Jagermonster posted:Yeah they clearly and specifically identified most of the people in the town except Agnes. So Wanda may be creating the reality but still lots of room for mystery as to whether she's being manipulated/nudged/influenced for whatever reason. Man seeing dead Vision was a punch in the gut. Interesting thing to look back on, but in the first episode, Agnes mentions that she was out of town when Wanda and Vision showed up. That could be part of her "script," but it might be something of note down the line.

That was a really cool episode. Liked how they played up the ominous, horror feeling in that final scene

It may be rote at this point, but it's just wonderful that this is a TV series about two Avengers that also features side characters from Thor, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel. I love spending time in what actually feels like the Marvel Universe.

One thing that isn't really a plot hole, but just probably a 'they didn't really bother checking' thing, Darcy wasn't actually a physics major in the Thor films she appears in. The joke was she was in political science and just interned with Jane because it was paid and no-one else applied. Now obviously about a decade has passed in-universe and assuming she wasn't dusted, she could have completed her degree, done another post-grad and PhD, or just switched majors, but I assume the writers just forgot and assumed she was in the same field as Jane and Selvig.

Doesn't really seem that big of a stretch to assume that she just went in a different direction after multiple encounters with aliens

Also we don't have a real name for Dottie either, i don't think, and someone pointed out that with the platinum hair and the way they're styling her, Emma Caulfield-Ford wouldn't be a bad shout for Clea from Dr Strange.

Pretty sure if I met Thor I'd start caring a lot more about astrophysics.

If my thought dead wife came back as a superpowered hero and I just encountered multiple species of aliens, one of which just attempted to nuke my planet, I'd probably push to create an agency to deal with aliens too

The one thing that's interesting is Maria died 3 years ago (we're told) but no-one's pushed to make Bland McWhiteguy the permanent director?

It sounded like it was supposed to be the SWORD of the comics dealing with space stuff but the blip messed everything up so they’re just doing terrestrial stuff?

The first few minutes of this week's episode is really what I was hoping for in post-Endgame TV shows. Dealing with the post-blip. Much better than Far From Home did.

That kinda sucked. The first three episodes were very naturally and subtly explaining what the situation is, and then they do an episode just to blatantly explain it in case anyone was confused. I liked Kat Dennings in the Thor movies, but she was a bit terrible here. It's like they made some kind of horrible compromise to make the previous episodes good. They were given a base minimum amount of terrible Joss Whedoney banter that they needed to put in the show, and they kept it out of the sitcom episodes by dumping it all onto Kat Dennings. "We cant have Vision say 'That just happened' in the first episode, it doesn't fit the time period at all! We can take that line out if we balance it by having Kat Dennings be sassy-mean to the chemist in episode four for no reason"

Or the real world, for that matter. Oh, another minor point but I feel very dumb for not noticing that Agnes is most likely her improvising a Westview name much like Monica did, but doing the classic sitcom 'start the first syllable and figure it out' bit. AGatha harkNESS.

Agree that Dennings was not great here. I enjoyed this, but I do think that a lot (probably most) of the answers to questions from the first three episodes that we got here could have been integrated into the forward plot progression of subsequent episodes rather than made the focus of a flashback episode. Well, it's Marvel Studios' first foray into episodic television, I guess it's not surprising that they're still figuring out how to structure a story for that medium. also: not posting them here, but some very spoilery clips and images from what seems to be the sixth episode have leaked, so be warned

This was the second foray. Reminder that Falcon/Winter Soldier was supposed to air last July before... well... obviously.
