Are they going to do a Reverse House of M and have her wishing more people like her into existence, thus bringing X-Men into the MCU?

Seeing as they don't have any mutant projects on the horizon I doubt Wandavision is going to be used to backdoor them into the MCU.

They held back the announcement of the Boba Fett show a week or so just so they could announce it at the end of Mando Season 2.

So I looked up SWORD on Wikipedia because I wasn’t sure what it’s deal was, and the part that references Wandavision is kinda spoilery so watch out. Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division. Is that what it always stands for?

This is such a loaded question I don't even know where to begin.

Short answer? Kinda'. And not just on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The skip ahead at the end of Agents implies it's a Thing again with an Academy and a Space Force.

But also they've traveled through alternate universes so much and traveled through time that who knows where that's all happening.

And the director guy doesn't seem shifty to me - assuming that you mean he's a secret enemy or Mephisto or something. He seems like a smart, confident guy who is itching to prove what he and all his cool, awesome gadgets can do. Now that he has a named enemy Wanda he's going to break out his drones and nanotech and AI badass weapons to take her crazy rear end down save the town Westview.

To be fair ‘White guy who seems supportive of you and was a friend of your mother’ is like in the top three list of ‘People who will probably turn out to be an rear end in a top hat’

I like both Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, but is it worth it to power through to the fourth episode, where actual things appear to happen? I'm in the middle of the first episode, and I'm like "what the gently caress am I watching?"

I’ve been telling people that you could probably just skip from episode 1 to 4. Maybe I’ll end up being very wrong though.

I feel like there would be a lot less complaints if that 4th episode had been instead edited into the first 3. I liked them but I watch a lot of old sitcoms on channels like MeTV and AntennaTV and can see where someone who isn't familiar with what they were parodying would wonder what the hell they were watching. The Bewitched intro in the second one especially is really cool. Coming from that point of view the fourth episode actually seemed really out of place for me, but it was needed. They should've been cutting between the sitcom world and what we saw in the fourth episode the entire time. Like someone said earlier it's probably the way it is because the first three were sent out to critics and they wanted to avoid too many spoilers in those but in my opinion that's a stupid reason, just make the show the best it can be without worrying about spoilers. I don't care about spoilers and the people who really do can avoid them.

They should have just aired episodes 1-3 in the first week. Would feel a lot more “complete” with it ending with the shift to wide screen and Monica getting punted.

I think inner atonement is fine for Wanda, the problem is that we're basically at the end of the story and she's still barely conceded an inch that what she is doing is wrong.


This show has already had two episodes in one season that entirely consist of 'going back and explaining previous events'. I'm really enjoying the show on a week-by-week basis, but I have a strong suspicion that it won't stand up to re-watches at all. There's been a huge amount of treading water to get us to this reveal close to the end.

They seem to have that Netflix Marvel problem where they had their episode order and then had to justify it.

Like would we have lost much with:
Episodes 1-2 are sitcoms ending with Monica getting found out and punted
Episode 3 is Monica Flashback with "Fietro" reveal
Episode 4 Halloween while Vision explores and goes outside the Hex and finding out it was Agatha All Along
Episode 5 Agatha Explains it All

Maybe they'd need 40 minute episodes to make that work. It just seems silly since it's one of those shows where the viewer already knows the mystery and we have to watch the characters slowly unravel everything.

The Musk thing indeed taints the movie and is embarrassingly out of place having recently rewatched, but Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer means it cannot possibly be the worst Marvel movie.

Loki should have new mundane legal problems every year. Like maybe he messes up his space taxes and has to go to the Space IRS and deal with a bunch of paperwork.

I guess this pretty much retroactively neutered the stakes for Endgame. It didn't matter how many possible futures Dr. Strange saw.
