WandaVision 1x3 - Poll!

I get the feeling that there are agents in there that know what's going on, while other's don't. Perhaps based on clearance level. Then again this show is so unpredictable so I'm not sold on anything exactly

Darius The Great

I don't think they are agents, in fact, I'm going with the idea that they are all people with Magic, Agnes is Agatha Harkness and Herb is Herbert Wyndham aka The High Evolutionary, and Dottie being Arcana.

Ryan Witalison

Skrulls

Gavin Hardiman

I hope its both, otherwise Phil Jones (the amazing mustache guy) being a voluntary agent is having a terrible time at work being called a communist, losing his grandmother's piano, and having a wife he doesn't seem to enjoy.

GoodAsGo1d

Some are innocent civilians from the town that Wanda has taken over, while some others are either agents like Geraldine (Monica) or working for someone else like Agnes.

Neither. I think they definitely know what’s going on but I don’t think they’re necessarily in on it. By the way, I don’t think I’ve heard you guys bring this up so just thought I’d remind you that when the actress that play’s “Geraldine” was announced it was stated that she would be playing Monica Rambeau, aka the little girl from the Captain Marvel movie and a previous Captain Marvel in the comics.

I think they are Innocent agents

salman

What I'm saying is that Agnes Herb, and all the rest were once like Wanda: powerful beings that were tricked into using their abilities to serve a greater evil, but now that they've served their purpose, they are used as pawns in a staging area as a trap for future victims. If the bad guys get there way, Wanda will join them on their next dimension hopping hellscape adventure

I vote neither. I think most of them are trapped there, but I like the idea of there being some kind of as of yet unknown third party (Mephisto possibly?) that is collecting prisoners from multiple dimensions and Westview is just the latest in a long line of staging areas used to mess with specific targets, in this case Wanda.

I think they're all witches who are trapped as well.

Grant Lawson

Wanda made a deal with the devil to get the life she wanted with Vision. Agnes is Mephisto‘s agent orchestrating this pocket of reality. SWORD agents are real people trying to break in. I’m guessing everyone else is dead and from Wanda’s past. -Maybe the Hart’s or Phil&Dottie were her parents? -Maybe Herb was a Lagos, Nigerian man that she accidentally killed inCivil War” -Maybe Dr Nielsen was a Hydra doctor from the Sokovia base? At comic con and D23 they revealed Teyonah Parris is the adult version of Monica Rambeau, whom was just ejected as “Geraldine”. We also haven’t yet seen other actors/characters confirmed at D23.

Which then in her universe it sprouts the connection for the Disney X-Men series or the Fantastic 4.

Andrew Traxler

I think this series is a direct link to the SNAP, where this is Wanda insulating herself after she was killed. Where she can come back in the multiverse. Her produced reality for Vision is what also brings him back.

Andrew Traxler

I think they're is a mix of more than just those two. I think Geraldine was part of sword trying to get her to remember but stopped when she saw wanda getting upset and in the second episode vision called one of the towns member a communist and didn't seem to be joking so maybe that was a hint of another faction. Some might be civilians. But I thought Herb was a bout to say they were all dead including vision. Maybe wanda resurrected more people to make a whole town, probably not. And I have no idea were Agnes stands so that might be another group.

BigSteve Kasten

I think with the doctor saying escape, they are innocent civilians trapped.

Matthew

YESS I agree with this based on the trailer when Agnes tells Vision he’s dead. And in the episode I think what Herb was trying to tell Vision is “because we’re all dead”, it would so fit the whole Truman Show/Twilight Show psychological thriller vibes

master_octagon

I would like to post a theory about the ads: We are looking at adds in the chronological order of Wanda's trauma, first her parents are killed by the stark bomb. Them she was experimented on by Strucker. The add for episode 3 is talking about taking someone away to a place in their mind. It is also displaying a hydra symbol. This was what Wanda did during her time working for Hydra before Age of Ultron, and her time working with Ultron, in that movie she messed the Avengers up, putting them in mental torture. She is traumatized by this, I would be if I tortured my friends and worked with people who destroyed my home town.

