’s not that different a criticism from the Netflix Marvel shows – too repetitive and too overlong in terms of the number of episodes – but being a ‘true’ MCU series and the first one on Disney+ seems to have earned it it a bit of extra goodwill.
It’s earned good will from me because despite its faults – and I’ve said from the beginning that I thought it was self-indulgent – there’s more than enough in there to keep me guessing as to the outcome – and enjoy doing so. The fact that it can make a jaded, seen-it-all-before cynic like me this invested in fan-theorising is testament to what a good job I think they’ve done. And the ending of this week’s episode made my jaw hit the floor, which is a rare pleasure these days.
As to whether or not it’s just Wanda doing this… I think she’s definitely being manipulated by an outside influence, but it’s a subtle influence, using her grief as a tool. It’s someone who needs her powers – and has possibly even made them grow beyond what she was originally capable of – in order to achieve their own ends.
Whether that’s Mephisto, Enchantress, Nightmare, Ultron…
Whether that’s Mephisto, Enchantress, Nightmare, Ultron…
Feige?

Zack Snyder is the real enemy. Always!
Which is fair enough, but it makes me wonder whether the story is really suited for the weekly television format in that case. If you’re not getting much progression week-to-week then you start to wonder why you’re putting that time into it for basically the same thing every episode, without fresh twists and developments.
Depends on the viewer, I suppose? Personally, I love it and I don’t want anything different from it.
This is exactly the reason I think it can’t be as straightforward as that. Given that we’ve already seen plenty of deaths in these movies, having Wanda be the crazy woman who breaks down and goes mad because she can’t control her emotions would feel like a bit of an outdated stereotype.
That’s a fair point. Like Anders, I didn’t even consider it, but yeah, I can see how that’s a tough sell. And I suppose revealing a big bad behind it all is too great a temptation anyways; this is still superhero show after all.
Ironically it’s not that different a criticism from the Netflix Marvel shows – too repetitive and too overlong in terms of the number of episodes – but being a ‘true’ MCU series and the first one on Disney+ seems to have earned it it a bit of extra goodwill.
I don’t see that at all. If you take out the incredibly long credits the episodes have been as short as 21 minutes. So you are just about up to the content of 2 episodes of a Netflix Marvel show. In that time there’s been a lot of plot, especially in the last 2 episodes.
To me I think the difference is simpler, some of the audience have time for the sitcom conceit and some really don’t like it and that’s the divider in the responses. I think it’s important to spend some time in that world or it means nothing when it unravels.
We get the accusation of MCU ‘loyalty’ fairly often (usually when it comes to DC films rather than other Marvel product) but I’m not sure it really stands up, people have always been happy to call out if they make a stinker like Thor: The Dark World or Iron Man 2. I’m just genuinely really enjoying this show but it is different and may not be for everyone.
I really appreciated the theme song for this episode, and thought the “Can’t I?” [roll credits] scene was great.
My personal wish is for Harry Lloyd’s Professor Xavier to show up.
If they really wanted to go X-Men multiversal with the big bad, I’d go with Navid Negahban‘s Shadow King.
There is unfortunately not too many Avengers left. Being on the run with Cap, She may have gotten to know T’challa well but real world tragedy prevents that. Is Hawkeye currently on the run?
That’s why I was saying earlier on that I hoped Hawkeye would show up… he’s really the only one left she has a connection with.
I do agree that it’s hard to imagine Wanda being the sole “villain” here, because I don’t know if Marvel wants to go that way… but hey, who knows, we might be witnessing a villain origin story… I mean, they could be setting her up to be the phase 4 villain (or one of them). Maybe she’ll show up in Doc Strange 2 as a villain…
Also, re: the dog… I meant that the way it “died” was fishy, that whole scene with Agness getting the dog from the bushes was weird, like she was actually doing something with the dog.
If they really wanted to go X-Men multiversal with the big bad, I’d go with Navid Negahban‘s Shadow King.
Oh that’s a big FUCK YES! for me. I could totally get behind that even if it didn’t make much sense =P
Hell bring David into it as well… he could also make for a great villain.
As to whether or not it’s just Wanda doing this… I think she’s definitely being manipulated by an outside influence, but it’s a subtle influence, using her grief as a tool. It’s someone who needs her powers – and has possibly even made them grow beyond what she was originally capable of – in order to achieve their own ends.
