NOTE: THIS publish consists of huge SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 9 OF WANDAVISION. DO yourself A favor as well as enjoy IT very first before reading THIS POST.
This morning the curtain lastly closed on the very first (and perhaps only?) season of WandaVision. We were treated to the final thought of marvel Studios’ very first attempt at unraveling a superhero-villain storyline in episodic fashion.
As is true with a lot of finales, a number of key questions were answered. several more were either introduced or left unanswered as we wait to see exactly how the final thought of this story ties into Dr. odd as well as the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man: No way Home, as well as other marvel projects that were hinted at in this episode.
Where does the MCU pivot now as well as where do comic book fans go from here? What clues can we grasp onto that will point us in the direction where these characters are headed? Let’s dive in to see where things may be going now that WandaVision has concluded.
“The world You Made will always Be Broken…Just like You”
In the end, this was a story about sacrifice, grief, as well as trauma. when once again we see Wanda in an impossible situation, however she takes the hero fork in the road when she makes a decision to free the people of Westview even when she knows it indicates losing whatever she loves all over again. There is perhaps no more tragic figure in the MCU than Wanda Maximoff. After she turned the world upside down when she lost Vision for a second time, there’s no telling where her despair as well as emotion will take her.
But as much as an emotional gut-punch this episode was, there are definitely many fans as well as speculators out there who left feeling let down by the lack of a massive, jump-out-of-your-seat reveal. There was no Mephisto, no X-Men, no mutants, no Sony universe crossover. No Reed Richards or Blue Marvel, no Dr. Strange, no real indicator of an overarching “big bad” at all.
I’m sure there are many who were holding those books – or who invested in those keys like Silver Surfer #3 or West coastline Avengers #45 – based on fan theories as well as rumors that are now disappointed.
But it’s clear the writers as well as producers wanted to tell a Wanda as well as Vision story. They only supplemented it with the complementary pieces necessary to tell that story.
“You Fought For it all only To lose It Again”
If you came into the finale trying to find dispute as well as action, you are likely very pleased with what you saw. We had Wanda vs. Agatha Harkless. Mind stone Vision vs. White Vision. Tommy as well as Billy vs. SWORD. Monica “Photon” Rambeau as well as her sweet new energy-body vs. incoming bullets. Darcy’s ice cream truck vs. Hayward’s armored automobile (clear advantage to Darcy).
The a lot of important conflicts, clearly, were the battle between Wanda as well as Agatha as well as Vision as well as White Vision. last week teased that perhaps Wanda’s powers were not from experimentation in Sokovia, however she is the most powerful dark witch ever. That was essentially confirmed in the finale, retconning the backstory of Wanda as well as setting up the fascinating concern of exactly how did her sibling – Quicksilver – get his abilities. My preferred theory is Wanda approved him his powers, however we will likely never know.
Wanda overpowers Agatha with the overwhelming dark magic she possesses as well as sentences her to online as Agnes in Westview. I hope we see more of Agatha once again – she was such a fantastic character – however with her MCU future in doubt, wonderful four #94 may start to take a dive in the near future.
Double Vision
Fantastic four 94
The showdown between the two Visions that was so extremely anticipated ultimately turned into a battle of wits as they debated the Ship of Theseus question. essentially it is a philosophical illustration that points to the nature of identity. What is it that makes up the essence of something? The two Visions ultimately realize that they are only whole when they are combined as well as our conjured-by-Westview Vision imparts the memories as well as essence that SWORD’s Vision needs to ended up being the true Vision.
I saw plenty of sales of West coastline Avengers #45 in the $1,000+ variety this week. Those who own this book now likely have a long wait ahead of them to see if we ever look White Vision again.
“You have No concept What You’ve Unleashed!”
Where do our primary characters go from here? Without much in the way of new introductions in the last half of the season, we can focus our speculative minds on where the MCU plans to take each of these key players.
Wanda/Scarlet Witch
With exactly how much she has suffered, it was clear there is tension building in Wanda over exactly how to use her powers. In the finale, she chooses the many over the few when she saves Westview, pointing her in the hero direction. however in the secnull
