In an interview right before the show premiered, Paul Bettany talked about getting the opportunity to work with an actor he has always respected and wanted to do a scene with. This led to a lot of speculation on who was going to be in the show. It turned out he was joking about having a scene with himself

[@FelixArizmendi555]

Wanda looks beautiful in the Scarlet Witch costume.🥰

[@testfire3000]

They really knocked it out of the park with the updated costume! The classic costume in the Halloween episode was fun but the final one was terrific. Super hot without being silly.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Shit is awesome, it’s a bummer they changed it again rt away. Hopefully when she eventually pops back up she has this costume again

[@DevilzFan]

"What is grief, if not love persevering?" breaks me every time.

[@ryn7353]

😭😭😭😭

[@vinnycordeiro]

Every. Single. Time.

[@nintenmetro]

That was an amazing line and very well delivered. Even I could never come up with something like that.

[@queegs73]

I loved that line. So well delivered. It’s so true. I thought of all my loved ones who passed away that I miss so much. It made me tear up.

[@jasonrichard8448]

Every damn time

[@davidbergfors6820]

33:58 Indeed, it's called Astral projection. However, Strange could only do it while sleeping, Wanda is actively doing things at the same time.

[@jhilal2385]

- Agatha's black fingers are a stain from using the Darkhold. - Wanda's fingers were turning black while she was studying the Darkhold - The Darkhold featured prominently in several seasons of the MCU series "Agents of SHIELD". The 1st season begins just after the end of "Iron Man 3" and picks up the story of the Extremis serum. - If you had watched "Agents of SHIELD", then you would know that the Darkhold corrupts anyone who reads even a single page of it, so Wanda studying it is A VERY BAD THING. - The voices that Wanda was hearing calling for help were not real, but rather the distorting influence of the Darkhold.

[@MikeWood]

"What is grief, if not love persevering?" is perhaps one of the most poignant and powerful lines of dialog in all the MCU. It could honestly sum up the entire series. Even watching it again with you now it gets you in the feels.

[@markmatson]

Originally I assumed it was a famous quote I hadn't heard, probably Shakespeare.

[@randalthor741]

The "Agatha All Along" bit is one of the all time greatest villain reveals IMO. The "And I killed Sparky too!" thrown out at the end just seals it for me lol

[@Andrew.Grabowski]

That line about killing sparky is what sealed her as a villain to me going into the next episode. Such a great song.

[@SeanTube2099]

I had that song video on loop for weeks afterwards.

[@dsscam]

Loved your reaction to this classic show. Everybody is talking about how Angela Bassett is the 1st to get nominated for an Oscar for a MCU role. But they forget Elizabeth Olsen AND Paul Bettany got nominated for an Emmy, SAG AND Golden Globe for Wanda Vision.

[@davidmcleod5133]

WandaVision got ROBBED at the Emmys. That ceremony lost all credibility in my eyes after they awarded Queen’s Gambit and Mare of Eastown all the awards over Paul and Lizzy’s masterpiece.

[@jusskitten6120]

In the post credit scene in the cabin she is reading the darkhold which is an ancient book that corrupts whoever reads it. Her reading the darkhold is extremely dangerous

[@paulhewes7333]

the white Vision is THE Vision, and he has the memories, but none of the emotions.

[@tigerjonn]

17:34 I love how even Agnes has to wipe a tear out of her eye...

[@dracoargentum9783]

The worst part about the tragedy is the fact that, in comic canon [when all halves are working together] Wanda is Magneto's daughter, so her tragic homelife is right up with his tragic homelife, and I just think Man, can't the darn family ever catch a break?

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

While Wanda/Pietro as Magneto's children is the longest lasting version of their parentage (roughly 30 years), it isn't even the first explanation of their parentage and not the current one. Comic stories always change, well other than the first (Marvel) Captain Marvel dying of cancer.

[@robertfalk3767]

I would never spoil anything.... But you've got some really exciting things coming your way as you go through the MCU. This is going to be a fun ride.

[@grogu9698]

Imagine watching this, waiting a full week for the next episode. Part of the fun when this was released was all the debate on the internet and the many crazy theories that people made. Many believed the demon lord Mephisto to be the real villain behind all of this and in every chapter people thought they had found hints of Mephisto´s presence.

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

"The difference between you and me is that you do this on purpose." This line and the fact that she caught the soldiers that Agatha dropped, to me are the most concrete evidence that despite what some people claim, Wanda is not irredeemably 'evil' by the end of this show. She made some choices that were not ok, but she still cares what happens to people and is not willing to hurt them. What she did to the people of Westview was an accident, and she clearly regretted it or else she wouldn't have stopped.

[@dsfddsgh]

Some of the writing was still trash in this episode though. When Monica was like "they'll never know what you sacrificed for them" i was like ummm Wanda took a whole team hostage and was tormenting them. And then she just fucks off and leaves and doesn't even face the consequences of her actions. I still love her though.

