So I’m going to start a weekly MCU thread for every show/movie coming out this year. This week we’ll go over #WandaVision episodes 1&2. If you haven’t watched yet, please ignore.

SPOILERS AHEAD. If you’re not familiar with the overall premise of Wandavision, it takes place post Endgame & each episode will visit a new era in TV. So far episode 1 was influenced by the 50’s and The Dick Van Dyke Show/I Love Lucy. Episode 2 was influenced by Bewitched.

We know that this series takes place in 2023 and we’re in a 50s and 60s setting with Wanda and Vision (who is dead). Means 1 or 2 things. Wanda’s psyche is fractured after all of her loss and she’s created a new reality to cope...or Nightmare or Mephisto are influencing her.

Who are Nightmare & Mephisto? Nightmare is the ruler of the Dream Dimension & a Doctor Strange/GR Villain. He feeds off of people’s dream energy/fear. Mephisto is basically Marvel’s Devil. He’s recently been a Spider-Man Villain & he gave Johnny Blaze the Ghost Rider powers.

So why the fuck do we care about Mephisto or Nightmare? We know that Wandavision is the 1st part in a Multiverse trilogy according to Kevin Feige at Disney’s Investor Day presentation...you might ask what are the other 2 parts to that story? Spider-Man 3 and Doctor Strange 2.

At the end of Far From Home, Mysterio and JJJ dropped a dime on Spidey & revealed his secret identity. In the comics, this has happened to Peter before but he is able to reverse if in exchange for never getting his happily ever after with MJ...Mephisto is the one who reverses it.

Back to Wandavision. We know that the Multiverse is a real thing thanks to Doctor Strange 1/Endgame. However these realities are separated. Wanda is the strongest Avenger & it’s very possible by the end of WV she will have broken the separation of all those individual realities.

In comics, the most recognizable Wanda story is House of M. In that storyline, the death of her children along with Vision and some outside influences drive her crazy & she re-writes reality to where Mutants are the ruling class and humans are minority. Lots of crazy shit happens

We know that Mutants don’t exist in MCU...yet. But it’s possible that MCU introduces them via the Snap, Wanda or the Multiverse. In House of M, Wanda reverts reality back to normal but she says “No More Mutants” and basically like 99% or mutants are dead or lose their powers.

#WandaVision is planting the seeds for House Of M/Young Avengers. Wanda’s twins are members of the Young Avengers, Speed and Wiccan. The wine bottle in Episode 1 translates to House of Contempt...if we half translate it...House of M...shit getting crazy.

Episode 1’s commercial shows us how much Wanda’s psyche is influencing this reality. Some of the only color used is the red from the toaster. The toaster beeps constantly sort of like a bomb ticking away...it’s also a Stark Industries product like the bomb that killed her parents

At the End of Far From Home we saw Nick Fury in space with what looked like the S.W.O.R.D. HQ...fast forward to the end of #WandaVision and we see that someone is watching Wanda like us. The S.W.O.R.D. logo is visible on their screen and their notebook.

SWORD is basically space SHIELD. As we move into episode 2, there are some interesting connections, the biggest being Monica Rambeau. Remember the little girl from Captain Marvel? This is her on the right all grown up & she works for SWORD. How did she end up in Wanda’s reality?

So the little girl from CM is Monica Rambeau aka Photon. Her powers include transforming herself into any energy form, energy generation/absorption & moving at the speed of light. We don’t know if she has those powers in #WandaVison, but we do know that she works for S.W.O.R.D.

So remember when S.H.I.E.L.D. lost Loki’s scepter after the Battle of NY? That scepter was used to experiment on Wanda by none other than Hydra Scientist Baron Von Strücker. Wanda is remembering her time with Hydra. Notice the time on the clock and the number for their house.

In comics when Hydra fell, Strucker founded AIM which is a group of evil scientists that seek to rule the world. In MCU, we already saw AIM in Iron Man 3. In comics AIM soldiers are always shown in Beekeeper’s costumes . Notice the SWORD logo on the back of his suit.

Also don’t forget, we’ve possibly already seen AIM soldiers/tech in #TheFalconandtheWinterSoldier and #BlackWidow trailers. The paraglider suit in Falcon and the Winter Soldier and AIM is on the surgeons table in the Black Widow. Whatever it is, that Beekeeper can’t be trusted

Continuing #WandaVision , I’m stumped on why red was the only color we saw in the second episode and why it was only shown during the cut and on the toy helicopter with the S.W.O.R.D. logo on it. Everything is not as it seems.

Agnes has me perplexed. People think it’s short for Agatha Harkness. In comics she’s an ancient witch and she ends up acting as a mentor/mother figure to Wanda. However she does possess real magic and isn’t a mutant, so this might be where we see Wanda become the Scarlet Witch.

A lot of this was just general speculation and pointing out Easter Eggs. If anyone has any questions I’m happy to answer but I’ll try to stay more on topic for Episode 3. New thread or just add to this one?

Another Easter egg from episode 2 opening. In the opening, we see the villain Grim Reaper’s helmet...in the comics, his brother Wonder Man’s brain patterns are what gives Vision his personality/feelings. In the behind the scenes feature, a blurry picture of Wonder Man is seen

In Comics, Wonder Man starts as a villain &is experimented on by Strucker to gain his powers. He eventually turns good & sacrifices himself to save the Avengers. Stark saves his brain patterns & he uses that to create Vision. His brother Grim Reaper comes to hate Vision/Wanda.

