These are meant to be read after watching, so they will go deep into <strong>spoiler<\/strong> territory. You have been warned!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This first post covers episodes one and two, which are currently streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_New_Era_for_Marvel\"><\/span><strong>A New Era for Marvel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Disney+ era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally arrived, and it has done so with a project that never in a million years would make it to the big screen. A Loki adventure? Sure. The Falcon dealing with the Captain American legacy? I can imagine that film. A parody of television sitcoms starring a dead character and his sorceress girlfriend that occasionally breaks into surrealism? I dunno, I just don\u2019t see it. Even if the delivery system weren\u2019t a love letter to the format, this experiment needs the freedom television offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right off the bat, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tells us several things about its premise, something to be thankful for with a show this high-concept. One is that Wanda and Vision don\u2019t know that Vision is dead. But they do know that they have powers that need to be kept secret. In both of these first two episodes, fitting into the new neighborhood is the couple\u2019s primary motive, and they can\u2019t exactly do that with Vision floating through walls or Wanda changing reality as she sees fit. Despite keeping their abilities secret, neither seem aware of their setting\u2019s artificial nature, nor do they <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear to have any memories of their MCU reality. Vision slaves away in an office he has no memory of joining but has the wherewithal to ask what the company does. He gets no answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Episode_One\"><\/span>Episode One<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so within this uncertain larger setting, we watch Wanda and Vision deal with smaller plots. The first episode begins with a mystery. Why does today\u2019s date on the calendar have a heart written on it? What plan did the couple forget? Vision eventually learns it indicates a dinner date with his strict new boss, Mr. Heartman. Wanda thinks it is an anniversary. This leads to a very sitcom misunderstanding in which a sensually-dressed Wanda accidentally hits on the uptight Mr. Heartman, mistaking him for Vision in their darkened living room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that\u2019s the surface humor. Above that is the mystery of why neither character remembers why there\u2019s a heart on the calendar, though we in the audience know it must be because this reality is brand new to them. And then there is a third level, in which we watch a commercial for a Stark Industries toaster that kind of looks like Vision and presents the tagline \u201cForget the past. This is your future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a complicated stew of elements. The sitcom pastiche offers a great way to have fun with old television tropes while also (likely) giving <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> some thematic heft since the perfect families of television are all empty fantasies. But it is also merely high-concept window dressing. These tours through television history, witty and lovingly recreated though they may be, cannot sustain full half-hours of television in and of themselves. Modern audiences may nod approvingly at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bewitched<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> references for a moment, but what keeps <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fresh is the mystery of what\u2019s really going on, the surreal moments when this false reality begins to shift, and the melancholy reminders that Vision is dead. Super dead. Like, he died and came back to life just so they could kill him again, dead. The second line of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s first episode even reminds us of his violent departure \u201cMy husband, and his indestructible head.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We see this during the dinner with Mr. Heartman. It\u2019s going along according to<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dick Van Dyke<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Love Lucy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tropes until Mr. Heartman starts asking pointed questions about who Wanda and Vision are, where they come from. Before they must answer a question they have no chance of confronting, he starts choking. Suddenly the cinematography shifts to something more modern and Mr. Heartman\u2019s wife gets frozen in a creepy reactive loop. Wanda demands Vision save the man, which he does by phasing his hand into his throat. After that, things go back to \u201cnormal\u201d as if no disruption happened. But, of course, it did and it was weird as hell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting a button on all this, the episode ends on a modern monitor. Someone aside from us is watching <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well. Welcome to the show\u2019s central mystery!