SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!! BE WARNED!!!!!!
Hey Everyone! Welcome to my first weekly series where I will be discussing my thoughts and theories for the first of the MCU TV shows WandaVision. This is gonna be a casual article with but I hope we can all have fun with it. Let's get into it.
I loved these first two episodes, the style, tone, and humor were all on point. It feels distinctly different while also feeling like it belongs in the universe. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany killed it. This might be the best I have ever seen out of either of them. Kathryn Hahn was also perfectly cast. The MCU has returned and I feel like their creativity has never been stronger.
Now in terms of theories, here are my top five.
1. I think this entire show is Wanda processing her trauma from the end of Phase Three. Her first words to Vision are "My husband and his indestructible head". A funny line that gets much darker when you remember how he was killed.
2. The commercials are much more important than we think. The first commercial of a Stark Toaster was beeping faster and faster like a bomb. Possibly to represent the Stark bomb that killed her family. In episode two it's a Stucker watch AKA Baron Von Strucker, the man who experimented on Wanda and her brother giving them their powers.
3. S.W.O.R.D is trying to reach Wanda but they are not doing this to her. They were briefly introduced in the Post-Credits of Spider-Man Far From Home. With the zoom out to the logo at the end combined with the voice over the radio that I'm pretty sure is Agent Woo from Ant-Man 2. They are trying to rescue Wanda from this reality.
4. Mephisto is coming. I think we may be building to the introduction of a character that is basically the Marvel Comics version of the devil. In episode two we hear the line "the devil is in the details" to which someone responds with "that's not the only place he is". I would write this off as a joke but the character can also be seen in the background of the Loki trailer.
5. For the Children. The creepy line repeated over and over in Episode Two like a cult. In the comics, Wanda's kids were very powerful characters. I believe someone is influencing Wanda from the outside to get her to have kids. It apparently works since we end Episode Two with her pregnant. Also, this is a total shot in the dark but I think the villain may be Kathryn Hahn. She seems more aware of what's going on than everyone else to me.
That's my Top Five theories from the first two episodes of WandaVision. I absolutely loved the show and cannot wait for Episode Three this Friday.
