WandaVision (2021, Disney+) • Page 11

Endgame has better moments, but IW is the better film overall. By a long distance.

 

Been really enjoying this, and excited to see how it shakes out. I almost feel like 30 minute episodes are way too short, but it keeps everything moving at a great pace. Everyone is really giving it their all though, makes me excited to see Paul get to show some comedic range.

My fiance is really really enjoying this and the "???" factor that this show brings, so I suggested that we watch Legion and she's LOVING it. She's constantly on the edge of her seat. I sound like a broken record bringing up Legion again, but I think the two of the shows are good companion pieces for people who enjoy the more abstract types of stories. I would be interested to see Legion as the "villain" for S2 of a Wanda-centric show, if they bring in the X-men.

 

I think of Infinity War as a perfectly orchestrated opera; and of Endgame as a long, sloppy but great jamming session.

 

I loved the first season of Legion, but never watched the other 2 seasons. Need to get on that after I’ve finished the last season of Jessica Jones and AOS (both of which I have been holding off from watching because I don’t want them to be over )

 

So both Paul Bettany and Teyonah Parris have been hinting that episode 4 is a turning point for the show.

 

Makes sense considering the shift to outside world and Vision being suspicious of what is happening and of the town's people.

 

Herb's dead-eyed stare as he hedge trimmed Vision's brick fence got a big laugh in our house.

 

This episode is exactly what I wanted and exactly what I thought we'd get

 

Man I love this show

 

Guess this confirms that Vision is still dead
Also glad we got a serious reaction from the blip instead of making it a comedy in FFH

 

I think that was my favorite ep so far. It was refreshing to get a that outside perspective for sure.

 

That was great. So the whole thing is just Wanda living in a bubble disconnected from reality? She’s for sure going to create the multiverse from this huh? Or is this already a multiverse?

 

Endgame already confirmed there is a multiverse

 

this is basically what i assumed the plot would be going in

 

can we talk about how Wanda has been living with/had children with Vision's reanimated corpse lol

 

My first thought was she was just imagining him, but it would be fucking gnarly if she actually had his dead body.

 

Yeah I mean it seems like that's what is happening. That's why they can't leave the town. He's only "alive" inside the illusion. His lifelelss corpse with a hole in the head is walking around but everyone else sees and hears him as if he's alive.

 

Would be more fucked up if the neighbors saw the lifeless corpse hah

 

It did? What am I missing haha

 

every time they time traveled and changed something they created alternate universes

 

Wasn’t Hulk’s big speech though that no matter what you do in the past the future is always the same? I really need to go back and watch it I don’t remember shit.

 

Your own individual future that you came from is always the same. As in, Back to the Future logic doesn't apply in the real world, it physically can't happen that way. You can't travel back in time, change something, and go back to your own future and see the effects of it. If you change something in the past it creates an alternate universe/timeline, but when you return to your own time it will be the same as when you left it.

The best way to think about "time travel" in Endgame is that it is both "time travel" and "inter-multiverse travel". When they return to the "present", they are both travelling through time and back to their original universe.

 

Wanda isn't going to "create" the multiverse, she's probably going to, like, cause some kind of multiverse crisis where the barriers between universes are breaking down or multiple universes are converging into one or something like that. She's going to "break" the multiverse.

 

So if that’s how the multiverse works, how do we wind up with Evan Peters or Tobey Maguire playing different versions of people we already know? Brain is pretzeling hard this morning.

 

I mean, the multiverse has also always existed even before Endgame. Like there's a world where the conditions to create the X-Men series just happened on its own. People have got this weird fixation on the multiverse being something that was only just created now because of the Doctor Strange 2 subtitle. The original Marvel comics is Earth-616. The MCU is Earth-199999. The Fox X-Men universe is Earth-10005. There's always been a Marvel multiverse.