[@CheckersMcGavern]

​@@dsfddsgh Yeah... that line really irked me too. I think they were trying to come up with something that was as eloquent and profound as "What is pain if not love persevering?" but fumbled it. And instead, the phrasing gives it this weird... vain... self-congratulatory vibe to it. As if just doing the right thing wasn't enough... everyone should know how difficult it was. Imagine if a Firefighter set a building on fire, and jumped inside to rescue them all. And then a friend of his walks up and goes "They'll never know just how dangerous that was for you" LOL

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

@@dsfddsgh Yeah, I won't defend that line. I like to interpret it as Monica saying Westview didn't understand what Wanda sacrificed for everyone including them before all of this started, that they didn't know who she was as an Avenger, not that they should be grateful for her dropping the Hex, but that wasn't made very clear. It would have been nice to see Wanda address the crowd in some way, acknowledge that she knows she hurt them and was sorry. She flew off at the sound of police sirens, meaning she was running from the consequences. While not the right thing to do, this is understandable... Wanda had spent years as a fugitive, hiding from the authorities would be second nature to her, and she has experience being treated inhumanely as a prisoner. Though she volunteered for Strucker's experiments, the conditions there were clearly not great, and her short time at the Raft was probably no picnic either. She was afraid of getting put back in a cage. She's only human. She's also used to people hating and fearing her, deserved or not. So she wouldn't be inclined to waste her time trying to change the minds of people giving her death glares like that. She did apologise to Monica, the only victim she thought was willing to hear it.

[@gokussj6530]

@@dsfddsgh I interpreted it as empathy, every time Monica appeared she showed her empathy towards Wanda, I think her dialogue agrees with everything we saw of the character in the series, she was the only one who really understood Wanda because she felt the same way, that's why he knew he could make her see reason and he would have succeeded if Agatha hadn't interfered...

[@dispelledword7818]

Wong is the sorcerer's supreme, -his the librarian of kamutaj, he knows alot of magical history while dr. Strage is the master of mythic arts.. -he know alot of magic powers, and smart

[@andre1999o]

And now, "Agatha All Along" is stuck in my head AGAIN.

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

Yeah, I understand. This is one of if not THE most dramatic and ground-breaking entries in the MCU. I weep for Wanda, for her pain and trauma, and I applaud her courage in the end. More, I am fascinated by White Vision, especially since there are plans for a new series about him. 10:09 Yeah, I was wondering "Why is your basement in Mordor?????"

[@scottvanhille5688]

Nice reaction Addie. I really liked seeing your reaction to this wonderful series. Next up: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Can't wait for your reactions to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Loki, and Moon Knight.

[@HobGungan]

She has several shows and movies to get through before MoM.

[@adamcox13579]

Honestly Wanda's life in the MCU is so brutal. Her parents and brother getting killed is bad enough, having to kill vision, only to see him brought back and killed again is worse and then this 😭

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

I loved all of the series we got once Endgame finished. This is at the top of the list. I felt the same as you when I first saw it and even now. So heartbreaking and so touching. Take care, Addie!!

[@garrettmathews9303]

They couldn’t call her the Scarlet Witch until around the time this show came out because Fox owned the name “Scarlet Witch” along with the X-men

[@DC_Prox]

"I request elaboration" One of my favourite line deliveries in all of the MCU.

[@DragoonxVII]

Awesome show, awesome reaction! You're definitely right it's great to see these characters get the time they deserve, but it's tough to see them continue to struggle and face more loss. Even so the more we learn about Wanda the more I like her. This series handled those flashbacks perfectly, it always gives me goosebumps. And for the future this show opened so many possibilities, like you said. I think I'm most excited to see where Monica goes from here! Thanks again for a great reaction Addie!

[@dirtyhawkstv1575]

Felt very nostalgic about The Brady Bunch set. My second favorite 70s show after Sanford and Son.

[@markfilla9305]

Lovely reaction Addie! This truly was a unique, bar-setting series. When it begins in ep 1 it's impossible to imagine that it is going to end up where it does in the finale. Having said that, I can't wait for you to get to Loki as it goes in a completely different direction and ends in an unexpected place as well.

[@joshuawells835]

•10:39-to quote Malekith from Thor the Dark World, "WITCH!" •"What is grief, if not love persevering?" is the line that everyone took out of this series. •Quick Legal Question-given that the Vision's body is made from vibranium that was stolen from Wakanda, is his body not then the legal property of Wakanda? Shouldn't a Wakandan representative be present? •"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one." - Spock

[@puppetmaster8551]

Wandavision fuckin ruled, been an MCU fan since the very beginning and that was my favorite time as a fan. The crazy hype and discussion and theories episode to episode was so much fun to be a part of, I miss it. Shout out Elizabeth Olsen her performance was incredible and Wanda rules. Still easily my favorite D+ MCU show. Great reaction as always

[@SeedFactoryProject]

Doctor Strange only *used* the Time Stone, but Wanda's innate powers were *amplified* by the Mind Stone, so she is more powerful in terms of raw power. Strange and the other sorcerers have more knowledge, though, through more years of study and practice.

[@Shap0o.PlayZz]

Well Addie, you can see that Agatha was able to cast runes only in her basement, Agatha didn't expect Wanda to cast runes all over the town to begin with. Wanda cast her runes even in the last moment due to she being that powerful even in that moment to cast a rune for the entire city. That's how powerful scarlet witch really is.

[@OverWims]

The post credits scene actually showed how much more powerful than Doctor Strange she is. Doctor Strange (at least during the beginning of his first movie) could not be conscious physically while conscious in the astral plane. His physical body was always resting while he was in the astral plane. Wanda, however, can be conscious in both. She can basically do 2 completely different things at the same time (in this case making a drink and studying the darkhold). She is extremely powerful.