Emu Parade

FYI: In the MCU, S.W.O.R.D. stands for "Sentient Weapons Observation and Response Department". Makes more sense considering Wanda is, like Tony said, a "weapon of mass destruction" in Civil War.

Morgan Allen

I think some are constructs and other are real people forced into the roles they’re playing without them knowing it

At least I think it's save to assume, that Agnes is Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch, also her sons name is the same of the rabbit from Agnes; Scratch. And there are other hints for Agnes = Agatha.

Ethaya

HYDRA!!!!

Longway

I highly doubt that

James Miller

I don't think they're Sword agents, or atleast I don't think Agnes is. Herb kept looking at her nervously when talking to Vision, I think she has more control then we think. I'm also wondering if she convinced Wanda to make this world without telling her that these were real people she was trapping.

Rae

What if it is AIM and they are using the Cosmic cube on Wanda? Maybe Wanda started the reality and can control it, but they used the cube to trap her so she can't escape it? Maybe they are the reason Wanda sees SWORD as a threat and makes her want to protect herself? Also, in the comics Wanda used her reality-warping powers to create twin sons, unknowingly using two scattered fragments of the soul of Mephisto...what if AIM, or whoever is behind this, wants to have him "return" and they believe Wanda is the only one who can do it? Oooo! What if we've already seen Mephisto? They are pointing him to be Agnes' husband, but what if that's a fake-out and Agnes is the real villain and she's trying to be freed into the real world? And the possibility of her turning Villain is so high after everything that's happened to her. In the comics, she blamed the Avengers for the death of her children (Though Doom was controlling her) and she ended up attacking and killing (or presume to have killed) three of the avengers (Vision, Hawkeye, and Ant-man), and Doctor Strange had to stop her. Oh!! Maybe HYDRA knew the extent of her powers and wanted to control her and implanted something in her to compress her powers (similar to what happened with Carol), that's why her reality powers are limited to the bubble around the town? ahh, I have so many thoughts...

Shay-Thelogicaldreamer

This show is fucked, I thought I had a good theory, then one episode turned everything around, so I now vote for all of the above. Everything means everything. Life is pointless. Were all gonna die.

C-Dubble

Agnes and Herb definitely know what’s going on. They were both talking about the same thing and Agnes knew what he was gonna say to Vision. Also Agnes is too involved with Wanda’s life to just be a random person.

Janaya

I think most of them are innocent civilians. The civilians know what is going on and Vision is the only one that has no clue. Maybe we have one of the civilians (maybe Agnes) as a Villain, that is not with S.W.O.R.D. and has her own agenda. She might manipulate Wanda to get what they want.

Red Claw

I think that every townsperson is dead and that Westview is more of a cementary outside of Wanda/Mephisto's magic. It would explain why Vision is alive and why the townspeople can not "escape". Mephisto is using the souls at his disposal to keep Wanda in her dream world long enough for her children to grow up and become strong enough to be useful to him. This is assuming that Mephisto is even a part of the plot (Though I am 99% sure that he is!)

My two main theories are- 1. Everyone is an innocent caught up in Wanda's magic. Or 2. Everyone is innocent except Agnes, and Ralph is the real manipulator behind everything. Either way I feel Wanda is being manipulated by a third party, largely because I doubt they'd make Wanda a villain by herself.

Adam Burt

After watching this most recent episode a few times, I am back to my original thinking of it being a similar premise to the "Star Trek TNG: Clues" episode. I love that it has me unsure, though, and it is doing well in alluding its overall mystery.

Angel Groves

I think Wanda created a pocket reality where people are raised from the dead, with the goal of reviving Vision. But since Wanda cannot actually bring him back to life, she has chosen to stay in this reality. Any attempt to break the reality (i.e. the sewer bee keeper, Vision questioning, Geraldine bring up memories from her past) and Wanda quickly adjusts the reality to keep her ideal life (inspired by shows she watches as a kid). So in this reality, Vision and everyone there is "trapped," because if they leave, they die. Some are aware of their predicament, and some are not, including Vision. With the exception of Geraldine, who arrived by helicopter (and Wanda's reality changed into a toy) with the goal of trying to break Wanda out of the reality before the reality does damage to the real world. She did this by waiting until Wanda flashed back to something from the real world, and attempted to break the reality by continuing the conversation and mentioning Ultron. SWORD appeared to monitor and guard the reality bubble, much like how shield guarded and protected Thor's Hammer when it landed in the desert in Thor 1.

