Episode 4 - umm, still recovering..... {Spoiler}the return from the Blip...I'm still chilled.
Captain Rambeau....and losing Maria
Agent Woo!
Dr. Darcy!
Oh, Vision....
Again, I'm both heartbroken for Wanda and terrified....
I can't wait til this series is done and to rewatch it in entirety - and also how it lines up with Dr. Strange 2, as the internet says they're linked {Spoiler} I can't imagine coming back like that and realizing you've lost your only family.
I loved Wu! Such a fun surprise.
I do wonder when and why Darcy decided to go into astrophysics. I guess she got too caught up with Jane and decided she was in too far already. She's still the same snarky character though.
Wanda's storyline (in the comics too) is very tragic. She goes through so much trauma, and then she breaks reality. She doesn't really mean to harm everyone, but she's lost so much she just wants to cling to a happily ever after.
I like how at the end of each of the "Sitcom" episodes, we see something that disrupts her world, and so she has to use magic to fix it, and that's linked somehow to the decade jumps.
I cannot wait for next week

I really liked this episode. The back from the snap was so good. This is so interesting. I really wonder why those cops didn’t know about west view and yet the others could clearly tell it was there. I think Monica is right. It's a radius or personal link thing. It would take too much power to wipe it out of everyone's minds. But for those who would be the most likely to come to the town, it's important to redirect them. Sort of like an anti-Muggle field in HP. It won't keep everyone out, but it keeps out those that she percieves as the likeliest threats.

Hello friends! Just watched the newest episode and I have a theory. {Spoiler} I think this is Wanda coming back from the blip and grieving the loss of Vision by creating a world in which he’s alive and they live happily ever after and have kids and all the stuff they couldn’t do.
I know nothing outside of what’s in the past movies so I could definitely be wrong but that’s the vibe I’m getting.

I absolutely loved it. I’m excited to see where it goes. Is there a timeline for when this is? Vision still seems to have the stone in his head, so is it before Infinity War? {Spoiler} So this is basically all Wanda's brain. She has reality altering powers. With the death of Vision and everything, she basically goes mad with grief and creates her own reality, basically distorting everyone else's reality as well. Vision still has the stone, because that's the Vision in Wanda's memories. lol, I’m slow to the party but I have arrived.

And I was SO happy to see Anya from buffy on there! and kitty forman of course, who is now legit MCU and therefore we are going to see some weird ass that 70s show crossover shit. I totally didn't realize that was Anya! I knew she looked familiar though. See also Brandon’s college girlfriend in 90210.

I know nothing outside of what’s in the past movies so I could definitely be wrong but that’s the vibe I’m getting. Spoilering because of comics details that may or may not matter but JIC: So to piggyback off of this and specifically on the kids part, I read this theory last night. In the comics, Wanda's twins end up being the future Wiccan and Speed. They were conceived with the help of Mephisto (because vision is an android), a demon/devil character who appears throughout the comics. This theory said that there were clues that Mephisto is helping Wanda do all this and I just took that a little further and I wonder if he will be the next Thanos. When I read up a little on what happens in the comics after infinity war I saw something that he was responsible for erasing the knowledge that Peter Parker is Spiderman and is a main villain for Doctor Strange. Now is when I wish I had spent all the time I had read DC on Marvel instead!
tw: extreme heartbreak with children
[/spoiler] [/div]
wtf I don't know how I messed the spoiler up. But I did and I can't fix it. I sorry.

pianolove, that was super interesting. I know none of the comic details but I can totally see how that storyline could tie many of the upcoming MCU projects together.

Also, I just saw a gif set and realized that Woo learned the card trick Scott showed him in Ant-man and The Wasp. Totally missed that when I watched last night.

Just finished episode 4.
It’s very clever how the ratio aspect changes from when it’s reality to when it’s wanda’s sitcom. Very clever.
Also as soon as Agent Woo came on, I recognized him as identity theft Jim Halpert 🤣

Did I miss what happened to the beekeeper? They showed him going in, and her saying no but that was it. It’s going to drive me nuts.

Okay I totally loved episode four. I was very wrong about my theory and apparently Wanda has just gone batshit grief crazy but I was really psyched to see the new perspective and returning characters. Very excited about the remainder of the season now.

Just watched episode 4. I really wish these episodes were an hour each. They are just too short.
Wanda is so powerful and I’m just going to be so heartbroken for her when the reality she has made for her happiness all ends. 😭😭

Also the coming back from the snap scene was chilling. I’m sure it had to be absolutely chaotic and horrifying for anyone who wasn’t a superhero who kind of knew what was going on.

Today's episode is !!!!! {Spoiler}Pietro showing up at the end! I wonder if Wanda brought him over from the parallel universe he's from.
I'm totally on Monica, Darcy, And Jimmy's side here. Captain Dickhead just made it worse.
Agnes is definitely the most aware of all the residents. I wonder just why she seems to know something is up.
I feel really bad for "Norm". Like I guess it's only been a week and a half in reality that they've been trapped there.
Sooo many questions still unanswered.

Wowza to episode 5. {Spoiler}Can't control them, no matter how hard you try Yay 80's? Those kids are adorable Love the person who casts MCU actors So, Monica - wonder what Captain Marvel's scans look like these days. So, why not chit chat about Carol? What the heck about Hayward? Although I love the retargeting scene. Who's the aerospace engineer Monica thinks of? Wanda is scary as hell. Oh, Sparky. Hmm, that name. And the rabbit's name. Taking care of a living thing is a big responsibility. I have what I want. So....now I think Vision is really 'alive'. Maximoff anomaly. BRB - gotta watch all the X-Men movies. Didn't see that coming. Lagos - making a mess you didn't mean to. Fix the dead. Yet rules in life.

I've read some internet thoughts on the Fantastic 4 and cosmic microwave background radiation. Which I did not know was a real thing. The radiation. Not the FF. I know very little about X-Men, really.
And thank you. I don't really have any IRL people to chat about this with.

However, there's still 3 episodes left, so who knows what will happen. And I have a physics background, including some astrophysics, so I knew CMBR was real. It would be interesting if they brought in some of the FF. But H is really hoping they will redo it (again) and do it right this time.

I suppose we're still spoiling? But I liked this paragraph from a review today As usual with WandaVision, episode 5 answered some questions and raised new ones, but the scale of possibilities created by Evan Peters' $71.3 billion appearance is monumental. Luke Skywalker showing up in The Mandalorian made sense without tearing the fictional fabric of reality into confetti; the Quicksilver moment is the equivalent of Kirk and Spock showing up to train Baby Yoda for Starfleet. link

greykitty that article was super helpful in breaking it down for me too. Wow that was quite the episode. I love this show so far! I’m curious about to what extent she has control over the twins since it didn’t seem like she wanted them to grow up faster, etc. I just love Katherine Hahn in this. Why is Monica so bitter sounding toward Captain Marvel? And what’s up with the comments about the blank scans?

Why is Monica so bitter sounding toward Captain Marvel? And what’s up with the comments about the blank scans? I'm guessing because she disappeared for another 30 years after she showed back up? Like she is presumed dead and gone for 6 years. Shows up, and Monica suddenly has her Auntie Carol again. Who then flies off at the end of the movie never to come back until Thanos does his thing. Her mother was sick and dying, and her best friend who was basically a sister to her as no where to be found. It would leave me bitter too. And I'm assuming the scan thing is a precursor to something. How much do you know about Monica Rambeau from the comics?

Is anyone else expecting Reed Richards? I wonder if he’s the aerospace engineer referred to. Or Shuri? Who else is known as a brilliant engineer? Dr Doom?