[@tearsoflight]

Love, there is so many more reveals yet to come for you as well as for marvel yet to reveal. I can't wait for it all to come together.

[@Gandoan]

Let the tears flow.

[@joeffcatapang2494]

some notes: 1. agatha harkness is wanda's mentor in the comics.. 2. wandavision provided one of the most iconic and beautiful lines in mcu, "what is grief, if not love perservering?".. 3. yes, marvel/disney didnt call wanda scarlet witch since her debut in age of ultron in 2015, not until the release of this episode/show last 2021..because disney doesnt have the rights for the usage of her mutant name, or basically, the mutants in general until disney bought 20th century fox last 2019..also, thats why the reveal of Evan Peter here as Pietro became a surprise for fans, because he is Fox's Quicksilver/Pietro in their xmen franchise..mamy thought wanda accidentally brought Peter's pietro from the xmen universe to the mcu, and started the collab between mcu and xmen..until the Boner reveal..hehe.. 4. yes, the HE is nick fury.. 5. Monica Rambeau will next show at The Marvels this July.. 6. yes, that is astral projection from Dr Strange, the difference, wanda can do it while awake..Strange and The Ancient One did it while unconscious.. 7. the ending will be answered in Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.. 8. yes, ur right, phase4 is the effects of infinity war and endgame for our heroes.. 9. next is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.. best mcu show for me as of now..great reaction addie..

[@oxhine]

Hey, Addie! EPISODE 7: A NEW HERO is born and AGNES is finally revealed! The sitcom being parodied this week is "Modern Family" complete with character interviews that put the audience into the role of documentarian. The title sequence is straight out of "The Office". A SWORD team loyal to Rambeau delivers the specially-designed vehicle to penetrate the Hex but the AEROSPACE ENGINEER remains a mystery. Vision unlocks Darcy's mind and they make their getaway from the circus punching out the SWORD strongman. Astrophysicist. Hacker. Welterweight, too? She remains PREPOSTEROUS! The commercial is a classic parody of anti-depressant pharmaceuticals that come with a laundry list of gruesome side effects. This one is called NEXUS. Is Wanda a nexus of multiple realities? The Marvel Comics Nexus is guarded by the Man-Thing in the Everglades! Agnes is babysitting the boys with Senor Scratchy when Wiccan expresses relief that her home is quiet. He can't hear the minds of the trapped Westview residents there but Agnes' mind is also quiet. Does this mean she has the ability to shield her thoughts from telepaths? Is the rabbit her transformed son from the comics, NICHOLAS SCRATCH? Monica's tank isn't quite up to snuff and gets rewritten into a pick-up whereupon she powers through the barrier and gets rewritten herself into an energy being. SPECTRUM has arrived and the electromagnetic spectrum is hers to see and become! Darcy lays out the truth for Vision as they head to town but they're continually blocked by obstacles. Does Wanda want to delay the confrontation or is Agnes trying to isolate Wanda? I love how Vision walks out of the "Modern Family" interview! Agnes directs Wanda to the basement where she discovers a vine-choked, eldritch temple and the DARKHOLD! Agnes reveals herself as AGATHA HARKNESS, puts a spell on Wanda and reveals in a montage set to a "MUNSTERS"-like theme how she's been pulling Wanda's strings all along! She even killed Sparky! Lol. END-CREDIT SCENE: Undeterred by Agnes, Monica tries to get into the house by using the basement door. She detects the odd energy signature emanating from within but she gets stopped by Pietro! Is he MCU Pietro or Fox Pietro? Is he Agnes' servant or master? Is he Agnes' son, Nicholas Scratch, in human form? Is Agnes the BIG BAD or is she the agent of Mephisto or Nightmare aka "Ralph"? If so, is she a willing or unwilling participant? Where is the beekeeper? Who is the missing witness? Was Dottie identified as a resident? Is Westview actually NEW SALEM from the comics? Are we done with sitcoms? THE DARKHOLD is an ancient tome of magic and an item of incalculable power in the Marvel Universe sought covetously by magic-users and akin to the Lovecraftian Necronomicon. It has previously appeared on "Agents of SHIELD". EPISODE 8: Villain monologue time! Agatha is revealed to have been sentenced to burn at the stake in Salem, Massachusetts in 1693 but not by witch hunters. Her own coven led by her mother condemned her for practicing forbidden arts! She protests it occurred unbidden due to her