But aren't MCU stans equally insufferable when they attack Scorsese for not worshipping Marvel films?
Any who, the line is definitely not corny. Its good. Period. I say this as someone that finds WV to rarely rise above mediocre.
Yeah.
Chill out with that shit y'all. Not everyone has the ability to stay up until 4AM to watch the latest episode the second it airs. There needs to be at least a 24-hour grace period on that type of shit. I shouldn't have to go blackout on ResetEra for the entire workday on the day an episode airs.
Make your thread "Spoiler discussion for WandaVision episode 8" or something.
But that would defeat the purpose of rushing to be the first to say they've seen it and spoil it for everyone. I bet you're fun at parties. Jerk.
I mean every fan base has its crazy stans. Also I remember you getting all mad about Feige doing Star Wars saying Star Wars was so much better than that. 😆
My bet is that Vision will merge with vision. But either it will work and Vision just no longer trusts Wanda and leaves her.
Or if the personality of white vision is Ultron, that they'll merge and most of vision to override Ultron, but Vision will forget who Wanda is and will again leave Wanda all alone.

I think this is as of right now. The latest season of Expanse came out more recently than the latest season of The Boys, so it's not surprising.
I need to get into that show sometime. Been on my list forever
These shirts Disney is actually selling for Wandavision are TERRIBLE.
They feel like knock-offs you would find an a convention.
They're just a high-rez screenshot on a T-Shirt, and they're charging offical Disney Marvel shirt prices for these.
Holy moley.

I don't want Feige taking over Star Wars, but he can have his one film or whatever. After JJ's bowel movement, the franchise can't sink any lower. I do think he's the absolute wrong choice though, the franchise needs bold visionary filmmakers like Rian Johnson to move the franchise forward. But Disney seems content to wallow in nostalgia. But, that's a separate subject.
Wasn't the Mandalorian merch also bad starting out? Wonder what's up with Dis
That makes more sense, also kinda takes the sails out of WV. Its not like anything else of mainstream note is airing right now, so naturally it should be #1.
I think it's a side effect of them wanting to prevent leaks and spoilers - so they don't have designs ready to go out of the gate. But I dunno why they can't have the designers whip up something nicer and take a few extra days. I guess it's probably gotta go through too many layers of approval and branding vs. just having a screenshot of pre approved content on a shirt so they can meet the demand quicker I guess?
Yeah, the first "The Child" merchandise was just the same. A screenshot on a cup/shirt/whatever.
I imagine it's Disney trying to have material ready for sale while minimizing the risk of leaks.
Why design an amazing Agatha Harkness shirt that could leak weeks ahead of time, when you could just take a still from the show and slap in on the shirt.
It's still terrible though.
MCU stans don't jump at any opportunity to attack Scorsese the way MCU haters do with anything tangentially related to the MCU.
That should tell you that Marvel fans have more of a beef with Scorsese's words than him or his body of work, even if a handful of fans did make it about Scorsese in the moment. Ultimately, Scorsese is NOT seen as the eternal villain of comic book movies in the same way some see comic book movies as the eternal villain of "real" cinema, potentially an opinion held by people like Scorsese himself.
I'd rather have much nicer merch down the line that's worth the price than a screenshot of Agatha in her costume on a generic black-tee with maybe the wandavision logo on it.
I mean that latest T-Shirt is literally just
A screenshot of Wand and Vision's deed
I want "who's the popsicle" with vision as a popsicle on a t shirt
You're missing out on millions Disney

A screenshot and some unverified rumors. Nothing concrete like 6-8.
I think most people would, but I guess there must be a market out there for that dogshit. Maybe they're fighting the knockoff t-shirt market.
That's totally fair.
I feel like the two sides can feed each other sometimes. Like when you hear the more snobbish film types take about the MCU being middling trash, it can lead to fans getting defensive which makes the former go "Gosh, MCU fans can't take criticism... Yadda yadda"
Yeah but, who cares? Let them hate while everyone else enjoys.
Yep, I also feel certain "critics" stoke the flames themselves, like when early impression reviewers called WV "Lynchian."
Just. Stop.
Hex Vision merging with Icy White Vision would be fly as fuck. Probably won't happen but I hope it does.
Seeing as this show has made Vision one of my favorite Avengers (thanks to Bettany's next level acting) I'd love to see a swagged out Vision.

Yeah Vision is by far my favorite MCU Avenger at this point.
You were the one seeming to "both sides" the situation when the whole debate is once again sparked over normie audiences simply enjoying something and then the elitist film snobs coming in to gatekeep and telling them they are enjoying it too much or what they enjoy is actually trash.
It reeks of "they brought it on themselves."
Is it too early to make final episode predictions? going to make a prediction now:
You heard it here first. *Sips tea*
Dottie (YES, my gurl), whoever she is, is from the Kamar-Taj (basing this on the fact that she's continuously been associated with the color yellow and colors matter in WestView,). We've been wondering why a significant anomaly involving chaos magic hasn't gotten Doctor Strange's attention before now but come to find out it did. Only it didn't seem like a big enough issue for his direct involvement, so he sent an underling (Dottie) to investigate. She arrived in Westview around the same time Agatha did, who immediately recognized Dottie as another witch and probably initially suspected her as the one behind all this ("Dottie is the key to everything in this town"), as Dottie is directly using magic to manipulate people around her to fit in Westview ("For the children"), while Wanda in Agatha's mind is clearly a witch but largely clueless. It isn't until the talent show that Agatha realizes that Wanda is responsible for the hex, which is coincidentally when Dottie started getting ignored.
When shit hits the fan in the final episode, Dottie is going to be the reason Dr. Strange gets involved. I predict it's going to happen in one of two ways: She is either going to call for him and he is going to play a role in breaking down the hex after Wanda loses control again. Or, and this is the one I prefer, in the final act of the episode when we think everything is over, Mephisto is going to manifest via Agatha and start absolutely wrecking shop. Just before he finishes off Wanda, Dottie will reveal herself and teleport them out. Fade to black.
Wanda wakes up, with either Vision (no kids), or kids (no Vision), at Kamar-Taj, Doctor Strange standing before her. "Wanda...do you have any idea what you've just unleashed?" dun Dun DUN. The end.

I subsisted on Vision/Scarlet Witch scraps for years, so this show makes me so happy. I really do hope this ends with Vision's resurrection (for real) using his old body and whatever power Wanda now has.
*This week*
Expanase just had its season finale, The Boys wrapped up some time ago.
Let them theories fly y'all!! I don't give a damn how crazy they are lol I just love reading them.
One of those Funkos seems kind of spoilerly in a 1 + 1 = 2 kind of way, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Fair.
I'm just saying that Scorsese, in the past, was asked a question and answered truthfully and got hate. Its not like he was seeking out people on Twitter to shit on them for enjoying such films. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Its only when others are attacking someone else for their opinion that the behavior becomes shitty.
Which makes me think: What happened to Friday after Tony's death?
Something from the 90s.
I do agree that outlets seemed to keep fanning the flames with Scorsese, playing into some kind of narrative of Scorsese hating comic movies for clicks when they were the ones who kept asking him about it, which only made some fans increasingly hostile towards him.
I think we agree that attacking someone for their opinions on entertainment is shitty.
Look, all I want in the finale is this dialogue from this comic spoken on screen by Benedict. That's all I need.
Hopefully with Wong face palming behind him in a "Jesus Stephen, there's a time and place..."
