WandaVision (2021, Disney+) • Page 12

Episode was absolutely fantastic. I'm loving the mystery being peeled back slowly. The Vision corpse was gnarly too.

 

Tim Burton’s WandaVision

 

Shared my thoughts on this over on YouTube - Spoilers for those concerned:

I'm so happy to have this show. I was concerned about MCU burnout heading into Phase 4 but if they can apply this type of creativity and excitement to the rest of their upcoming slate then they can inject it right into my veins.

 

I mean if the kids are able to survive outside the bubble and aren't just a figment of this illusion, then she essentially just created life on her own.

 

I believe there is a part in the comics where once they were outside of the illusion in the story arc that they were created in, they faded from existence. The current version of them are like reincarnated versions. It's confusing and I probably am not remembering correctly.

Looked it up:
That's only the beginning of a very convoluted origin, however. Long story short, Wanda eventually learns her sons' souls are formed from an aspect of the demon lord Mephisto. After Mephisto reclaims that energy, Wanda and Vision's children are seemingly wiped out of existence and Wanda is made to forget she ever had children. Sadly, those memories are never entirely scrubbed away, which leads to some very dark days for Earth's Mightiest Heroes in 2004's Avengers Disassembled.

The good news is that Wanda and Vision's children weren't destroyed. Rather, their souls are reincarnated in new bodies to be raised by new surrogate parents. Once Billy and Tommy come to grips with their growing powers and their direct connection to the Avengers, their shared superhero destiny truly begins. Both have overcome plenty of adversity already, with Billy facing regular bullying due to his being gay and Tommy becoming an unwitting test subject in a sinister government facility.

 

and if the illusion is shattered and her sons disappear...well...that could very well be the catalyst for a certain multiverse of madness to occurr, couldn't it

 

Very great episode, the other 3 were good but this definitely felt like the first piece of MCU we've gotten since FFH

Can't wait for the rest

 

Considering an erased Endgame post-scene had her seeing Vision's corpse.....she might actually be dragging it around.

 

I really liked Randall Park and Kat Dennings in this. Great duo.

 

Vision's body is robotic right? So he wouldn't be.. decomposing like a human would? Lol

 

Anyone notice that Jimmy did the card trick that he asked Scott about in AMaTW lol He does it when he first meets Monica

 

it's made of Vibranium, so yeah he's not "decomposing" but it's still morbid af that she's animating his lifeless corpse lol

 

i smiled like a dork when i caught that little easter egg.

 

also, with that Vision reveal, i took it as Wanda remembering how she saw Vision for the last time/reality working more of its way back in after her interaction with Geraldine/Monica.

with that said, i am curious to find out if she's really doing a "Weekend at Bernie's" thing with Vision's body or has conjured up some kind of corporeal copy that only exists in this force field.

 

Oh yeah for sure, just makes it a little less gross

 

Can’t remember if we knew Kat Dennings was going to be in this but I squealed when Darcy popped up

 

They actually made me like Darcy and Agent Woo, who were some of my least favorite MCU characters so far.

I still am skeptical that it’s all Wanda’s doing. My theory is that “Ralph”, Agnes’s “husband”, is actually Mephisto and they’re manipulating her.

 

yeah all of the people who have appeared so far were previously announced

 

That dead Vision shot was interesting. I wonder how much we are supposed to read into that.

 

Oh and this takes place before Far From Home then, yeah?

 

As someone who absolutely loved the first 3 episodes, I hated this one. I was hoping this style episode would be later in the season. Keep the show weird.

 

Yea. Like 7 monthsish before it seems

 

I think they didn’t want to risk losing people who wanted some idea what’s going on.

 

Definitely my favorite episode so far