innate power and pleads for guidance! Rebuffed, she effortlessly wrests power from them all when they attempt to immolate her leaving them withered husks! In the comics, Agatha is burned at the stake in modern times by her own coven established in Colorado called New Salem. The leaders of the coven, THE SALEM SEVEN, did the deed. She resurrected despite their efforts. She is ancient and witnessed ATLANTIS sink! Did you notice the intangible crown that appeared over mom's head like Wanda's comic tiara when she poured on the energy? Pietro is revealed to be a fake but who he was isn't made clear. BEWARE SENOR SCRATCHY! Not many bunnies chow down on sparrows! Agatha wants to know how Wanda accomplished coordinating all the fine details of the Hex and takes Wanda on a trip down memory lane. SOKOVIA: Young Wanda and Pietro watch DVDs of old American sitcoms to learn English with their parents. "The Dick van Dyke Show" is her favorite! One family night, their apartment is leveled by a bomb and another one lies undetonated in front of the twins for two days while they're trapped in the rubble. Its blinking light was the toaster's blinking light from the commercial and the bomb is labeled 'Stark Industries'. Old news? Yes but Wanda is what kept the bomb from blowing! She already had latent magic ability! Is she a WITCH or is this her retcon into being a MUTANT? HYDRA: As a Hydra volunteer, she perceives the Mind Stone contained in the Chitauri scepter gem and survives contact with it either because of a PROBABILITY HEX or her MUTANT GENOME. She either extends the hex to Pietro or his own genome protects him. In a flash, she sees a silhouetted figure wearing a tiara that looks like her alter ego. A glimpse of her future? She rewrites the CCTV footage and the encounter is not recorded. AVENGERS HQ: Post-Ultron, we get a tender scene between Vision and Wanda about managing grief that tests Agatha's patience for schmaltz! Lol. Vision was key to helping her cope with Pietro's loss. SWORD: Post-"Endgame", Wanda attempts to retrieve Vision but she doesn't storm the facility and Hayward is accommodating and sensitive! He can't permit interment due to the priceless vibranium that can be recovered but he permits her access to the disassembled body. She is satisfied that he is inert and being treated in accordance with his will. This means Hayward doctored the footage to spin a narrative that focused on Wanda as a thief after her Westview activities became known to mask his off-the-books weaponization project called CATARACT. WESTVIEW: Wanda receives a deed to some property in Westview apparently sent to her by Vision. Did he really send it or was this SOMEONE ELSE'S BAIT? She sees Mrs. Hart, Herb, Phil and Dennis in town, examines the plot of land and generates both the Hex and an imaginary Vision in an outpouring of grief. Everything transmutes to a 1950s black-and-white aesthetic and her hijack of the town is complete! Agatha applauds from the empty studio audience that fronts the sitcom set and finally has her answers! Wanda races outside to the cries of the twins who are being energy-garroted by a floating Agatha who declares Wanda to be a type of sorceress called a SCARLET WITCH or one capable of PARTHENOGENESIS! As far as Agatha knew, such a being is supposed to be a MYTH capable of wielding CHAOS MAGIC! END-CREDIT SCENE: Hayward brings Project Cataract online using the residual energy the drone Wanda returned to SWORD was wreathed in. Vision's reassembled WHITE BODY is on display humming to life which proves that Hex Vision is an imaginary construct and that Hayward has violated the synthezoid's wishes. This is the version of Vision from West Coast Avengers' "Visionquest" storyline who is an emotionless automaton. QUESTIONS: Is Pietro NICHOLAS SCRATCH or a townie serving Agatha? Or is he Agatha's master perhaps MEPHISTO, NIGHTMARE or GRIM REAPER? Was Agatha a resident of Westview already or drawn to Wanda's power from elsewhere? Is Agatha trying to HARNESS Wanda's power or SUBDUE the threat she poses? Has DOTTIE been identified? Where is the beekeeper? Who is the missing witness? Will we ever see 'RALPH'? Will we ever see the AEROSPACE ENGINEER? Is the tome in Agatha's Sanctum the DARKHOLD? Is Wanda MAGIC or MUTANT? Can the TWINS survive beyond the Hex? If you'd like to learn more about Vision and Scarlet Witch's complex comic history either before the series is finished or after it's over, I strongly encourage you to check out KZbinr James Hancock's primer on "Geekin' with James Hancock". Hancock knows his stuff and the showrunners obviously did their homework!

