WandaVision (2021)
A great emotional journey I didn't know I needed
Not gonna lie, I was not looking forward to this. I anticipated "Loki" and "Falcon and The Winter Soldier" much more. I kept thinking "Why do a show about Wanda and Vision, when Vision is already dead??". I didn't get the appeal and the whole sitcom setting just seemed weird. I'm so glad I was wrong.
Wandavision is a great dive into these characters that have mostly been sidelined in the MCU until now and that I now love because of this. The main theme of this show is dealing with grief, loneliness and loss. The sitcom setting ended up being a lot of fun, because we got to see these characters in different decades and styles of sitcoms all while dealing with the themes I've mentioned. I want to keep this has much spoiler free as I can, so I won't go much deeper, because this really is a great ride, especially if you're a fan of the MCU, but the weekly discussion and theories that fans came up with (most we see now were really silly) were really fun to experience and I'm really glad I was part of that ride! This is a show that I will rewatch, just to see the little clues sprinkled in the earlier episodes and perhaps catch some things I didn't in the first watch.
This was emotional, heartbreaking, funny, game changing, it set the tone for the MCU going forward and I can't wait to see what they do with it!
Also, shoutout to Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany and Kathryn Hann, you guys are amazing!
