Yeah, he was just the person who happened to live next to Wanda.Yeah that's possible. Regardless, I don't think he needs to be anyone important.

The impact of covid on the last episode filming is also something I am interested in. How much had to be changed last minute due to logistical concerns?
While not the only one, still a very accurate statement.Of course there'll be consequences.
Wanda is literally the only character in the MCU who ever faces consequences for her actions.
Same. It's clear that some people in this thread aren't ready for it, what with all the "Monica doesn't even beat up anybody! She just talks about her mom's death!" takes. But I'm glad that we got to see a Marvel story that didn't revolve around action. The lives of these characters are rife with drama (seriously, how many times has Wanda had to see Vision die now?) so I'm glad there's room in the universe for a series that explores that and isn't all fistfights and lasers.![]()
"WandaVision" concludes by giving Martin Scorsese the MCU film he always wanted
The Disney+ series ends with a ho-hum battle, but the real bang has always been in its intense cinematic momentswww.salon.com
I like a lot of what's said here. As much as I love the MCU, I wish we could get more intense character drama like we had in WandaVision. I need time for it to digest, but this is up there with my favorite things that has come from the MCU.
Doctor Strange and the entire Mystic Order, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Spider-Man, Hulk, all the Asgardians on Earth, War-Machine, Nick Fury, etc.
While not the only one, still a very accurate statement.
You don't introduce a concept like "you're prophesized to DESTROY THE WORLD" and then leave it hanging forever.
Given that the events of Wandavision took place over, what, a couple of days at most(?) in a town nobody knew existed any more, it's actually not that surprising that nobody came looking to see what was going on. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Wanda somehow masked the Hex from sorcerers, as well. Perhaps Agatha being a witch was somehow a loophole and the only reason she was even aware of the Hex at all.
I wonder if Monica meeting with Fury will lead to a new Avengers initiative.
Good call. They'll probably continue that story in the new Secret Wars show.

One question I have is if everything the hex created disappears/reverts in the end, how come Monica still has her powers?
Monica will definitely be in Secret Invasion after that scene, could be that Fury's team starts to fork there and we even meet Quake & others.
She got her powers by being exposed to the cosmic radiation of the hex multiple times, not from the effects of the hex's various spells itself.

Darcy explains that. Her repeated travels through the Hex re-wrote her cells at a molecular level. She has superpowers now not because of the Hex, but because of what the Hex did to her body.One question I have is if everything the hex created disappears/reverts in the end, how come Monica still has her powers?
Based on the overall pacing I'd put the overall timeline at between 1-2 weeks.
And it may very well be that Agatha's witchcraft and Wanda's Chao Magic are a different form of magic system than Dr. Strange's sorcery. Even with the more mystical take on Strange's abilities in Infinity War and Endgame Agatha and Wanda are clearly operating their magics in different ways.
If people find that off-putting they better gear up for when Hercules shows up and confirms that every mythology actually exists together.
I think a sequel series exploring White Vision and Wanda's struggle to contain her powers could be interesting.I'm seeing friends on facebook wanting more of this series, but like that's not going to happen. This was like an orgin story, and now that she's aware she isn't going to repeat that control over a whole town.
You, uh, do realise that what happened in Westview wasn't exactly broadcast on TV, right? Unless I'm misremembering, SWORD had the place locked down within a day and Hayward didn't want anyone outside to know what was happening there. His whole elaborate plan was to use Wanda to activate White Vision, then claim to the world that she brought him back online, because it would have been illegal for Hayward to do it himself. That way SWORD gets their own sentient weapon and nobody asks any questions about where they got it.

