Is Wanda's hallucination of seeing Fox-Verse Pietro as a bullet riddled corpse (as her 'real' brother was killed and this Pietro was not) prove that those macabre flashes are a complete figment of her imagination? She is straight up having a grief induced mental breakdown? Personally, I'm invested in this really being the Fox-Verse Pietro and hopefully stick around, so that's the crux of my argument. If I am correct, then her hallucination of Vision as a corpse was also purely psychological and that brings up some interesting questions. Did she steal another universe's Mind Stone to reanimate Vision? Is this even same Vision from the baseline MCU? In her absolute grief did she steal another universe's Vision (as she did Pietro) and that's why he doesn't know what an Avenger is?

Ravel posted:The aerospace engineer could be one of the existing secondary characters who have changed career. Kat Dennings' character didn't have a physics background the last time we saw her. As someone said earlier, it's been more than a decade since her character was introduced in Thor as an intern. Her brush with superhuman hijinks could have caused her change her major and go into super-physics. A decade is plenty of time to get super good at something. As far as her hacking skills, hell, she could have been a script-kiddie when she was a teenager. You can do more than one thing.

I'm going to stake my claim on who the 'villain' is. There is no 'villain'. Wanda is doing all this, but not out of malice. Literally everything Wanda has ever love has been taken from her at no fault of her own. He parents, her homeland, her brother, and the love of her life. She's traumatized and doesn't know how to deal with her grief. She's having a break with reality that could be expected from anyone else with similar experiences. Unlike anyone else, though, Wanda basically has the power of the Gnostic Demiurge and her internal strife is manifesting itself around her in the real world. The resolution will happen when she comes to terms with the losses she has experienced, begins healing, and admits that she is responsible for unintentionally hurting others in her grief. I think that is a much more real and relatable story than "the devil made me do it".

I just caught up with the thread, so here are some of my thoughts: I can't believe how nobody has mentioned Kat Dennings some how made a full body velvet circus costume more revealing than a swimsuit. I am going to toss out another possible villain behind the villain: The Enchantress, who is a classic Thor villain. Magic, mind control and illusion are her whole thing and, as some pointed out, the Evil Basement has Asgardian symbols. Assuming that Evan Peters is playing Fox-verse Quicksilver, nobody has asked the most important question about that character: what cool pop song is going to play during the super-speed scene when he saves the town?.

He's a leading man/action hero/jacked proper Englishman all at once. He's either stabbing vampires or doing historical drama.

I'm going to be moderately controversial and say that I prefer experiencing the MCU in episodic form over films. These are comic books stories and they way they are told lends itself so much better to weekly releases. Each episode advances the plot while also ending on a cliffhanger or big reveal...just like a normal comic book run. I even prefer the episodic release schedule of The Mandalorian over the format of the movie. Star Wars was based on the early Republic Serials like Flash Gordan and Commando Cody. Again, the episodic storytelling format meshes really well with the vibe of Star Wars.

swickles posted:No reason not too. She is immensely talented and from the previous conversation, gives Kat Dennings a run for her money figure wise. She could, and should, still absolutely be a live action Squirrel Girl especially with a Ms. Marvel series coming soon. Since I was the perpetrator of the ‘previous conversation, I will chime in and say Milana Vayntrub is an immense comedic talent. If you can track it down, I recommend watching the short lived, low budget sci-fi comedy webseries she was in, “Other Space”. She was a delight.

Barry Convex posted:so the twins seem to be a central part of whatever Agatha's plan is, right? on top of their mysterious disappearance at the end of last episode, I looked back at episode 5 and she's around both times they age themselves up, first when she's trying to put them to sleep as babies, second after she brings over the doghouse for Sparky. They're also about to age themselves up a third time after she kills Sparky, though Wanda talks them out of doing it. SWORD wants to weaponize a god-like android. Agatha wants to weaponize actual gods.

Mooseontheloose posted:I guess where I come in on the whole Wanda culpability thing is when she she envelopes the town in her grief after getting the deed from Vision, I interpreted it as her not knowing what's she is doing, getting consumed by her grief. I am not saying its right but it is relatable. Anyone whose experienced trauma emotional or otherwise connects to that because the whole world moves around you and stuck and sometimes you can't see what you are doing to other people. I think with Wanda we’re getting into “your mental illness is not your fault but it is your responsibility” territory. It’s not Wanda fault that her life has been a poo poo show of loss and grief, but it is her responsibility to shut down the Hex Dome once she comes to her senses even a little bit.

Did the show end how I wanted it to end? No. Did it end good enough in context of the rest of the show? Not quite, but that’s MCU for you. Am I now fully invested to the internal emotional lives of Wanda and Vision? Hell yes. If Wanda does become a Big Bad then I may be on her side. Well, not on her side, but very sympathetic. Seeing Wanda’s Vision deescalate conflict with Cataract through dialogue, kindness, and earned trust was very on point for the character and I would love to see more conflict resolution like that in the MCU. Paul Bettany is great. Now give me Dr. Doom.

We can’t really blame Bucky for the assassinations he was forced to commit, can we? He was captured by Hydra and put through years of medical experimentation and brainwashed. They would erase his memory and put him on ice for years at a time. He was a victim. He had no control of his actions.