I say both. We can tell some people are able to "break" character and others seem to just keep going like nothing crazy happened.

SPARTAN 465

Pretty sure Vision answered your question in the episode. "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players"

Erich Bomke

This totally feels like we are getting a Under the Dome/Annihilation set up here. And that maybe Wanda and Visions "house" is at the center of this.

Erich Bomke

clearly theyre all people who owe some debt to Mojo and are being forced to participate to pay off what they owe him ;)

KuroOberon

Is there a chance we might see Hawkeye in this show him and Wanda had a connection

What if they're using some Stark Technology like BARF from Civil war in tandem with Scarlets powers

saul™

You see it. It is plain as day what is going on here. They are BWI

Maxxman

With all the talking about the products in the commercials, I feel like another obvious question is being lost: who the hell are these two people who keep appearing in the commercials? Are they maybe Wanda’s parents?

Rakoon Shampoo

Is there some sort of road map to the disney+ marvel shows story? The show is cool and I have no idea were the story is going if we find hidden clues about where Wanda is, that keeps me watching.

Chase Gardner

I think it’s a mix of civilian, agent, & villain. Let’s be real, I feel like Kathryn Hahn is too big of an actress to just be a civilian. I feel like Geraldine is the only SWORD agent & Kathryn Hahn is the bad guy that Geraldine was sent in to stop.

Jordan Malloy

I think some were accidentally caught up in Wanda’s dream, some voluntarily went in with Sword, and some have more nefarious purposes

Christian Bolda

I think that she started messing up reality in that town so SWORD put up a barrier to contain her power, stop it from spreading too far. That's why all the static. So the neighbors are civilians who just can't escape.

In the comics, Billy and Tommy are Wiccan and Speed. They both come into existence after Wanda uses a hex to conjure them (just like the show). Mephisto plays a big role in their coming to existence in the comics, which is why I think he is the one pulling the strings on Wanda, and the SWORD agents are the ones trying to get Wanda to come back to reality.

Christian Alonte

They are all civilians except the neighbor character I think

DC Fanboy

I bet it's a normal town that Wanda shanghaied for herself, then SWORD sent in some of their agents, including "Geraldine". BTW, in the comics Tommy and Billy grow up to become Speed and Wiccan, inheriting Pietro and Wanda's powers respectively. The accelerated pregnancy and the reality warping (i.e. the coat changing then disappearing) could be their powers manifesting from the womb.

The Dorf

I’m calling this now, SWORD was trying to pull a SHIELD on Wanda (like the end of Captain America 1) except they underestimated her. The babies and Vision are illusions. Everyone is an agent. Geraldine was sent in to help but got kicked out. *sits back* now only the truth can thwart me now. :)

Cal

I think this was a normal town, Wanda moved in to escape her 'superhero life' and try to have a regular time. And then another agency ( be it bureaucratical or supernatural ) has manipulated her into creating this 'bubble reality'. So there are citizens who are innocents who lived there before, such as Bev or the doctor and his wife. But there are others such as possibly Agnes ,amongst others, who have their own agenda.

Knockoffnigel72

At the end when Sheryl dean get kicked out, you can see the town in the background with lights on, so before she did this, it was a normal neighborhood.

Probably Geraldine was the first one who went into the 'dome'(the bubble?!). Every one else in town are just normal citizens. Maybe except for Agness, she's like Mephisto's acolyte or something like that. Maybe now Sword will sent more agents into Westview. And I don't think anything in this show has to do anything with space. Since MCU films never acknowledged Agents of Shield tv series. I think that SWORD is just a new SHIELD and not the space based branch like it's in comics. In the MCU films SHIELD was disbanded after Winter Soldier. So maybe the government or Nick Fury or whoever just created a new organization and called it S.W.O.R.D. and the letters stand for something different.

