Anyone else get Ramin Djawadi vibes in the score once she walked through that door?! Couldn’t see anything on IMDB tho
Wasn’t able to be officially called that in the MCU given they didn’t have the rights to mutants/names when they were still with Fox.
Earlier in the season, they also made a point to show that she was not known as Scarlet Witch within the MCU. When they were doing a debrief at SWORD (in episode 5 maybe?), Heyward pushed Woo whether or not Wanda had a nickname and Woo maintained she did not.
I hope her character becomes the new Loki of the MCU going forward and she starts showing up in a bunch of other Marvel projects.
Immediately reminded me of a sitdown interview Stephen Colbert did with Anderson Cooper a few years back where they spent a good chunk discussing greif. It's an incredible watch and conversation that I think everyone should watch.
I'll come back to lots of points but I love the director's take on "uglying up" Elizabeth for the Hydra scene was just "I dunno...make her look like one of her sisters, now".
Lots of sewing up loose ends. No "hidden" Mephisto so far. Great back story on Agatha with a nice, original twist of being betrayed by her own coven, instead of the vice versa from the comics. Heyward planted the idea that Wanda stole Vision's body when she, in fact, left mostly quietly. At that point, he already knows her power - and said so - so is showing her the body an intentional attempt at getting her to bring him back? Writers knew damn well that bringing Fietro(lol) would elicit multiverse talk from fans - when in reality, it appears he was just an apparition by Agatha "It was Agatha all along" is a bit misleading. It was Wanda all along, Agatha has just been the catalyst for small interruptions in the hex while investigating wtf is going on. She's not really the bad guy - cept Sparky...and maybe the kid-biting thing. Heyward just made gray Vision the "bad guy" imo and now we're going to get a witch team-up to save/stop him. With a possibility of our storied "cameo"? Agatha seemed to believe the kids are just manifestations of the hex but is using holding them captive as her insurance policy because she knows Wanda's likely as strong as she is at this point. The twins clearly have a future somewhere in the MCU so I guess this is no weirder than their comic origin story.
Also, how did a sentient AI get the money to buy the house for he and Wanda? You think he still has access to Tony's back accounts? Lastly - for now - I'm just gonna say it: minus the whole mind control thing, I think Wanda was good for Westview. Place looked to be going to shit when she arrived. I think they owe her a thank you tbh
I actually thought it was probably post-snap recovery...which we saw in major cities caused a Depression-like effect. Imagine it crushed small towns. Show has done an amazing job of bringing up how the snap affected the planet with little mentions and hope we get some more of that with future D+ shows. It's something Endgame couldn't really take the time to fully show.
I'm hoping we'll get a closed end on this. I think the note was real. Vis bought the house, construction stopped because of the snap, she found the note, was driven to find where Vision's body was, and then go to the house. I could see it playing out as the note/deed being real and someone planted it for her to find...or being entirely fake and part of a larger attempt to get her involved with the Vis reanimation efforts.
This is the part I didn't really understand. Didn't the local police people Woo talked to in episode four tell him Westview isn't an actual place? Or am I remembering that wrong?
She had placed them under a spell of some sort. “Westview doesn’t exist” Where do you live, then? Eastview all while standing next to the welcome to westview sign.
They weren't in the hex, though. If she put them under a spell outside the hex, why not do that to everyone else?
They drove the other way (back where Monica came from). That whole premise from that episode seemed very odd to me at the time for a bunch of reasons, and I'm trying not to nitpick stuff.
Think it's safe to assume they came from inside the hex though. And then drove away after the conversation, further emphasizing they weren't from Westview. They're the only example of a people that have come from inside the hex instead of being "expelled" from it. I think you'd have to assume they were still under her control until the hex was broken.
I don’t think it’s safe to assume they came from inside the hex. I’m not sure what the explanation is and I really don’t care. it just confused me a little bit.
Their uniforms say Westview on them. I'd say Wanda stationed them on the outside of the hex to ward off anyone investigating. Or Agatha did.
did they? maybe I’m dense but I left that scene thinking Westview didn’t exist. even if the cops were under Wanda’s spell, Choo would have known wouldn’t he?
She didn’t do it to everyone else because she was not trying to what she did and if you listen to Agatha, when she makes the “magic on cruise control comment, she’s baffled by the fact that SW’s magic reached as far as it did.
The one thing that confused me was that she kept going through doors to see things but she was ultimately trapped within Agathas wards, but in the last sequence she creates the town and then she appears on set before walking outside. I am confused as to how she got outside or why Agatha allowed her out.
Choo only had the information to go on from the police. He never says he doesn't believe Westview exists - he can clearly see it - he's just baffled the police don't seem to think so. And yes.
Yeah, why she chose to hold the kids hostage outside of the basement seems silly. Especially once she realizes Wanda's power.
Everything in this show seems to be well thought out. I don’t think questioning is in the vein of that’s ridiculous as much as why?
