Wandavision Episode 8 | Full Length Commentary
Added 2022-10-06 03:26:17 +0000 UTCJUST A HEADS UP GUYS, I DID NOT WATCH THE END CREDIT SCENE ON CAMERA (I recorded the last few episodes at the same time and didn't look out for them but I looked out for it in Episode 9 so don't worry!! And I have watched the others on my own time, just not on camera!!! Sorry about that!!!
I LOVED this episode and it really makes you feel for Wanda.. I love how they portrayed her story and really let us get to know her, and why she is the way she is - and why she holds Vision so dearly. It's a really heartbreaking episode but it was done very well. Thank you guys for watching :) I hope you all enjoy!!

2022-11-12 04:43:41 +0000 UTCi love this reaction so much! you're one of my favourite reactors because you always show so much empathy and genuine emotions which make it so relatable and easy to connect with you through these reactions. Especially in this episode i loved how you just understood all of Wanda's feelings and motives so easily. It's a really touching episode and so was the reaction as well. Glad I rejoined Patreon for this, always happy to support you!

2022-10-07 02:01:58 +0000 UTCIn the comics, Agatha Harkness is Wanda's teacher, her mentor. What they are implying is that Wanda and Pietro did have innate powers that the Mind stone wakened and amplified. So yes, they do hint at the survival instinct of Wanda's to impulsively casting a probability Hex on the bomb so that it wouldn't explode; the probability that every munition has of being a dud. Proof of it? nah, lol, just hinting. I feel most people missed the real point of this show and how dangerous Wanda is; to everyone and herself. Wanda has the power to do whatever she wants. Where we fantasize about a million things, Wanda gets to live the fantasy...at the expense of those that are being forced to fulfill her fantasy. When you live in a fantasy, you can't heal or grow or realize how wrong you have been in life about the things you dreamed of as a child. Plus, fantasies get stale, they are suppose to so you can move on to something else. But those that are capable of living in a fantasy life end up never growing up. They stay, mentally, as a spoiled or angry child. Where the rest of us are prevented by simple limitations, Wanda's impulses can be satisfied by will. Having this power will never allow Wanda to think about the bigger picture, ever; only her wants. It will always be a selfish point of view, forever. No one will ever be able to talk sense to someone like this except those that knew her before she realized how powerful she is, most of which are dead now. She will never be able to choose right from wrong for herself or others effected by her choices because she can do whatever she wants, nothing prevents her from anything. She will feel that making a 'right' decision is suppose to earn her a reward in brownie points or respect. But, as most of us know, it doesn't and won't. At least not among humans. She is too powerful to live as a human, now. And she will never want to stop having her human fantasy because she can't grow or heal enough in order to realize that. That is the danger Agatha is talking about. Wanda hasn't realized this, can't realize this because she is consumed by grief. When consumed by grief, you just seek to satisfy those impulses that bring instant gratification/pleasure. She created children under the belief that all her and Vision need is children to force them to being a family. Grief encourages desperation. Desperation leads to impulsive decisions. The kind of decisions that enslave a town against its will so Wanda can have the illusion of happiness. It is massively tragic without a answer. What is even more tragic, is her story isn't over yet.

Wanda needed to reexperience her trauma, as do all who suffer from it. The only way forward is back, as she said. Wanda didn't even mean to create the Hex, her grief was so intense she exploded in her pain and unknowingly enslaved an entire town. Chaos Magic is a magic that can completely warp and shape reality. As we've seen, Wanda is very powerful. Wanda did have powers as a child. That means she didn't just get them from the Mind Stone. It enhanced her power exponentially, but she was already gifted with magic. Spoiler for comics* In the comics, Wanda is actually a mutant. Thats why she has had powers since she was a kid. She's also the daughter of Magneto in the comics lol 😅 and that is her alter ego. The Scarlet Witch. Super powerful, like universally one of the strongest characters in all of Marvel. Hopefully you watched both end credit scenes in the finale if you recorded it already. I'll make sure to say earlier what episodes of shows have end scenes 😅 See you next time Vee! ❤

2022-10-06 11:11:49 +0000 UTCSo glad you experienced this episode as emotionally and deeply as I did. As a kid who grew up on television using it to escape from parental trauma/fighting resulting in divorce when I was 7 (Saved By The Bell, TMNT), my father's death when I was 13, then being a loner romantic with 1 friend as a teen(Boy Meets World),, and as an adult using movies to escape from depression and my mother's fighting and eventual separation from my stepdad, then HIS subsequent passing away, I can relate to Wanda's emotional states a lot. The "It's just gonna drown me" metaphor is real. As well as from her being a lone mom caring for her two kids(as my mom was for period of time). We watch television as a kid so much wanting the lives we'd prefer.

2022-10-06 06:49:41 +0000 UTCYour reactions to this episode were worth the wait. This episode was truly a triumph of storytelling, of all the WTF moments and craziness that this season was through. It’s hard to believe that the first Marvel TV series (for Disney+) was this unconventional masterpiece. Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn were pure gold, and it gives us that incredible, momentuos, devestating line “What is grief if not love persevering?” One tiny detail I have to point out: after we find out that Wanda made the Hex and her Vision…we see Kathryn clapping from bleachers, and we see the 50’s style house as a sound stage…that was the real soundstage, and they filmed few episodes were done with a real live audience sitting in those seats, as you can see below. It’s such a tiny and ridiculously meta moment…I love this show so much. https://youtu.be/RpzqDoEHS08

2022-10-06 05:10:25 +0000 UTCNo worries. The Disney plus shows are inconsistent on what episodes will have end credit scenes. You just need to appoint an MCU assistant who can give you heads up when diving into the new shows and movies lol
