She hasn't been called that yet but we know it's Monica Rambeau.
it could be there's a mephisto connection in each disney+ show...as a new overarching villain?Is this maphisto in the Loki trailer? Connection to mcu?
Oh okay. I've legit sort of stopped keeping up with casting announcements and such, so I was just a little confused and wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something in the show itself.
I like how seamlessly the show moves from sitcom camera angles into modern dramatic angles. The shows tone turns on a dime and there's this impending sense of doom undercutting it all. It's a great credit to the writers and directors.
Yup, love that you can tell shit is about to go down when you see that slight shift in filming styles
I have a new theory after making that Twilight Zone It's a Good Life joke
What if the ones who got trapped in there unwillingly don't know what happens to you when you get disappeared by her? What if Ralph broke character and either got disappeared or something horrible happened and that's why we never see him and why Agnes is so shook about the neighbor saying something
naw b/c the world still follows her rules when she's not even around. the weird memory loss near the hedges and the world just going about it's business til either Vision or Wanda shows up
When Wanda first paints the stork on the wall, it's an image of a stork on the wall.
When she first hears it making noises and peeks into the room, you can see that the stork is missing from the image. It's a while silhouette where the tip of the beak should be, as though the painting has come alive and walked off the wall.
When the stork then "hides" by standing perfectly in front of the painting, the painting of the stork is back on the wall, alongside the actual stork in front of it.
When Geraldine says "You're pregnant?!", the image of the stork is a white silhouette again.
I have no idea if it means anything. Might legitimately be an error.

the barrier looks either Mysterio tech or just flood lights to make the edge of the reality warping visible so you don't just accidently walk into it
I wouldn't say it's all obvious. For one, people on the internet are looking for it due to the comic source material, as well as attempting to connect the dots for other easter eggs. Also, some people may be connecting dots that are just coincidental. Apparently the real clock radio is missing a 6 and the real toaster has the designs that look like upside down sixes. The choice of those products may be deliberate, but it could just as easily be fans seeing what they want to see.
Another thing is that most of this potential foreshadowing would get lost on casual viewers and likely would only be there for Marvel fans or for people to notice on rewatch after a reveal that Mephisto is there. I don't see the point in hinting a red herring only for comic fans who would also be the most disappointed that he didn't show up after deliberate hinting considering the comic storyline they are taking inspiration from.
I think that either we are getting hints and he'll be involved in some form, or people have been off and he won't, not that Marvel has been teasing Mephisto to then not have him appear. Besides, at this point it wouldn't be a surprise that Wanda is behind it all, especially for causal viewers, since we have been clued into Wanda controlling much of the reality and this episode showing a more sinister side of her. It would be anti-climactic if they are teasing there are other forces at play and the big reveal is that there aren't.
There is no villain.
This is all Wanda.
Shes lost it at some point somewhere during a mission in this town and has locked it up in a pocket universe.
Considering what S.W.O.R.D is in the MCU.
Wanda is the sentient weapon they are investigating right now.

I really enjoyed ep 3 as well, no wonder they showed critics the first 3 episodes instead of just 1 and 2.
We don't know yet. Could not be alive at all, and the vision we see is entirely created by Wanda. He definitely died at the climax of infinity war though.
okay, no one seems to be asking it in this thread so I assumed I missed something that the MCU/comics people here know more than I have.
I used to be super invested but the break in content made me forget some stuff so this is pulling me back in
It put Marvel's Legends for me so a bit random.Wanda to Geraldine after she mentioned Ultron
Loved that Wanda mentioned Pietro gain and I don't know if this happened for anyone else but after I let the whole runtime end after the credits and everything Disney + decided to play Age of Ultron next. Please tell me that was intentional.
The aspect ratio change was one of the best this shit is on moments
Just watching the image widen while on a close up of Wanda was like ohhh fuck... made her scary beyond scary

It has a blue kindof wired look to it. It also kind of reminds me of TV static, which would fit with Wanda constructing a TV sitcom lifestyle.
The blue electrical, techy look makes me think it is from another entity (such as AIM) because I would assume anything she makes would have a red motif (which we see when Monica is thrown out)
Yeah, enjoyed this episode.
I liked 1 and 2, but in more of a curiosity way, and being part of the MCU (and knowing more was to come) meant I stuck with it.
Agree that they should probably have thrown the first 3 out together. It's only after the third that I'm actually hooked rather than just curious (and waiting because I knew it would get into something else). Wonder if people who don't read as much about it online etc... watched the first (and maybe the second) after it popped up on their Disney+ feed and just thought it was something weird and not for them.

I wonder what the last half of the season is going to look like. The budgets for these first 3 episodes can't be too high.
Curious what y'all make of the data here. The show doesn't seem to be making that big of a splash, at least compared to other big tentpole streaming offerings, especially when you take into consideration the mind numbing, record breaking budget that is behind it
Disappointing news. I don't want it to affect the budget of the next shows.
Sounds about like I would expect. Better even? I don't know how good 'top .2%' actually is. WandaVision is a less accessible show than Mando, and doesn't have baby Yoda. It doesn't have the immediate pop-cultural hook that Mando had. So, yeah. I don't know if Falcon and the Winter Soldier will have that either, by the way. Yes, that show will be way more accessible than WandaVision, but I don't see that rising to Mando level hype either.
This is just like all those other useless articles that are written about Netflix ratings that have no basis in reality. They always source a third party that has some magic way of guessing at ratings. Never take these things seriously. Netflix and Disney don't make ratings available to third parties unless they put it out in a press release. There's no "guesswork" to make.
It'll have its views tripled when it's clear what the bigger implications on the MCU are, and that you will "have to see it" to understand The Next Marvel Movie In Cinemas 2021 :p
(honestly though I really think it's a slow but constant and neverending burn and will only make more money over time for D+)
I wonder if the black and white element hurts it with a younger audience?
Anyway after the most recent episode, yeah Wanda is the main "villain" - there's no Mephisto or anything too crazy.
I'm guessing SWORD agents were assigned to discreetly watch her, she had a mental breakdown (which admittedly could have been influenced - AIM?) and somehow brought back Vision. Now she's fighting to keep him and their new life, and the SWORD agents are trapped.

I always kinda wondered just how big of a draw MCU TV would be. I don't think the draw is there as much as it is for Star Wars, and unless they go full Avengers-tier I don't think they can match Mandalorian. I think long term we'll see the MCU skew more towards film, and Star Wars towards TV.
This is what I feel. They were taking a chance with this one
I doubt that. Internationally, the MCU is more popular than Star Wars, and I don't really see all of the Star Wars shows doing as good as Mando either. I think Disney+ will need a steady amount of Marvel, regardless of whether it reaches baby Yoda level hype all the time.
I mean Endgame kind of trashed the most recent big Star Wars film so I really don't know where you're getting that from.
The Sokovian lullaby was so unsettling
I didn't say Marvel had less appeal, just that it had less appeal in this particular medium due to differing expectations and audiences. Unless they're going to be putting their A plots out as shows, which they won't.
They're based on serialised comic books.........
Plus Wandavision is confirmed to tie in directly with Doctor Strange 2 and Spider-Man 3, two of their biggest upcoming films.
