WandaVision (Disney+) Official Thread

[lonestar]

But... DAMN!!  This episode was amazing.  "What is grief, if not love perservering?"

I loved that line so much.

Yep, so perfectly worded.

[Orbert]

When he said that, I just went "Fuhhhhh... " and had to pause for a minute.  My wife looked at me, and I just said "That was amazing."  Then I un-paused (which means I did my usual thing of backing up a bit first, then hitting Play.  That way you don't lose the "rhythm" of the scene despite pausing.  Or something like that).  So I got to hear the line again, and I think I teared up a little bit.  Why do I care so much about a crazy woman and her love affair with a robot?

That was the best original line of the MCU.

By about a million miles.  Best line I've heard in film or TV in a while

No kidding.

Apparently that line is causing "controversy" online.  I had no idea.  I thought it was brilliant, but I guess everything's gonna offend somebody.

WandaVision Director Addresses Controversial Line About Grief

A line about grief is dividing ‘WandaVision’ fans on social media


I can't even figure out what people are actually complaining about.  But I didn't really try that hard.

[jammindude]

According to the article you posted....cinema snobs think the MCU is Nickelback.  That's the only issue. 

[Lonk]

Sounds to me like a bunch of people like to criticize anything related to the MCU.

[Orbert]

I kinda thought that that's all it was.  I saw a headline earlier with the word "controversy" in it, then something else later in the day, and I wondered WTF people's problem could be.  I thought it was halfway amusing at first, but upon reflection, it's really just sad.

[Zook]

Any disappointment is no fault but our own.

LOVE THAT COSTUME

[lordxizor]

The finale was great. I gotta say, between The Mandalorian and now Wandavison, I think I'd be ok with Star Wars and Marvel all being done as D+ series going forward. More time to tell the story and really flesh things out better than can be done in a 2.5 hour movie. Though I would miss seeing it on the big screen.

[faizoff]

Enjoyed the finale. Though they've left a setup for other things, I'm guessing it's going to be shown in more movies or other shows. Overall it was a fun show.


Also first time there are two after-episode credits. One mid-credit and another after all credits roll by, aka typical Marvel movie end credits.

[ariich]

That whole season was amazing. Got a bit choked up at the end. Definitely among my absolute favourite things from the MCU.

Excited to see where things go next in the MCU and with the characters from this show.

[Adami]

I think they nailed it. The fight scenes were a bit boring but they nailed everything else just so well.

It sucks if people were expecting other things.

[lonestar]

Fucking brilliant. And man, that ending... 

[jingle.boy]

Yup... quite a satisfying "conclusion".  Just enough left open ended, while tying up the primary loose ends.

[DoctorAction]

Was quite moved by it. Really good.

It's ridiculous but it's been so great to have the MCU back in our lives. I've really missed going to check out the latest Marvel movie at the flicks. Looking forward to TFAWS and Loki.

Yep. It was a really good little series. Who knows 'where' the story goes from here. Obviously as others have mentioned they wrapped up the main points of this season while keeping the whistle wet with some interesting open ended opportunities. Will those opportunities take place in other MCU films/TV series? Who knows? Honestly, between The Mandalorian and this show.....Disney has really been on point so there's no real reason to doubt whatever the direction or plan is.

[ProfessorPeart]

Brutally sad ending, but what a show. Kudos to Kathryn Hahn, she really showed me something in her performance. I knew she excelled at goofy, but she brought the serious here.

Also, love Wanda's new costume.

Nice to also see the Darkhold brought back. That played a major role in S04 of Agents of Shield. It was also in Runaways.

[Adami]

I will say that I didn’t like how they handled Pietro. I get what they were doing but two multiverse fakeouts in a row is just kind of mean.

[lonestar]

 

[Zantera]

I really enjoyed the season overall though it definitely declined for me in the last few episodes once the mystery was resolved, the 'twists' were over and the last episode was pretty much entirely action scenes and the story unfortunately took the backseat.