True. When Vision freed Norm from the influence, he didn’t say “Wanda,” he said “She” or “her.” So that’s an interesting bit of ambiguity. Agnes pulled the “out of character” bit in front of Wanda AND Vision so it could be intentional on her part to set suspicions in Vision against Wanda who might have been genuinely confused. Even in her confrontation with SWORD, she didn’t quite seem to understand what she was doing or why. Wanda is being set up as the villain but at the same time, in terms of plotting, this is too early in a mystery story to reveal the villain. She would be the red herring… or Scarlet Herring, in this case.
Some nice touches in this one though like the slightly red tint on reflective surfaces that you’d see on an old TV set that was tuned a bit to bright. Was the dog something from the Visions comics series? Also, we’ve had hints of the old Vision villain The Grim Reaper. However, he doesn’t really fit in with the movies’ storylines since he is Simon Williams’ brother and has no connection to the Vision in the movies.
Also, even though Peitro was recast as another actor who played Quicksilver, that doesn’t mean this is the new Quicksilver. He could be a completely new character (though that would be confusing) who is in on whatever is going on behind the scenes. The missing witness is still a question but if he was important then you’d think they would already know that. After all, Jimmy knows who the witness is, but not where he (or she)is. Unless they have the power to change shape (skrull) or control minds.
also… Agnes killed Sparky, right?
She would be the red herring… or Scarlet Herring, in this case.
I hope this is what Darcy ultimately christens her.

Good points both. Yeah, I could see that.
Was the dog something from the Visions comics series?
They did have a dog in the Tom King series.
There is unfortunately not too many Avengers left. Being on the run with Cap, She may have gotten to know T’challa well but real world tragedy prevents that. Is Hawkeye currently on the run? He got through to Wanda in Age of Ultron maybe he could do it again here.
Well, theoretically there are quite a few left they could call in. But “Far from Home” post-credits scene suggested they’re currently in space with Nick Fury (and nobody knows they are). It would probably have been a good idea to have a line of dialogue explaining why they haven’t called them in though.
I was really impressed with the moments in the Hex
Ah, you called it the Hex. It’s catching on.
Third, why isn’t anyone asking why WandaVision, the show, is changing and progressing by decades?
Darcy asked that in episode 4. She concluded, “it can’t just be for my amusement, can it?”
And just because SWORD had Vision’s body, doesn’t mean they were trying to weaponise it.
why isn’t anyone asking why WandaVision, the show, is changing and progressing by decades?
That was what started the argument between Wanda and Vision. She says she is going to bed and Vision tried to stop her because he realizes when she wakes up in the morning, time has jumped. Steve is right about outside of Westview, Darcy notices the change, but inside of the show Vision is noticing and it could get tragic if Wanda gets upset and returns him to his inert state.
The Sword chief is probably lying about Wanda’s motives in stealing Vision’s body. She may have been rescuing him from being experimented on by the Sword scientists rather than stealing his body because she is mad with grief. I can’t explain what happened between the lab and Westview and why Vision is alive again.
And just because SWORD had Vision’s body, doesn’t mean they were trying to weaponise it.
I wondered about that, but they weren’t simply storing his body. They had a team of scientists taking it apart – he was all over several tables in the shot. And since “Weapon” is part of their name, I think Wanda probably did take it, not to resurrect him, but to ensure his will was carried out.

Well it did stop at some point, so no, not fully… But it looks like that’s a possibility at this point.
So we’re on episode 6, with 3 more to go and I still really don’t see how there’s an “evil” outside influence pushing Wanda to do this… I mean, if by now they haven’t introduced that element, it’ll feel pretty gimmicky if they do something like that in the last 2 episodes =/
I guess they can still do it in the next episode, but this episode, once more, reinforced the idea that this is all really Wanda’s doing. Even Agness was completely frozen, which wouldn’t really be the case if she was behind this.
It also looks like they’re all existing in a weird state we’re they’r both semi-conscious and semi-zombified, including Wanda. Also, nice to see that Pietro addressed the “children” issue… Speaking of which, wait… so did I understand correctly and this IS the MCU Pietro but he’s wearing the Foxmen Pietro’s face (making it indeed a cute cameo)? ‘Cause that’s what I got out of him this episode…
And it looks like the “world” inside the hex is getting more and more unstable… Vision is basically out of the “spell” and it would seem both kids and Pietro never were in the first place. And somehow I doubt it’s gonna get better by expanding it.