ForeverLannister

I think it's both because I believe some of the agents are remembering what's going on and why they're there and then you have the citizens where they don't remember anything and going with the flow of it all. BUT IF JONES IS AN AGENT, I WILL BE HAPPY BECAUSE JONES IS THAT GUY!!

Tyler Jackson

I think Geraldine was the only agent everyone else are prisoners but I think Agnes is there on purpose

Prince of Za Waurdo Over Salmon

I believe that they are agents being forced to participate in acting as the couple's neighbors and close friends, so they can make sure that the two don't get suspicious about where they are, and who's controlling them. I also feel like Geraldine is maybe the black sheep of the agency, and wants to try and help Wanda, but knows she can't.

MarkIsDaBoss

I voted neither, I know for a fact that the BW Irregulars are behind this, all of them are irregulars

pong191

Anybody else think this could be like Pleasant Hill from Avengers: Standoff? Possibly using Wanda like the sentient cosmic cube to control the town? Might not be directly related to this, but maybe in the Doctor Strange movie, Wanda or somebody could turn Cap into young Hydra Cap like at the end of Standoff? Wouldn’t be surprised with the recent rumors of Chris Evans returning to the role

Patrick

I think the majority are either innocent civilians or completely made up from scratch. But there's at least a couple people who entered on purpose, including Monica Rambeau.

I think that since SWORD in the MCU appears to be based around Sentient Weapons rather than Sentient Worlds (outer space) in the comics, that they are focusing more on what could eventually be known as mutants. With regards to the inhabitants of Westview, it's possible there are agents as well as other potential Sentient Weapons. Although how much information is retained by those in the sitcom at any one time could depend on how much Wanda lets her guard down and actively remembers past events in her life and the MCU.

Grant Wilson

It seems like she rolled up on a town and then a couple of SWORD agents went in after

Dr. Bobcat

I don’t think there is a villain group. I think this is the MCU doing House of M and Wanda is the true villain.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

I feel like they have been chosen and put into this reality, making it like the Truman show. Either by Wanda or something else.

KieranT

I think we wanted to say they were trapped. The doctor made reference to not being able to escape small towns. I think Wanda is going full house of m and trapped the citizens of Westview into this reality she has created.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

No one is manipulating Wanda. This is Wanda going House of M. That is obvious.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

No.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

They are innocent civilians that Wanda has trapped in her reality. This is Wanda doing full House of M.

Darth Kal-El (Cory Weston)

I think mostly citizens with a few sword agents

Deadpool

Both! Some are aware and suspect as hell, others are completely unaware of what's going on

Anthia Grant

Did anyone else notice my man trimming the hedges cutting the brick into what looked like a sword

Kyle O'Sullivan

I think most are citizens and agents but one is a spy for a villain group

spencer

Innocent civilians caught in Wanda's illusionary dream, and the occasional sword agent sent in and caught in the sorcery too. Wanda only aware of the dream but mostly in her defensive subconscious.

Barry

I believe, the ones who are playing along are innocent, and the ones who keep breaking the reality are sword agents who are trying to figure out what’s going on and then get stuck in the weird reality.

I think they are people who died I have no explanation just a weird feeling like the guy cutting the hedge wanted to say we're dead

DeusDeorum

I think some are trapped civilians or perhaps sword agents who got trapped and some like agnes are manipulating wanda in some way

Adam Jones

and Agents from different groups, maybe both Shield, Hydra and Sword

Yil

There's only one reason I believe these agents/citizens would sign up to this possible test (Flash Villain Voice) MONEY!!!$$$$

Joel

Definitely think it’s a mix of both

ChaseNE

I think they are voluntary agents, but not for SWORD, more likely for something like Hydra or AIM

Charlie James Verey

They know what they are supposed to do and what they mustn't do. They can't be innocent civilians. Maybe Agents accidentally trapped.

Yil

I think they are just people from that town and wanda has just taken over it somehow and sword is outside trying to break in to help
