How many episodes of WandaVision are there? It's made me kind of sad that we probably won't see more Vision in the future, I like his character. Also am I wrong in thinking that Aaron Taylor-Johnson agreed to be Quicksilver in AoU only if they killed him as he didn't want to do more than one film?

Thought it was a decent episode albeit felt a little like a wheel spinner, not to a disastrous degree though.

That loving ending, holy poo poo. Other thoughts I think it's been telegraphed pretty hard who Agnes really is with this episode. What with the costume and that loving cackle. I will be extremely pissed if if it turns out that AIM has infiltrated SWORD like Hydra did with SHIELD. I'm not sure if Hayward is full on villain like Pierce was in Winter Soldier, or just suffering PTSD from the times between SNAPThanos and SNAPHulk and his response is just fear driven. Yay! Monica is definitely gonna be Photon. Hopefully this season Wanda speculation: I'm not totally convinced Wanda has full agency over Westview. I mean it's 100% her powering everything, I don't think she's being puppet-mastered, but I do think she's being influenced at some level. Of course, I'm still not entirely sure what the gently caress is going on with that town. I mean it seems like extreme overkill when all she wanted was Vision back, I'm just not getting how that requires all the fuckery going on with the town.

One little thing I liked: not one single person on Halloween (other than you know, Wanda and the Fam) were dressed as a superhero. No kids dressed as Capt America, or Iron Man, or Thor.

Loved the costumes of course. I'm very interested in what this Pietro knows and what he doesn't. I'm beginning to think it's not as simple as an alternate universe Pietro showed up. He doesn't seem to be as vulnerable to Wanda's magic as everyone else. Vision is great in this. I see you, Agnes. I see you.

good episode, though the SWORD scenes are still painfully dull and the plot didn't advance quite as much as I was hoping for; unless there really isn't another to-be-revealed antagonist, it seems like the last three episodes will have a lot of legwork to do and I'm not entirely sure the remaining episodes will have enough running time to stick the landing

I liked Peters vacillating between the wise cracking way he played the character in the X-Men movies and doing his interpretation of the more serious Ultron version.

I was also very 'hell yeah!' when our heroes beat up the SWORD goons and Jimmy was actually fighting totally competently. I saw one review compare Jimmy and Darcy to Mulder and Scully, but I think that's more Jimmy and Monica, with Darcy as the Lone Gunmen? And Hayward as the Cigarette Smoking Man, I guess.

Interesting theory I've seen is how other than Wanda's trauma, the commercials all point to a different Infinity Stone. Presumably, there's one commercial left. Toaster: Is meant to loosely resemble Vision's head. Although red, color is coming from the dot on the "forehead." This is the Mind Stone. Watch: It's a watch commercial that talks up time stuff. Obviously the Time Stone. Soap: The Hydra soap takes the form of a blue cube, much like the Tesseract holding the Space Stone. Paper Towels: Wipes up red liquid, which is the Reality Stone's true form. Yogurt: A skeleton is doomed to exist alone in a desolate land, much like the Red Skull guarding the Soul Stone.

Another little detail is that the headpiece for Wanda's Sokovian fortune teller (btw, I just started reading the new run of X-Force, and is that the first time Sokovia's made it to the 616?) outfit is almost too good for the homemade costume aesthetic? Like, if the rest of the outfit was more 'movie' styled, you could probably keep it and it would look fine.

So the commercial seemed pretty clear Wanda has to figure out her magic. But I do wonder if Pietro might not be the X-Men Pietro, but his casting isn't just random fanbait. The fact that he appeared exactly when Vision decided to oppose the whole thing, the way he seems to be intentionally setting himself up as a replacement father figure for the kids and confidante for Wanda, the fact that he is 100% in favor of the whole thing. I think Pietro could be someone else, some Mephiston or Jack Harkness character like you guys were speculating about. He went in when he though Vision was going to shut it down specifically to keep it going. He's some extra dimensional figure who took on the form of Pietro, but for some reason took the appearance of a Pietro from a neighboring dimension. So multiverse established, the casting was important, but he's still not actually X-Men Quicksilver

It seems like the runtime is whatever they want it to be, unless they’ve been posted somewhere the last episode could be an hour for all we know. Even if it’s not they have a short movie’s worth of time to work with still.