Is Darcy getting superpowers? What should she get? =P
And about Vision… well it seems he’s mostly a fabrication, yet he’s very much independent from Wanda’s will… So I’m having a new theory:
What if this is all happening because Wanda actually absorbed Vision’s essence when she killed him in IW? Maybe it’s just too much and having him inside her head is making her and her powers go crazy… Maybe she just really needs to flush Vision’s consciousness out of hers and that’s why she took the body. Maybe this Ralph (who is probably the witsec guy) is indeed being forced to repair Vision’s body, because the one that got out of the hex was definetly not a “real” body, it didn’t look like the fucked up pieces she grabbed from Sword…
Well, that’s my working theory right now. I’m really gonna hate this show if it ends up being just a way of bringing back Tommy and Billy into the MCU while they kill Wanda and leave Vision and Pietro dead… =/
Oh and lastly… nice wink to Kick Ass… not very subtle, but hey =P
Again, barely any real progression in the overall story this week, and even the parody aspect of the show felt a bit half-arsed – I like Malcolm In The Middle a lot but this didn’t even nail the superficial aspects once you got past the title sequence.
At least it’s looking like the stunt casting is no more than that – although Pietro’s references to their parents and upbringing did have me concerned they were going to start bringing in Magneto or something.
Dave’s response continues to amuse me here. I’ve barely seen a show in years that has generated so much chat and excitement and the very short episodes to me have a fast plot progression.
This is part of my non-Carrier chat:
As I said on Twitter earlier, the weekly nature of this experience and these discussions are inherently part of the experience for me. I think at this point even if I could watch the rest in one go I wouldn’t. Also, in three weeks time we lose that forever and I certainly don’t want that day to come any sooner than it has to.
Not everything is for everyone I guess.
And to think people thought Mephisto would look silly in the MCU…
I read your post before viewing and I legit thought Mephisto was going to show up. Reverse-spoilered. I like it.
My goodness, that Scarlet Witch costume…
I do hope that this is not all because of Chief Agent Bossface doing some evil scheming. It feels like the MCU has gone down the “shenanigans at the shadowy government agency” route too many times already.
Ditto for people “hacking through firewalls” to uncover plot information. Even more so when the character is meant to be an astrophysicist, not a computer genius.
I’m still leaning towards Mephisto as the real big bad. Wanda has said many times that she doesn’t know how this started or how she can do it. A deal with the devil? Pietro says Westview is “charming as hell” – phrasing. Faust made his deal with Mephistopheles at a crossroads and that’s where Vision encounters Agnes on the way out of town. Wanda is perpetuating the fantasy but someone else has initiated it. Eventually she’ll have to decide to let it go, probably after a heart to heart with Vision, and confront whatever started this.
It seems like Pietro is the Fox version of the character but with the MCU version’s memories imperfectly laid on top. When he turned up last week the SWORD alarms went off, which they seem to do whenever something crosses the Westview border. The dude came from somewhere.
Wanda spoke of nothingness and being alone… is she talking about her grief or her time being snapped, I mean, blipped? Nobody else appears to remember any of the time that they were away but perhaps with her Mind Stone powers she does. That would certainly mess a person up.
Apparently young Wanda and Pietro in the flashback scene were wearing Black Widow and Nick Fury costumes. Cute touch.
Well, I do enjoy a mystery and I love speculating and the guessing game and all that… and I do find the show very enjoyable overall, but I kinda have to agree with Dave to a certain extent… it IS repetitive and the pace could be a lot tighter… but hey, as long as they stick the landing, I’m good.
I think really though it’s the nature of what is a mystery show, which this was fairly clearly going to be from the preview material. You tease extra bits of information out each episode and then eventually get to a final reveal. Where they often fail is in spinning wheels in that process (Lost as the perfect example where you waited 50 episodes to find out the polar bear is on a tropical island because they were held in a research station) but I don’t think Wandavision is doing that at all, every episode you get to know more and as it’s short episodes there’s little standing around admiring the scenery.
They could have told us all by episode 3 I suppose but then that’s a different show and in my mind probably a less effective one but I like mystery shows. You need to establish Wanda’s world for the cracks in it to have any narrative impact.
He’s probably right that the various mysteries have less impact divorced from the MCU but that’s the context in which they are making it, where that world has a huge mainstream following. It also actually moves it along because concepts and characters we already know are just dropped in so the ‘origin’ of Monica Rambeau is all done in just over 5 minutes of screen time.
