WandaVision (2021, Disney+) • Page 19

Did anyone notice that Wanda’s old accent was kind of creeping back when she came back out to threaten SWORD? Or was that just me?

Also, if this is Fox Pietro, wouldn’t Strange or Wong show up now to investigate? I have no real knowledge of the comic books but my understanding from the films that their whole thing is defending the earth from different dimensions?

 

yes, it seemed intentional / her losing control

 

This also confirms my belief that Wanda has been using Vision’s dead body as a puppet basically. Like she found out that she couldn’t resurrect Vision after stealing the body, so she gave it enough energy to be alive and sentient but also all he knows is what Wanda basically told him. Also, what we’re seeing isn’t what Vision actually looks but what Wanda wants everyone to see him as, including him and when we saw his corpse talking to her, that’s actually what’s going on and that moment was a slip up in the heat of the moment after she expelled Monica.

 

I saw the accent as Wanda dropping the facade, breaking kayfabe, in order to confront the threat coming from outside of her performance.

 

She’s either putting energy into his corpse to make him function or she has put the mind and energy from someone else into Vision. A mix of both?

 

Oooooooo I didn’t think of that angle, that’s a solid one too.

 

I saw the accent thing as her just not caring anymore about blending in. She developed it to fit in in America, but now she’s making her world instead.

 

It would solve the issue of Vision not remembering anything pre-death

And then her dead brother comes back and she has to deal with his accent lol

 

Wanda has the power of an Infinity Stone coursing through her body so I don’t think it’s surprising she can reanimate Vision, who was originally brought to life by another Infinity Stone.

 

Right but what I’m getting at is that everything he knows is what Wanda infused in him, hence why he has no memory of the past events but knows he has powers plus his appearance is what Wanda is wanting everyone and himself to see using her powers except that moment. So it’s darker than just being reanimated, it’d be like someone digging up their dead partner and pretending in their head that their partner is alive on their terms but in this case... well you get the idea.

 

The Mind Stone gave both of them their power. Hydra was using it (while in Loki's scepter) to experiment on them, and then Ultron took it out of the scepter for his new body.

 

Yeah I know all that, I always forget her powers come from the mind Stone because they’re red and not yellow

 

It would be more logical if her powers come from the reality stone, but whatever.

 

Well given the stuff she’s doing now, yeah lol. When she was just doing telekinesis and messing with people’s heads the mind stone made sense.

 

Talking of the stones, anyone noticed how each of the adverts have been infinity stone themed?

- Toaster having a light in the middle like the mind stone in Vision
- Strucker watch ad mentions making time, just like the time stone
- Hydra soap shaped like the tesseract
- Lagos kitchen towel ad starts with them spilling a red liquid, like the Aether

 

True, maybe the mind-stone unlocked the reality-bending powers that she already contained as a mutant. I scratch my head at the idea that the mind stone single-handedly gave her the powers she currently wields.

 

It seemed like she thought about trying to bring the dog back briefly

 

I don’t think she’s a mutant (and I certainly hope she isn’t, that would be dumb). Could be that infusing someone with the power of an Infinity Stone has unpredictable consequences. I mean the Mind Stone gave Pierre super speed, which doesn’t really have anything to do with “mind” powers. If anything that would be like Time Stone or Space Stone territory.

Also the Space Stone gave Captain Marvel powers that don’t perfectly fit that Stone either. You would have thought her powers would come from like the Power Stone maybe.

 

I'm gonna laugh if instead of Wanda proclaiming "no more mutants", she ends up proclaiming the opposite and creates them in the MCU

 

I think that’s most people’s guesses as to how it’ll happen, right?

 

She’ll need to know of mutants to do that intentionally, though. Maybe she finds out that Pietro is one with his knowledge from the multiverse?

 

no no more mutants

 

IIRC, a book already said the stone awakened something in her.

I don’t think it would be dumb. It would make her more accurate to the source material.

 

Accuracy to the source material isn’t really important at all though. Also there is no “source material” for the MCU, it’s its own universe. You don’t criticize the Ultimate universe for not being accurate to the 616 universe.

 

In every comic universe Wanda is a mutant, though. Why shouldn’t she be a mutant in the MCU? I just don’t see the need to not have her be one. Being a mutant has always been part of her identity. Might as well not make Cyclops, Storm, or Wolverine be mutants if it doesn’t matter.
