Really good episode tonight...

Yeah that was some good exposition.

There's potential to wrap it up in an interesting way next week. I worry they're gonna let Wanda off the villain hook though.

There’s been all sorts of rumors, and there may even be reliable leaks out there at this point.

I haven’t seen any verified leaks yet, but it seems people have a lot of theories.

Some people are throwing around big names for a Mephisto reveal like Al Pacino.

There are also theories that Monica’s engineer friend will end up being the Blue Marvel character played by either Denzel or Will Smith.

I’m hoping for a Fassbender Magneto.

I do wonder if the conclusion to this show will be a reverse House of M situation.

_________________

Is a Doctor Strange appearance still a possibility?

I'd love to see that, as well as Magneto (either Fassebender or McKellen).

Hopefully it doesn't just end with a White Vision vs. Wanda/Vision fight (with or without Agatha).

I'm hoping it's Ben Affleck as Batman.

Hey, they did the "wrong" Pietro...a DC/Marvel crossover would blow people's minds.

_________________

Dr. Strange should def show up in the last episode as this show is the jump off for the multiverse plot points in Dr. Strange 2 and Spider Man 3.

MANY don’t think he is the big cameo tho, because Bettany said the cameo hasn’t been leaked yet, and it’s an actor he’s always wanted to work with. Apparently, he has already worked with Cumberbatch.

ImO it would be a letdown if it is just Cumberbatch.

Agree 100% with your last point.

_________________

Also, just so everyone is on the same page here.

The big plot reveal last episode was that Wanda already had “abilities”, and the mind stone just amplified them to an OP level.

So, the mutant gene has been in the MCU all along.

Just dormant.

Yes. Yes.

cool, I'll start it this weekend.

This sort of show isn't really my thing, but my son is making me watch it.
It's ok...I'm sure all you Marvel junkies are liking it. I'm just glad it's not painfully bad.

_________________

Unfortunately, the peak was Ep 8.

9 was a letdown imo.

_________________

I didn’t like that episode too much.

I let myself get overhyped.

_________________

I was expecting a huge letdown. The main villain was kind of a letdown to begin with.

I was pleasantly surprised with E9.

_________________

Loved the series. E9 was a great ending to it. I am glad there wasn't a big name cameo. Let it be the conclusion of the story of the main two characters.

Episode was fine as a conclusion to the series.

The hype for a big surprise was a letdown, and hurt the finale.

I've been watching this w/ my son and his gf.

I am not a superhero fan so didnt post at all due to the super hero fans may go nuts on me. But here goes - REMEMBER - I AM NOT A SUPERHERO FAN.


SPOILERS AHEAD



First of all, I had no idea about anything when the series started. I sort of like the first 2 episodes when the went back to the 50s/60s and really not knowing what was going on.

But then as the season progress, this series became a real chore.

First of all, was I suppose to root for Wanda? I wanted her to die each and every minute of every episode after I knew what was going on. So she steals people's lives and she get to get away with it at the end? No jail? No punishment? Bullshit. I wanted the gov guy's to win and the wanda family to lose. And fuck those fake kids of her.

THEN....It was going along as a superhero show THEN BOOM - ALL of a sudden, it became about witches?????!!?? W T F? They got this Marvel franchise rolling in dough and they can't afford a few good writers??? That was a pretty stupid plot twist into a completely other genre.

And this Vision character. This guy has to be THE WORST superhero someone would have even come up with in the history of superheros. Back in the day this character would have been left on the cutting room floor.

What he reminded me was of MR SPOCK in STAR TREK. It was THE EXACT same character. I for one know MR SPOCK should never ever be cast as a superhero. But they did it in this series and it sucked. As he has no human qualities, I could literally give 2 fucks about him. I wanted him to die as well.

And wtf was that shit w/ the vision vs white vision. What happened to white vision after the fight?? He just took off and that was it? Where did he go? I didnt understand that part.

The only likable person was the Asian FBI Agent (Sorry Caller Bob). They should have made the story more interwined w/ the African American character who was in Wanda's vision and came back to help her. Once she came back into the city, she was basically not used. Also the Nerdy chick should have got more time on the show but they put her in a circus and forgot about her.


Final Grade : D

Watch all 37 Marvel movies and then rewatch it.

Sounds cool, but I’m not going to believe any leaks or rumors for a long time after the wandavision hype fiasco.

_________________

Watched it over the last week and it was fine. Despite the talk about the first episodes I thought they were pretty good, it was the last ones that faltered. I think that comes down to the 2 (3 maybe, White Vision seemed just kinda there to me) villains not being that interesting though.

I'm about 6 eps in, love it. Don't follow spoilers so had no idea they had Evan Peters from X-Men movies playing Pietro. My jaw hit the ground when he rang the doorbell.




There's no Wanda in the recent X-Men movies is there? I never saw Dark Phoenix on account of the reviews. Saw the other 3 though. Don't remember her in there.

_________________

Finished this last night. The ending was kinda meh.

Is the plan for this to lead into something else with the Scarlett Witch? What is the point of the skrull scene at the end?


Overall Id say the whole thing was pretty good, not great. I'm already struggling to remember key plot points which is always a sign that it wasn't anything special.


Had no idea who the villain was, never heard of white vision and still have no idea how the black girl got super powers or who she is supposed to be in the MCU. I do remember her as a little girl in Captain Marvel.
