The SWORD director guy is totally suspicious, I get bad vibes off of him.
I say it every week but episode 5 was SO good.

I’m basically dying for another one. I was also very 👀 at the captain marvel references. I also thought it was pretty smart to build an 80s-compatible drone and was super happy with the era-appropriate joystick to fly it lol. I’m glad they didn’t build an 80s drone to then fly it with Fitz-level tech.

I’m glad they didn’t build an 80s drone to then fly it with Fitz-level tech. For sure. I think it had to be entirely 80s tech to not be rewritten upon entry.

Yeah I just really appreciate the level of detail that goes into this show. They (SFX, props dept) could have easily gone high tech to show off and explained it away but they didn’t. Like the Lagos commercial. “When you make a mess that you didn’t mean to.” Another glimpse into Wanda’s psyche and what is still eating at her.

Side note, I had to remind H about what Lagos was after the commercial, even though they mentioned it earlier in the show.

There's an awkward amount of people that are horny for Vis on tumblr. I guess Paul Bettany isn't bad to look at, but DNW purple robot

Seemingly very trustworthy, empathic, dedicated, just what you'd want in a public servant or military organization - and be fooled by. Then I second guessed myself.

Caveat - I grew up on DC comics. Vague recollection of the Fantastic Four and Bill Bixby's The Incredible Hulk, but otherwise all was new to me. And, yeah, never ever took Robert Redford for a villain. And it took a while for me to think about how the young Redford kind of resembles Steve Rogers/Chris Evans in a way....let's say if I were a brainwashed, tortured POW/assassin. Also, legitimately gasped when Redford showed up in Endgame - was amazed he came out of retirement. Go Russo Brothers! LOL

greykitty I know nothing of the comics, I have only seen movies and show stuff. So I appreciate any context I can get!

Hmm, almost all my Captain America knowledge came from Stucky fanfiction. I mean, I like Peggy Carter as a character and all that, but, gosh, Stucky forever over here.
So I also appreciate all the various episode guides, etc., that pop up after every WandaVision episode!
Needed that for the Mandalorian too. I knew Yoda, and Luke Skywalker looked familiar, but all the fine points were beyond me.
ETA - at least I was ahead of the friend I saw Endgame with. She leaned over and whispered when was Wonder Woman going to show up. Half the row whispered back wrong universe.
Geez, seeing a movie at the theater. Still remember the roar of applause for Cap and Mjölnir.

Ok so. Comics talk ahead. I didn’t realize that Evan peters played quicksilver in X-men, and I also didn’t know he and Wanda were actually mutants. AND I just found out that Wanda is fricking magnetos daughter?? Im dying to know if this is following the Mephisto arc or house of m or both and how it’s going to set up phase 4.

They are mutants. But not in this universe? Or maybe they will determine that the stone just activated their X-genes? IDK how they will do it. I think they will probably keep the storyline of them getting their powers from the stone and their parents being dead, and not being mutants in the original verse from the MCU, and maybe have alternate versions of themselves being Magento's kids. I honestly was hoping for some vague references to their mutant father in Ultron, but that didn't happen at all. I know there were screen rights to worry about, but like a nod to us fans that we know what's up would have been cool. I've been a Scarlet Witch fan ever since her character showed up in X-men Evolution, so I'm well versed in her backstory. Lol

The Quicksilver-Wanda crossover is something I read up on like 2-3 years ago after watching an Xmen movie. So I got it in the moment and was able to explain it to my mom. It's funny to be proud of yourself for Googling something years ago instead of having to Google it now, but here I am.

They are initially bad guys in his Brotherhood of Mutants. Though they are only in because he's their dad. Just like in Ultron, they do eventually switch to being heroes. PS I also appreciate Darcy's use of Hex (even though she's referring to the shape of the anomaly around Westview) because Scarlet Witch's abilities are called hexes in the comics

Also, if anyone is interested, House of M is available on kindle free through prime reading. I just downloaded it this morning and I’ll probably be ignoring my kids today to read it

I feel bad for vision. Was he coming apart because he’s only alive in westview or because her pull was so strong and he couldn’t fully get through the wall.

I'm still thinking there may be another entity in charge of some of this. Wanda had no idea that Vision was leaving until Billy said something. Pietro mentioned Shangri-La. I was wondering if that was a specific mention, as there is a Shangri-La in the comics. But it could also just reference Wanda's perfect little world.

I’m still over here fangirling for hacker!darcy. #fydl
I did find it interesting that Pietro wouldn’t answer Wanda’s question about their parents, and then told yeah “mom and dad would be proud,” when talking about the hex. Could be applicable for both situations of orphans or children of magneto.
Ok my phone is pissing me off, I used to be able to move the cursor to fix typos and now it goes wherever the f it wants. Yeah=her