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Episode_Two\"><\/span><strong>Episode Two<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode two jumps ahead to a full on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bewitched<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Dream of Jeanie<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aesthetic, though still black and white. It\u2019s late at night and a noise out the window keeps the couple awake. Out of fear, Wanda brings their separate \u201850s-style beds together and \u2013 after discovering the sound was just a crazy branch and not vandals \u2013 the two get it on. The jokes this episode have a bit more edge as well, befitting this minor leap forward into television modernity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plot this time involves a talent show the neighborhood is putting on \u201cfor the children\u201d (we do not see any children). Vision and Wanda will provide a magic performance, but before that, Vision will meet up with the guys for a neighborhood watch meeting, while Wanda tries to get on the good side of the town\u2019s queen bee Dottie (played by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s Emma Caulfield), who seems to have a horrifying hold on the women in the neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than save the surrealism for the end, it pops up throughout the episode, which I imagine will only increase as the show continues. This time it comes first in the form of a colorized toy helicopter. Later a much more aggressive scene occurs in which Dottie and Wanda\u2019s conversation is interrupted by a radio playing The Beach Boys\u2019 \u201cHelp Me Rhonda\u201d stuttering out with a new voice asking \u201cWanda, who is doing this to you? Wanda?\u201d Even stranger, this causes Dottie to lose her character, looking at Wanda with new eyes and asking \u201cWho are you?\u201d The break arrives as Wanda confronts the idea that she and Vision are a danger to the neighborhood. Can they be if the neighborhood doesn\u2019t exist?<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_3 --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This line of questioning gets more complicated by a scene with Kathryn Hahn\u2019s Agnes that takes place away from Wanda or Vision, the first scene to stray away from the duo and focus on someone else. Agnes, normally (so far anyway) a typical nosy neighbor type, hangs back and greets the mailman, Dennis, with finger guns, to which he responds \u201cDon\u2019t shoot, I\u2019m just the messenger.\u201d Does he betray a hint of fear? And if so, does that make Agnes a more authoritative participant in this reality? Just how aware are these people of the show they are in?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you\u2019re trying to figure the significance of all this, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> barrels onward with its sitcom plotting. This bizarre combination of notes and tones only occasionally plays in full concert, but when it does, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WandaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> truly sings. Vision gets drunk of chewing gum (I guess giving Vision sticky food is another way to kill him?) before the big magic show performance. He is too carefree to keep his powers secret, so Wanda must alter reality with her own. When he lifts a piano, for instance, she turns it to cardboard, prompting one of the cast-members to offer the very sitcom punchline: \u201cThat was my mother\u2019s piano.\u201d It\u2019s a sitcom conflict complicated and resolved with superhero nonsense, and sewn up with a legitimately funny line, all underlined with a creeping dread. That\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WanadaVision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things go well for the couple. Their magic act is interpreted as comedy, earning them the inaugural \u201cComedy Performance of the Year\u201d award from Dottie. The two go home and Wanda suddenly finds herself pregnant. I mean, they <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">did<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have sex at the start of the episode, so \u2013 insane timing and the question of whether or not Vision has sperm aside \u2013 it does make sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What doesn\u2019t make sense is when Vision and Wanda leave the house to investigate a noise only to find a man crawling from a manhole, swarming with bees and donning a strange emblem on his suit. Wanda straight-up cannot handle whatever this is and rewinds time instead. So <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s something she can do. The couple kiss and get rewarded with colorization and a new, more \u201870s-looking set.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Looking_Ahead\"><\/span><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This show is such a unique blast of fun. It\u2019s too early to know exactly what is happening, but the mixture of television history and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Infinity War <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">epilogue is something none of us could have predicted when Vision and Wanda first started making eyes at each other. Plus, the mystery is fun. Even the most obvious source material for this story, Tom King\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vision<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> run, doesn\u2019t seem to play a direct part in what\u2019s going on here, so it\u2019s really anyone\u2019s guess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My prediction is pretty basic: Wanda has created this reality as a way to deal with the death of Vision. But she doesn\u2019t know it. Except sometimes she does seem to know it. I don\u2019t know how the person watching the television at the end of episode one plays into that. I don\u2019t know how the radio voice asking \u201cWanda, who\u2019s doing this to you?\u201d plays into that. I don\u2019t know how Hydra and the commercial for Strucker Watches (\u201cHe\u2019ll make time for you\u201d) plays into that. And I don\u2019t know how the possibly sinister Agnes plays into that. But we have seven more episodes to find out, and I cannot wait.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_4 --><\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