It's important to judge the show on what it does rather than weird expectations or fan theories you put on the show yourself, but it's hard to not think about missed potential. The Quicksilver appearance for example could have played out in many satisfying ways yet they went for possibly the lamest explanation/reasoning which just felt really lackluster.

Good season overall but yeah last 2 episodes for me were the weakest. Still good, just hoped for more I suppose.

[lonestar]

I think I was as well...but I guess we can't let them drop the Fantastic 4 and Xmen all in one boot, though I wish they'd have left some loose ends to play with in the coming products. I highly doubt they have shit planned out that in detail, more a general map I'd gather, which would allow for some wiggle room for the individual screenwriters. Having those unresolved details could come into play later.

[jingle.boy]

Spoilers, even though it seems we've all watched.

Where’d White Vision go?  Off to have an existential crisis (literally!)??  TBD I guess
I love how they showed Wanda actually "more powerful than The Sorcerer Supreme” at the end, by being in control of both her physical and astral form at the same time.  Was that the Darkhold she was studying?  I guess I could go back and just watch that scene again.
I gather this won’t be the end of Agnes… She’ll show up again in the future to guide/mentor Wanda, just as in the comics.  Since she doesn't have anything more than knowledge now, I have no doubt they'll pivot her character.
Speculation …. Nightmare snatched Tom's and Bill’s souls as they fell asleep, before the Hex collapsed.
Seems they did just enough to setup for Secret Invasion, Cap Marvel 2, and Dr. Strange 2
Is she living on the other side of the lake from Pepper?   

Oh, and yeah... the costume is fantastic.

[Orbert]

So... Agatha was "permanently" turned into Agnes and confined to live in Westview.  Then Wanda allowed the Hex to collapse, freeing all the residents of Westview.  They all got their minds back.  Does that include Agnes?  Or was the Agatha/Agnes confining spell a completely separate thing?  I suppose it is.  Either that or we're just not supposed to think about it.

[lonestar]

I thought White vision and Vision merged.

the way i saw that explained that made the most sense to me goes back to how Agatha explained the Hex, that the magic Wanda used to create the hex tied Vision and the twins to it, and she had created it unintentionally.  When she turns Agatha back into Agnes, she's consciously choosing to place Agatha under this spell separate from the power of the hex itself.

[Lonk]

I thought White vision and Vision merged.

White vision took off right after "regaining" his memories saying "I am vision". Assuming we will see him later.

There are rumors Wanda will be a future villain and White Vision will fight against her (that's just a rumor thought).

Exactly... Wanda used the runes to prevent Agatha from using her magic, then did exactly as Agatha had done to others - stole her magic (at least, that was my interpretation).  Then as the count said, placed a spell just on Agatha to revert her back to Agnes to live her days in Westview as "the nosy neighbour".

OK must've missed that.

Yeah, he just bolted thru the roof of the library.  I assumed he was going to help Wanda, but that was the end of him in the episode.

[The Walrus]

This is the first and so far only Marvel TV show I've watched. I loved every second of it. I was hoping for a second season and more Agatha Harkness because I thought Kathryn Hahn absolutely nailed it in the role. The special effects in the finale were incredible. Watching the two Visions go at it with that Chaos Magic barrier looked EXACTLY like they ripped it out of a comic book (and not being a comic reader I have no idea if that's what happened). Even Agatha and Wanda's magics looked super convincing, I loved that CGI.

I have no complaints. I liked Evan Peters as Ralph. I thought the fakeout was hilarious and worked well. Also having just gotten into American Horror Story in December (just started 1984 last week, can't wait for the 10th season when it drops), I just really appreciated his presence. He's a great actor even in a small part.

Also, SKRULLS!!! PHOTON! CAPTAIN MARVEL 2 MAYBE LET'S GOOO

[Orbert]

They wrapped up the story in a pretty satisfying way, and dropped some cool hints about things to come.  That's pretty much what they needed to to, and they nailed it.

This!

The disparity between my expectations going and my satisfaction upon conclusion is a mile-wide.