I mean, the shark saying it's "snackin' on yo' magic" seems pretty blatant. EDIT: Also, am I crazy or is the kid playing Tommy a way better actor than the one playing Wiccan? Probably not an issue long-term, as I assume they'll be recast before any Young Avenging happens (or maybe by next episode, honestly) Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Feb 12, 2021 |

I remember it being a point in the Captain America series right after he came back from being old and was secretly Hydra.

It's the first commercial not related to a previous trauma, and also the first commercial since Pietro showed up. at this point my money is on Wanda did it, but magic on that scale drew the attention of something which entered the hex disguised as Pietro and is encouraging it for it's own ends.

In terms of Wanda's trauma, the commercial could also lend itself to Civil War. She spends much of the movie under house arrest due to everyone being afraid of her. Then in the end, she's trapped and restrained in an island prison.

It's also the only commercial scene without the same actors that were in the others, which some people are theorizing might be related to Wanda (her parents?). I have a feeling it's not related to her trauma. It's related to the trauma she's inflicting others. As seen elsewhere in the episode those that are trapped but aren't close enough to her magic are stuck and seemingly wasting away.

Please do not read this if you want to avoid that. There is a leaked storyboard floating around that shows a different view of the scene where she goes to Sword headquarters, she isn't violent at all at first and is let in by the director. So, unless the scene was changed and is no longer in the show, it seems like we'll be seeing it again from a different perspective. Also in the first frame of the story board she's being followed by a woman into Sword headquarters who is holding a rabbit. Which neighbor of Wanda's has a rabbit?

One thing I really liked is how they're showing that everything is coming apart at the seams. In the early episodes, everyone was sincere, everything -- the costumes, the effects, the cameras, the screen ratio -- fit the time frame, and any deviations were obvious glitches that got quickly corrected. Now, though, Vision and Quicksilver are both clearly playing roles rather than living their lives (and Paul Bettany did some masterful work using his line readings to convey "look I will play along with this dumb script for the bare minimum amount of time and if you push me I'll bring reality crashing down around both our ears, Wanda") and everyone else is fighting to escape, the screen ratio has been anachronistically widescreen for the 80s and 90s episodes, the special effects in this episode were all modern CGI, there's continuity errors -- The Incredibles came out in 2004 and The Parent Trap in 1998, no theater is playing both of them simultaneously -- and what's somehow worst of all is that "the sitcom" seems to have just given up and is playing it all as normal. The way everyone dropped their ominous lines or flickered in and out of character with the too-bright lighting and jaunty pop-punk background music continuing on like this was an expected part of the show now creeped me out immensely. The rot has spread all the way to the roots. On other topics: Did Darcy ping anyone else's radar tonight? I think it's just that I'm too keyed into this being a mystery box show where any mistakes are deliberate clues, but "expert astrophysicist, super-hacker who can get through top-secret government firewalls with a laptop, and also is medical doctor too" was just... come the gently caress on. I'll accept that omni-capable poo poo from the people I'm told are super-geniuses, but Darcy's supposed to be a normal person. I'm pretty sure it is actually just lazy writing and not a clue and I'll just have to nod my head and agree that all forms of being Smart are basically interchangable as the price of admission, but to repeat myself, come the gently caress on. I loved Wanda showing exactly what she thought of SWORD. And finally, an answer to a very important question, I thought: confirmation that Vision doesn't revert to being dead with a gaping hole in his head when he breaches the barrier has several important ramifications. We now know that that, and her similar glimpse of corpse-Pietro, are PTSD flashbacks and she's not puppeting literal corpses around. It implies that Vision can survive outside Westview if he doesn't have a barrier dragging him back in, so this may not be his swan song after all. (Which is good!) And finally... that's an Infinity Stone in his forehead. And it didn't disappear. edit: Wait, one more thing. We now have three data points, which is enough to draw a trend, and that's that nobody has continuity of memory. Vision, Wanda, and Quicksilver have now each told a version of the same basic story: "Step 1: Trauma, Step 2: ???? Step 3: I woke up in Westview".
