Maybe I am the dumb consumer but I did like the breather episode to see what's going on the outside world and the fact that the FBI agent is actually doing his job in a way that makes sense. Also, I wonder if this is also to set up more of Secret Invasion because if you were trying to understand human culture their broadcast are a start? I do appreciate they are doing House of M with having to use Mutants though, its very well done. Also seeing dead Vision with that zombie like appearance. yuck.

tsob posted:I presume it's supposed to be part of the sitcom format. Wanda is supposed to be a Sokovian immigrant but talks with a perfectly normal accent too, as another example of people within the world of the sitcom accepting something strange as normal. It's not like the wife in the first was likely to buy Wanda's negligee as a dress in a different style either. The magic show has people accepting a lot of abnormality under the guise of "oh there's an explanation, no matter how thin, so we can accept that". The doctor in episode 3 made no real fuss over Vision running at super speed either. It's just supposed to be something the audience can be in on, but has a thin veneer of acceptability for the people of the show, like Samantha being a witch in Bewitched I'd imagine so they can play around with the differences between what's seen and what's accepted. Also that he saw Wanda at like 4 months pregnant to giving birth in a day.

Everyone posted:I kind of love that if Stark and the other Avengers had just, I don't know, helped Wanda get a GED and let her go to college for a couple of years and experience actual normal life this probably wouldn't have happened. I mean its interesting right: Cap, Tony, Wanda, Banner, Black Widow, and bucky clearly all have unresolved trauma and they'd rather punch their feelings away. But with Wanda, Cap of all people should of known better and got her help.

Alchenar posted:Yeah it's only Chris Evans and Robert Downy Jr who wanted out. The film focusses on them so the story is about letting go and moving on, but everyone else is around in some form. oddly though, Chris Evans left a backdoor for him to show up if he changes his mind. I feel like he just needed a break.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:That’s where Wanda blows up the Embassy and starts the whole Civil War mess Also the commercials are essentially going through Wanda's life events. 1. Stark Industries weapons were used in the Skovian war. 2. Strucker experiments on her giving her powers. 3. She joins Hydra. 4. Lagos kicks off the Civil War. so my two theories are 1. The town is just Wanda's guilt made manifest. 2. If the rumors are true Mephisto needs Wanda to do something for her and is torturing her and Wanda is trying her best to put shine on the situation for the townsfolk.

Other random bits I liked: Jimmy Woo actually trying to "work the problem." Instead of you know trying to kill Wanda. Hex as a nod to her comic powers. Great acting chops at the end by Paul Bettany and Elisabeth Olsen. Elizabeth Hahn's acting and 80s work out gear.

twistedmentat posted:I'd not be surprised if they go for a late 80s sitcom for the next episode, as there is a good differance between the late 80s/early 90s from the early 80s, and then we get 2000s. That and there were so few family sitcoms from the mid 90s to like the mid 2000s.

It seems like they want to bring the popular parts of the previous properties and integrate it into the MCU, a little like Secret Wars. I also think they want to close the book on some of the other movie universes and give Maguire and Garfield better movies to end on.

Desperado Bones posted:Surprisingly we are gonna have a Vulture cameo in the Morbius movie. So they are already establishing that all these other characters are part of the MCU universe (or maybe another universe similar to MCU). I'm just laughing my rear end at knowing that Venom is part of it. All I have is wondering if Sony is allowed to use Thanos' snap in their movies. Disney is just subsidizing Sony at this point it feels like.

Also they should make a Hulk mini-series where he travels the country as Mark Ruffalo. I just made you billions more Mouse. Also also, maybe SWORD hates SHEILD and the Avengers?

A few things I noticed: 1. I think one of the movies in the background is Night of the living dead. 2. When Wanda starts talking to the community watch guy, did anyone notice the person in the plague mask is looking at Wanda the whole time? 3. I think they are playing both sides with Agnes because she is dressed as a witch and has white hair. Much like Emma Caufield's character who was suppose to be the whole center of this or Pietro who feels like he is trying to manipulate her. On the other hand, she was just passing through might also be true as her car is not from NJ.

Spacebump posted:The Simpsons had 1 episode in the 80s. Out of all the decades that could claim it, that's the least likely. Home Improvement would have worked. They could have just done a riff of all the 90s era TGIF family shows. Dinosaurs would have been inspired. Really wish we could have gotten some fake Seinfeld music in the episode. I think the better way to think about this that even something like Home Improvement while in the 90s is still heavily influenced by the family comedies of the 1980s. Malcom in the Middle is the only fairly unique thing in that genre from the mid - 90s to early 2000s. It's why Modern Family is the 2010s because it revived and modernized the family comedy genre.

seaborgium posted:Why a sitcom is easier if you ask "Why not a movie?" Movies end. There's a "Happily Ever After" but that happens off screen and so does it really happen? Sitcoms can go on forever, they can change form, change format, even change characters, but you can keep going. There's been soap operas on the air for 40 years straight with the same storyline and sometimes the same actors. If she doesn't want the happiness to end, it needs to be a TV show not a movie. Also sitcoms play based on the reality that you know, idealized (for the most part) but somewhat familiar. So its reality but just slightly off from real reality.

QuoProQuid posted:I've always viewed the theorizing about a chessmaster controlling everything from the background to be more about absolving Wanda of culpability than about thematic consistency. Having it be "Agnes all along" lets both the show and the broader franchise argue that Wanda was not responsible for the worst aspects of Westview, avoiding uncomfortable questions that might make audiences question her inclusion as a hero in the broader franchise. I dunno man, Both things can be true, Wanda could of started this off in her grief and also be manipulated if people were attracted to her power. Grief is a complex thing that very few people know how to handle.

Also with the reveal that it was Agatha all along!~ I am wondering if Agatha is also under the control of someone else because she is also breaking the 4th wall, kinda implying there is something controlling her too. Also isn't she traditionally a hero? My other theory is that Westview is and is residence are natively supernatural? That is why magic users are drawn there but Agatha isn't from this universe since she is quiet after all. Also, if you haven't seen Modern Family, Elizabeth Olson is doing a great homage to the delivery of Julie Bowen who is the main mom of Modern Family.

Also, Thanos could of wished for INFINITE resources since Infinity Stones are magic anyways but he is a bad person so that is why he picked the other route. Like, I wish they had shown that he was kinda of insane before Titan went under because then his whole motive would of been clearer.

swickles posted:I feelnits disinguine to say the Hilk brought back everyone safely but also Thanos's actions led to more than a 50% death rate. All the stones together confer omniscientents as well as omnipotence, so snapping out birds and bugs probably wasn't an issue. In fact it probably solved a lot of endangered species since the breeding pairs were survived Honestly, the writers should of basically kept it to all sentient life because "half of all life of all species" seems like the ecological devastation is too much. Also, i think they could of explored a little bit that Thanos didn't put himself in the random genocide because he clearly used the stones to survive. I KNOW why he had to from a narrative stand point but it would of been an interesting way to end his quest.

So my guess is the next two episodes are one dealing with the internal fight in Westview, Agathan and then finding out there is some big secret about Westview that Heyward wants and Wanda and Vision fighting SWORD in the last episode. My other off the wall theory is that Agatha is from a dimension that is destroyed or dying and that is how she was able to pull Fox Pietro and is mad that no one helped her saved her universe or something.

I mean Heyward is a manipulative bastard, he shows the video to everyone of Wanda breaking into SWORD and it turns out Whoops she had a relatively civil and clam conversation with him. She didn't break in and steal vision, he made it look that way. And it keeps the troops map and not focused on what he is doing.
