Cicadas are a perfect symbol for Agatha. They're known for living their lives deep underground (spooky cellar), only emerging every 13 years or so (lines up fairly well with the time skips.)So is there a specific reason why Wanda got weirded out by the cicada? I imagine she got weirded out by Señor Scratchy being in the cage because she expected the twins to be playing with him... but what was the weird part about the cicada?
I would love that but I'm not getting my hopes upIf we don't get a FOX quicksilver VFX scene in the next two episodes I'll be disappointed.
I thought the whole bit with the moon rover just made the super secret engineer and Monica look either incompetent or foolish. Hey look at this super tech! "Did we get your specs right", we know anything that goes into the hex changes but let's try anyways.
I'd rather just had Monica approach the hex, put her hand on it, notice she is changing/has powers and then just say "I can do this" and go through 🤷🏽♂️.
Other than that I enjoyed the episode.
Yeah it added nothing really for me. Didn't even look that cool.
Leaked spoiler warningIf we don't get a FOX quicksilver VFX scene in the next two episodes I'll be disappointed.
Don't do this, mark your spoiler as a leak before you spoiler itWellthe leak thread has alluded to this and so far leaks are pretty accurate
The actual point of this scene was that parts of SWORD are not happy with Hayward and are in fact still loyal to Monica and her mother.
IE they are unhappy with the switch from SWORD being a Observe and Response Division and instead being an organization that tries to make Sentient Weapons.
This was all set up in episode 4
Agatha or her boss...So in light of this episode, is Agatha the one snacking on Yo Magic?
Nah. That leak was weak.Leaked spoiler warningthe leak thread has alluded to this and so far leaks are pretty accurate
pretty sure you can hear the bunny purring when Agnes comes down to the basement and faces WandaIs that bunny going to turn into ebony? Or did they replace ebony with a bunny
Her plan was based on data of the hex before Wanda changed it and she had no way to get data on the changes since Hayward threw them out so she had no way of knowing if her plan would work or not but at that point might as well try.They could have cemented that point without tying it to a foolish plan to enter the hex by brute force, which based on all the information they already knew, was destined to fail.

I'm just not all that convinced. I get empathy and heroism and all that, but there should be a limit, and taking a town full of hostages should be well beyond that. I'm not saying that Monica should be trying to kill Wanda or anything, but her focus on Wanda rather than Wanda's victims doesn't come off as very heroic.For me, I think it's a combo of Monica fundamentally being a heroic person, and seeing Wanda as someone she can save, unlike her mother where she was powerless to do anything.
I feel like it would work with a bit more setup. But we don't see much of Monica.I'm just not all that convinced.

They had a rover that was designed to keep cosmic radiation out, a real thing BTW.
Space wants to kill you.
Instead they had a rover designed to deflect to block that all that.
Then it doesn't work and are working through you own grief.
And because of Captain Marvel and you will break
Definitely. It's the answer to the question "Why Westview, New Jersey?"That basement must have been there before this show started, right?
Marvel continuing the NJ hate smhDefinitely. It's the answer to the question "Why Westview, New Jersey?"
In this universe the hex was shown to have the ability to rewrites molecules, unless there was some throwaway line I missed on how this rover was designed to prevent that rewriting, it made them look foolish to try, which again was my original point.
i don't 100% buy it yet. wanda could be subconsciously creating a villain to shield her psyche from the guilt and shame
The shame of what, though? Like she still created the hex herself.
I don't know, I think if Scartlet Witch caused it all because she misses her boyfriend, it might play into a women are too emotional stereotype.i don't 100% buy it yet. wanda could be subconsciously creating a villain to shield her psyche from the guilt and shame
Vision has been the best in this show
Lol at him realizing talking to the cameras is dumb af
Sadly we are due for many deaths tbh :(

The reaction channels got screwed because you can't play music on youtube and that's the reaction money shot of this episode. lol
We see even less of Hayward but he seemed to be concerned about the hostages and even if he's trying to use the situation for his advantage, at lesst he acknowledges the hostages exist. I really don't like the writing for Monica, she's all about Wanda, ignores or excuses the fact she took an entire town hostage, says Hayward would burn Westview to the ground when there's no hint in the show he'd do that. She also acts like Hayward wanting to reactivate Vision is bad but when Wanda does it it's fine? Wanda's actively manipulating Vision, she doesn't use him as a weapon but she's still using him.I feel like it would work with a bit more setup. But we don't see much of Monica.
So just to be sure, am I the only one who thinks that soldier woman wasn't "the aerospace engineer"? Yeah, Monica definetely knew her, but there's been too much teasing for it to be just... that. Like, I'm not expecting Reed Richards like some people were, but at least someone from the comics, if only to justify Teyonah's hype.
LolI like to blame Luis. Scott Lang told him what happened and Luis couldn't keep his mouth shut. lol
Hayward is willing to send a drone strike on a woman and her kids in the middle of a suburban neighborhood and somehow he's the more rational one than the woman who was in the Hex and knows that despite how things appear that she feels Wanda didn't cause or intend her harm.

I feel they covered that the rover wouldn't necessarily work from the very beginning. Darcy only thought that it theoretically would protect her and that there were still things they didn't know and that it would be dangerous for her cells to be rewritten again. Monica was focused and felt it was more important that she tried and risk being rewritten than worry about what would happen to her.Yeah, Monica's motivation was immediately clear to me when she described the grief she felt while being inside the Hex, and combined with the fact that she's smart enough to understand that you can't solve a problem like "Mentally unstable magic user powerful enough to create a pocket reality" with bombs, and her actions make complete sense to me.
I do think most of the SWORD scenes were a bit rushed though. They should've given that place some more time to breathe. Seems a little silly to me that there was zero doubt that the space buggy would work. Just one line of "What do we do if it doesn't work?" or something would have mitigated that.
But despite that being true he's the one who kept pointing out Wanda took thousands of people hostage while Monica doesn't do that at all. Monica comes off as callous by not even acknowledging the hostages...., but Hayward is a straight forward shoot-first-ask-questions-later authoritarian who is also obviously manipulating the situation to his advantage. He's the worst kind of cop!
Monica doesn't know that, she believes it based on her feeling Wanda's grief and a so far unexplained trust in Wanda being a good person. But Wanda in her grief is actually abusing and hurting thousands of people ... that's bad. And other hostages might disagree that Wanda didn't cause any harm.Hayward is willing to send a drone strike on a woman and her kids in the middle of a suburban neighborhood and somehow he's the more rational one than the woman who was in the Hex and knows that despite how things appear that she feels Wanda didn't cause or intend her harm.
