Wasn't Falcon & Winter Soldier supposed to be the first MCU show on D+? Then that whole Covid thing (remember that?) happened and delayed their production. I think it was harder to finish that than WV, so WV become the first one. Falcon & Winter Soldier should be much more typical MCU content.

That is correct.

I’m normally someone who likes the week to week model for shows, but I think this might be a case where this show may have worked better as a binge watch.

It’s interesting, but yet also just very odd and out there. Not a lot makes sense about it in terms of the plot, why every episode is a different era of television, etc. I’m sure eventually things will fall into place, but as is these episodes standing alone feel bizarre.

Not to say that it’s not entertaining or that it’s poorly made or acted. Just not sure what to think of it at this point.

OldBoy

who would be the father of Wanda's babies?

Jay G.

Vision's the father. Do you need the opening of episode 2 and what they were doing under the covers explained to you?

OldBoy

No, but Vision is an Android with no human parts, thus no systems, including reproductive organs, thus no sperm to fertilize a human woman persons’ egg. Do you need that explained to you?

I'm waiting for the "Married with Children" style episode. I know it's not happening, but it would have been great.

Toddarino

I’m going to go out on a limb and say not everything is as it seems on this show.

The Questyen

She's a witch who can will anything into existence.

Based on the trailer, upcoming homages look to be Family Ties, Full House, Roseanne, Sabrina, Modern Family. I had heard Malcolm in the Middle, The Office, Parks & Rec referenced too, but I don't know if that will be apparent, or just an example of the type of single camera style.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, Marvel Comics was pulling all kinds of shit like that with the properties Fox held the rights to, like canceling the Fantastic Four title, and trying to replace the X-Men and mutants with Inhumans.

OldBoy

right? So the babies aren’t real, just conjured, but not material. Her powers fade...

OldBoy

But, if fake babies, then sure Vision could be daddy.

Big Boy Laroux

So technically, Vision is a "synthezoid", and is anatomically correct. Not clear if that means he can father children in the MCU - I believe he could not in the comics.

OldBoy

I don’t know, but wouldn’t think possible and didn’t, although wanted to know, never sought it out in research,. but wanted to know history in comics...

mhg83

I'm still going with the theory that this is Wanda's mothers memories. So Wanda gave birth to herself.

OldBoy

well, that’s just the plot of the Wrong Turn remake...

LorenzoL

God bless everyone trying to explain Wanda’s power, whether Vision is the father of the kids and whether her kids are real to OldBoy!

Mike86

I mean in fairness I think it’s a valid question. I was confused by the pregnancy as well.

I had a similar discussion with my girlfriend, because I wouldn’t think Vision could get her pregnant. That’s saying she actually is, but it could likely be some fantasy in her head.

My girlfriend brought up the same thing about maybe Wanda somehow used a form of magic to make it happen.

Red Hood

In comics, Vision and Wanda couldn't have kid cause he's an Android, so she willed them into existence (like in the show) but some help of Mephisto (still waiting if it's going to be the same). Both kids were absorbed by Mephisto when it was all said and done. The kids were reincarnated later on, born to different families, but Billy having Wanda's powers and Tommy having Pietro's powers.

It's all convoluted stuff, like characters that have been in existence for 60+ years tend to be.

I would think Vision being dead would be a larger impediment to him fathering a child than his android-ness, but maybe that's just me.

cultshock

Well yeah, and then there is that. There are so many things happening on the show that defy logic (because none of it is actual reality), so why focus on this one thing? When we found out that Wanda was pregnant, I just rolled with it, because it's that kind of show.

Toddarino

This.
Theres a whole bunch of wacky shit happening and apparently her pregnancy is just unbelievable.

Troy Stiffler

My theory is that Vision is just part of what Wanda has going on in her head. A Tyler Durden thing. Or a Solaris thing.

The only thing that goes against this theory, is how we have independent scenes with Vision (ie, getting lunch with the guys, or talking outside with the neighbors).

I think Vision will be revealed to be dead and gone. This delusion is her coping with the loss of Vision and her brother.