"Isn't there some way we can live with our family?" Be careful what you wish for. . .

[@cheshirekat528]

Wanda is more of a antihero. I don’t read the comics, but much like how she was introduced in the Age of Ultron as a “villain” going against the Avengers, my understanding is that she was also introduced as a villain in the comics. As part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, a group led by her father, the super villain and sometimes hero Magneto! Very similar to MCU Loki, sometimes they fight for/with the heroes and sometimes they are very much the villains. Hopefully you will watch the Fox X-Men movies at some point. Magneto is one of my favorite characters, if you think Wanda has had some trauma, wait until you meet her Dad. Of course because of studio film rights to certain characters all these years, we still have never really seen the true Maximoff family all together, maybe one day 🤞🤞now that the X-Men are back where they belong under the Marvel Studios banner. As always, Great reaction!

[@vinnycordeiro]

Well, at least in one case the Fox merger already gave fruits, but it's too early to talk about that yet...

[@blackkatt777]

Hayward lied to Monica, Woo and Darcy about Wanda attacking the place and stealing Vision's body. Wanda was born with powers only they were barely dormit. In the comics, characters go through traumatic experiences or get exposed to radiation in order for their abilities to manifest. Wanda's ability showed when her home was attacked, her parents died and she was in fear for her life. Shock and trauma. Once in the room with Loki's staff that Hydra gave to Strucker to experiment with, the Stone (Vision Infinity stone) sensed her in the room and she and Pietro survived the radiation exposure coming off of the stone...the stone amplified what would have stayed dormit within her. In the Xmen comics, the Maximoff sibs are mutants and twins. Fox owned the rights to all of Xmen Marvel movies and their character likeness. Disney wasn't allowed to acknowledge the name "mutants" until after the ink was dried on their Fox buy out...just like they had to negotiate a deal with Sony over the use of Spiderman. People who are born or develope mutations are born with a dna gene called Mutant X. As Charles Xavier pointed out in the Xmen movies, its human evolution. But in the comics, Celestial beings experimented on living creatures throughout the galaxies/universes to upgrade the species. The Kree were among them. As the Kree became advanced beings, they started doing experiments of their own. The Celestials made super powered human beings called Eternals, the real ones....but I digress. You haven't seen that movie yet. So there were other beings made which didn't look as humanoid as the super powered Eternal creations. They looked alien. They are called Deviants. Thanos is a Deviant. Over millions of years later, the super powers became dormit in the descendants of those beings....hence the "X gene" needing exposure to something radioactive and/or traumatic enough to shock their mutant abilities awake. Examples: Bruce and his cousin may be a lineage of a Deviant because they change into a different species. Gamma Ray space radiation. Steve Rogers shot up with a mystery formula that no one knows where Erskine made his out of, and he went into a radiation gamma ray chamber. His body could adapt and manifest abilities because of him having the X gene. Tony Stark used the Infinity Stones and died. He was not a descendant. Monica went through the radiation force field put up. Woo said people couldn't get in. He could feel that he couldn't get in. Monica saw the force field before she ever got sucked in. It acknowledged her x gene and was allowed in. Her getting exposed so many times unleashed her power...more on that in The Marvels movie. My theory is that she had the dormit gene, but her mother did not. Perhaps Monica and Maria were blasted by radiation weaponry from maybe Carol's enemies while looking for her. Monica survived unharmed, but her mom got stage 4 cancer from it. Maybe Carol didn't come back to earth to see about Maria and Monica has resentment towards her for it. That could explain her reaction to Woo and Darcy bringing up Captain Marvel's name. Wanda is a comic book villain, but the movies gave her a relatable backstory to feel sad about. She's on the cray cray side. Her and her brother are the children of Xmen's villain Magneto. But again, that's mutant talking territory. That story arc starts slowly getting peppered into shows here and there. In the comics, Agatha was a very old looking witch who showed Wanda how to better use her powers, only she had hidden agendas for that. One word that drove the internet crazy during the airing of this show.....MEPHISTO. Maybe he'll get brought up in the Agatha Harkness show, though. He's the MCU version of the Devil. The whole phase 4 is about dealing with mental health and trauma. Expect to cry more...lots of people don't like phase 4, but I think it's important to see these heroes vulnerable and not sweep it aside like cheesy comic movies of the 70's and 80's. This makes the characters more relatable and grounded. Imo, it went hand in hand with what the world was going through from the pandemic and the after effects. As for phase 4 tv shows go, Wandavision is my favorite. It's just amazing writing, acting and story concept. Great reaction, girl. If you read this all....bless you. Lmao.

[@paulbrown1409]

After the first two episodes I was like ‘nah, this might not be for me’ I’ll watch one more and see if it gets better. So glad I did, the ending of episode 3 just pulled me in completely. Excellent series.

[@PlumbPitiful]

This continues in Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. As others have said you should watch that right away while Wanda's story is still fresh in your mind.

[@HobGungan]

The MCU needs to be watched in release order, same as always.

[@todderickson2435]

Great reactions to the last episodes of my favorite Marvel TV show, Addie. Glad you had your tissues. 😊

[@feardabrood]

There is a lot more fallout from the snap, which I think Marvel does a good of addressing. Wandavision and Hawkeye show the loss and grief of endgame. Falcon and Winter Soldier tackles the socioeconomic fallout (and of course the legacy of Captain America). That is the next Marvel project in watch order I believe.

[@kurtunconscious]

The events of Wandavision lead into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It's not the next project to premiere following Wandavision, but you've seen everything you need to see prior to watching it.

[@Starsaber222]

While it's not essential, Agents of SHIELD season 4 also adds some good context on the Darkhold.

[@jacf4460]

@@Starsaber222 fr they explained it so much better in that show than in the movie, which is sad cuz it changes how one views the character

I love your reactions, they always brighten my day! Thank you for these! Quick question, do you plan to watch Agents of SHIELD, too?

[@gchild1286]

Abbie, I really enjoy watching your reactions. I looking forward to more of your videos (MCU and otherwise). I think you gained a new subscriber. 😊

[@lordofalltime]

the Darkhold has been seen before in a marvel production "Agents of SHIELD"

[@Wyattoons]

Yeah they’re slowly building to a Nick Fury/Skrull story called Secret Invasion (very different from the original comic event). So the post-credits scene with this show connects to the Fury post-credits scene in Far From Home.

[@cmlemmus494]

A lot of what is going on with this show makes more sense if you know some of the legal shenanigans of the past three decades. In the comics, Wanda and Pietro were mutants, specifically the children of Magneto, but they (usually) rejected their father's politics and worked with the Avengers. In the 90s when Marvel Comics had bankruptcy issues they sold film rights to different studios and Fox got the X-Men. When Marvel launched the MCU they could use the Wanda & Pietro characters, but couldn't reference mutants. So they wrote a new backstory with infinity stones and Hydra. Then in 2017 Disney acquired Fox and the mutant rights went back to Marvel. Reading between the lines, the whole "Wanda was special before the Hydra experiments" looks like it might be a bridge between the old continuity and whatever Marvel has planned for reintegrating the X-Men universe with the MCU. We're not there yet, but it will eventually happen. X-Men is too valuable of a property to ignore it forever. Glad you enjoyed this in any case. I love your reactions and it's nice to see you covering TV as well as films.