You’re right about those shows but they were also shows that were strung along for several years of full length seasons without any defined end point in mind, so they never quite knew how much to reveal and when, then by the end had created so many loose ends it was impossible to tie them all up.
So far as I know Wandavision has always been planned as 9 episodes and that’s that. With the MCU track record that’s been established I do give them the benefit of the doubt that they’ll stick the landing.
May well be proven wrong, of course.
It was lighter on that stuff than previous episodes but things still happened.
Vision is done playing the sitcom dad and has seen the world outside the Hex, as has one of the kids. Darcy learned that Special Agent Plotman was secretly tracking Vision for some reason (and they surely must have Darcy as a broke waitress in the next episode). Monica and Jimmy were let go from the investigation and are going it alone, arranging to meet their own contact. Monica learned that the Hex changed her cellular structure. Wanda showed she has the power to expand the Hex but confirmed she doesn’t know how it started. Pietro confirmed that he knows he’s in a fake environment but was enjoying it (for the time being, being blasted by Wanda may well change his mind). Agnes definitively framed Wanda as the source of it all to Vision, plus told him he was an Avenger and dead (it remains to be seen if she can be trusted and what he will do with the information). We learned that there actually are not any children in the town, Wanda just added them for the Halloween special.
So, yeah, bits and pieces. We’ll see where they take them and which prove to be important by the end.
This sort of mystery show must generate a lot of chat online, which is the sort of thing that companies like Disney yearn for these days.
I agree that Disney must be very happy with people discussing this week-to-week. As we’ve talked about before I think it shows the value to them of not following the Netflix ‘dump’ model – not just to stop people watching it all for a single month of the subscription fee, but also keeping it part of that cultural conversation. If they had dumped it all in one go, five weeks ago, we would have all long moved on by now.
See? That’s why Snyder is such a valuable asset… 10 years from now people will still be debating whether MoS, BvS and the Snyder cut were shit or not 
I agree that Wandavision works very well in the weekly format… but I still have my doubts that Falcon & WS will work as well as this… somehow I don’t see that show having the same “mystery” elements like this one does that drives so much speculation.
Yeah, I must admit it is kind of nice to have a new episode to look forward to on the same day each week.
I’m tempted to, and you know it. Really, really tempted.
I fully expect that by the end of the show, Wanda and/or Vision will say to themselves “am I right? Am I wrong?” and ask themselves “my God, what have I done?!”
The thing is, the reveal here probably wouldn’t have worked if it wasn’t for all the build-up. Save for maybe dropping one of the first two episodes, every part so far has added something, expanded something or moved the plot along. If you didn’t do something of a slow burn, the creeping horror elements of the show would have overpowered the narrative about personal tragedy and coming to terms with loss.
Also, just checking people know there’s a mid-credits scene this week?
Oh last thing: Anyone knows what the whole “Nexus” thing in the commercial is a reference to? This is the first one I was clueless about…
It’s probably a reference to the Nexus of All Realities, a gateway to infinite dimensions, which for some reason Man-Thing is the guardian of (I believe the Earth 616 gateway is in the Florida swamps – maybe in the MCU it’s in the basement of a witches house in suburbia.)
It’s been a part of Marvel lore for decades – Doctor Strange banished the Hulk there when he became fully savage years ago, for instance.
Twitter chatter seems to believe Mephisto is behind things, because before Wanda went into the basement, the camera zoomed in on a fly, which apparently is how Mephisto first appeared.

Ohh nice! I didn’t know any of that, thanks!
Well, at this point they might as well go with Mephisto, but they better have an air-tight narrative for it all because I feel they haven’t seeded him AT ALL so far… at least with Agness they did… somewhat… oh well, we’ll see…
I didn’t like that whole Agatha Harkness bit at the end… it was super hockey and kinda broke the seriousness of the situation. That’s a very MCU thing to do, cut the tension with a joke, something that I’m personally very very very tired of, I mean, it fits better withing the context of this show, but still… are we supposed to take her seriously, or as a serious threat after that “intro”? I dunno, it just didn’t work for me… u_u
I liked it, but then I’ve always liked Hahn and enjoyed seeing her have fun with it.
It was also a good way of showing her taking over the TV show aspect, and suggests that she’s been behind the whole concept of turning reality into a TV show and broadcasting it outside Westview. Again, presumably we’ll find out more about exactly why she’s done all this next episode.
