Η Γουάντα Μάξιμοφ και ο Βίζιον -δύο υπερδύναμα όντα που ζουν μια ιδανική ζωή στα προάστια- αρχίζουν να υποπτεύονται πως τίποτα δεν είναι όπως φαίνεται.
So many missed opportunities in this series makes for a disappointing watch, although the series does end on a higher note. The premise is sound - a powerful mutant (oh, were not allowed to use that word) - sorry, witch, is grieving for her love and reverts to what she thinks is the idealised family - based on TV sitcoms. Here you could do so much - an episode per decade (nup, some are randomly skipped), add in creepy themes (this is started, but never really done well), expound on the puppet-master theme, explore grieving, or having a family as a Supe, or trying to be normal. You could mash up the Truman Show with Pleasantville and the Incredibles with a touch of the Stepford Wives (and even have them caused by the antagonist of the series to either try to gain a friend, or to unnerve and outdo Wanda - seriously, is the antagonist just evil with no human desires?). But we got this average slump of a series which wants to be more...a whole lot more. Plusses - Olsen and Bettany are on form and seem to relish the increased screen time for the characters - their magic show is a highlight of the droll early episodes. The minor cast are great too with Caulfield and Hahn being highlights. Remarkably, Dennings is held back which (compared to her last showing in the Dark World) we are all thankful for. And the set design and score are masterful showing true homage to the shows that came before. Negatives - Besides the aforementioned lost opportunities, there is an added plot about the military which was not needed (could have just had this set in Wandas head and expounded more on the creepiness of this concept). Canned laughter is over used to the extreme - none of the shows referenced used it that much, and this is not even a plot point to signify that something is wrong with the world. Characters appear and disappear and are not followed up on, nor is there explanation given as to why (eg Quicksilver). And consequences have no place here. In such a hyped up show, I was expecting more than this droll output which fails to shine despite the best intentions of Bettany, Olsen and the cast. My hopes for something outstandingly creepy or scary from the next Dr Strange movie are now definitely lessened.
_WandaVision_ is a fairly standard MCU entry disguised as a unique MCU entry, and its biggest problem is a lack of commitment to the bit. The eerie set-up of an idealistic, suburban rom com used as a false life for Wanda to live is genius(!!) and deserves **so** much better than being knocked to the curb by the final few episodes in exchange for more bland concepts. The scattered focus with all the characters means that not one idea really gets as much development as you would hope, which is especially prevalent once the whole thing wraps up. By the time you really get a grasp of the true extent of Wandas struggle, youre pretty much at the final episode, and the established style through TV shows of the era is absent. Its too bad, because I didnt really dislike any of the plot threads either, they just sort of come and go? I think Darcy Lewis adds plenty to the series, but there needed to be more of her to prevent her from just seeming like a front for a boatload of exposition. Jimmy Woo is **always** a treat, but I dont know why his run-in with the surprise antagonist was made out to be as big a deal as it was when its really only a temporary inconvenience that adds nothing to anything? Wandas entanglements go all over the place, from memories of her husband, her brother, to even her desire for kids. Its a lot to tackle, and I just dont think the writers stuck the landing. The measures Wanda takes for sake of conformity and repression of her past were such strong themes that for a second I thought the series was going to commit to making her the antagonist, which wouldve been a cool inversion of the hero in comparison to where she was before. This angle couldve also helped emphasize the true damage that can come from acting on your grief with no rhyme or reason. The bittersweet peaks of the show between the two title characters are powerful when done right, and sometimes even made me want to bat an 8/10 for the show. Unfortunately, everything I mentioned with Wanda is scrapped for another surprise twist villain instead, and the finale just turns into every Marvel fight ever, so no, the show did not end up meeting its own goals. Overall a kind of cool experience, but I already cant remember half the characters or episodes, so I dont think this will be sticking with me for very long. Im really happy the MCU is transitioning into TV shows for what thats worth.
Great start to the Disney+ MCU TV Shows. Really different from the rest of the MCU in the structure of sitcoms and TV dramas. The episodic nature really brought fun fan theories and conjecture to the show week after week that really made the show way more enjoyable as a fan. Great set up for the Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. **Verdict** _Great_
This was perfection. Way to tell a unresolved story that needed resolving. Heartbreaking but fun. Recommend to ALL Marvel fans. Wanda was never a character I cared for or really wanted to explore beyond the basics. However, thanks to this show, I absolutely love Wanda. I feel like most of us can relate to her in not wanting to let go of someone you love ... And you go so far as to wrap them in this bubble in your mind/heart. Every person in this series delivered PERFECTION. Elizabeth Olsen is superb.
