Warning: spoilers for WandaVision ahead. White Vision, a dangerous creation of S.W.O.R.D. acting director Tyler Hayward in Marvel’s Disney+ series WandaVision, left the series finale in an unexpected way. But according to showrunner/head writer Jac Schaeffer, she was not concerned with where that version of the character ends up or what happens to him once he […]

A review of the WandaVision finale coming up just as soon as I say that debriefs are for the weak…
Yesterday, I wrote an essay praising WandaVision for leaning into its existence as a television show, rather than a Marvel Cinematic Universe film drawn out to fill up nine episodes. With an episode aptly titled “The Series Finale,” WandaVision concludes very much in MCU territory, a bit for good and more for ill.
It’s not just that we’ve long since left the sitcom conceit behind(*), but that the...

In the days leading up to the “WandaVision” series finale, a lot of people online were wondering how long the episode would be, and it turns out that it was a normal length. The episode, titled “The Series Finale” (of course), was the longest episode of the show, but only by a few minutes. It was still less than an hour, including the credits, which featured both a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene for the first time. In other words, it was a TV show until the end. A TV show that created one of the most powerful beings in the known universe, of course, but a TV show nonetheless.
The finale was pretty much exactly what we all expected it to be, with Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) facing off against Agatha (Kathryn Hahn), who wanted to absorb Wanda’s power like she’d absorbed all the powers from the...

This article contains WandaVision spoilers.
After nine episodes, WandaVision has wrapped up with a tremendous series finale episode. Agatha Harkness and Tyler Hayward’s plans have been foiled. Vision has ceased to exist in one sense, while a version of him continues to exist in another sense. Westview is freed, all except for one doomed citizen. Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, has moved on to find out what she truly is.
Then, as we’re tipped off by the lack of Disney+ asking us if we want to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron next, we get two different post-credits scenes. Each one is setup for an upcoming MCU movie sequel.
The Mid-credits Scene And Captain Marvel 2
Jimmy Woo gets his moment of authority by taking control of the post-Wanda situation in Westview. This leads to an interesting question of what will become of Agatha. Wanda intended for her to...

One of the biggest lingering questions about “WandaVision” is something Vision actor Paul Bettany teased back in January, when he told the Lights Camera Barstool podcast that at some point in the season he would share screen time with an actor he has “always wanted to work with.”
When Evan Peters showed up as “Fietro” back in episode 5, people assumed he was the actor in question. But nope, sorry. Because two weeks later Bettany told Esquire “there is one character that has not been revealed,” then he repeated that the actor is someone “I’ve longed to work with all of my life,” and said he’s “really excited” for people to see it.
Well, now that the finale has aired, we know who that big important actor Bettany wanted to work with so badly is. And all we have to say is well played, Bettany you magnificent bastard. Well played.

You could say it all started with one Paul William Bettany.
Last month, the star of Marvel’s WandaVision got fans’ attention when he started teasing a new character arriving in the MCU spinoff series that had miraculously survived online leaks, which in turn meant that Evan Peters’ “Pietro” Maximoff definitely wasn’t who he was referring to.
“There is one character that has not been revealed,” Bettany told Esquire. “And it is very exciting. It is an actor I’ve longed to work with all of my life. We have some amazing scenes together and I think the chemistry between us is extraordinary and fireworks on set.”
The internet immediately got busy trying to work out exactly who Bettany was chatting about, and which character from Marvel Comics they could be playing. Robert De Niro as Mephisto? Keanu Reeves as Nightmare? It must be someone big and important,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read this story unless you’ve seen Season 1, Episode 8 of Disney Plus’ “WandaVision.”
After eight episodes, six distinct television eras, and apparently two rival Visions, Marvel Studios’ “WandaVision” first — and possibly only — season is coming to a close this Friday on Disney Plus. But we still have so many questions that this twist-strewn superhero TV show has yet to answer. With just one episode left — and so much to settle in the saga of how Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) grieved the loss of Vision (Paul Bettany) by creating a sitcom reality in the sleepy New Jersey city of Westview — let’s look at the biggest dangling plot strands audiences are eager to see resolved.
Who Is “Fietro”?
Ever since Evan Peters showed up at Wanda’s doorstep as a guy claiming to be her dear-departed twin brother, the internet has been in a tizzy over why Peters was playing Pietro Maximoff,...

This article contains WandaVision spoilers.
With just one episode left in the season – and technically the series – the finale of WandaVision has a lot of ground to cover.
Its penultimate installment was not just a heartbreaking retrospective of just how terrible Wanda’s life has been and how much she has suffered, it gave us an entirely new understanding of a character that’s been part of this universe for four feature films to date. Plus, there’s the whole thing where a secret government agency appears to have reanimated Vision’s dead body to use as a weapon, and Wanda herself is most likely a legendary, all-powerful witch.
How the series plans to wrap up these dangling plot threads in addition to laying the groundwork for the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and establishing what comes next is anyone’s guess. But there are a few...

(This article contains major spoilers for “Previously On,” the eighth episode of the Marvel series “WandaVision”)
Well, that sure was a doozie. For the next-to-last episode of “WandaVision” on Disney+, we got a bit of a lore dump as Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) took a trip through Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) past. One of the biggest things we learned was that, actually, Wanda did Not steal Vision’s body from S.W.O.R.D.
S.W.O.R.D. director Tyler Hayward (Josh Stamberg), it turns out, lied to Monica about that to paint Wanda as a villain — he showed her video of Wanda breaking the glass in the lab and descending into the bay, and used those to weave a fake story.
So it certainly looks a lot like Hayward himself is the real villain here. Especially after that bonus scene we got during the end credits.

