WandaVision

[dascoyne]

Star Trek TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT for me.

In that universe I'd like to think I would be out having adventures but, in truth, I really have no reason to leave the Holodeck. With a food replicator in reach I would have no reason to do anything else in life.

I thought Farscape as well, but then I remember that it would actually be horrifying and stressful. TNG would honestly probably be the nicest. No more need for money or bills, just artistic and scientific pursuits.

For a minute I thought I'd want to be an Avenger but, when I think about it, what I really want is to be an actor who gets to play an Avenger in the MCU.

Or more likely she watched them growing up in Sokovia where access to foreign TV was limited to older sitcoms.
I hear that a lot of Europeans can learn english by watching old american TV series, it's why you often hear they have a slight american accent when they speak english or use american colloquialisms.

We had to go to Romania a few years ago for business. We asked the people we were working with how they learned to speak english so well. We asked if it was taught at a young age in the schools. They said it was, but that's not where they learned it. They said what they learned in school was formal English as in high end UK style. They said everyone had trouble in those classes because they learned it watching american TV shows. They named a few and it seemed they were generally 10ish years behind. There was access to newer stuff, but lots of old stuff.

Even here in the US, i remember heavy reruns of Gilligan's Island and the Brady Bunch both of which ended about 8-10 years prior. You can STILL find those and MASH on reruns here in the US.

Farscape is a good one, but I think Star Wars would win out for me.

Another great episode! And I think it confirms that

Spoiler

Evan Peters is not playing his character from the Fox X-Men movies. Its just like Darcy said in the last episode. Wanda recast the part of her brother.

I think so to.

And also

Spoiler

Hayward is definately shaping up to be a bad guy. Kicking out Monica, Woo and Darcy, and being eager to kill Wanda.

Also were the hell did all the kids in Westview come from?

 

[renaissance_man]

WOW, what an absolute corker!
There was a lot going on there in today's new episode.
Can't wait for a re-watch with my girlfriend tomorrow, so many things to dig back through.

Could we be seeing a setup for Nightmare?
Hayward makes reference to the situation being a nightmare, which itself isn't unusual being that it is commonly used phrase, but with the prospect of Doctor Strange 2 having someone behind the Multiverse of Madness and references to it leaning more towards the horror genre for their take on Strange's sequel film. Could it be that Nightmare is exploiting Wanda's Infinity Stone fuelled grief with some strong manipulation?
However it pans out, I trust Marvel and I'm thoroughly enjoying every new chapter in this unfolding story.

The breaks from script are becoming more noticeable. The intro music was very on point this week.

For more speculation on the significance of the hexagons, YT channel Everything Always has gone back to AVENGERS: AoU, to the scenes where Bruce & Tony are researching & experimenting on the Mind Stone. In all of their screens, holograms, & readouts, the Mind Stone is represented by hexagons.

Another thing that slips my mind is this-

All the Infinity Stones have been destroyed. When Cap returned them to their original time, they continued to when Thanos snapped them out of existence. I find it interesting that Vision seems to have some independent control apart from Wanda, & the power from the Mind Stone by being able to snap people out of their delusion.

Is that coming from Wanda as well?

It also needs 6 the question of how DOCTOR STRANGE 2 will be different without the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamoto? Since Wanda exhibits the powers of all 6 Stones, can she imbue things with the individual Stone's power? I'll be interested in seeing.

Hmm...I dunno about that. I think he is Peter, but being held by Wanda (or the possible big bad behind all this) to be the version of Quicksilver that he isn't.

There's a theory in play that since Peter was born a mutant, with these powers, that he is far more OP than the MCU Quicksilver. (Hence why he was shot.) He said he heard Wanda "calling out to him". He can practically move at the speed of sound, though in the X-Men uni, he clearly moves at the speed of light, hence time slowing down from his point of view. In the comics he advances closer to the speed of light by literally vibrating his atoms to travel forward in time.

