Pietro reference!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure that's the first time he's been referred to at all since Age of Ultron lmao. Only took 5 years. Also Wanda singing in Sokovian had me 🥺🥺🥺
"Oh, thank god" made me literally lol

great episode. elizabeth olsen is killing it.
also the stork and the rabbit are the same character right? whether that's mephisto or something else

That's what I was thinking too. Maybe this could be the work of Big Red lol
I wonder how self aware the residents are sometimes it seems like they're brainwashed into sitcom characters sometimes it seems they're forced to play a role
It's probably that when Wanda around they're programmed to follow a script with some degree of self awareness but the control loosens when they're not part of the "plot"

Great episode, the last 5 minutes were on fire.
Mega pumped about the Pietro talk in the episode.
Only negatives for me about the episode are that the pregnant part was way too long and that her big belly looked unbelievably fake, like what were they thinking with some of the shots in this multi million dollar production?
Other than that, mega hyped, give me all your sneaky hidden findings in screenshots.

What if it really is an AoS reference. Kevin Feige has mentioned the Marvel Television shows are there for inspiration so they could easily reference it like they do the comic books.
Yeah. They're moving much faster than I had expected. Hopefully they can keep it up for the next three episodes.
Although I think it is on purpose, just like hiding the belly behind a bowl of fruit.
Marvel putting up the Episode OSTs on Spotify and YouTube now.
Give me a 10 hour, vocal-less version of this song you cowards!
On my rewatch I just realised that Geraldine/Monica ate an apple and was then expelled from Wanda's world lol
Considering that they're parodying a 1970's sitcom production, I don't think that's really a nit worth picking. The entirety of the show should feel fake and overexaggerated. I mean outside the Vision House, unlike the previous episode which shot in a neighborhood, this time the neighborhood was represented by a matte-painting in exteriors for example.
It's all TV goofiness and production techniques. I'd overlook that if I were you.
I enjoyed this episode too. It was clear why Winter Soldier was supposed to come out first with a big action movie vibe to hook people in before they get hit with this, but I dont mind this at all.
I wonder this too and to what extent who is in control. I suspect "someone" has made or triggered this sitcom reality in her mind. The people around her know it is not real but are working to continue the illusion because they are working for the side trying to keep her like this for whatever reason (I suspect they want the children? which seems like a Mephisto thing). The only one not scared of Wanda and gives her shit is Dottie or whatever, which lends more credence to the idea that if she isnt Mephisto she is at least in on what is going on.
However when the others are near Wanda, because she wants to believe it, she makes them actually believe it. Hence why Geraldine couldnt remember who she was entirely around Wanda even though she knew about Pietro and knew what she had come there to do (make contact, "wake" her up or break her out?). Wanda herself seems to retain her memories but chooses not to remember them, talking to Geraldine snapped her right out of not only the fantasy but the screen ratio!
I dont know, I get why people have been disappointed but I have been enjoying it. Bringing up how much it cost etc I think demonstrates that maybe some people know a bit too much about what is going on behind the curtain these days. Why not just watch it and enjoy it or not rather than wonder about where the 220 million dollars turn up or whatever?

seems like only Monica is, that's why agnes was talking weird about her not having a house or family
I dont think they are SWORD or I think they would be helping out Geraldine/Monica and trying to get through to Wanda. They seem to be trying very hard to do the exact opposite and trying to turn her and Vision against her in this episode. Hydra? AIM? Mephisto connected folk? All of that? I wouldnt put it past Hydra to want to check up / take control of Wanda in conjunction with some occult shit and AIM would be interested in the data at least!
I hope like theres a weird mix between sitcoms with everything falling down with the last epsidoes. I dont really want 3 episodes or real world with how interesting the sitcom part is for me.
It looks like Monica is SWORD (the necklace) and might have ended up there accidentally (the helicopter in the bushes). Agnes knows she might make try to "wake up" Wanda and doesn't want that to happen because she's got her own plans going. No idea what's up with Herb though. The doctor seems like an ordinary person in "real" Westview who got trapped in the illusion.
My theory (which was probably already mentioned in this huge thread): after the death of Vision, Wanda wanted to escape reality. But she had not developed her reality altering powers yet. She made a deal with Mephisto who promised her he could make her forget about all of it. Vision dying, Pietro dying. She somehow wound up in Westview, which is a real village in the MCU, with real people living there. Wanda uses her new reality warping powers to turn it, and it's inhabitants into her perfect view of American life, based on the (reruns) of American sitcoms she used to watch. Therefore the people of Westview are trapped there. Mephisto somehow wants Wanda to have kids, which she also wanted, but obviously can't have with Vision. (although this might be too sinister for an MCU-show.
Because this is Wanda's way of dealing (or not dealing) with the trauma of losing Vision and Pietro and other things, she suppresses anything that could hint at that in her perfect fantasyworld, though obviously that keeps coming up because it actually happened. And she ejects Geraldine for bringing up Pietro, which she doesn't want to, or can't deal with.
Aside from all this; Olsen was pretty scary when Geraldine mentioned Pietro. This show is so horror lite that it's unsettling at most, but Olsen could be terrifying in a full on, Carrie like horror movie about Wanda. Wow.

Considering the snake in the story is protrayed as the Devil in some versions...it's a possible nod to Mephisto
Man, I am loving this.
I legit thought my stream messed up for a second.
If vision sticks around I hope we can get the sort of whimsical and silly version in the show. I love the serious vision here but I much prefer the one where Bettany can have fun
I don't see that as super speed. He's just phasing toward her. Certainly not in the form of what the show does either. What the show does is completely different.

I think this is absolutely spot on. I've been assuming that the main plot was either about Wanda's breakdown or Wanda's kids... but why not both?
Another solid episode. Awesome to see the MCU debut of the twins. Things are starting to fell really wrong now, I love it
No question that Wanda is somewhat complicit now

That's not super speed, its him phasing through the counter to block Wanda. If he had super speed like he does in this episode, James Rhodes would still have working legs.

They're both fertility symbols, as were the eggs in episode 1.
