I loved how at the first transition from inside to outside the Hex it slowly drew the aspect letterboxing in to make you aware of it, then it just popped in/out every time it switched settings. And then near the end when Wanda went into the basement and met Agatha for real, it slowly drew the letterboxing in again.

The mind stone persistent outside the Hex and it's likely that it's reconstituted in some way. I honestly hope they bring back the stones because some characters like Strange sorta suck without their stones and the writers did say they still exists but are just scattered as atoms. Wanda seems perfectly capable of bringing atoms back together BurritoJustice fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Feb 20, 2021 |

man, the humor of this episode did not click with me at all. also the reveal was kinda lost on me since i don't know that character, but they did it in a fun enough way to be entertaining. i was ready to be very disappointed we were apparently already done with evan peters but thankfully people mentioned the post credits scene. hope he's still quicksilver and it ties into the other dimension stuff.

I honestly hope they bring back the stones because some characters like Strange sorta suck without their stones and the writers did say they still exists but are just scattered as atoms. I like it, it gave me some thoughts: Maybe this whole show is about the infinity stone atoms coalescing together again at the nexus of all realities focused on Wanda as she, Vision and Pietro were all affected by the stones. The infinity stones were born from the birth of the universe and this hex nexus is a new source of CMBR. Wanda is the nexus of the reality stone so she is now able to warp reality with her red power, before she only had telepathy and telekinesis. Vision is the nexus of the Mind Stone so he is now able to free peoples minds from being controlled, before that he only had flight, head beams, super strength and phasing. Monica is the nexus of the Space stone, after travelling through the barrier and gaining her power she sees electromagnetic energy fields along with space and stars in the sky with her new Spectrum space sight. Agatha is the nexus of the Power stone, she is trying to control Wanda to learn resurrection after learning of Vision. Mephisto is the nexus of the Soul stone, Wanda made a deal with him that results in Vision not being soulless and dead in her pocket universe and her children are given souls by Mephisto. His grimore in the basement exudes an orange light. Agatha wants to find his secrets so she can resurrect somebody. EDIT: Another thought, maybe it turns out Red Skull was Mephisto and that's why he was the guardian of the Soul stone. The Time stone coalescing is maybe responsible for the time skipping happening within the hex nexus. Dr. Strange gets wind of this situation and becomes the nexus of the Time stone when he shows up. Maybe it turns out FBI agent Jimmy Woo is Wong's nephew and he's actually a sorcerer and he becomes the nexus of the Time stone, his little magic trick becoming foreshadowing rather than character development. I'm probably way off but boy it's fun to speculate! Also I wonder if the joke about the mole is related to witches' marks. Xachariah fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Feb 20, 2021 |

Me and the people I was watching with had to look Agatha up and even after we did it was a real 'ok, so what?' reaction. I have to think this must be the intended reaction though. Surely the average person knows gently caress all about this character the history of what they've been in on wikipedia makes them seem like a total nobody. Agatha is also close enough to Agnes that it look a bit for me to realise they were even saying she was actually someone else lol

The pacing and joke delivery felt too slow to be a Modern Family or The Office, and they should've used more hand-held cameras for the fake documentary look. Is it possible that "Ralph" is Hayward? And he recruited Agatha to help with his missing Vision problem?

The premise of Dr. Strange 2, according to Wikipedia: -Spoilers, I guess? I don't know, it's too vague and we haven't even got a teaser- After the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019) and WandaVision (2021),Dr. Stephen Strange's continuing research on the Time Stone is hindered by a friend-turned-enemy, resulting in Strange unleashing unspeakable evil. Considering what is slowly happening in Wandavision and that premise, it leaves you with a lot of questions. It doesn't sound as Strange is looking for a lost stone. So the theory of the infinity stones being brought back is starting to sound more plausible.

Lammasu posted:Until this episode I never really realized how traumatized Wanda is. She had to kill the love of her life to save the universe, then had him resurrected and killed in front of her. I'd always thought, and someone else posted it as well so I know it's not just me, that she looked the tiniest bit relieved while she was being Snapped.

The music was also fairly off for the genre they were trying to parody. Modern Family and the Office only really ever has music if it's organic to the environment that they're in, there's no backing score for the most part, whereas this had a pretty obvious score that changed with the beats of the plot. The cameras weren't too far off modern family though, their camera work is a lot more traditional / stationary than the Office. There were bits around the circus scenes in particular that easily could have come straight out of a modern family episode.

Technically it would have been 5 years since the MCU’s universe last saw the stones in one piece. All the stones in Endgame came from other timelines.

The power of the stones was also used again on Earth five years after their destruction which might be the catalyst for bringing them back together.

I'm just so tired of all these infinity stones. Well, I actually always loved them in the comics and it was always awesome when they would show up and Hickman's Infinity and the MCU movies were great recent infinity stone romps. But despite being part of the fundamental fabric of the universe or whatever, it's also nice that they stay lost or put away for years at a time and no one really thinks about them. Maybe they'd like to tie up loose ends about the current state of the stones but it seems kind of weird to me to have them persistently "powering" different people's abilities.

Ror posted:I'm just so tired of all these infinity stones. Well it would be kind of a neat way to have the stones back but not in such a state that someone could just gather them up again, bedazzle a gauntlet, snap their fingers and make a wish. Been there done that. The essence of the stones remains so the universe doesn't go into a black smoke trail or whatever the Ancient One implied would happen if they weren't there, and the writers can move on to other MacGuffins.

Ror posted:I'm just so tired of all these infinity stones. It would be tiresome if the Stones returned as physical objects, yes. But if their essential energy cannot be created or destroyed, and is now becoming incarnate in people because it has to go somewhere, then that's different and interesting.
