WandaVision stripped back its format to unveil the strength that these shows can provide to the MCU. Emotional to its core, WandaVision gives answers in a deeply moving and captivating way. Every actor is at their very best throughout. In a single episode, Wanda and Vision have become the most complex, sympathetic, and interesting characters in this universe.

Episode 8 one of the best I'd the best one yet, everything is clarified through the almost entire episode. New "Character" Reveal after the credits. Next Week It's Gonna Be Insane. HIGH QUALITY MARVEL CONTENT.

Just finished the episode and i am speechless. The opening scene was incredible offering a glimpse into Agatha's powers and the whole episode takes a step back into how everything happened to be. Can I just say that Elizabeth Olsen deserves every acting award for this performance. It was just incredible seeing her emotional breakdown and finally become the "Scarlett witch". It truly was heartbreaking and mesmerising the entire time with the ending and post credits scene paving the way for what is sure to be a mind-blowing finale of such a great show.

WandaVision episode 8, Previously On, is far and a way the best piece of media Marvel Studios has created in a long time, possibly ever. Going into WandaVision, I expected it to tackle a lot of Wanda's trauma after Vision's death, but I didn't expect what is esentially 40 minutes of some of the best character development Marvel Studios has ever put out, as well as one of the best portrayals of what grief and trauma can feel like that I've ever seen

The episode focuses on Agatha Harkness, the series "villain", taking Wanda on a trip down memory lane to relive the most traumatic moments in her life- the death of her parents when she and Pietro were children, her being experimented on by HYDRA, and her visiting the SWORD Headquarters where we get the tragic reality that Wanda didn't steal Vision's body out of cold storage like we'd previously been shown. Instead, we're shown Vision's dismantled body as SWORD agents take him apart to be decomissioned. It's at this moment that everything becomes unbelievably apparent: Wanda, so consumed by grief, created the Westview hex so that she could have the life with Vision that she should have had.

Many people have been saying Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn deserve Emmy nominations for their work in WandaVision, and while both have been excelent throughout the series run, Olsen especially, this episode solidifies that this series, and this episode in particular, is a career best performance for Olsen. Marvel has announced that Wanda will be a huge character in phase 4, and I can't wait to see where they take this character now that she's fully transformed into The Scarlet Witch

This episode was a bit of a let down for me, I'm not going to say it wasn't good because this episode was good.

I was a bit upset that it only focused on Wanda's past which I will say left more questions than answers. Agatha was only making Wanda reveal her past to see how she was able to do what she did. I got swept up with the fan theories and expected to see how the secondary characters were going to deal with the situation. I wouldn't be too upset with this episode of the exposition actually gave us more answers on what's going on. I actually thought the story was going to lead into the fact that Wanda is a Mutant and that's why she was able to survive the Scepter's power (or she was just lucky). Agatha goes into an explanation that Wanda has Chaos magic which again brings more questions than answers such as "what is chaos magic?" How does Wanda have that? And why is she called by her Comic book accurate name? How's does being the "Scarlet Witch" have anything to do with her power? What does her name entail? Obviously it's some sort of status or title that a power witch would have but how does she have all of that? Other than the unanswered questions, the upsides of the episode is the cinematography and of course THE ACTING. Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn kill it in this episode with their skills. They both bring their A game and it's definitely worth being shoveled the loads of Exposition that is given. I just hope the final episode is long enough to answer all the unanswered questions as well as make the fans happy, I don't see this episode pleasing many of the fans.

Given that we left off the last episode in sort of a cliffhanger (thanks post-credit scene), I expected that we'd at least touch a tad more on that. Alas, no such luck; Monica apparently can wait.

For a series of 9 episodes, it seemed like a colossal waste of time magically walking around in Wanda's history. What's implied but not made clear is why this Agatha person has such an invested interest in Wanda. The implication appears to be plain envy. Yawn. If so, Agatha plays as far, far, far more emotionally angry and vicious than one would expect from a little bit of power envy. There's always the possibility that Wanda and Agatha are 🎵cousins, identical cousins🎵 (get it?).

The penultimate episode doesn't seem like the best time to put the brakes on and focus on two characters, one of whom we still learn little about. In this episode, Agatha was merely a plot device/audience proxy to fill in some blanks that maybe could have been filled in earlier or at least in less detail.

It's not bad per se. However, it isn't one of the bests WandaVision has done.

We finally get some answers to the meta nature of this series as a result of Wanda's past. One great thing about this series is the consistent use of it's metaphors and this is the best example of that. The episode focuses it's style on a common, but usually insignificant, segment of a show: "previously on". However, instead of giving us a standard recap we get a new origin story and compelling and emotional journey to explain why Wanda got to where she is.

This episode may not give us anything new to the wandavision story itself, excluding the ending of course, but it significantly raises the stakes of what's to come in the finale. What we do get is some great character work and acting between Olsen and Hahn once again; both of which deserve Emmy's from this.

One of, if not, the best episode of the entire series and with so much potential left, I can't wait to discover how they end this series and what it will leave us with going forward in the mcu.

A beautiful episode in all respects Specifically, from a dramatic standpoint, and here, Elizabeth Olsen has proven that she deserves justice

This show just continues to impress so much. After last week's end of episode "reveal" (I'm using inverted commas there because I feel like a good portion of us may have seen that coming!) I absolutely KNEW that Agatha wasn't the only one behind this and this has confirmed it in SO many ways.

But who? I have my theories but there were so many different clues that confused me!

It was just amazing to see so vividly into Wanda's backstory (and bravo for the showrunners for explaining it nice and clearly without condescension to the non-movie goers/comic readers in the viewership) So many key moments that we knew about but hadn't seen. Sad we didn't get to see the real Pietro for a moment even in flashbacks.

Seeing her come into her powers from the Mind Stone and showing that connection with the Vision was such a beautiful and emotional moment too. Showing how powerful grief can really be.

Oh and it 100% cemented how much of %}^# Hayward is.

I, in equal parts, can't wait and am really not looking forward to next week's final episode.

Probably the best episode of the series. It establishes how Wanda became Scarlet Witch. Only being capable of spontaneous creation. Loved everu second of it. Now the wait for the finale has become tough multitudes.

I mean look at DC with all the reboots and recasting, Thanks Marvel for continuing that awesomeness throughout more than a decade!

That Scene when wanda was in avengers base lonely in an unknown country to her and after the failure of Civil War,

The Conversation between her and vision is so well written, And Elizabeth Olsen's acting Throughout the whole scene and after is Really incredible,

She's just not introducing and shallow action events telling story, She is here for an amazing real-life grade performance.

And as Vision Said: 'What is grief if not perservering?" 💔