I bet they change the creator to Nightmare. His realm might be where the kids are.I mean there's definitely not gonna be a "WandaVision Season 2" but I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to continue the arc with another Disney+ series. I'm absolutely not expecting Doctor Strange 2 to resolve everything in Wanda's arc, just to further explain the nature of the Darkhold and her relationship with its creator and to get the kids back.
The reception has been very strong for this show, and not just because it's more MCU. Wouldn't be surprised if a Scarlet Witch and The Vision series gets announced in the next year. But for now bits and pieces of this story will continue in Doctor Strange, Secret Invasion/Captain Marvel 2, Armor Wars and other shows/movies.
I dunno. The only one who would detect it is Doctor Strange, and they can easily explain that away by saying he was busy in the multiverse, captured, or even just aware of the situation and allowed the events to unfold because he looked to the future and identified that this was something that needed to happen (like Endgame). Very easy to hand-wave Strange.The in universe explanation of nobody else showing up was something I tried not to think about from early on. It's completely implausible, but that's the price is shared continuity stories.

I thought the line about the town living her nightmares was a nod.If Wanda was actually dreaming when she accidentally created the Hex I think Nightmare would be involved but I think the Darkhold means this is specifically gonna be more about Chthon attempting to possess her than anything else.
The Darkhold contains knowledge to access the Limbo dimension, I think that's where the kids were calling out to her from

Jimmy didn't detect it, he had a contact in Westview who went dark so he showed up to investigate. After that SWORD showed up and was running the show and keeping it quiet.Jimmy detected it. He called SWORD. If he can, presumably somebody else can. And once SWORD sets up camp, somebody now going to notice *that*.
The scene with the cops implied that there's some local mind trickery afoot that keeps the locals just outside from noticing, yet it doesn't affect Monica of anyone who shows up later.
You can mentally fill in rules to explain these things, or you can just say "it's a show" and get on with enjoying it despite the implausibly.
I never realized that Paul Bettany had a legit superhero bod until this show. Dude is jacked.Vision was the eye candy in this show. The turtleneck dad energy was palpable.

Really no mental fill-in required here. It's not like Winter Soldier where it was kinda weird for Cap to never call any buddies besides Natasha.
By "detect it" I mean he was aware of the field once he arrived. Any other passer by would have as well. The bit with the cops seems to have been an attempt to explain why nobody noticed, except Jimmy did. If he noticed a missing contact, wouldn't relatives of Westview also notice? Wouldn't anyone driving in that road notice? Wouldn't any delivery truck with a stop scheduled notice? There's nothing special about Jimmy versus any of these other people.
And I said it's no big deal, I just turned my mind off about it, until it gets brought up here.
I wonder if they are gonna try to dovetail the fear/hate the WV townspeople currently have for Wanda into why a lot humanity is going to fear/hate mutants, whenever they get to that.
You have to remember that, as Agatha said, the Hex was broken. It wasn't created properly, so there are inherent inconsistencies in its design - such as locals not even being able to see Westview, let alone remember it was there, despite the fact Woo and Monica could see the sign and the town. I assume anyone with any deep connection to the people of Westview can't see it/them or remember it/them, but Woo only had a professional relationship with his witness so he could still see it all.
it's almost like we already forgot that Fury/Talos was forced to go with the fuckin' dorky high schooler that no one likes to save the world because he had no other options
Didn't realize COVID impacted on the filming of the finale, Kat Dennings lack of screen time felt really odd when watching
Add it to the pile."The Westview Incident" is definitely gonna get mentioned a couple of times
Everyone with a personal connection of any sort to Westview had their memories of it altered/wiped. It wasn't until Woo went there did any outsiders know anything wrong had happened and within a day of Monica falling into the hex SWORD set up base there and was presumably covering it up.How many days does this show cover? Seven maybe eight?
No media on site even at the end.
I counted only two from the day Monica entered the Hex to the night that Wanda returned the drone and Fietro appeared when I was tracking a couple weeks ago. I'd have to go back, but I think that the expansion of the Hex is the same night, then when we see Monica trying to enter the Hex is the next day, so I think its like 3 days and 2 nights.How many days does this show cover? Seven maybe eight?
