WandaVision Review Thread
- Thread starter MadLaughter
- Start date
We have a full year of "who even knows who Shang-Chi is" -> $1 Billion BO and "early tweets mean nothing" -> 90 RT ahead of us lol
TBH I can't wait. This shit gives me life and is something I've sorely missed from the past year and a half.
Let's wait for a full season before we make any definitive judgements.
Wow, 95% sitcom in the first half of the show. . . This is going to be weird.
Something, something... Wonder Woman 1984... Lynchian...
Bu but but the early reviews for WW84!!!! HOW COULD YOU TRUST THESE PEOPLE?! /s
Nothing goes over my head
my reflexes are too fast. I would catch it. :)
Its cuz for most shows they just review the first few episodes and call it a day lol
Generally because only a small amount of people review a show and the people that do review are generally the types of people who are more inclined to be fans
WandaVision is definitely one of those shows that is getting a lot more attention than most shows. 80+ reviews SO FAR compared to, say, 24 for The Expanse

I, for one, am very glad I don't have to live in fear of an entire show being spoiled for me on social media after like 12 hours of its debut.
Absolutely. Weekly release is superior. And believe me, I'm an expert.

Too soon to tell. It could fall apart in the other 6 episodes. I suggest holding out for another month or two.

I'm also a fan of the weekly release schedule, though some shows make better use of it than others. When looking at reactions & reviews for Wandavision I saw a few people saying the slow burn nature of it seemed ripe for binging.
In particular it sounds like the 3rd episode is the one that starts to really get the story going. Kinda wish we were getting all 3 tomorrow.

And most spoilers come, like, immediately because of review embargoes.
15 minutes after the show dropped and you already see on YouTube: "Umbrella Academy Season 2 Final Scene" :v
Yeah to both. Hopefully this helps:
Good thing this isnt a Naughty Dog game or Zelda cause there would be poop everywhere.
Disney has these "Legacy" things (I think they're called) on Disney+ that give a summary recap of different characters in the MCU, so if you don't want to watch every movie with those characters to catch up you can get the Cliff Notes.
The movies don't do much emotional heavy lifting. They abbreviate the relationship that leads up to this. What you need to know:
Wanda is a reality-warping "enhanced" human, Vision is a cyborg-ish being (he is a robot that can change the shape and composition of his body). They are superheroes. They fall in love. There is a galactic threat that needs a stone embedded in Vision's head. This stone gives Vision his life. Without it, he dies. The only one who can destroy the stone is Wanda.
The galactic threat arrives. He's about to get the stone from Vision. Wanda is forced to destroy the stone, which kills Vision. She is beside herself. But it turns out that galactic threat has the ability to manipulate time. So he rewinds Vision's death and takes the stone anyway. Wanda has to watch Vision die twice—and live with the fact she killed him and still failed.
Eventually, the galactic threat is defeated. The stones are all destroyed. Vision does not return.

The show picks up from there.
As long as you've seen all the ones Vision and Wanda appear in significantly you're fine. That would be Age of Ultron, Civil War and Infinity War. Or a recap like the Marvel Legacy show they have on D+.
for Wanda and Vision I would argue that Infinity War is an important movie since thats pretty much establishes the 'current situation'
They're definitely a great idea on Disney's part.
I can almost guarantee that my fiancé has 0 memory of Wanda or Vision. And even if she does she probably only remember her as the red magic lady and him as the dude with the yellow stone in his head.
