WandaVision 1x4 Uncut Reaction!
Added 2021-01-29 18:09:29 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone! Happy Friday and welcome back to another episode of WandaVision. It's been a whole week since the last episode, but it's felt like forever!!! Just an FYI, the timecode on this episode starts with the Disney+ logo. So, you shouldn't be any difference in timing here.
We can't wait to read your comments and theories below!
Can we all agree we're going to get a Dr. Strange cameo? Totally calling it. I think that's who Paul Bettany was referring to in a interview where he mentioned how he got to work with an actor who he had always wanted to work with before and they have fireworks together.

Great show, and I love your comments! Totally worth the money to patronize you. ;) As for theories: I think that contrary to what Monica says towards the end, it's not "all Wanda". I suspect witches, and I could totally see Mephisto being behind this. Also I am still hopeful for a Cumberbatch cameo.

I don't know if I quite see Wanda going evil. I just see someone who is under INTENSE grief. It's clear that she's willing to do anything to keep being in a reality where Vision is alive. The thing is she didn't kill Monica. She threw her out. I can't even say how much of the house is real it looks 100% different. No modern house would look like that in Jersey. It was the Brady bunch house. At least the stairs.
If I had to guess I'm thinking Wanda and Monica go at it in an actual fight at the season's end. Both of them have lost someone to something else. Wanda to Thanos/violence and Monica to cancer.

I think they pulled it when they decided they wanted his body to be somewhere else after those 5 years. She was dusted those 5 years but his body had to have been taken somewhere.

I wonder where Vision’s body was for 5 years? Perhaps Sword had it doing “stuff” with it, Wanda went looking for it after Tony’s funeral and that’s why she had such a visceral reaction to Monica’s necklace. She seemed to flip a switch.

I am loving this show. Those first three episodes were so good because they were fully committed to the bit and we felt the darkness simmering beneath the surface. This episode was perfectly timed to give some of the backstory that a lesser show would have started off with. So glad they let it build for a for a few episodes. I do look forward to seeing what keeps happening in Wanda's micoverse.

Okay couple of random theories that may or may not work
Could the AI that SWORD has been developing lead to either Machine Man (given Monica’s ties to him in Nextwave) or the Human Robot (given Woo’s ties to him in Agents of Atlas)
Am I remembering right that the beekeeper’s name is Franklin? Because the two most important Franklins at Marvel are Franklin Richards (who he definitely isn’t) and Franklin Storm (who maybe he might possibly be?) Just a wild out there guess that could tie things to FF.
What are the odds that Simon Williams plays into Wanda resurrecting Vision somehow?

I am starting to think that there's someone hanging around that only Wanda can see. The scene where she says "You're not my neighbor...and you're definitely not my friend...you're a stranger and an outsider...and right now you're trespassing here...and I want you to leave." gave me vibes of Fight Club: "This conversation (this conversation) is over (is over)"

I'm just so happy to have the MCU back I cant wait to see what this show ends like and what they will set up for spidey and Dr strange

OK...here's a couple of observations/hunches:
- I think Wanda made a deal with the devil (Mephisto) to bring Vision back. But this deal is not without consequences (aka something to do with Billy and Tommy)
- EVERYONE seems to think Agnes is evil, but Agatha Harkness in the comics is not inherently evil, so I don't know why this is a thing. I think she sensed Wanda's meltdown and tried to help, only to get overwhelmed and consumed in this Westview spell (re: the WandaVision trailer when Vision "wakes up" Agnes and she asks: "Are you here to save us?")
- I don't know who Ralph is, but the running theory is that it's Mephisto, and Agnes is in cahoots with him. But I think maybe she's keeping "Ralph" in check somehow, or at least warding innocents away from him. Notice how whenever she brings him up, it's an insult? I don't think she's working with him.
- Finally, some of the easter eggs and fine details are amazing. Like, all the driver's licenses have expiration dates between 2024 and 2026. I love that attention to detail lol.
- When Wanda sees "dead" Vision in that little PTSD moment, did you notice the music playing was the lullaby she sang to the twins in Ep3? creepy

I actually disagree with Hector, I think Vision is back and she may have his body.

Did anyone notice after Monica blipped back, when she’s looking for her mum she bumps into a guy by the desk. She seems to get up unfazed whereas he’s quite obviously hurt to an extent. Could be a hint at her powers coming through? ( or possibly just reading into a coincidence)

So, with Adam’s point of Vision just being a corpse floating behind Wanda, there is an interview where Paul Bettany said that Endgame was going to have a post credit scene but Fiege pulled off before filming. It was suppose to show Wanda opening up a body bag with Vision inside.

Great reaction, you guys. Easily, my favorite episode so far. That part when Monica and the Director of SWORD are discussing “the numbers for the Astronaut Training Program...” Possible Fantastic 4 tie-in? Is this how F4 will be introduced to the MCU?
Also, I agree that Wanda is manipulating Vision’s corpse with her powers. It makes sense. At first, I thought Vision was just a mental projection created by Wanda’s powers (and possibly, the mind stone) but after using her powers to eject Monica from the “Town of M,” I think for that moment Wanda was becoming cognizant of her actual reality which made her drop her guard and caused her to see the reality of Vision’s state and she quickly reverted back into “her reality” and Vis looked normal again. Agnes HAS to be Agatha! Her pin matches that from the comic Agatha. Plus, she was the only person on the white board that was not focused on. Again, such a great episode. My head’s full of questions.