I’m thinking by the end of the series it’s possible that Vision is re-born & no longer a construct in Wanda’s mind, & it’s very possible that Simon Williams aka Wonder Man is a part of that. If you missed it in the trailer, his cape is damaged just like it was in Infinity War

What else do you guys want to know about Wandavision episodes 1 &2/Spider-Man 3/Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness.

Back to Mephisto...remember Wanda’s kids we talked about earlier. In the comics since Vision can’t physically get her pregnant, Wanda actually creates her twins Billy & Tommy from pieces of Mephisto’s soul when he’s defeated...yes her children are actually part of satan’s soul.

Agnes is trouble man, I’m not digging her vibes. She knows a lot more than she’s leading on and she might be a villain in hiding. Same with Dottie. So many references to the “devil” between “devil’s in the details” and Agnes’ rabbit named Mr. Scratch (nickname for satan).

Marvel Studios is very deliberate in the information they present in trailers. This is in the Loki trailer...who does that look like to you in the background?

#WandaVision episode 3 tomorrow! Each episode covers a decade in TV so this should be the 70s episode! First episode in color and this is the last one that screened to critics. Episode 4 should be where the story starts taking off and we get into spoilery stuff.

When y’all want this episode 3 analysis?! #WandaVision

Dropping tomorrow, everyone should’ve watched by then and we letting these spoilers fly!

#WandaVision Episode 3 is a love letter to the Brady Bunch and 70s television....notice that opening though. We’ve seen Hexagons pop up in every episode and I don’t think it’s coincidental. Does it have to do with her “Hex” powers or is it a reference to bee-hives and AIM

Another good point. Vision has super speed in this reality, most likely a nod to Pietro. Vision wasn’t shown having super speed on the ground in any of his prior appearances.

When discussing names for their “child” Vision says Billy after William Shakespeare. The quote that follows is really interesting, I think Vision knows this reality is fake and Wanda stops him every time he gets closer to the truth.

That’s an awfully sinister looking book for something as joyful as pregnancy.

Vision asks the doctor if he’s still going on vacation after Wanda gives birth...it’s a bit on the nose, but the people in the town/reality are there against their will by someone.

Nice Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. call back last week on #WandaVision ! Alternate reality Coulson dropped some knowledge on us, maybe part of her experimentation at Hydra had brainwashing in it too. Release the “goddess” within, Wanda is queen bee and “god” in this reality.

Yo so #WandaVision Episode 4...Holy shit. That cold open post Endgame was INSANE! We got some really really good info from it as well. Episode 4’s first 10 minutes gives us exposition for post “blip” life and when Wandavision takes place. It’s only been 3 weeks since Hulk’s snap

Some more exposition for #WandaVision ...SWORD was founded by Monica’s mom, Maria (Captain Marvel’s bestie). Initially focused on Space but since the snap they’ve been focused on weapons, AI, Nano tech...some of their astronauts are still missing too. Possible Fantastic 4 intro?

Monica’s mom’s call sign “Photon” is also a name Monica uses as a hero in comics. Nice little Easter egg. Endgame happens in the fall of 2023, Far From Home happens in Summer of 2024. So our Multiverse trilogy should hypothetically go Wandavision, Spider-Man 3, Doctor Strange 2.

Our theory about AIM and the beekeeper was wrong (maybe not) but we know that when things/people pass into Wanda’s reality; they’re distorted to fit the era. It doesnt explain the color but at least we have some answers. Nice homage to Vision’s first appearance in Avengers 57

The characters of the show are as confused as us about the hexagonal shapes, but we’re on the right path. The prefix to Hexagon is Hex, which means to practice witchcraft. Very on the nose but I’m assuming we’ll find out meaning soon! https://twitter.com/rockbottomron/status/1353350326699651074?s=21 https://twitter.com/rockbottomron/status/1353350326699651074

Can we talk about my man Jimmy Woo! The character development with him having 5 years to perfect the magic card trick from Ant Man 2 was beautiful. I think his missing informant in Westview might prove to be someone key to the story in the coming episodes. Could it be Ralph?!

The person watching at the end of Episode 1 is Darcy Lewis from Thor! Darcy lets us know that Westview is giving off CMBR, which is energy leftover from the Big Bang. Wong explains that the Big Bang is what created the infinity stones, the same thing that activated Wanda’s powers

Yo! So #RonsMCURecap time for #WandaVision Episode 5! Spoilers ahead!

So episode 4 was wild man. But the move to split episode 50-50 was fireeeeeee. I have a feeling that’s how the rest of the season will go until the “Hex” is broken or Wanda and/or Vision end up outside of Westview. That theme song and intro were amazing! Also...BABY VISION IS GOD

Ep 5 opens up with Monica getting tested after being kicked out of Wanda’s reality. Only the tests are all messed up including an X-Ray that basically comes back blank. The question is does Monica already have powers or have they just now been activated by Wanda?

Soon after they’re basically trying to figure out how to go back in the Hex but Monica mentions contacting an Aerospace Engineer she knows...I’m thinking this could be an intro to Adam Brashear aka Blue Marvel! Marvel has wanted to use the Ultimates in the MCU for a while now

The other working theory is that it’s Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic but keep in mind this has been filming since basically 2019 well before Fantastic Four was announced. Kevin Feige is king though and I’m sure it will be important to the story regardless!

how did we get through 3 Episodes of Wanda’s broadcast and 9 days just for the SWORD director to tell us that Wanda stole Vision’s corpse Another question is why was he disassembled 5 years after Thanos killed him at the SWORD facility if he didn’t want to be brought back

SWORD director wyling sitting on that info for 3 days. Agnes is for real for real trouble. The fact that she sprayed something on the twins and then they just rapidly aged up was wild. Also her breaking the trance & wanting to “take it from the top” when Vision broke script
