That was very cute, though I don't think anything here will particularly surprise anyone who, well, knew anything about these characters or this show. I hope the episodes get longer 'cuz dang

Whatever else, it's definitely pretty fun to see Olsen and Bettany show this kind of different range than we're used to seeing from them in the films. This sort of stuff would never usually appear in an MCU flick. Usually. Unless it's from James Gunn or Taika Waititi, but even then.

There is zero chance that they won't have both Billy and Tommy as Wanda's twin boys. Marvel just isn't going to do that. If we ever get MCU Viv, it'll be through a different method.

I can't remember which Tumblr meme I got this from but someone once said a couple years ago that Wanda wishes her life was a romcom, but she's actually living in a survival horror, which seems very apt for how it's going for her nowadays.

I think I agree that the sitcom gimmick wasn't quite as strong this week 'cuz the pregnancy was such a huge element of the episode, and a plot like that is actually so universal and timeless that it didn't particularly cater to any 70s vibe. There was stuff in the first two episodes that was like, oh yeah, this feels like it belongs in a 50s or 60s sitcom, but there was nothing here that particularly stood out as anything that a 70s show might have have, moreso than any other decade. I do like the overall metaplot still going on though.

It might be good for folks to manage their expectations a bit from here on out. I presume there's going to be at least three more episodes utilizing this sitcom gimmick. After which, though...who knows?

Gaz-L posted:Doesn't entirely explain why they can't just ask Dr Strange to pop by and do some mojo. Could even say that the Eye of Agamotto makes him immune to her rewinds. (I do hate that they just made the Eye a fancy case for the Time Stone, it's way cooler in the comics as an anti-illusion/deception widget That said, Strange really shouldn't have any power or protection over time now that the Time Stone is gone. In fact, my current theory is that Wanda actually absorbed and developed the power of all the Infinity Stones, which gives her power over reality, the power affect time, even power over souls.

Well, Mephisto's name always seems to pop up whenever anyone speculates about a big heavy-hitter magical bad guy coming to the MCU -- everyone was saying how the Sigourney Weaver character in Defenders was likely to be Mephisto, for no particular reason in retrospect -- but in WandaVision's case there's at least some credence to that theory because he was heavily involved in the storyline where Wanda and Vision "lost" their children in the first place. If there's going to be any villain pulling strings here, then -- going strictly from comics source -- Mephisto would make the most sense. But no, there have been no production or story or casting leaks suggesting Mephisto will appear here. If anything, the episodes so far seems to be telegraphing something of a Hydra plot.

I hope that this version of SWORD doesn't run into the same sort of problems it did in the comics where, on top of just being SHIELD in name only, it's also supposed to be this top-notch first-responder, contingency response against otherworldly problems.......but we still want to do big events and put the world in great danger from those things so they can't actually stop these problems or be too competent. Also the director guy is kinda shifty to me. I feel like he's gonna end up being Hydra or Mephisto or whatever, despite him seeming like a pretty good egg and there's literally no reason to suspect him of anything.

I mean...not for nothing, but the MCU government should have been treating Wanda like Magneto or Zod or something. She was allies with Ultron and she's responsible (by their standards) for the destruction of the Wakandan embassy that led to the Sokovian Accords and her being a fugitive right up until the Blip. That's why I thought it was a little weird for Jimmy to be calling her "Wanda" and treating her like any other Avenger. Jimmy's just friendly, I know, but law enforcement should not be on friendly terms with her, even before now.

My theory right now is that the Wanda who ransacked SWORD to get Vision's body, aka the Wanda who threatened everyone at the border, is an imposter disguised as her.

cant cook creole bream posted:Why? I can't see any arguments in favor of that theory. This seems unsubstantiated at best.  ) for Wanda to be with her boys in one moment, outside of Westfiew in the next moment, and then back looking for the dog as if she hadn't actually gone anywhere. Which would make sense if she hadn't gone anywhere and the Wanda we saw outside the Hex ( ) was in fact just a different person.The speech she gave to the twins, about how you can't reverse death, also doesn't really square with her mindset of just using her powers to do whatever she wants. Also, Wanda seemed to acknowledge that was in fact controlling everything when speaking to SWORD, but later seemed to suggest to Vision that she's not truly the one in control here. (This point relies on trusting that she's being truthful to Vision, though, which is dubious) (All the same though, I think we can believe she's genuinely surprised to see "Pietro" and that his return was outside of her control) It would also explain why Wanda even knew Vision was being kept with SWORD in the first place.

BurritoJustice posted:Wanda's speech about the dog was just because she can raise the dead or age the kids, she won't always because she wants to keep with the rules of her new reality. If you rewatch it's pretty clear she can definitely do it if she wants to. And yeah, like, there are just moments here and there, like the one with Agnes in this episode, that seem to portray Wanda as being just as genuinely confused about what just happened as everyone else. It's just a theory, mind.

Lunatic Sledge posted:Do we know if MCU Dr. Strange has any passive telepathy resistance? Hawkeye, Selwig and whoever else acted to the extent of their capabilities when Mindstone'd by Loki; Wanda having Strange brainwacked in a basement somewhere doing the real magic could explain a lot In the movies the only thing the Eye did, as far as we know, was to house the Time Stone. So unless they change its properties, they'll have to come up with some other mystical mind protection for Strange.

That was probably my favorite episode and not just because of the later parts. The 90s stuff, like the child narration and quick-cut flashbacks, were was just so delightfully kooky and spot-on at the same time. Evan Peters also did such a great job here. I want him to stay.

Meanwhile, I highly doubt this is how they do mutants in the MCU. When they bring in mutants it's going to be proper mutants, children of the atom, genetic evolutionary species, blah blah yada yada. It's not gonna be "science/magic experiment gone wrong, all of them from a random town in New Jersey" like what seems to be happening with Monica. Like they're not gonna have Psylocke or Wolverine be from Westview, y'all.

True, let me rephrase: if this is how mutants happen, it won't be because, like, some Americans went in and out of the Hex a few times here. Instead, it would have to be something unforeseen and much bigger in scale, not only in terms of space, but also somehow reaching back through time to make it so that there were always mutants throughout world history and that's just how it is thanks to crazy Hex magic. It's not impossible, but it won't be like what's happening with Monica here.

So, crossposting that I know folks don't want Mephisto or whatever, but right now I'm dang close to certain that "Pietro" is gonna turn out to be Mephisto, and Evan Peters is gonna end up playing him in the MCU going forward. All of Pietro's lines just make so much more sense if you imagine him as a smarmy, free-wheeling trickster devil character who's enjoying the chaos and discord all this is sowing, is provoking Wanda to go even further with it ("I'm impressed!"), and is developing a notable relationship with her kids.

It also bears emphasizing just how completely different Evan Peters Pietro is from Aaron Johnson Pietro. We didn't see much of the old Pietro, but he was very protective and attentive towards Wanda in an almost overbearing way; there's no way he would taunt her like this or make fun of her trauma. And at first, it seemed like the new Pietro was just playing up the sitcom tropes of the funny intrusive uncle who gets on the tightly-wound parents' nerves ('cuz that's what Wanda wanted, according to him), or else maybe he's just acting more like the Fox Studios Peter Maximoff who's much more snarky and deprecating. But the more we see, the more it seems like he's just...well, a mean person. It's tempting for Wanda (and many fans) to imagine that she really brought her brother back somehow, but it's hard to imagine any version of Quicksilver that would treat her like this. That, more than anything, makes him feel like Mephisto. Or whoever he is.
