After the heartbreaking and almost traumatic events of Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision seems like a light at the end of the tunnel.
WandaVision is the kickoff of Marvel’s stage four of productions. It stars Wanda Maximoff and Vision, who are a big part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from their first appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The strange thing about this show is that Vision died in Avengers: Infinity War. Another unusual aspect brought into play is that each episode is a new decade and is shown in a sitcom format.
Marvel has a great way of connecting their films (in this case, show) with past films. And with this being the kickoff of phase four, the show will have many connections to future projects.
When I first started watching WandaVision, I was not a fan of Marvel films. I just thought it looked like an interesting show. But I soon realized the only way I could possibly understand every aspect of this show was if I watched the MCU movies.
The show gave me some emotions I would’ve never thought of when I first started watching. With excitement, anger, and love, I would impatiently wait every week for Friday to come.
The show had a lot of viewers making theories of what’s to come next, myself included. They had a lot of people shocked at the final episode when the majority of those theories turned out to not be true.
That made the ending a thousand times better.
Although the show is short, (having only one season and nine episodes that each run between 30 and 50 minutes) it is a masterpiece to watch. Not only that, it is a very important landmark to where Marvel is leading us.
I full-heartedly recommend this show, but I also recommend that you watch a good amount of previous MCU films (especially ones that Wanda and Vision are in) to understand what is going on.
WandaVision is one of those shows I could rewatch and never get tired of. That’s how you know Marvel did a good job.
