For those on the fence about watching Wanda Vision like I was (no spoilers)

I was on the fence about giving it my time based on all the weird reactions I was reading and hearing on social media. I gave it a shot over the weekend and my advice to others like me is: Watch it.

I think it’s excellent, and super-well done by Marvel/Disney. It’s funny, nostalgic, clever, intriguing and mysterious. The way it’s crafted top to bottom is remarkable. The cast does an outstanding job and show a range I didn’t know some of them had. And after four episodes things are starting to click and make sense.

Imagine a puzzle where the pieces are sitcoms from various decades, put together for a specific purpose. Each week the curtain is pulled back a little more to show you what’s going on. After four episodes I’m hooked in and I think you will be too.

It's worth a watch, but it's not blowing me away yet.


It's not as bad as captain marvel (which is not as bad as WW84), so that's worth something.

WandaVision is a modern mystery that I find refreshing. It's fun trying to figure out what the hell is going on and who is behind it.

It's funny..


No. Much like the modern movie remakes of The Honeymooners, The Three Stooges, and The Little Rascals, the physical comedy falls flat. I didn't laugh once and I'd like to know who actually did.

Bettany, Olson, & cast certainly look the part, but can't deliver laughs. (The Brady Bunch movie was a hilarious remake, but mainly because it was a parody making fun of that era vs present day, not an homage or straight recreation like Wandavision. We were laughing at The Brady Bunch, not with them.)

But I agree with you, WV is nostalgic, intriguing, mysterious (and creepy). The 4th episode is the hook.

I had no intention of watching it when it first came out. I waited until this past weekend to binge the first 4 episodes and I’m glad I did. If I had watched the first 2 when they dropped, I would not have watched anymore episodes. The previews made it seem weird and unappealing. I guess that was part of the promotion and they did a good job of hiding what the show really is. The 4th episode really kicks things off.

The first few episodes were entertaining but very slow and didn’t really go anywhere other than to establish the characters. I can see why that would turn a lot of people off. The 4th episode finally got into the meat of the story and was very good.

I love it. It's refreshing to see some weird, original content from Marvel. Their formula got stale after ant man 1.

The acting and production all around is pretty incredible.