WandaVision only has one more episode left this season, and with every answer we get, another question pops up in its place. Throughout this season, one of the biggest questions we've had on our minds is: how exactly did Wanda and Vision get to the seemingly idyllic town of Westview in the first place? Well, in episode eight, some of that starts coming to light as Wanda watches flashbacks of her life. In addition to seeing what really went down when she visited Vision's body at S.W.O.R.D. headquarters, we learn that she moved to Westview after receiving a property deed.
When Wanda leaves S.W.O.R.D., we see an envelope placed in the passenger's seat of her car as she drives to New Jersey. Once there, she pulls up to an empty lot and opens the letter, revealing that it's actually a deed to the property.

While the first few episodes of WandaVision led us to believe that S.W.O.R.D. has been keeping track of Wanda, episode five confirms the fact that it is Vision they are truly interested in. When Monica Rambeau begins to get in Director Tyler Hayward's way after he considers Wanda a terrorist, he sends her and Jimmy Woo away, only for the pair to escape in order to find out what's truly going on. In episode six, Monica and Jimmy discover that S.W.O.R.D. wasn't trying to decommission Vision like Hayward initially said; they were trying to bring him back online. But what does S.W.O.R.D. actually want with him?
S.W.O.R.D., which was started by Maria Rambeau sometime after the events of Captain Marvel, stands for Sentient World Observation and Response Department. Initially, it was focused on...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “WandaVision” Episode 7, “Breaking the Fourth Wall.”]
Shortly before the opening credits blend “The Office” muzak with a “Modern Family” title card, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) makes a promise. While not explicit, her words are the kind of implied assurance familiar to TV fans everywhere. It’s the start of the episode, things are a bit awry, and our lead character sits down to tell us what’s going to happen this week. Technically, it’s a promise to herself, but the late-2000s twist to Episode 7’s sitcom homage sees Wanda speaking directly to the camera for the first time.
“I plan on taking a quarantine-style staycation,” Wanda says, after getting a bit frazzled from expanding the Hex and seeing random objects in her house shifting through time. “A whole day. Just myself. That’ll show me.”
Now, from the audience’s perspective, there are two ways to take this promise:...

This article contains WandaVision spoilers.
As much as we love it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been great about telling complex emotional stories. Perhaps that’s understandable, as the franchise’s various Avengers must regularly wrestle with potentially world-ending stakes and still somehow save the day, all within a two-and-a-half-hour theatrical runtime. These aren’t stories that generally time to be but so concerned with things like the psychological trauma that inevitably resulted from these life-or-death events or how our heroes are meant to heal from them, provided they manage to do so at all.
Thankfully, WandaVision seems determined to change that, acknowledging not just the scope of the horror that Wanda Maximoff has been forced to endure but how much pain the simple act of survival has left her in. The sort of extended trauma that likely necessitates the creation of a false alternate reality in order to process.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched Season 1, Episode 6 of Disney Plus’ “WandaVision.”
The last time we caught up with Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision’s (Paul Bettany) quirky adventures through television eras, we were in the curly and corny and colorful 1980s, dealing with superpowered and superaging twins, Vision’s growing consciousness of the anomalies of “WandaVision,” a dog that died for the bogus reason of eating too many of the next-door sorceresses’ azalea leaves and Wanda breaking her own fourth wall to confront S.W.O.R.D.
The sixth episode of “WandaVision” was just as replete with sitcom zaniness — heavily inspired by the early aughts Fox series “Malcolm in the Middle” — and with scenes of the investigative research of agents and scientists-gone-rogue. But that also means that this episode has left us with, yes, you guessed it, a bunch of puzzles to crack.

This article contains WandaVision spoilers.
Monica Rambeau has officially arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She first appeared as a kid in 2017’s Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris’s adult iteration of her has been in most episodes of WandaVision so far, but it wasn’t until the fourth episode, “We Interrupt this Program,” viewers finally got a chance to see adult Monica as “herself” (rather than her sitcom alter ego of “Geraldine”) and learn her backstory.
Since then, we’ve caught more glimpses into her mysterious role within the MCU. Parris’s Monica is an excellent rendition of the character, and WandaVision is littered with small details about the character that set her up as a major player moving forward with the next phase of the MCU.

It's become redundant to say, but WandaVision truly keeps getting better with every episode.
The story has gained major traction with WandaVision Season 1 Episode 5, and we suspect that Wanda and Vision's journey in Westview will keep on developing at a fast pace.
Especially now that they have a new guest.
It's impossible to not talk about that ending first, because what just happened?!
Pietro's arrival at Wanda and Vision's doorstep is something that many fans have been speculating would happen, but in true Marvel fashion, they still managed to surprise us.
We expected to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson's version of Quicksilver, but what we got was Evan Peters'.
As you may recall, Peters played the speedster on the X-Men film series, which 20th Century Fox produced. But now that Disney has bought out the studio, it seems as though the X-Men are fair game in the MCU.

This article contains spoilers for WandaVision episode 4.
We’re officially four episodes into WandaVision, and the situation in Westview is starting to heat up. But with more than half of the remaining season left yet to air (the first season consists of a planned nine episodes), there’s still so much more we don’t know.
Although the first three episodes were firmly ensconced in the sitcom-esque small-town reality that Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) find themselves in, with only the occasional blip to indicate that something strange is going on, episode 4, titled “We Interrupt This Program,” finally pans out to reveal the true circumstances of the situation. Not only is the town of Westview, New Jersey trapped within some type of cosmic energy field (the likes of which resemble the swirls and patterns of an old TV screen), but it appears that the person ultimately responsible...
