Hey, guys welcome back to Silver Screen Spectacle and my weekly thoughts on WandaVision. As always, this article will be filled with spoilers, so leave now if you have not watched this week’s episode yet.
Holy crap, this was incredible! This show continues to blow me away in almost every aspect. So we take a break from the sitcom antics this episode and get to see what’s been going on outside Wanda’s bubble. The episode starts with a rather haunting sequence as we see Monica Rambeau return after being dusted five years ago. Far From Home gave us a glimpse at people “blipping” back, but they did it in a comedic context. This was a horror sequence, till now I never contemplated how confused the world must have been after five years. We got a closer look at Sword, which I really loved getting to see, even if it reminded me a bit too much of Sheild. Agent Woo from Ant-Man and the Wasp returns and I adored the minor detail of him doing the close-up magic trick Scott showed him to pull out his card. Kat Dennings Darcy also returns. I like her fine in the first Thor, but she was so much better here. She still had good humor but felt like much more of a character. “The universe created a sitcom starring two Avengers” was easily the funniest line of the episode to me, but anything between Agent Woo and Darcy got a laugh. My theory from Episode 2 about it being Agent Woo on the radio turned out to be correct, but Wanda is editing them out of the real world broadcasts. The Beekeeper turned out to be a Sword agent, and I loved how his tether turned into an old jump rope. I’m not sure what happened to him after Wanda rewound, though. I noticed in the sequence when they're identifying everyone in Wanda’s world that Agnes has no I.D. under her name, lending more credibility to her character also being from the outside.
The best part of this episode though was easily the ending. We see an extended sequence of when Wanda ejected Monica from her reality. The way Wanda was talking and moving was so much like a witch and the closest to full villain mode we’ve seen yet. She fixes the walls to hide things from Vision when the big thing hits us. Wanda looks up at Vision and sees his corpse but walking and talking. He then returns to looking normal. Now, on one hand, this could just be Wanda remembering the sight. However, I don’t think that’s the case. With it being recently revealed that there was an original post-credits scene in Endgame of Wanda with Vision’s corpse. I believe she has reanimated his body ala Pet Sematary and let her mind slip a minute. Now the question is how much control does Vision have. We see him figuring things out normally interrupted by Wanda, but also times he doesn’t act until she tells him to. This is my biggest question now. The way Wanda tells Vision that they can’t leave but that she has everything under control was haunting, as were Vision’s facial expressions. Monica after being ejected reveals the biggest clue so far with the words “its Wanda, it’s all Wanda”. This moment gave me chills down my spine, but I’m so excited to see where they take this story. If Wanda really is going full villain then id brace for a terrible ending for any good guy in this show. I cannot wait for next week, and I hope the episodes get a little longer.
So, guys, that’s it for this week’s WandaVision update. Hope you all enjoyed it. Let me know your thoughts and theories in the comments below and I’ll see you tomorrow.