So, what if he literally Barry Allen'd his way into the MCU universe, via help of Wanda or someone else?

There's also a theory that Wiccan and Speed might have helped him come through to cheer her up, after talking about losing Pietro.

I don't think he's alone in being zapped into this universe, but this ties into the upcoming Multi-verse of Madness.

Though I'll say, it appears his powers are nerfed back to Pietro levels in this universe....which checks out. If one universe has different physics from the other, the molecular structure could change. Either that or Wanda is manipulating his powers to appear more like her actual brother. (IE, like his hair. She just can't change his actual facial or bodily features other than cosmetic.)

Farscape is a good one, but I think Star Wars would win out for me.

The real question is, what would you be in that universe? A Jedi? A bounty hunter? A smuggler? An Imperial Officer? Wookie? Droid? Rancor breeder?

I'm thinking since Vision is a new hybrid creature, the "body" is vision, while the mind stone functioned more as the power source. Since he's simply vibranium assembled like human cells, they don't decay or rot. So as long as he's put back together, and powered properly, he functions. Wanda's powers are mind stone based too, so she can power him within the hex.

And let's be honest, it's hexagonal so it can be called a "Hex", because she's Scarlet "Witch".

 

[dascoyne]

One explanation to Pietro's change is this. Wanda can't resurrect the dead. Vision is a possible exception because first, she had his body and much of his sentience is hardware-based and because <insert Vibranium technobabble here>.

In order to bring back Pietro she would have had to grab a host-body from a stranger which explains his being "recast." But she is also able to infuse his sentience into the host because it is derived from the residue of their psychic twin-bond. Remember when he died in Age of Ultron? She didn't witness his death but immediately felt him die in her mind.

Also, I like that they have Pietro at Age of Ultron speed. Days of Future Past made for great effects but that Peter was just too implausibly OP.

 

[Sundowner]

Really cool to see Tommy in his (kind of) Wiccan costume.

 

[Paul Andrew]

So, it seems clear that Vision can't maintain outside of the hex, and even when he was briefly out he didn't appear to have regained his knowledge of the outside world, which implies that Wanda wasn't able to fully bring him back, or maybe that the hex was made for the purpose of having a place for him to exist.
Also, I'm confused about Pietro. He seems to know things that MCU Pietro wouldn't, like that Vision had died.

Also: COSTUMES!

 

[CelticRuins]

I know there was a fake Magneto tease that someone pulled together, but Olsen did say there was going to be a "Luke" appearance. Whether that was Evan or not remains to be seen...but what if Magneto does "come through" the multiverse and is able to piece Vision back together with his powers and her's?? Since he can't seem to hold together outside of the Hex.

There's also speculation that Wanda is "creating" mutants due to the Hex...IE: Photon. That Darcy could be Deathcry due to the prominent pattern on her sweater:

That's a super stretch that I've seen, considering Deathcry is Shi'ar Empire....but they could be retconning? It's a reach.

Also, I'm confused about Pietro. He seems to know things that MCU Pietro wouldn't, like that Vision had died.

I think Wanda did that, unless there's some other malevolent force at play here that put those memories into his head. It was to better suit Wanda. But Peter is still in there somewhere, as his personality is still that of Fox Uni Quicksilver, and not MCU. He's being mind melded.

I noticed Herb doing excactly what Agnes did last week, Ask Wanda If they want something changed (last week it was ”should i take it from the top” when they notice her not being pleased with what happened. The resident atleast are convinced that Wanda is running the ship.

Uncanny to see the residents not in Wandas focus just stand around or glitch. From what we have seen these are real people trapped in s nightmare.

It reminded me of open world video games when sometimes the AI of the game can't keep up with what the player is doing. You enter into a certain area and all the AI controlled characters are glitched out like that.

 

[Strikerkc]

I took them doing repetitive tasks or standing still to be more like staging. in case the show went down there. they're background characters doing background things.
