WandaVision

Synopsis

Watch Wanda and Vision in a classic sitcom style TV show covering multiple decades. However, the town seems to hiding something from them, but they can't put it together as strange things happen.

Review

This show is so unbelievably underrated. I really think that it speaks to the more human element of what happened after the events of Avengers Endgame. We get to see both sides from the superhero side and then the more human perspective. I really appreciate the animosity and anger the ones that were left behind show toward those that got dusted. It creates some interesting dynamics between the two sets of people.

With all of that, the story really has nothing to do with that. It is a story about coming to terms with grief, wrapped in this popular sitcom trope. You follow Wanda after losing Vision and her brother and she is just trying to process that loss in a world where her future isn't what she thought it would be. I think the sitcom trope is one of my favorite things about this show. I grew up watching Nick at Night with my Mom and Dad as I was growing up. At the time it would show "I Love Lucy" which is really where this starts. It plays through so much that really feel that she is part of those shows.

The final culmination of events is where you lose me. The threat from the beginning was a mystery, but the last episode or 2 leaving so many questions about how did people fight the mind control? How did no one had an issue with creating a robot that targeted a human and only a human? All of this happens in the last 2 episodes so all the work previously setup in the show just feels forgotten.

My Rating

I think the show is very well done. I really enjoy Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as a dynamic duo. They work so well together and I think there characters are my favorite couple in the MCU, not that it matters, but theirs's feels the most real. I think the setup for Agatha All Along is outstanding. This is a fun show that has a ton of weight that you just don't expect from the first MCU show. If only the rest followed this path, and didn't take a dive off a cliff into Ironheart. This is an 8.

Parental Rating

No language. Classic and calm episodes. The sex is the same as the classic 50s TV shows so you aren't getting much. I think from content perspective, they'd be in until the last 2 episodes with witches and robots. From a rule perspective, approved by both which is surprising.
