Re: WandaVision (S1E05) - “On a Very Special Episode...” - 2/5/21
Binged all 5 episodes last night (work kept me from the first 4) and I'm loving it. I only wish I had been into comic books growing up as I know I'm missing a crap ton of references outside of those associated with the movies. As weird as it may seem, I felt almost comforted seeing the Marvel Studios opener again.

It was 80's this week. There wasn't a decade in S1E4 since that was all outside of Westview (except for a quick glimpse at the 70's sitcom we saw in S1E3).

As already pointed out, that predates Disney. Beyond that, there is a huge narrative difference between 1) retroactively giving an already redeemed villain an innocent backstory and 2) redeeming an unwitting villain by turning them into a hero and female role model and then having them become a villain that tortures thousands of people into agony. There’s just no way Disney allows that, even if it could make for an interesting story.
I think more evidence to show it's not just Wanda is the stork in episode 3. In that episode a stork shows up when "Geraldine" drops by and Wanda tries to get rid of it including in a puff of red smoke indicating she's using her powers. Much to her surprise it has zero effect on the stork and it just flaps it's wings in defiance indicating that at least part of the sitcom world is not created or even able to be effected by her.

The original Blade trilogy could probably fall in if it's legally possible. Not sure why anyone would hold back from making a deal with Marvel Studios at this point.

Great theories! I hadn't even considered some of them. One thing Disney needs to do (preferably before the series ends) is change their release times... 3am/midnight is ridiculous. Why not just follow HBO and release it at 9/6pm? Wouldn't that increase the must-see nature of the show - releasing it when people are awake and able to watch it?
For whatever reason it seems like Favreau and Filoni's crew are much better at keeping secrets then Feigi. At least when it comes to these TV shows. There's too much news coming out and they're showing too much in the trailers with Wandavision for my tastes.

But yeah, it's been a tougher task on keeping the lid on things regarding Marvel's first (Official) TV show, hasn't it? I'm guessing things will greatly improve once Falcon/Soldier gets going.

This name has been drop before as being the main villain.
I'm almost 100% sure now that Agnes is Agatha Harkness with all the clues from this last episode combined with the others. I do not think it is a spoiler anymore.
Still not sure how this is all going to tie together latter on. Really I think the show made it too obvious about Agnes.
Even with reading some theories online, I did not expect to see that Quicksilver.
If I was to guess.
Before it is all over they going to reveal another villain. A new super hero never seen in the MCU movie/tv world.
This keeps getting better and better.

I haven't been here in about 5 years, and hard to come back on because I'm loving WandaVision so much.
I don't think that anyone yet has pointed out that the after the WV credits but before the real credits in episode 1, there was a short clip of a TV screen with a zoom out and a person writing in some sort of a book. In episode 4, we find out that is Darcey, as the same scene plays, though cut off a bit early. The self-referencing and Easter eggs are so amazing here.
Did I say I'm loving this show?

I'm really enjoying the show but now I just want Control to have a DLC AWE crossover with Marvel.
Also, they very much suggest Wanda is not in control of what's happening. Pops or some of the other X-crew may come into play on that front.

It's been two days and I am already sick of Wanda Answering the Front Door memes.

Not sure of the best place to put this, but damn elon musk for trolling us with what I swore was a Fantastic Four teaser during the super bowl.

As for the "Luke Skywalker level" cameo, Paul Bettany has said
Spoiler:
I just realized we haven't seen the comic booky costumes from the trailer yet -- excited to see how those play into the story![/spoiler]

Yeah, I was talking to my friend about it this weekend, and he said the same thing. I had to slap my forehead and say "Of course, why didn't I think of that part?"

Sorry, yes, should have included link. Yeah that's it, and it aired IMMEDIATELY after the trailer for "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier"

BTW, I loved the "Lagos" paper towel ad that said "For when you make a mess you didn't mean to", as Lagos was the city at the beginning of Civil War where a bunch of people died due to Wanda's mishap (though she did keep more from dying, it was still the blunder that led to Civil War).
