that's part of why it's a guess and not something I'm 100% sure of, but I think it makes a certain kind of sense:
1. I'm assuming the big bad here is multiverse-aware, given the title of the Dr. Strange movie this leads into.
2. It's the kind of thing that would be funny to a cosmic level antagonist.
3. It's cleaner story-wise than actually pulling in the Fox X-Men this way.
4. Evan Peters is really good at playing creepy villains and it's too rich that he was Quicksilver to cast him as Mephisto or Nightmare and then not leverage that coincidence.
5. The plot is moving into "the actor behind the curtain has to join the cast in order to keep the charade going longer" phase of this kind of plot.
so, while I'm not 100% sure, I am inclined to believe it's not actually Fox-Pietro... if it is, he's had his mind altered to recognize this Wanda, for one thing, which I suppose isn't a reach for the set up as is.
maybe it is... we'll see I guess, probably next week.
Wanda doesn't want to face her trauma. The shot of zombie Vision is what she knows is true but refuses to accept. She prefers the illusion atm
It seemed implied that she cannot revive the dead, so how Vision is alive is a big question. I liked someones theory that Agnes wanted to use the dogs death as a way to age the kids (as she did when they kept the dog)
Please tell me we're getting a DeBeers commercial about an infinity gem.
Something funny happened and we should have got something about Prieto's death, but instead we got this from Civil War. Maybe is because Wanda is in denial about his demise? Next one will be interesting either being about Prieto or Vision deaths.
What I'm wondering now is that if this is the end of the Coffee Saga, or we haven't met the final form of Dr. Darcy Lewis' thirst yet? 🤔
I love his huge smile as he walks with the coffee. And Darcy is so quick to reach for it she almost snatches it out of his hands.
What's the last thing Ian Mckellens done? I'm pretty sure he's retired. I doubt they'd be able to bring him back as magneto
Also Michael Fassbender is around her age so I doubt using him as magneto would work either

That smile, lol I love Agent Woo
Vision is practically a computer so one could argue that Wanda is just powering him in the same way the mind stone was powering him.
Jimmy Woo is just pure joy. I love the guy.What I'm wondering now is that if this is the end of the Coffee Saga, or we haven't met the final form of Dr. Darcy Lewis' thirst yet? 🤔
You put some good thought into it. I disagree, I think it's too convoluted, but you make some interesting points. Quicksilver also just came up within the last episode (if you ignore the backstory episode four, which is set outside Westview, for the most part). It could just be he's coming now because Wanda has been thinking about him. It'll be fun to see how it plays out, that's for sure!
When the kids ask her if she has a brother she says that her brother is far away, so there is for sure some denial here.
Unless she meant far away as in another universe.
Best episode even without quicksilver. It really shows you why it was so important to commit to the sitcom angle as hard as possible in the first couple episodes. Now when they mess with that it's that much more unsettling.
The argument scene is the easy highlight, it's totally nuts seeing the RANGE of acting Olsen and Bettany are doing each week.
SWORD land remains much less interesting for me, but I'm cool with hopping between the two perspectives going forward. Huge step up from their introduction last week for me!

Holy fucking shit. Every episode is better than the previous one.
This episode was stacked. Multiverse shenanigans lets goooooo

yeah, I mean, I am pushed in this direction because I see the alternative as also being too convoluted, but you might be right. It's much less convoluted if it's only Pietro who gets pulled in and not the wider X-Men cast; perhaps my judgement is tilted because I really want them to start from scratch with Fox characters other than Deadpool.
I'm still not sure how Magneto would fit into this. I know he's her and Pietro's father, but in Character/ Fox Universe, he doesn't know that. Only Fox Pietro knows.
So he can't appear like Pietro, ringing the doorbell with a big "Hello Daughter "duhduhduuuuuuh*".
Someone would have to tell him, and that's an odd position when he's coming to your Universe.

The thing is would they adress the fact that the human torch looks exactly like cap??
What if the climax of the series is Wanda meeting the producer of the MCU, pulled out of the multiverse:
"Hi Wanda, I'm Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios.
And I need you to stop."

CueKevin Feige being mind controlled and cast as the quirky mayor of Westview.
What is this in reference to? I don't remember lavender mentioned in the show. Was it the dish soap scent?
It's possible that after Carol arrived on Earth with Tony, she vouched for SWORD since it was founded by and run by Maria. Alternatively, SWORD could have very well been an established, trusted government organization that the audience just hadn't heard of yet. (The Tony of Iron Man 2 would never have given his body to the government, but the Tony after Civil War would have)
I agree, maybe not out of character if it's herself trying to move past the idea of grief and mourning as fast as possible.
That's a good fucking catch!! That has to be 100% intentional.
Also about Hayward - I don't think he's evil, even though he's of course an asshole and in the wrong to try and kill Wanda the second he sees her. It makes sense of his world view - half the universe was killed by aliens and supernatural powers, so how else would he see anything remotely unnatural but as a threat? He's probably hyper-aware of Wanda specifically because she got her powers from the infinity stones, the very weapons of mass destruction that caused the Blip.
There was also a mention in episode 4, where they at some point in the past 5 years Monica had been gone, changed their focus to AI development - they must have gotten a hold of Vision's body after Infinity War and not Endgame.
Also, does Westview as a town pre-Wanda not have kids? That seems...incorrect. What could have happened to them?
Wait... are they not Magneto's kids in the comics now? I saw a video around the time of Age of Ultron that explained that ut was a big revelation that they're his kids. And I remember one of the Xmen movies at least implied Quicksilver was Magneto's son.
I think whatever just happened may have given her her powers.
Thinking back to the Evan Peters reveal, feels like we've come a long way since this:
Agnes mentioned her husband Ralph usually used on her, and she used on the twin babies.
Agnes was spritzing the babies with Lavender when she was trying to stop them from crying & joked that her husband also used it on her.
Holy shit. I love this take. At this point I wouldn't put anything past Feige and Marvel. They're madmen. Madmen, I say!
Oh right! I was half asleep for the first couple minutes since I set my alarm for 2:59am to watch it lol. Didn't fully wake up until Agnes broke character
I wonder if Falcon and the Winter Soldier is just going to feel so quaint and simple after this lol. They've made this show work so much on the backs of its characters, their journey, and deliberate stylistic choices - not just action. F/WS hopefully meets that bar.
Loki on the other hand has a chance of going pretty wild and weird.
The thing is would they adress the fact that the human torch looks exactly like cap??
They'll address it when they have him and Michael B. Jordan's Torch in a scene together.
Let's hope Marvel completely scrubs that F4 movie from existence.
Wow look at you, you just put into words my first thoughts when I read that post.