That grimace of Vision's at the end. He 100% knows something is wrong and is playing along now. And Wanda doesn't know that he's questioning things so she doesn't roll him back.

This is def the best and mindbonkers episode they made so far. Now that i watch it twice, with u guys, i feel like maybe Vision himself in this reality made by Wanda, could be Wanda's own inner heart, just saying she doesn't need to do this whole thing. Vision on some scenes somehow always be the source of wisdom, but Wanda isn't ready for it yet, for her reality to be breached. Overall, i can't wait for the next episode. This is tortureeeeee!!!

There was no Dottie dossier either.. remember she’s key to everything in Westview or whatever Agnes told Wanda. No ID for Agnes, no dossier for Dottie yet. Hm.

A friend and I were talking about this very idea! How to convince her that they had to return the Stones to their timelines? If you have a time machine, why can't we keep the Mind Stone for a few days, take Vision's body to Wakanda, etc. She seemed fairly calm with Clint after the funeral, so *something* happened afterward that caused her to break in her grief.

From outright horror and tragedy to pure confusion and comedy. Any and all happened, I'm sure! A family reappears in their living room in front of the people who bought the house after the snap. A guy reappears in his bedroom to find his wife and her new husband.
Yeah, ew... how many millions of people are speeding down highways at any given moment? They vanish, millions of cars crash all over the world, and then five years later millions of shocked people skid across pavement at 70mph.
The only saving grace to this horrific conjecture is that Professor Hulk would've thought of this and made the provisio: bring everybody back, but bring them back safely. The time it took for him to snap after putting on the nano-gauntlet was probably when he was sorting everything out in his mind to be absolutely sure it was the best snap it could be, including trying to bring back Nat. I wondered if some of the pain he endured was from trying to break the Soul Stone rule.

First off, this was the first time I've synched a video to a commentary, and it was sensational. I watched it alone this afternoon. Watching it with virtual hosts/buds was the best!
Can we just take a moment to recognize that in this episode we saw the convergence of four MCU franchises? This was like the Avengers: Assemble for side characters:
Darcy (Thor 1&2), Jimmy Woo (Ant-Man and the Wasp), and Monica (Captain Marvel) coming together to investigate two Avengers (Ultron-Endgame) that they've never interacted with as far as we've seen in the MCU. That's ASTOUNDING, and I want to be sure we don't skip that fact or take it for granted. They're simultaneously bringing the universe together and blowing it apart.
The nods to cosmic energy make me wonder if Wanda's connection with the Mind Stone was somehow expanded to the other Stones because of the three snaps — she was in close proximity to two of them, when all six stones were used together. Maybe that's what tore open her powers. I'm guessing she was grieving and even inadvertently started transforming the world around her, and it grew into this new pocket universe/dimension.
A friend of mind guessed that there might've been friction between her and the team when they explained that the Stones had to be returned to when they were taken. "You have the Mind Stone! The Time Stone! Can't we use them to save Vision? Take him back to Shuri in Wakanda... something, anything!" That wouldn't have gone over well if they refused her.
Question: Do you think they'll use WandaVision to introduce the concept of mutants in the MCU? They have to be thinking of ways to plant that seed. When von Strucker was experimenting on them, they mentioned that the twins were the only ones to survive, right? They could establish that they survived because they had the mutant gene...

I think my favourite episode SO far, and definitely my favourite reaction you guys have done, all being fresh to the new content too. I was like OMFG for the majority of the episode. SO much for me to unpack from this for my episode 4 discussion on my channel

The Resnap seems like it could be absolutely horrifying. Remember the helicopter that crashed post credits of IW? How many people were snapped from there before it crashed? How many people the world over were snapped while flying in planes, sailing, or even just driving down the street?

I agree with Hector, that opening was so dope because it is really epic and surprising that Marvel started us off there. So unexpected but so good.
I'm really excited to see how it goes because there is so many questions as to how we went from the scene with Hawkeye at the end of Endgame to the beginning of WandaVision. Was it the debriefing of everything that triggered her to snap? Did she have a conversation with Shuri after Tony's funeral that set her off?
She killed Vision, and then comes back for Thanos to kill him. She gets snapped. Suddenly she is back and fighting Thanos, who in her mind had just killed Vision and has to cope with that trauma, and then Tony dies and it's likely that they were all debriefed after... But so many questions as to how.

Wanda wouldn't have had time. We see all the stones in the brief case just before Cap steps onto the platform and goes to return them. He would have come back for it had he noticed the Mind Stone was missing on his journey.

You missed the remark a the start of the episode saying it's only 3 weeks after everyone is snapped back, which means that Wando probably got to Westfield just after Tony's funeral/memorial...which also means that the mind Stone and all of the other Infinity Stones are probably still on Earth as Cap hasn't taken them back...what if Wanda has stolen the Mind Stone?

This episode was bonkers. I could totally see Wanda becoming the villain and assuming the role of the scarlet witch. I don’t think it’s Vision’s corpse following her around, but I do think she did something with it, which is creepy AF. The fact that the perimeter around the town is an hexagon will be important. When Ultron took the mind stone from Loki’s scepter it was oddly shaped, but when Vision became one with it, it had six sides (not equally distanced like an hexagon), so I think that’s telling.

Yeah, we didn’t have the option on the first three because they were screeners from disney.

They don't mention the bee keeper because Wanda didn't broadcast it. And its amazing that the jumprope and Monica's wardrobe made it out into the real world.

She does look like the villain, but there may be something else...
I wonder why send a TV broadcast? Wouldn't that be a cry for help?
