As a casual Marvel fan, are there just tons of references that I’m not seeing?

Otherwise, I didn’t think much of it.

Not too many yet, but a handful including an allusion who their neighbor could be. 

And since this does take place after Endgame in the MCU timeline, part of the mystery is really what the heck is going on, how and why Wanda (and Vision, whatever form he is in, dream, or something else?) is “here”.

Spoilers for Wandavision





Yea, I didn’t need three episodes of fake sitcom setup. That either should have been the first episode or they should have condensed the first three episodes into one.

I liked the setup. It helped set up the more horror genre this is building to and I think it works better with sprinkled references over a couple weeks than all at once. And this episode more clearly laid the stakes and gives a twist on what we can expect for Multiverse of Madness.

If I have any gripe, I think they could've leaned more into the schtick in the first few episodes and ramped up the humor even more, but it's a small nit.

Wow!  Episode 4 making things interesting. Return of two characters and the eventual expected arrival of another.

$hits unraveling! And we have our first X-men crossover! The guy that shows up at her door is Evan Peters, who plays Peter Maximoff in the X-men movies.
The multiverse has been bust wide open.

Wow, that is awesome. What a twist to start binding the MCU to the other verses.

That...was...awesome
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Can I fast forward the first episode of Wandavision? This old timey thing isn't my jam.

Edit: I take it back I'm intrigued

The next episode has to be Full House themed, right? Only logical thing for an Olsen sister.

Probably depends how many unresolved issues she has for growing up in their shadow

Lotta people speculating it'll set up a new villain. 

Are we thinking that this show will lead to the rift that makes the Gov crack down on mutants?  I mean the huge societal change has gotta come from somewhere to make X-men a thing.

Marvel reported this series leads directly to Dr. Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness so obviously the multiverse has something to do with it.  Rumors abound that Spider Man 3 involves the multiverse also.  Quicksilver (re)appearing through the multiverse?

I thought I read also that Ant Man 3 will introduce Kang the Conqueror who is definitely a major villain in the comics.

Also speculation it could be Dr. Doom, with the effort to slowly bring the FF into the MCU.

I hope not. I just don't have confidence in that to actually "work"

Passing on some speculation here, but obviously it could be a spoiler. But since other people are speculating I figure I can pass on something I heard from someone who knows much more about this stuff than I do...


I've been listening to a podcast that recaps/discusses each episode, and of course they're speculating a lot on this. One thing they mentioned is that some fan watched it with foreign subtitles and noticed that the reference to "aerospace engineer" was in the feminine. The podcast hosts speculation is that is is Riri Williams/Ironheart. I think the biggest clue that this might be correct is the fact that Disney has already announced an upcoming series with this character.

For the record, I really don't follow MCU all that closely, but have been diving into WandaVision because my daughter really loves it and wants to watch and discuss it with me. I'd never heard of Ironheart before listening to that podcast today at lunch.

I think E5 was the Full House inspired one. While it had plenty of 80s Family Ties/Growing Pains vibes, the intro had a couple Full House Easter eggs (the swinging twins and the picnic scene).

Agreed.

We getting a Married with Children episode next? Home Improvement? Malcolm in the Middle? Modern Family?

I also thought that there was a definite Full House vibe even though the most obvious references seemed to be to Family Ties.

I recall hearing something about Roseanne, too. Some of the trailers have shown that there will be a Halloween episode with everyone in costume, and that was something they did on Roseanne a lot over the years.

I read the same.  The Spanish subtitle said "Ingeniera".

Intro was clearly Malcolm in the Middle, episode had a lot of Roseanne Halloween feels. Love how this has all built up. I'm more excited every week for the next episode.
