They had 8 episodes of build up lolThis episode felt mad rushed. I get the emotions they wanted to portray, but it needed some build up before they try to hit you with it. I felt it a couple of times, but it would've hit harder if it had slowed down some.
I'm disappointed that Tommy and Billy may not continue, though that post credits scene makes it seem like they will, but I don't get it. How could they be trapped somewhere if they no longer exist? I also don't see how Wanda is still keeping Agatha prisoner if she closed the Hex and is on another continent somewhere.
Well, I don't think she knows the other Vision is alive, does she? We don't see Hex Vision tell her.
see, this would have been pretty trite. she committed an atrocity, what the hell is she going to say? "sorry for stealing a few weeks of your life and imprisoning you in your own bodies? my bad"
So wait.... what charges was Hayward arrested on?
Experimenting on a broken robot and trying to stop two deranged witches? Shooting at two The Sims children? He'll be out again in a day.
I will say, they used those 8 episodes to build Agatha up to being one of the more compelling MCU villains, and I hope we see a LOT of her going forward.
Wanda is too much above puny humans now to go to prison. She is a cosmic entity, she is not going to jail, again, unless people stick stuff on her brain to make her stop working.
I don't know if I'll explain myself correctly. I think the actions and feelings of the character makes sense: she did a whoopsie, enslaved an entire town, got desperate to rationalize that the whoopsie was actually a good thing, when she couldn't run from it anymore, she did freed them, but nah, she isn't sticking around to deal with human punishment, she is the legendary scarlet witch, she has better things to do than facing the justice system.
But *the show* tried to convince us she didn't do anything that wrong, hell, she even sacrificed her loved ones "for them", them being the people she enslaved on the first place. That's all kind of yikes.

He really was just the Becky (Roseanne) / uncle Jessie (Full House) / Boner (Family Ties) of the show. 😆
Slap that quote next time you see someone defending drone strikes on civilians"They'll never know what you sacrificed for them" is destined to become some meme shit for any villain that handwaves and stops some of the suffering they've caused just to feel a little better themselves.
So in Doctor Strange 2 are they gonna pull her back from the brink by flying in White-Vision-That's-Vision-Again to reason with her? That's the only explanation for why he didn't like....go to her. There's so many moments that aren't explained or are explained so shittily!
She didn't create WestView intentionally, that was the whole point of the previous episode.The weirdest part to me is that she didn't actually need an entire cast and crew to make vision/her kids.
It's really that one line that sours the entire thing.I liked it for the most part, though that's partially because I didn't get invested into any of the theories going around (Fox multiverse, Dottie, Mephisto).
My only problem is the hand waving of what Wanda did to the people of that town. "They're never know what you sacrificed for them." Really? Fuck off with that line.
i'm excited to see what they do with the idea of "not quite vision"-vision. it's a shame this is a one off series, because this was such a nicer fit for them that the usual movie thing.Olsen and Betanny are fucking great in this. Their final moments are heartbreaking but just so well realized. Their relationship feels fully earned. Interested in seeing where things go next for Wanda. White Vision was able to get his memories, but he doesn't have Hex Vision's Westview memories, with Wanda or their kids, and may be different after his experiences, especially without the Mind Stone. He probably has some philosophical questions to answer.

Yeah, I even looked up a pic of him and Kirk Cameron and then typed it wrong. lol
I agree with this.As far as the broader MCU, seems like we are getting more Skrulls but honestly, this just made me feel like the MCU is in this wheel spin. The fact that they started a plot thread around white vision and had him fly off despite having his memories for Wanda come back to him is absolutely fucking insane.
They really should have cut that whole scene she had in the town square with MonicaIt's really that one line that sours the entire thing.
Her walking away from the empty lot is so good.
Ugh.
It didn't though. What did it rush through? It was almost half the running time of a feature film.
I mean he's white soSo wait.... what charges was Hayward arrested on?

You also seemed to believe that Wanda was going to go crazy and break bad, and would be "wrecking everyone's day and walking off into the sunset with middle fingers up in the air" which I think is definitively a worse way to sabotage the journey of this character dealing with trauma, but hey, opinions and all.