37:51 ikr? You mentally dominate one small, New Jersey town and suddenly it's villain this, kidnapping that. I mean, really, it's just a small town in Jersey. No one's gonna' miss it. 😉 /s

[@-Francisco-]

And now you’re ready for doctor strange 2! Can’t wait for that reaction! And I totally forgot how loud that huge jump scare was at 15:01 totally got me back when it first aired lol

[@steve8510]

Agatha's house was the actual house from the 60's sitcom Bewitched

[@PapasitoBustamante2585]

Wanda's darkhold is the best hold ✌️

[@ckelcro]

Ok now that you finished it i can finally comment. This showed Elizabeth Olsen's acting chops, that she had to act as multiple versions of herself across different decades, basically emulate the acting styles of different shows of our times.

[@Mirikal]

"I wish there was a way to keep her family!" Pain behind. Pain ahead.

[@theoc511]

WandaVision is about handling grief Loki is about loving yourself FATWS is about acknowledging race/class discrepancy Hawkeye is about realizing your "heroes/idols" are just people too

[@nintenmetro]

Episode 7 gave us a mockumentary feel like Modern Family, High School Musical the series, The Office, and more recently Abbott Elementary. The camera also moved like in other sitcoms including but not limited to Kenan and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. @20:54 Hayward lied about Wanda breaking in. Basically what they did was draw her energy from the drone they sent in and she threw out. That same energy originated from the Mind Stone which gave life to the original Vision. There’s no mind stone, but the stone’s signature is still bound to the energy which was used to revive him. Only this time he had no free will despite having the memories of his past life until his Hex double unlocked them. Only time will tell when we’ll see original Vision again. Monica will return in the sequel to Captain Marvel 2019. It’s called The Marvels. They’re a trio consisting of Carol, Monica, and approaching newcomer Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel. She has her own series which will lead up to the upcoming film. Agatha will return in her own series coming late this year to Disney Plus. It was previously titled Agatha: House of Harkness. Now it’ll be called Agatha: Coven of Chaos.

[@Firefax]

I believe White Vision may have Vision's memories back, but not his personality. For that, I believe he's going to Wakanda. That is where they were attempting to sepeate his Self from the Mind Strone. Who knows how far they got?

[@Eidlones]

Well, it's not like they were taking his Self out in little chunks or something. They were trying to remove the mind stone without killing him. The "part that's left of him", would have been the parts of his personality that didn't come from the stone. It's an all or nothing type thing.

[@Firefax]

@@Eidlones I agree and that, too, is what I was referring to when I say "Self". There must be something of the old Vision in the computers back in Wakanda. I think White Vision wants to make sure that he's as "whole" as he can be. He left in one all-fired hurry. He's got a destination in mind.

[@Eidlones]

@Gerard J. Reyes Why do you think there must be something of Vision in Wakanda, when he was literally just getting a piece of his mind removed (the stone), and that never happened? It was purely an extraction of the stone. There was no data transfer or anything.

[@Firefax]

@@Eidlones To remove the Mind Stone, they had to separate everything that made Vision "himself" from the Mind Stone. That had to involve a massive transfer of information. They couldn't just sever all the connections to the Stone because it was such an integral part of his creation. If there was even the slightest chance that that information was stored somewhere, I think White Vision would think it was worth checking out.

[@Eidlones]

@Gerard J. Reyes And where are you getting this information from? All they say about it is they have to separate the mind stone from him, and it's an insanely dangerous procedure. They say nothing about separating his self from the mind stone, outside of severing the connections. It's like removing a part of someone's brain. You sever the connection when you make the cut. Yes he's a robot, but they give no indication they quarantined off part of his personality.

[@lordofalltime]

the next films is Shang Chi, The Eternals, Spiderman No Way Home, then Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness. But intersperced inbetween them is Falcon and the Winter Solder, Loki, Moon Knight and Ms Marvel enjoy

[@lanalan4157]

Sooo good......

[@mathmexican4234]

The new Vision might have all the knowledge of those memories, but he doesn't necesarily have the same feelings because he didn't live through the experiences. These are fundamentally different systems, and it will be interesting to see how they use him.

[@jimclayson]

That's pretty much the angle they took in the comics decades ago when Vision was disassembled and then put back together... although the MCU has altered or eliminated some HUGE details that were pertinent in the comics, like where Vision got his personality. No Simon Williams/Wonder Man in the MCU, so they went with JARVIS, who is already a major change from the Jarvis in the comics... and Hank Pym originally created Ultron, who in turn created Vision. Years and years of nuance and comic book history totally ignored, which breaks my heart just a little bit, even though I understand why thy omitted those details.

[@Karadjanov]

@@jimclayson I am a casual movie only fan and even I am disgusted with how the stories and characters got butchered and degraded since infinity war (probably sooner). I cannot even imagine what it would be like for a lifelong comic fan. p.s. In my opinion wandavision is the only decent show in a while and pretty much the last Marvel production worth seeing (no counting spiderman)

[@tonyfred123]

I wish they would cast you as Wanda's sister.

[@cruzjohnmark]

In the last scene. Wanda is reading the darkest of all books. Yes it contains infinite knowledge but it is a book that corrupts the reader. Destroy and taint the reader's soul

[@packer7915]

It was revealed later on that the commercials were actually Dr Strange trying to get to Wanda since he couldn't actually get through the hex.

