Wanda isn't a terrible person, but she certainly did a terrible thing. Going back at least to Civil War, the MCU hasn't shied away from the danger of flawed people possessing such enormous power. Wanda had the equivalent of a psychotic break, but because she's the Scarlet Witch it didn't just...

Just finished watching it. Going in, I was afraid it would be like "Marvel Legends", short little EPK featurettes marketed as a television series. It's definitely on the fluffier side and marketing team approved, but at nearly an hour it's pretty comprehensive about touching on all of the...

New York Times: How the ‘WandaVision’ Creator Brought Her Vision (and Wanda’s) to Life TVLine: WandaVision Team Answers Our Burning Questions About Vision's Fate, a Strange Absence, MIA Darcy and More

WARNING: This post contains spoilers from today's finale of "WandaVision". Do not read if you haven't seen the episode. Jimmy Woo was brought in to track down a missing person. Monica was brought in because of what Jimmy found when he got there. The Vision conjured by Wanda inside the Hex...

Definitely. I think it might work even better a 5.5 hour movie than it did as a weekly release. Cumulatively, it feels like a Marvel Studios feature film. PSA: The rest of this post may contain spoilers about today's episode, so don't read further unless you've already watched it. That's the...

I agree. Mutants haven't been introduced yet, but magic definitely has even though its existence is not widely known. Witches seem to possess an inherent magical ability which can be drawn upon instinctually but can also be developed through practice and study. Some girls seem to be born...

My understanding is that anybody who happened to be within the boundaries of the Hex when Wanda brought it into being got sucked into the scenario. So mostly Westview residents, but also anybody who happened to be driving through the town at the time, or stopped in for a cup of coffee.

This post discusses events from today's episode, so don't read the rest until you've seen the episode. The cold open was set in 1693, so over three centuries! That was probably the biggest revelation/retcon in this episode. It does explain why one of Stark's missiles behaved like Hammer tech...

This is her first appearance in the MCU. In the comics, she was originally introduced in the seventies as a supporting character in the Fantastic Four, as the nanny to the extremely powerful child of Reed Richards and Sue Storm.

She didn't. She believed she was "Geraldine" until certain triggers (temporarily) jarred her memory. And when she mentioned Ultron, it startled Wanda which probably temporarily affected her mind control. As far as I can tell, the only one faking the mind control was "Agnes".

This post discusses events from today's episode, so don't read the rest until you've seen the episode. I thought that was a great tip of the hat, given the identity of its occupant. I liked how her credit sequence was "The Munsters" meets "The Addams Family", as an alternative period...

There's got to be a certain comfort level there for Nia DaCosta having that existing working relationship with Parris coming into Captain Marvel 2, given that she's working with existing casting for her three leads.

Disney+ is dropping a making of documentary special to fill in the one week gap between this show and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier":

I think it will play well as a ~6 hour movie. If the first three episodes don't hook you, stick with it as it becomes much more like an MCU movie starting with episode 4.

Monica Rambeau, daughter of Maria Rambeau. Agent of SWORD. One of the main characters of this show. I think she was 12 in the first Captain Marvel.

This post discusses events from today's episode, so don't read the rest until you've seen the episode. I was a bit surprised they jumped right to "Malcolm in the Middle" as the next sitcom inspiration. While it technically premiered in the twentieth century, it's not a nineties sitcom. And the...

"Stay Tuned" Featurette:

I don't know about all of the exteriors, but Wanda and Vision certainly live on Blondie Street at the Warner Ranch. The exterior of their house is the one that was built to serve as the Griswolds' house in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: They've made modifications to it over the years...

Exactly. And Vision was having a self-aware moment, so his reference point presumably was 2018 technology not 1980s technology. Besides, this isn't actually the eighties, it's somebody's recreation of sitcoms from the eighties. So any period mistakes can be chalked up to the power or powers...

That was my thought, too; the person in Witness Protection Agent Woo was chasing may be really interesting and important, or he could just be the inciting incident that brought Westview to the attention of the authorities, and gave Agent Woo a reason to be at the center of the action.

That was my take, too. In the case of Captain America, Steve Rogers' superhero name was created by FDR's wartime propaganda team. In the case of Iron Man, there was a very clear dilineation between Tony Stark in the armor and Tony Stark out of the armor. But Wanda has always been Wanda in the...

Even though Simmons was playing the same character he played in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Verse, he wasn't playing the same version of the character. All indications were that the J. Jonah Jameson from the end of Far From Home was born and raised in the MCU. Whereas may or may not be playing ...

My guess is that it has to do with Carol not being there for Maria when she was dying of cancer. While Captain Marvel was out there being the savior of all of those planets that didn't have Avengers to rely on, Carol Danvers's best friend was dying alone with nobody there to comfort her. It's...

There is a major reveal at the end of today's episode. I'm going to discuss it later on in this post, so don't read the rest until you've seen the episode. If they stick with the comics, . I agree. Given Wanda's explanation to the twins about the rules governing her powers, I'm not so sure...

I apologize if I ruined anything for you. I was under the assumption that the casting in question was common knowledge, with the caveat that we don't actually know for sure who he's playing. Yes, I kind of wish that she hadn't said anything. It's been inflated into such a big thing that I...

Nah. He has his own series coming up, so it's not like there's a scarcity. I don't think the Fox X-Men universe is going to be the primary source of the MCU X-Men, but I do think there is going to be some crossover. We know they're bringing in Ryan Reynolds's iteration of Deadpool, and I...

Aside from Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark or Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, I can't think of a surprise cameo that would be at that same level of surprise and delight. WandaVision's Kat Dennings Tees Up a Darcy That Has 'Not Been Seen Before'

Interestingly, in the Variety interview embedded below, the topic of the COVID-19 pandemic comes up (at timestamp 5:30). Kevin Feige states that initially the plan was to move on from the Blip pretty quickly and sort of leave it in the rear view mirror. But the COVID-19 pandemic caused Marvel...

HBO Max has been experimenting with a hybrid release model for its original series, somewhere in between the all-at-once model Netflix uses and the weekly release model. The most recent season of "Search Party" dropped three episodes the first week, three episodes the second week, and the...

What is our policy on spoilers for this thread? For broadcast shows, spoiler tags aren't required for an episode once it has aired on the East Coast. For the Star Trek shows on CBS All Access, I've generally waited until the evening after the episode went live to comment without spoiler tags...
