![]() If this show is any indication of future offerings on Disney+, we have a long future of MCU television to enjoy.Marvel’s WandaVision is finally bringing us all back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe - here is a collection of the best quotes from this Disney+ series! But using a season of television instead of a movie to tell a contained story opens up all kinds of opportunities, and the creators of “WandaVision” explored those opportunities with incredible success. Wanda’s story goes from here to a role in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. From what I understand, there are no plans for a season two. It plays with a unique medium, the “limited-run” series. WandaVision represents a new frontier for the MCU which, like Star Wars, will now tell stories on both the big and small screens. After the first two episodes people had so many questions! But the mystery pulled us in, launched thousands of theories, and kept me off Twitter on Fridays until I got a chance to watch the episode. I have said before that I love when a studio is willing to take a risk. Sure, it’s a fake family created by magic in a pocket reality, but no family is perfect.įrom Mephisto-spawn to real deal superheroes! Because “WandaVision” has fundamentally been a show about family. Nor, in retrospect, was it going to involve Doctor Strange showing up to save the day. Of course this episode wasn’t going to get bogged down in parsing the existence of mutants in the MCU. For now, she loses Vision again on her own terms. ![]() But alas, it was not to be – at least, not this time. I will be the first to admit I wanted to find a way for Vision and White Vision to merge so the two of them could have a happy ending. But now she is confident of herself, having stepped into her identity as the Scarlet Witch and having Vision alongside her, even if just for a few more moments, to help her process that grief. But of course, this means her sons and Vision, her Vision, will vanish as well. ![]() When she realizes that maintaining the Hex would mean mentally torturing Westview’s residents, Wanda knows she has to release the spell. “We have said goodbye before, so it stands to reason-” he says, before she finishes, “we will say hello again.” ![]() Having received it, he returns it to her. He looks to Wanda, the woman he loves, for reassurance. He is, after all, the most advanced computer in the world. Of course, being Vision, he knows the answer in the sense that he has the information. The two of them engaging in combat would be like a computer playing tic tac toe against itself, and that movie already exists.īefore he vanishes with the rest of the hex, Vision asks Wanda “What am I?” Even in his final moments, he searches for understanding. In many way, a logical discussion is really the most fitting way for a fight between two Visions to end. He isn’t the same Vision that was killed by Thanos, but neither is the reanimated vibranium shell he fights. Westview’s Vision identity is even more confusing. He wasn’t born, he was made out of many disparate parts, and he wants to understand what he is. I’ve said many times before that Vision’s story is defined by his quest for identity. So it only makes sense that the series finale focused on those same three themes. “WandaVision” was primarily a show about three things: grief, family, and identity. Because now that we have talked about what this episode wasn’t, let’s talk about: Having seen the finale, I’m glad they were wrong. Before we continue, I can’t emphasize this enough, I participated in those theories. Most of all, people speculated that WandaVision would provide a back door for introducing Reed Richards or mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and they were wrong. The internet was flooded with theories about everything from the cameo teased by Paul Bettany (Ian McKellan? Michael Fassbender? Benedict Cumberbatch? Nope, Paul Bettany) to the identity of Mephisto (Dottie? Agnes? Ralph? Señor Scratchy? Nope, no one). Of course, as the show continued the theories became more complex. Remember who suggested that Vision’s company in Westview was a front for his computer brain to do complex calculations for SWORD and its sketchy plans? This guy. ![]() And I will say that, I unabashedly participated in these theories. The strange dinner party scene, the beekeeper, the voice on the radio, and the SWORD logo sent the internet deep into the Marvel lore to find anything that could possibly be related to the strange world that had so captivated our attention. Funny thing about the title, it also describes what happened to my interest.įrom its first two episodes, “WandaVision” invited theories of every kind. ![]()
