I thought that the first episode was doing an "i love lucy" parody, which is from the 50's.
I could be wrong though as I've never seen anything more than stills from tv of that era.

You're lucky I wasn't drinking while opening this thread. You and my monitor are lucky!
The first one was the 50's. It was based on i love lucy.
It was based on the Dick Van Dyke Show, which actually began airing in '61.
But it felt like a 50's show, which is really what WndaVision cares about. Malcom in the Middle may have been a 2000's thing but in the mind's eye we remember is being 90's. At least I do.
Has anyone seen the new promo for episode 7?
There is a big tease.

Ah, i forgot that bewitched is the second episode. it blurs together after a while.
It's a little I Love Lucy but it's a lot lot lot Dick Van Dyke show (which I grew up on reruns of). The living room layout is really close to the Petrie family home and there's a DVD gag with an ottoman in the opening credits.
You're right, I just thought that was the second episode, and bewitched as the third. I blame the fact that episodes 1 and 2 were released on the same day, so they blended together in my head.
This is really the heart of it. Decades are arbitrary divisions, each show is just further down the TV evolutionary path. Bewitched and Brady Bunch aren't that far apart in time, but there was a stylistic jump.
I'm not baiting you.
I just saying in a universe where the was an entire hanger that house multiple Helecarriers under the DC area, find a mobile server unit implausible is silly.
Having a sever building gives a) the group a place to plan out of sight, b) place for Darcy to have direct connection to SWORD file without hacking.
It makes sense for Darcy to stay behind instead of hacking across wifi into millitary system in the back of a vehicle.
Getting upset by Hollywood and comic book tropes is silly this far into the MCU. Taking shortcuts in technology logistic to further character and plot in a non hard scifi setting is fine.
I saw it and I'm not entirely convinced. A lot of it seems like logical leaps based on trailer clips, set photos, and previous leaks.
That said, yeah, be safe just in case. I almost consider those leaks to be just more speculation.
I think you are underestimating what it would mean to bring the devil into the story, especially if there is a Faustian bargain involved.
It's not just a matter of an evil force mind controlling her, it's an evil force promising her something, and unwittingly making her tragic circumstances more tragic, potentially even from the consequences of her own actions. How does that take away the potential for storytelling about grief, loss, and tragedy?
Yeah, I think the biggest questions to answer that will allow things to fall into place are not actually related to who Monica is trying to contact, but instead:
- Why does Pietro not look like Pietro? If it is a manifestation of her subconscious, it'd look like ATJ, so apart from Darcy specifically mentioning the recast, there is definitely something going on here.
- To expand on that, why does he know as much as he does? I don't want to get into "someone wearing wrong Pietro's skin" but it he was instantly more aware of everything going on than even Vision.
- Who told Wanda where Vision was? I don't know that this has been brought up as much as it should be. Like, she went to SWORD on a mission to get his body. She knew they were up to something. Someone had to have told her it was there, or did she "feel his lingering presence" re: the Mind Stone?
I'd argue it's furthering plot at the EXPENSE of character, though, which is the larger issue people have with the SWORD stuff. Motivations and skills are murky at best for anyone outside of arguably Monica. The events happening outside, more often than not, are to shuffle pieces on the board to the right spots, rather than growing organically from how those characters would/should be acting.
I am not upset. And I'm not saying you're baiting me, it's more the overall effect when a criticism is tossed out and a bunch of people run to defend it.
I'll just repeat what I said, more briefly-- the quality of the writing of the SWORD stuff is a lot lower than the rest of the show. I've said why, and the hacking is the smallest part of it (just the one that was being talked about most recently). You can agree or not. You can care or not. It's an observation. It doesn't impede my love of the show, or keep me from rewatching each episode as it comes out.
This, although it's not *that* big a detractor. I realize the runtime is short but Monica could acknowledge that Hayward has a point or that she's taking a huge risk.
I really like Teyonoh Parris's acting in this, but she is working hard to sell some weak material. And it's skipping ahead, but I can't wait to see her in an MCU Nextwave. :)
If I had to guess, it's the biggest source of bullshit fake trailers that people keep passing around: Screen Culture.
There are only 3 characters at that point in the story that they could have given the organic ability of knowing how to hack to get important hidden information. They have Monica, who needs to be meeting her engineer to get in the Hex, an FBI agent, and a science expert.
I think it's probably fine they give that ability to Darcy, because the alternative is our heroes trying to get the files out of the computer the easy way
She does have the advantage of being on-site of the server she's trying to access. It's really hard to block someone who has physical server access.There are only 3 characters at that point in the story that they could have given the organic ability of knowing how to hack to get important hidden information.

A funko pop of pietro in his Halloween costume got announced today, but if you look at the box image of it, it potentially has a spoiler on it, just a warning.
Link please. Saw the pop but didn't see the box.
EDIT:
OH NEVER MIND I SAW IT.
Very interesting.
Not potential about that, that is VERY much a spoiler.
Damn Funko leaks everything.
The problem with Wanda being entirely at fault is that she's then guilty of brainwashing an entire town into playing out her sitcom fantasy with Vision's corpse against their will, with the potential threat of spreading her Hex further outward. Unless she's completely insane she's crossed the Moral Event Horizon, one that justifies throwing her into the Raft for the rest of her life and in turn validates everything Hayward's doing. She is at this point a straight-up villain, so having her skip out punishment to rehab with Dr. Strange is going to throw a lot of people off.
Hackneyed as it may be, there needs to be some kind of secret mastermind manipulating her against her own will to keep her anywhere in the ballpark of redeemable.
DM me a link? I'm at work so I can't Google fu right now.
Right! She became an Astro physicist.....she was busy the last decade
Here's the POP Figure box, I've hid it behind spoilers.
It may be nothing, it maybe everything.
It may be nothing, it maybe everything.
I'd like a DM too. I can't seem to find the box, just the pop itself.
EDIT - Nevermind, posted above, thanks!
Strange is probably the only one in the MCU who has some capacity to keep her under control. Maybe he is putting her in the mirror dimension. With her insane power, she could very well be the next big bad in the MCU. Wanda doesn't need to be redeemable.
Does anybody have an CLEAN shots of Billy and Tommy's room? I feel like that would be a great place for the Wandavision Team to place easter eggs.
Well, for my post to mean something, the person has to see the Pop figure O_o....
I don't have to imagine it. ScreenCrush is probably making a KILLING.
Well there is Minecraft during the DDR sequence. If that means anything . A creeper to be more specific.
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW
