re: Official WandaVision Episode 5 Thread NO SPOILERS PAGE 1

Yet another great episode.

Seeing Peter/Pietro was a complete surprise to me. My kids didn’t know why I was freaking out because they love the MCU but haven’t seen the X-men movies.

Another good commercial referencing a traumatic event in Wanda’s life. These seem to be going in chronological order. Lagos brand paper towel refers to the incident with crossbones in Civil War.

Even though Wanda is in control, it seems she may not have started this event knowingly. Agnes clearly is aware and probably manipulating Wanda.

Reading about Agatha Harkness from the comics, she may be actually trying to help Wanda

Interesting. I haven’t looked her up.

she clearly didnt not conscientiously. i think she found out that SWORD had vision's body, was told they were doing tests on him, rescued him, and then was manipulated by whomever told her about vision (probably hydra) and then the next thing she knows, shes in westview. they even pretty much stated this in the first episode when she seemed just as confused on the minor details of her life with vision. like the anniversary, their wedding song, etc

somewhere around the time when vision's boss starts choking and towards the end of the 2nd episode is when she realizes shes in control

and yes. agnes is clearly playing some knowing angle here and id assume dottie is as well

Notice that Wanda was trying to roll credits on the show, while Vision wasn't buying it? Her way of trying to ignore his line of questions?

i do wonder if her trying to deal with SWORD kinda invading westview is starting to have a draw on her powers. like when agnes was talking about taking the scene from the top, i kinda took it as if she was telling her "alright, do the thing where you reset everything and lets do it right this time" and then when she didnt bring sparky back, and then when she tried to just end the show when vision figured everything but couldnt

Yep. The slogan was, "For when you make a mess, but didn't mean to."

Referring to her killing all those people in the building.

I feel like the Agnes chick is the bad guy in this.

When Vision snapped that guy out of the virtual reality, he was saying how "she is in my head" and never mentioned Wanda by name. Then when Vision confronted Wanda, she said she wasn't controlling everything and didn't know what was going on.

Also, when Wanda left Westview to face SWORD, why was her accent back?

i took it as thats her normal voice. And she was pissed and it was coming out more.

Here in the sitcom world she is "living the american dream" and is more "americanized?" i dunno thats how my brain took it at least.

Maybe she was just taking accent classes between Ultron and Infinity War and it's slipping in and out now.

Also, the amount of people online who think they actually just recast the MCU Quicksilver is wild. Like they don't get the significance of it being Evan Peters there instead.

I think Wanda's "in control", but like the show intro song says- we're making this up as we we go

She's powering it and directing the big picture, but she's not in control of everything, and she isn't really sure what she's doing...

didn't know there would be twins.
Couldn't stop the twins from crying.
couldn't (or wouldn't?) rewind Vision this episode... she did that a couple episodes ago, but this time when Agnes suggested it, she turned away. And later, when Vision said she can't control him like the others, she said "oh yeah?" and rolled credits, but it didn't work.

Agnes looked genuinely shocked about Wanda 'fixing death' You can do that?
Vision is a machine, that wasn't a corpse, it was an android body they reassembled and rebooted. Thanos yanked the power supply, but Wanda has replaced that and reinstalled the OS... hence he's "Vision" but doesn't have memory of before the reboot. That's because he's a fresh build, and not all the old stuff got reloaded. But the OS is still Jarvis-based, so the internet stuff (getting the emails?) is part of his design. And there's enough 'other' in the mix to push him to full sentience (let's admit, Jarvis was pretty much sentient by the time he was blocking Ultron, prior to being loaded into the Vision body).

Actual death, as discussed with the dog, is a different concept. Again, Agnes, who knows the script, didn't know about that, nor does Wanda... but the kids are outside her control. They asked about her brother.

Now- weirdness increasing. Quicksilver was her brother, that's Quicksilver. Simple math to do deep equation:
Quicksilver= 5.
1+4= 5
2+3= 5
and so on.

Pietro, the guy who got shot in AOU, is 1+4= Quicksilver.
This dude is 2+3= Quicksilver. Not the same, but the same.

Deeper dig- if that's really X-Men Quicksilver, then it goes to reason X-Men exist somwhere (another universe); and if anyone could pick up on the sudden weirdness in that universe, Charles Xavier would. Maybe Jean Grey in more advanced form, too.

Starting to wonder if anything Marvel puts out will ever be criticized
You already have enough characters to work with, I can't imagine how crazy this is going to get when they add the other spidermans to the mix along with past villains
