I watched the trailer having no clue what this show was about. After watching the first episode I still have no clue what this show is about. But I'm definitely watching the next episode.
WandaVision, even if its a TV show is one of the best MCU programs that have come out so far. The storyline with Wanda and Vision is amazing. I really liked that they got back Darcy from Thor and the theories on the internet about Agness being Agatha Harkness are getting closer and closer to the truth. Also maybe Mephisto (Marvel's devil) is controlling Billy and Tommy is also a fun theory. All that is great but what tops the cake is the reveal of the X-Men in the MCU. The reveal at the end of episode 5 when Evan Peters's Pietro was seen on camera had me rolling on the floor. Overall an amazing show and an amazing experience.
It had its moments, and it's worth a watch simply because it's amusing and interesting. But there's a lot of weak points, and the finale is a mess.
WANDA IS NOT THE BAD GUY
I don't like sitecoms, this is not for me, I stopt after 2 episodes.
IT WAS AGATHA ALL ALONG
Wanda could trap my whole family in a fictional reality and I would still defend her

This could have been so much better.
They should have just made a movie with better plot and better ending. She was struck with grief and life long trauma, so she did it unintentionally, at first. But then she kept it that way, played along cz she didn't want it to end. She wanted it to be a reality. Her reality. But in the end even with Agatha there she didn't find out much about her powers. We already know she is dangerous, she already knows that somewhere in the back of her head. She must know. But by the end she should have known so much more than she got to. Like how to control it or what her full power is or why is she so dangerous...
But we and Wanda got nothing. What she did to the townsfolk was unacceptable and she didn't apologise to them, not like an apology would would vanish their trauma they got from her but she should have apologised and did something for them or something. She is dangerous because of her trauma and heartache, the loss of her parents, brother and then Vision has made her super dangerous. But she is a good person. If she knows what she is capable of and get treatment for her trauma she will definitely do good for the people.
This show could have been better as a movie with better writing.
I went in really wanting to like it but I just didn’t. I get why it was done as it did fill in gaps left from Age of Ultron and it essentially explained what happened to them after the events of Infinity War but I guess I just didn’t like the style in which it was done. I love Marvel but this wasn’t one of my favourites by some stretch
Terrible ending, thanks Marvel and Disney, now I don't think I will watch any new shows after this slap on the face of the fans.
This saves the weakest for the last, and as much as many may not be satisfied with the first few episodes (look at their scores on imdb and trakt here in comparison to the rest), I really miss the more committed charming goofiness of their format, with the occasional moments of sinister breakthroughs. Some usual MCU stuff after that is engaging enough, but coming after those eps' opening change of pace makes the whole thing feel like a big disappointment.
Still, this probably gains at least one full score point more for me because of Olsen, who finally gets a full showcase and obliterates every challenge in her way. I'd like to imagine that they make this show after seeing her Infinity War scene where she has to kill Vision, in which Olsen's performance goes above and beyond what the scene requires and makes the whole climax already a gut-punch even before the snap, being so impressed with her there that they make that scene the lynchpin of the whole series.
The mourning for the death of a loved one has five phases, according to the theory developed by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in 1969: Denial stage, anger stage, negotiation stage, depression stage and acceptance stage. Basically, "WandaVision" is a representation of Wanda Maximoff's mourning for Vision's death, the phases of which are present throughout the nine episodes of this first MCU proposal as a long-story development. This grieving process, which leads the protagonist to build an idyllic life, transformed into a transposition of family series from the 1950s to the 1980s, is the most interesting of a concept that began with certain doses of risk, although it was not what fans of the Marvel universe expected.
But the first three episodes of "WandaVision" are the best we have seen so far in the beginning of 2021, a splendid tribute to the evolution of television comedies, and by extension, to how not only our environment has been transformed throughout the last decades, but mainly the way of producing audiovisual content for the whole family. At the same time, the introduction of disruptive elements of this "idyllic" reality (it depends on who) has been creating a disturbing vision of that representation of reality that is fictitious (something like a version of the false envelope that was shown to us in "The Truman Show" (Peter Weir, 1998), when the supposed reality manifested itself as a nightmare). It's certainly a brave approach, not least because Marvel fans aren't exactly demanding visual experiments or especially risky ones. But for those of us who don't have much interest in this MCU that appears to us as a puzzle made up of pieces that unfold between series and movies, it is an interesting approaching.
"WandaVision" has been adopting the Marvel aesthetic, putting its story on track to follow the highway to the rest of the MCU (something like what happened with "The Mandalorian" (Disney +, 2019-) in the second season, after a first one that went out of the lane and was therefore more attractive). Because the problem of producing series that are part of a set, that depend on the above but above all must link with other projects (in this case mainly with "Doctor Strange 2: The multiverse of madness" (Sam Raimi, 2022)), is that many ends cannot be tied, they must be left open to be coupled without loopholes (actually, it doesn't matter that much either, because every time it has to solve narrative inconsistencies in its characters, Marvel pulls a multiverse up its sleeve). In this way, "Wandavision" ends up being so subordinate to what will come that it stays halfway, in a kind of independent story in which, yes, it is concluded in the Acceptance stage of the mourning, but the character of Scarlet Witch practically does not evolve. This dependency is such that, of the 50 minutes that "The series finale" lasts, 10 minutes are of credits with introduction of post-credits scenes that announce what will come in the near future.
The only reason everyone watched it was loyalty, it started with sitcoms and in the end at least i wanted to throw away my coms.. just a better cliffhanger and then nothing,

Actually I am enjoying this from the very first episode, it's been fun and intriguing at the same time. I have to admit that I started to watch it just to follow the whole MCU plot, But this show I liked it.