[@Shap0o.PlayZz]

Addie is clearly excited by the end 😂😂.. so many questions

[@diondts]

Does anybody else think that Addie would make a beautiful Wanda?!?! Just sayin...

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Yes. My other subscriber Mary Cherry did the same thing.

[@traydevon]

You should totally cosplay in Wanda’s Scarlett Witch outfit.

[@riahw3750]

Yes vision has his memories back but he has no emotional connection to the memories or wanda so he isn't the same as before

[@cathyvickers9063]

Wanda is in the second Dr Strange movie! The costume she's now wearing is a darker version of the Scarlet Witch costume in the comics. With the reveal of witch Agatha, I face palmed! I had seen Agatha Harkness as a character in the comics, but never made the connection in this series!

[@NealMarchuk]

I still prefer to hope for a happy future for Wanda. Apparently, though, it'll be a long time coming. Thanks for sharing this series with us, Addie. I hope you enjoy whatever's next.

[@davidmcleod5133]

I hate it so much when people refer to Wanda as a villain in this. “Villain” denotes an intent to do something willfully evil; Wanda had no conscious part in what happened (it’s called a mental BREAKDOWN for a reason, people). The moment she realized she was hurting people, she set out to make things right, even at the cost of everything she had in the world. Sorry, but that’s what my dictionary defines as a… hero.

[@Pathfinder197]

Exactly. Even in Ultron, she and her brother obviously start with reason to think Stark’s a villain and they quickly switch sides when they realize Ultron’s true intent. Cinema Therapy also did a video about WandaVision, grief and maladaptive daydreaming that’s well worth watching. We see in the flashback to little Wanda stopping a Tony Stark bomb just by wishing it that she not only had powers before Hydra but that she probably would’ve been using maladaptive daydreaming all along because she wouldn’t have had access to therapy as a child. It seems likely that Wanda didn’t fully realize that she’s physically manifested her daydream and trapped the townspeople in it until the end of ep 8 when she finally sees her “home” is a soundstage.

[@davidmcleod5133]

@@Pathfinder197 I will take a look at that video. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@Wico90YT]

WandaVision, Multiverse of Madness and Coven of Chaos are going to make a great magic / Wanda trilogy.

[@davidmcleod5133]

Only if Wanda wakes up in her own bed in Coven of Chaos, and we find out Doctor Strange 2 was all a terrible dream that never happened.

[@jpaps4356]

Wanda/ Scarlet witch is a nexus being (hence the nexus ad) and also a mutant (Xmen) this series kinda rewrites her mcu past to make way for mutant in the mcu

[@yourfriendlymrvllkr]

"I am glad she is learning about herself" - Hm. Okay. We will see :D

[@Murrlin27]

Addie, do you know just how HUGE MASSIVE MEMEAGE Agatha All Along was, back when this ep aired? Good lord it was almost as big as Star Wars in 1977 lol

[@Pathfinder197]

Probably the greatest series Marvel will ever do - next level writing, acting and direction. However, you might want to lower your expectations for great writing in the big screen follow-up.

[@matthewhill2583]

Love your shirt btw 😊

[@vinnycordeiro]

Addie, you are on the right track on some of your speculations, but you will still be surprised on how they play out. In the comics, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are mutants (you know, X-Men and such), and are the offspring of Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, a.k.a. Magneto, one of the main X-Men villains. But because at the time Marvel Studios didn't have the rights for the mutant characters (it's a long story that dates back from the 90s), they had to change their origin for the MCU. However, her power is still the same: to manipulate reality. Up next is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, then you will be ready to watch Loki. This series begins immediately after a specific scene in Avengers: Endgame, you may remember it... 😉

[@can1526]

WandaVision is the best part of Phase 4

[@Tey816]

Episode 8 is one of my all time MCU Disney + episodes. They nailed it in regards to the penultimate episode. That quote from Vision is so profound and well executed. I'm really looking forward to future series from either of the two main characters. Love all of your reactions as well Addie.

[@garrigaj1]

For some context about the Darkhold, you can watch season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now that you finished WandaVision, you can move onto Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. I would suggest watching Loki before watching Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

[@andrewft31]

No have to watch Loki Eternals then Shang-Chi and then Spiderman No Way Home first before Doctor Strange 2 also Hawkeye and the Falcon series. A lot to take in but its good long term storytelling.

[@garrigaj1]

@@andrewft31 Eternals and Shang-Chi are stand-alone stories. Arguably, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is a better multiverse Spider-Man movie, especially since No Way Home was just a giant nostalgia trip. Loki ties into Kang the Conqueror, which comes after the events of Multiverse of Madness.

[@mrsekopi92]

Amazing reaction Addie

[@Demigord]

"i wish there was a way for her to keep her family!" ... ......... .......

[@tatiz111]

She more than likely did stop the bomb since stark tech is pretty reliable and not known to malfunction.

[@maximillianosaben]

I swear, this show went on a journey from fun and curious to emotionally devastating. Wanda (and Thor) just keeps losing so much and keeps going through repeated heartbreak. Tragic character. The family goodbye through and through just brings the tears.

