It's like seeing an old friend for the first time in years.
I might wait and see how it pays off. The climax of the show will probably be 'MCU shit', as you put it.
First two episodes were a lot of fun. It's the freshest and most original the MCU has ever been (not that it's hard to be). If two years ago you told me I would be invested in a show about Wanda and Vision I would've scoffed, but here we are. Really intrigued where this is all going, and let's hope the MCU continues on this path in stead of churning out samey stories and movies (with exceptions) all the time
You cant imagine why non-MCU fans might be interested in a show thats doing pitch perfect sitcom pastiches throughout the history of television that has a little mystery attached?
We already know it does. The trailers are enough to tell you that.
But that's not the only thing they're doing. Without any MCU knowledge, the larger mystery will probably not hold any sort of interest to them.
It's not gonna be a "little" mystery by the end.
Yep I was laughing so much. This show is great simply as a sitcom.
Because it looks like the most creatively ambitious thing I've seen from a media conglomerate that seems extremely homogenized, at least as an outsider.
And as a fan of TV in general an off kilter send up of sitcom tropes through the decades appeals to me.
Hot take, I think somehow AIM got a hold of Vision's remains and was doing something with them. AIM loves hiding in plain sight so they picked normal neighborhood. Comicbook shit went down and now they are trapped in there with her. Everyone we saw except Agnes and Geraldine are AIM agents.
The hammering home Vision doesn't know what his job is really sticks with me, just processing stuff

Then go for it! If it looks interesting to you, then you should watch it.
You might need to look up some stuff afterward though.
Pretty intriguing so far; excited to see where they're going with this. Lovely to see Wanda and Vision again too, and Olsen/Bettany seem like they're having a lot of fun with the material.
Also, I love that end credits sequence. A lot of people put a lot of work into something very few people are going to bother to watch.

They did a great job turning something pretty mundane into something really dazzling and hypnotic.
Finished Episode 2. This has to be some Mephisto shit.
Also, Elizabeth Olsen is acting the fuck out of this. I may have been a bit disappointed with her portrayal in the past but she is nailing this. She's acting circles around everyone, even Bettany.

If you already have Disney plus why not try the first episode. It's only 20 minutes
Not enough people are picking up on the Big Red reference.
I'm pretty sure 90% of people at least watched the end credits the first time to see if there was gonna be a scene afterwards, lol.
1 i thought they were going to do stingers
and 2 I thought they would do "On the next episode" thing
MCU movies always have an after credits scene at the end. None so far with this show though.
I'll check it out for sure, hell maybe it'll entice me to watch more MCU stuff I didn't mean to be rude with my first post. Thanks.
Good point, actually! A lot of overworked VFX artists are going to be grateful.
All you need to know is the main women Wanda has magic and the main man Vision is a robot who has magic.
Let us know what you think of the first episode!
Yeah I picked up on that as well. It's like a subtle, or not so subtle depending on how you view it, hint that he could be being used in a nefarious way somehow
Someone brought it, and said it was a reference to the unexploded bomb she and her brother was trapped with.
I wonder if the commercials being all the same dude and lady mean something
Everything that had color before the change at the end of episode two was red. (The helicopter, the blood, the blinking light.) Even Vision's face, lol. Red is a thing.
Probably.
Once you hit the credits you fast foward to see if there are post credits. That's what I always do.
The fly dude was creepy as shit, watching this at 3 AM. Like, the dark undertones are so jarring compared to the pastiche material in this show; I love it.
Red is the prominent color here. Something or someone is pushing for a baby. Sounds like Big Red to me.
He better be wearing this exact outfit if he turns out to be the big bad here.Red is the prominent color here. Something or someone is pushing for a baby. Sounds like Big Red to me.
During the title sequence in episode 2. The billboard says "Welcome to Westview. home: it's where you make it"
No idea what is happening so far but enjoying it.
Were reviews based on three episodes even though there's only two episodes released at the moment? Will avoid them if so

I'd say go for it. If you're worried about potentially having missed important character development and don't wanna bother watching the movies you missed, I think that's what "Marvel Studios Legends" on Disney+ is for. It popped up a week ago and has 2 episodes under 10min, one about Wanda and one about Vision. I haven't checked those out but I can't imagine they'd be anything other than a "catch you up to speed" clip show thing with maybe a bit of added narration.
