The slow dissolution of the integrity of the construction/fantasy of nuclear family in both reality and culture is paralleled by Wanda's loss of control in maintaining said illusion. The central theme/arc of @wandavision is a meta-commentary on this collapse. In this thread 1/267

-- establishing Hayward as the metaphor for the patriarchy, enraged at Wanda's (women's) agency and "change" of reality, even as Wanda is in theory struggling -- 72/267

-- Monica Rambeau, Jimmy Woo, and Darcy Lewis as stand-ins for the disruptive force of the African American experience, the immigrant identity and white educated feminism attempting to both break the destructive bonds of the constructed reality Wanda is trapped within -- 103/267

-- Vision assumes the problem is with Wanda but is unaware he himself, the *literal* stand-in for the image of manhood propagated by American hyper-reality, is dead, indeed the entire illusion of the "nuclear family" can only be maintained by "women's (Wanda's) work" -- 117/267

-- would argue Vision-as-masculinity that is a *literal construction* of rampant American capitalism (Stark) married to an Eastern European (Communist) Wanda who emerges, liberated, during the same episode in which the TV sitcom frame is set in the 80's -- 160/267

-- which is why we can only conclude Kathryn Hahn is playing the beloved but often underutilized Marvel villain, Jean Baudrillard. 267/267
