Hey everyone welcome back to Silver Screen Spectacle! Today we’re continuing our weekly series as we near the end of WandaVision. While this was not my favorite episode overall, I still thought this was really great. While most people seem to have still enjoyed it, this is the first episode since early in the season that people seem disappointed in. Despite my flaws, I think there is more to this episode than people realized, so let’s look into this week’s WandaVison.
So I think one of the first things that threw people off is this episode didn’t commit to a specific sitcom while also not giving us enough big answers immediately after last week. First thing I want to say Elizabeth Olsen better get nominated for an Emmy next year. She is phenomenal in this show, but especially this episode. So in the first scene, Billy says his head hurts but later says Agnes is quiet on the inside. My guess is Billy can hear everyone’s suppressed personality, but because Agnes doesn’t have one, that’s why she’s quiet. I’m glad we wasted little time with Vision finding Darcy and freeing her mind, though I wish they could’ve gotten a little more dialogue together. Wanda is clearly going crazy as she’s losing control of her reality. The house glitching constantly was a nice visual touch to illustrate things.
So I’m more sure than ever I think Hayward has something to do with Ultron with the revelation of Hayward’s sole goal was to bring back Vision. I was initially disappointed in who Monica’s engineer is, but I don’t think the people that dropped it off is the friend she’s been referring to. So the commercial for a depression pill called Nexus has several meanings. While we can take it at face value, there is so much more to it. In Age of Ultron, Nexus was the world internet hub where Jarvis scattered himself to fight Ultron. It also has a connection to the multiverse that I don’t want to spoil the connection. I figured Monica’s vehicle to get into the hex would fail, but I didn’t expect her to go charging in. I loved that scene so much, though. That Monica got her powers through sheer force of will from resisting Wanda’s mind control as she hears the voices of her mom and Captain Marvel gave me chills. Vison and Darcy interacting were funny, but it’s nice that Vision is now finally putting the pieces together. So I think Agnes was trying to stop Vision from returning home, not Wanda.
Now we come to the last eight minutes of this episode, which were by far my favorite. Monica rushing in to help Wanda only for Wanda to immediately lose it and attack Monica was amazing. Also, Wanda just tried to kill Monica she doesn’t know that her powers would save her. I really hope these two have a relationship after this show as I love their brief interactions. So, as expected, Agnes shows up at just the right moment to save Wanda as we set up the biggest scene of the episode. I’m glad Wanda quickly realizes wait where are the kids as the music and tone goes full horror. As she walks down in the basement on Agnes’ words, I felt chills from the stress.
Now we get the biggest moment of the episode that I had long speculated Agnes is actually Agatha Harkness from the comics. She is a witch who usually has been a mentor to Wadna, but clearly they're making her evil here. As she uses her powers to take over Wanda, we get a new opening sequence for the Agatha All Along show showing us she has been manipulating things from the beginning from bringing in Pietro and killing Sparky. My guess is this is to make the twins’ age up to where their powers will have fully matured. We finally got an end credits sequence where Monica opens the way to Agatha’s basement only to get ambushed by “Pietro”.
While not my favorite episode, this might be my favorite ending to any of the episodes yet. So, guys, that’s it for this week’s look into the latest WandaVision. We’ve got two episodes to go and my guess is next week will be a flashback episode. I cannot wait to see how this show ends and I hope it lives up to the hype the show has been building. As always, if you liked the article, give it a share and I’ll see you guy’s next time.
