    Felt this weeks episode was a little flat.

    Some big things in it, but they fell a bit flat, imo.

    Replace the SWORD logo with a 4 and that uniform looks familiar.

    Episode wasn't short timewise, but felt a little empty.

    Was this the first ep with a mid credit scene?

    About the usual I thought, and again, just as it was about to get really interesting the credits came up. :pac:

    Yes.

    Thanks, will save me going back to check.

    This is where my non misspent youth is coming back to haunt me, not up with the comics. :pac:

    It basically means it's opening the MCU to alternate realities... Meaning that's where Agatha got Quicksilver, and likely where Tobey and Andrews Spiderman will come from. Might introduce Galactus and Silver Surfer too :eek:

    Was it not meant to be an hour long?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,719 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    Was it not meant to be an hour long?

    Last 3...and apparently there's 10 and not 9.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Man I didn't want that to end where it did! Things shaping up nicely for a really good final two episodes.

    So in regards to the post credit scene, is he working Agatha?


  • Registered Users Posts: 450 ✭✭dingledosser


    Last 3...and apparently there's 10 and not 9.

    There are 9. Last one on March 5th.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,719 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    There are 9. Last one on March 5th.

    That's why I said apparently... They've confirmed that Falcon and Winter Soldier starts the week after WandaVision ends... So that leaves the 12th open barring the Assembled thing. We'll see, nobody has confirmed it, but the show currently doesn't feel like we're going into the penultimate episode.

    I'm a bit confused about the Aerospace Engineer Monica was going to meet.

    Did i miss something or was it just a random soldier who delivered a truck.

    I think it was two separate people. It was two week ago that Monica mentioned an aerospace engineer and then last week she mentioned she had a guy who could get them in and people (myself included) assumed it was the same person.

    There's meant to be a making of thing like they did with Mandalorian out between the 2 shows so that's the 12th sorted.

    We're also getting all the star stuff next week too.

    Really enjoyable show. Genuinely one of the few shows I’ve watched in years that has kept me guessing as to how it’ll work out

    I'm not a fan of superhero stuff at all, and had to Google MCU. Will this still be accessible to me?

    Not really... Its based 3 weeks after the 'finale' of the start of the MCU and kickstarts the next phase

    Oh wow, MCU seems like a whole other world that has passed me by.

    Also looks very similar to
    her Photon outfit where she is a cosmic powered hero in the comics, and possibly here now in the show too

    The whole episode shows us she has her powers, so she'll be fighting either Agatha or Wanda next week... Gonna be exciting.

    I’ve seen some of the films (not all) and I don’t think I get it at the level loads here do. I don’t go looking for connections and hidden clues for example.

    Still enjoy it

    I would say though that if you aren’t even aware of the MCU, then diving into a superhero tv show probably isn’t for you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,719 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


    I read something today that's mad... Mephisto already exists within the MCU and was known to be an accomplice of SHIELD

    Super-nerds slowed down every frame of each movie and found this, people are unreal :pac:

    I'll be honest, I reckon a decent editor could make a coherent motion picture out of what we have seen so far without reshoots. This has been made into a series for the sake of getting 2 months worth of Disney+ subscriptions out of Marvel fans.
    I'm enjoying it, but I don't think it has rewatch value in this format.

    Agreed.

    I don't think much of the show if I'm honest.
    The sitcom element is forced, tedious and not funny.
    You could nearly fast forward through those parts, its just padding and a distraction.

    Olsen and Bettanys acting is good and convincing but the supporting characters outside the town like Darcy, Monica, and Jimmy Woo are one dimensional.
    They act like they are teenage sleuths solving a mystery.
    Their dialogue is so corny and cliched, it constantly undermines any dramatic tension.
    Every one of them is doing a bad impression of Robert Downey Jr. doing quips as Tony Stark.
    Their acting is pretty woeful too.

    The series is like a twin episode of the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits dragged out to 3 hours plus.

    A brilliant episode. I think we all knew something was up with Agnes. Her intro song was fun and catchy, too. It all has to "kick off" now. I don't really see Agnes sticking around after the show ends, either. Probably replaced by the 'real' villain of the next phase.

    I wonder now that we know who Agnes is, will they stop doing the comedy-show pastiches? Apart from the obvious The Office and Modern Family references, the end part reminded me quite a lot of Desperate Housewives. In a way, Wanda has become one now. The show (DH) is also part of ABC's (i.e. Disney's) repertoire, too.

    I’m the same as you and really enjoying it. I read some of the stuff on here and haven’t a clue what anyone is talking about outside of what’s actually shown.

    Another great episode.

