    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I don’t think we’ve begun to see the consequences of what will happen. That’s a feature of MCU storytelling that’s a bug for part of the audience and especially critics. In terms of the show’s end, it’s not like there was anyone in the world remotely powerful enough to stop Wanda. She knew she...

    I think some people are also holding on to Feige’s quote about thinking of the MCU shows as being “six hour movies” a little too literally. I highly doubt he had a stopwatch out when he made that remark.

    I believe they’ve announced that that week will be filled with a behind the scenes type of special.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I’m just a little confused by the idea that the show changed directions. The entirety of the project was scripted before it was shot, and the entirety of the episodes were completed before they were aired. It’s not like a broadcast season from twenty years ago where they’d start making and...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    My expectation for the finale is that it builds towards an unresolved, big event, and ends with Doctor Strange swooping in to see Wanda, where they will then head off to whatever adventure will happen in his film. The only bummer will be that this had been originally timed so that the Strange...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I’ve fast forwarded through all the credits so far and this is the first one I’ve noticed.

    In the end, it didn’t really matter what they called that Lucy episode since they didn’t broadcast the episode titles onscreen during that show’s original run.

    I’m watching Julia Child cook - a 70s episode of French Chef, so it fits with WandaVision’s current time period - but your plan doesn’t sound half bad either :D

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    This reminds me of watching “24” back in the day and always getting excited the one or two times a year the preview would announce that there would be two new episodes next week instead of one, and it wasn’t a finale or anything but just a seemingly random surprise.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    It’s nice to see the content ramping up. Different property and service, but it was a thing of beauty to get three different Star Trek shows on air in the same year. It’s nice to see Disney being able to do the same with their Marvel content. Short seasons work better when there’s a lot of them...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I think especially given the shorter lengths of each episode, had they put them up all at once, the show would have been binged on a Friday, widely spoiled online by Saturday, and would have exited the cultural zeitgeist by Monday. That’s not a reflection on quality of the show itself, but more...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    This show has been tremendously fun to watch with my wife because we watched a ton of old sitcoms together during our courtship. It’s so fun to watch something like this where all the references and callbacks to different shows also bring up memories of us dating. It feels almost as if it could...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    It’s a live studio audience so it’s not canned. (Typically “canned” refers to using a prerecorded laugh track when the program was shot without an audience.) In this case, it’s not just telling the audience to laugh - it’s also an unsettling sign that something is not right with the situations...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    The biggest clue is actually one that’s not part of the show proper, but rather, from the original press release when Disney+ made its debut. The show was announced as leading directly into the forthcoming feature film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” That suggests that this...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    You’re not really supposed to have a clue what’s going on. The last time Vision was seen was in Avengers: Infinity War (set during the year 2018), when Thanos murdered him to take the mind stone (an Infinity Stone that was part of his body). The last time Wanda was seen was in Avengers: Endgame...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    That’s mostly a mystery to us who have followed all the films too. Wanda lives in the year 2023, not the 1950s. Vision is dead. Whatever the reasons or circumstances that brought them together and whatever they’re trying to achieve is a mystery at this point.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    It’ll be nice to have another big ticket show on D+. In hindsight, it’s kind of stunning that we’ve had two seasons of The Mandolorean, a season of Clone Wars, and a Star Wars special before we’ve even gotten one season of any Marvel property.
