Bring in Ian and have his cameo end with Magneto being hit by a deaging Ray or smth and regenerating into someone else

Yeah, it's not like any of those spoilers are guesses based on the most recent episode or something!

This thread has two types of people - people happily discussing the show and obeying the spoiler rules, and people saying poo poo like “these rules don’t make sense I don’t understand I like to debate inane minutia for no reason on the internet durrrrr”


Be more like the first kind of people and less like the second kind

okay, but it's still short episodes dropping once a week; catching up requires little enough time that 72 hours is ridiculously excessive. I doubt there are more than a tiny handful of people in this thread who aren't watching within 24 hours of premiere, and it's silly to cover the thread in black bars for an additional two days just for their benefit

I dunno how tiresome it would be if Quicksilver his the real quicksilver and we get a sweet slo-mo scene -the following contains spoilers from this episode- as he saves everyone in Westview from whatever SWORD is gonna throw/send at them. I think it was implied he was gonna bomb the town, right? Or does he has a surprise murder-Vision android clone?

Between that and the more real looking TV shows I think it was supposed to show Agatha's house isn't under the effect of Wanda like everything else and is an actual "normal" home

I figured it was to emphasize Wanda's state of mind, that she was finding Agatha's home really creepy and focusing in on even the little details to try and justify it.

Oh, even if it's not referencing that scene, I imagine that's where they're going with it, and it's probably leading to the basically assumed Cumberbatch cameo.

I had already pointed out the hexagon shape in the Doctor Strange movie , but didn't notice the missing book. That's by the way, if I recall correctly, the ancient one's sort of forbidden books that no one should read.. It's probably a coincidence. OR IS IT?

It wasn't a fly? I remember it was a cicada. It was indeed quite weird.

I think anyone expecting them to go back on there being a "villain" at all is going to be disappointed, but I think there's probably more to it than it seems on the surface: The bit before the "commercial" when Wanda talks to the camera, the voice asking her if she "deserves this" is decidedly not Agatha's. We DO see Agatha behind the chair in the end, it wouldn't be that insane to me if she can do magic her voice to be different, but just like when she was in the car with Vision it seems like something you're meant to notice seems a bit off. I would also be really surprised if Wanda is totally absolved of it all.

Go back and listen again I'm pretty sure they just put a filter on Hahn's voice to deepen it.

One thing I really loved* is that when Vision realizes that doing a piece to camera makes zero sense and decides to leave, he starts to rise from the seat outside the truck, but then you see him actually leaving through the roof from the passenger seat inside the truck, as if the pieces to camera were entirely in their own heads almost like flashbacks or something.

* That and Elizabeth Olsen perfectly channeling Julie Bowen!

The reveal: I know some people are annoyed about the possible direction it's going but god drat if that wasn't one of the best ways to do something people were expecting, within the context of the show. I smiled so hard my face almost split in half. "AND I KILLED SPARKY TOO!"

After the ending song, I went and listened to the Munsters theme from which it draws a huge amount of influence. It’s all so much fun!

Re: spoiler policy.

You’re probably right that 3 days is excessive, call it 48 hours from now on.

Actually it is. Someone over at Reddit discovered it's Kathryn Hahn's voice pitch shifted downwards.

Cicadas feature prominently in symbolism for spiritual resurrection and transformation. Might make sense to use it if the theory about her attempting to bring back one of the dark dimension beings.

Thankfully they are seasonal insects over here so you don't have to deal with them all year long.

I was rewatching and noticed that When Monica was snooping around and before Pietro showed up you could heard the cicada. I'm gonna guess it's just for ambience noise, but let's have fun with crazy theories. I'm sadly not very versed in Marvel comics (stopped reading a while, and I had my fave character I loved to read), so...is there any character, besides Loki, that can shapeshift like that? Mephisto can do stuff like that?

Just noticed something about Monica in the newest episode.
When she goes back into Westview, her eyes are blue. Clearly referencing her new powers. In the end credits scene, when she is examining the house her eyes are normal. Until she opens the basement, then they glow the same color as Agatha's powers.