    I feel sorry for those with no patience who stopped watching after 2 or 3 episodes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,187 ✭✭✭Ridley


    I like that the song as credited is named "
    It Was _____ All Along
    ."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,272 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    Not the first time Kathryn Hahn has been involved in a big Marvel plot twist. In the movie "Into the Spider Verse" she voiced Doctor Olivia
    Octavius, AKA Doc Ock
    To be honest I thought they were going to do a Bo Katan here and bring a cartoon character to real life with the voice actor. Now that would have been a plot twist to cap Quick Silver

    I also think Wandavision has achieved something that Marvel hasn't tried before, smaller villains like Agnes being used in inventive ways and there's plenty of characters to dip into. Other thing I've noticed is that Wandavision seems to constantly border into far darker themes than their other Marvel ip. Really does feel Marvel is in a place where they should contemplate making that darker Marvel content.

    I'm certain they said Multiverse of Madness was to be a horror-esqu movie

    They did however with Scott Derickson's departure I wouldn't expect too scary, I think he left creative differences suggesting maybe they were trying to reign in his horror tendencies. Pure speculation on my part, they did after all replace him with Raimi but Raimi seems more at ease blending horror with family friendly, see the Doc Oc surgery scene in SM2.

    But certainly with the likes of Blade on the horizon I'm expecting darker from future films. They're at point where they have to keep the kids who grew up with these films interested while also gaining new fans.

    Marvel confirmed they are keeping Deadpool R-Rated so next phase Marvel and the MCU are branching out.

    True, I'd just hope they're willing to branch out in the darker directions that Daredevil and Punisher went on the TV shows too. There's that entire Marvel Max domain that's such a ripe opportunity.

    Thats song is going to be stuck in my head for days :pac:

    Not a major surprise at the end but a brilliant reveal all the same.

    Really enjoyed
    Monica coming into her powers too, some great soundbites from CM, and it seemed to be her voice that was driving her on. Looking forward to seeing more of her powers in action

    And that clip at the end, despite how quick it was
    pretty much confirms something is properly "off" with Peter/Pietro. At this stage we can either assume Agatha is controlling him or he's someone else. Mephisto maybe?

    Will be interesting to see how this all started now we have more of an idea of what's going on.

    Anyway, I'm off to listen to that song ten more times.

    A great episode, but not the best. I enjoy the sitcoms homages but you can tell they're just not to the same quality of the originals, nor should they have to be. For example they used a music score throughout the "episode" today in some places where in its source material (i.e. The Office/Modern Family) it's the absence of a score that makes the comedy fall right.

    Loving the story though, so many revealed elements tonight. We're in for a banging final two episodes.

    Disappointed about the aerospace engineer reveal, if that was really it? Seemed a strange thing that caught so much speculation to not have a payoff.

    Is this going to be the tagline of this show forever?

    Who really gives a sh1t if people stopped watching? If it wasn't for them it's not a big deal, it certainly doesn't need to be posted after every episode.

    I liked this episode anyway, the reveal at the end works well as trolling those of us who didn't believe the character was a baddie.

    Sorry to upset you.

    First time I posted it.

    For me it's not about it's "not for them" it's just with some shows you get a slow burn or scene setting or character development but a lot of people want constant action and plot development and they then lose patience and then miss out on the big pay off.

    It was the same with Breaking Bad a few years ago, some of my favourite episodes was slower stuff ("The Fly") is one example but people labelled them filler but then called it amazing when someone got killed or they robbed a train.

    Anyhow, glad to see we're both enjoying Wandavision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,364 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Really liking how this series is shaping up, look forward to it every friday.
    I am really glad it's weekly, there is a lot packed into each episode.
    Opening titles again a lot of fun.
    Kathryn Hahn terrific as usual, she is such a versatile actress,
    the TV montage about Agatha was particularly amazing...she killed sparkie!!!!
    Also on a side note...Elizabeth Olsen does an excellent Claire Dunphy!

    I think most people who watched from the beginning understood what the show was trying to do and as you say it was a slow burn mystery, but the thing about slow burns is that do they have enough to keep the attention during the more quieter moments?

    You used Breaking Bad as an example and I'll follow suit by using Better Call Saul; the latter was arguably a slower burn than BB, but it had enough about it to keep the viewer interested. I would say Wandavision probably took a bit too much for granted in the early episodes but it's inconsequential at this point.

    So Agatha killed Sparky...
    John Wick coming to the MCU confirmed
    :pac:

    The whole cast has been exceptional, sad to say that it took WandaVision to be my introduction to Kathryn Hahn, she's been a revelation...

    Hahn is such a wonderful comedy actor, think I first encountered her in Parks and Rec. Hope this opens up more roles for her, she has wonderful range.
