That episode gave a whole new meaning to expanded universe! Wonder who Rambeau and Jimmy Woo are going to see? Rumors are it will be someone from fantastic four.

Edit: Nvm, upon further review that's a Doctor Strange costume, not Gambit

Are you talking about Billy? Wanda's kids were wearing their own Young Avengers costumes. Tommy was Speed, Billy was Wiccan.

WandaVision is so good. Setting up so much. Episode 7 was excellent.

I'm through 3 episodes and I find it near unwatchable.  A couple bits of exposition surrounded by sitcom parodies that are about as awful as humanly possible.  I guess I'll stick with it since everybody seems to like it.  The exposition ramped up a little in ep 3 so hopefully that continues.

Stay the course. The only real criticism is the first couple episodes could've been combined.

Yeah I was in the same boat, carry on another and you'll be in it.

How do they resolve this in 35 minutes?   Even enough to set up Dr. Strange II?

You can tell they are undecided.   Competing Visions of how they want it to end.

The only thing that I think we can assume, is that Agatha isn't the big villain. Probably going to mirror her comic book character quite a bit.

This episode was 45 minutes. I expect the next to be closer to an hour.

50 minutes is what I read.

I thought there was 2 episodes left and after googling I see only 1. 
Lots to resolve and also leave hanging up in the air as this does tie directly into Dr. Strange 2 and Spiderman 3.

Not sure the Spidey tie-in, unless the hex grows into NYC which seems ridiculous unless she gets help from Agatha or Strange. Or Haywood does something stupid, which seems to be a minor theme of the show.

I think Strange shows up at the end of the episode to break-up some Vision on Vision violence. It'll be explained that Strange is trying to keep the multi-verse controlled and Wanda is really messing everything up. He's probably also looking for Agatha since the book of magic she stole.

When the Marvel universe started, I had no interest in Iron Man or Captain America.  Never was a comic book kid.  Now I can't wait for whatever new venture they throw our way.  It's not cinema verite but I sure do enjoy it

They're going to crossover with the old Spider-Men. Toby McGuire is bringing the Alfred Molina Doc Ock and Andrew Garfield is bringing the Jamie Foxx Electro. It's basically validating all the other movies as existing in the MCU.

More Multiverse items to go with Dr. Strange 2.

Right, not sure how it's all coming together out of WV.

I thought Vision's question, "What is grief, if not love persevering" was actually a very touching sentiment.


I am also aware that a lot of people have posting/tweeting/etc. about that quote to the point where there is now some pushback on the absurdity of looking to the MCU for profundities. I suppose I agree...but I also really liked the quote.

Series was a hit, IMO.  No great villain reveal, maybe

Swing and a miss on about 99% of all fan theories.

As I try to deal with the recent loss of my brother, I can't help but realize that this entire show was a six hour reflection on the stages of grief. As the final episode was wrapping up and I realized that Wanda had arrived at a very reluctant acceptance, I found myself struggling to avoid completely falling apart - and not entirely succeeding. And it really had nothing to do with the show...it was just a catalyst. I think I'll always remember this show for the profound theme it wrapped in a superhero wrapper. I'm not there yet, but as crazy as it seems, this show has helped.

I don't think you're crazy.

And we all know about the Theseus Ship riddle now too.

Sorry for your loss, SAW. Glad the show could help you in that way. I appreciated it most for how it was different than standard superhero fare. I think Marvel's been good at that (X/Y/Z in a superhero wrapper), but this stoo dout for its uniqueness.
