The first 3 episodes nearly lost me, I got hooked after that. Then I watched episode 9 and they lost me again. I felt like Ralphie when he finally got his Ovaltine decoder ring.

The fuck ever happened to that subplot about the FBI witness? Did they ever wrap that up?

I’d bet it’s quicksilver and we’ll find out more in dr strange. He’s probably the quicksilver from the X-men universe.
 
I thought the ending was great. Seeing her studying the book while utilizing the astral plane was pretty cool, and a nice nod to what we can expect out of her moving forward.

It's the Scarlet Witch origin story and that's ultimately what this show was all about, setting her up as an immensely powerful being heading into her role in Dr. Strange's Multiverse of Madness.

I know we all get caught up in the fun of the reveals and Easter Eggs, but there was a really good story told here, and I'm glad they didn't muck it up down the stretch by relying too much on one big reveal after the next. This show was about Wanda, plain and simple, and her story was told wonderfully.

Maybe. But I think it just makes sense with the strange movie being about the multiverse. And it would be the perfect opportunity to bring in the X-men from their universe.

I disagree. Whenever we get X-Men into the MCU, I think it's obvious it is going to be will all-new castings.

The last two X-Men movies stunk, so there's no need to shoehorn in these actors and characters that nobody really cares about right now. Sure they could go that route, but I see no reason for them to do so.

Evan Peters was playing Ralph Bohner, but that's the end of the story there as far as I'm concerned. It was cool to see him "playing Quicksilver" in the MCU, but I don't believe it was a set up for anything more than what we've already gotten.

Unless Ralph bohner was his made up witness protection name. Peters quicksilver was a smart ass so that wouldn’t be surprising at all.

They might do another show with Scarlet Witch at some point, but I’d be shocked if they did season 2 of WandaVision.

That's the vibe I got from a recent Feige interview when he was asked about a season 2. He said something along the lines of nothing is impossible but it would be more likely WandaVision characters would appears in other planned shows or new shows entirely rather than a true season 2.

Overall I really enjoyed the show. Loved seeing what was at it's core a Scarlet Witch origin story. I think there were some hopes of even larger repercussions on the MCU as a whole going into the show but I think they were able to accomplish quite a bit. Photon was introduced, seems like some version of Vision is back out in the world now in that all-white body, the seeds for the twins and the Young Avengers have started to be planted and of course we finally got to see the Scarlet Witch. I think this is possibly an Age of Ultron situation to some extent where some of these seeds being planted will be looked back on more fondly after they've fully panned out.

I also agree in that some of the letdowns I've seen are honestly just fan theories that spiraled out of control a bit. I was definitely guilty of over-theorizing what are in hindsight some pretty minimal lines.

Also we got to see Jimmy Woo's close up magic skills in action.
 
This thread, by nature, is a spoiler thread. I don't think people are dumb enough to come in here without having seen whatever the most recent thing to come out.

I was a little drunk last night watching it, so I'm going to give it a re-watch sober tonight. I liked it. I think the crew put a lot of shit in there to make people obsess over. Most people are still staying home alot and have a ton of time on their hands to let their imaginations run wild.

Bettany's joke about acting with someone he'd always dreamed of sent people to all kinds of lengths theorizing who it could be.

I liked it a lot after the slow start. The first few episodes were better on second watch.

What's next? Falcon and WS?

Yes, less than two weeks to Falcon and Winter Soldier
 
This show did a lot of things right, but one thing that definitely did not work was the SWORD Director Hayward character.

Firstly, the MCU has already had too many antagonistic military/government characters in its history, there’s no need to add another one.

Secondly, it was really weird how he seemed fairly normal in his first appearance, and then slowly devolved into being cartoonishly evil, that by the finale he thought it was a good idea to just start open firing at children.

The one-dimensionality of his character is bad enough, but then they didn’t even really do anything with him!

Honestly, I was really hoping that they’d pull that move from the Avengers cartoon and reveal that this guy was secretly Ultron wearing a human suit the whole time.

By the end that was the only thing that would have redeemed this waste of a character.