[@marksullivan7766]

awesome review Addie 🤠

[@clarence3310]

I am so excited you reacting to Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness , cause its going to capture who scarlet witch is

[@oxhine]

Hey, Addie! It's the grand finale and most questions get answered. Wanda has been through DENIAL, ANGER, BARGAINING and DEPRESSION. She's ready for ACCEPTANCE. Here's my take on EPISODE 9: Agatha absorbs Wanda's Hex bolts leaving her hand shriveled as Agatha had done 300 years ago with her coven prompting Wanda to hurl a car at Harkness leaving just her boots peeking out WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST-style! Lol. Agatha confronts Wanda in the town square with the book from her sanctum revealed to be the DARKHOLD! Question RESOLVED. According to the book, the Scarlet Witch is a destroyer of worlds who OUTCLASSES the Sorcerer Supreme! DOTTIE is freed and identifies herself as Sara, a townie! Question RESOLVED. Monica finds a head shot of faux Pietro labeled 'RALPH BOHNER' along with other mail addressed to him! Question RESOLVED. Knowing he's another trapped townie, she sweeps him off his feet, perceives Agatha's purple energy signature emanating from a necklace and removes it freeing him! SWORD arrives to face THE INCREDIBLES! Lol. THE SHIP OF THESEUS: the famous philosophic problem and logic conundrum is beautifully represented by the two Visions. One is rebuilt but devoid of memory, the other is nothing but memory in a conditional form. Neither is the original yet both are derived from the original. Hex Vision unlocks the pathways to White Vision's bypassed memory core reintegrating all the data he possessed up until his death. The knowledge is back but not the soul. White Vision departs to reassess. Wanda traps Agatha in her Agnes persona as punishment and for future consultation. Agatha's last, ominous warning is that Wanda has no clue about what she's unleashed! Wanda takes her faux family home where they tuck the twins into bed. Vision and Wanda watch the receding Hex wall approach and he asks what he is. Wanda states he is the piece of the Mind Stone that exists in her. He is the embodiment of her grief, her hope and her love. Vision sheds a very human tear and waxes philosophic. He was a voice with no body then a non-human body then a memory made real. Who knows what form he'll take next? She cradles his face as he disappears. Troublingly, Wanda MAKES NO APOLOGIES despite her obvious shame. END-CREDIT ONE: As Jimmy and Monica chat, a Fed pulls Monica into the theater for a debrief only to reveal she's a Skrull sent by Fury to recruit her to the SWORD orbital platform, space-based duties and, most likely, Avengers membership. END-CREDIT TWO: In the shadow of MOUNT WUNDAGORE, casually-dressed Wanda drinks tea on the porch of a rustic cottage for any prying eye to see but her astral form, in full Scarlet Witch regalia, is poring through the DARKHOLD. It's Doctor Strange-style multi-tasking that's suddenly interrupted by cries for help from...her twins? How could that be since they were her imaginary creations? Are the twins really calling for her or is this another magical deception? UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: 1. What happened to the beekeeper? We infer he was either incorporated into Westview or ejected like Monica off-screen. 2. Who is Jimmy's missing witness? My guess is Dennis the mailman. "Don't kill me. I'm just the messenger." 3. Who is the aerospace engineer? The obvious guess is Reed Richards in a Fantastic Four tease. 4. Is Wanda magic or mutant? I'm banking on mutant. 5. Why Evan Peters? Seemingly, just for the sake of a meta gag. 6. Where has White Vision gone? Most certainly to be revealed down the line in the adaptation of "Visionquest". 7. How could this not have been on Strange's radar? The biggest mystery of the entire series to be explored in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness". If you'd like to learn more about Vision and Scarlet Witch's complex comic history now that the series is finished, I strongly encourage you to check out KZbinr James Hancock's primer on "Geekin' with James Hancock". Hancock knows his stuff and the showrunners obviously did their homework!

[@vinnycordeiro]

Addie already watched Hawkeye because it occurs on Christmas week, and she watched it in the appropriated time frame last year. :)

[@nathanmead9585]

It was a trip watching this during lockdown - with the whole weekly release thing, it gave something nice for everyone to look forward to (and make obsessive, incorrect predictions about 😂). Also, Agatha All Along really blew up when it came out. Weird stuff in crazy times.

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

Despite the discrepancy of Wanda's parent's death (come on writers, pay attention) this was a decent series. It was pretty slow at first but the last few episodes saved it. I know a lot of people hate Tony's fate but I honestly think Wanda had the most tragic storyline in the MCU... so far.

[@_WhiteW0lf_]

As a continuation of Wanda's journey, you need to watch Dr. Strange 2: The Multiverse of Madness. Also, you're one of the few who called on the Wizard of Oz reference.

[@Aceries_]

I already had a crush on Paul Bettany back from A Knight's Tale, but I swear he got MASSIVE DILF ENERGY as Vision, my god 😭

[@Hyp333R]

They never called her Scarlet Witch, because in the comics Wanda is a mutant and Marvel Studios didnt have rights to mutants. But this show came out after they reclaim the rights so they could use her name.

[@juandeldiablo696]

Addie I really hope you check out the daredevil series

[@PixelatedH2O]

In the comics Scarlet Witch can literally rewrite all of reality. She may be the most powerful mutant. We only see a fraction of that here.

[@DavidStebbins]

Great reaction! When I would read my brother's comic books back in the 70s, Vision was my favorite character, so this series hit me pretty hard as well. It is one of my favorite Marvel Universe projects. One of my favorite expressions of love is when Wanda's Vision, with his end immanent, prepares her to meet the reborn (white) Vision in the future with, "Who knows what I might be next?" and "It stands to reason, we've said good-bye before..."
