[@eilish3210]

Yeah honestly, like I understand that it's her controlling absolutely everything and that this is just a way that she's coping and that none of it is real, but whatever!! I wanna watch them make corny jokes and host dinner parties!!

[@robynwyrick]

I think when Mr. Hart starts choking, Wanda is actually doing it. Subconsciously she is freaked out by the line of questioning. Reflexively she starts to choke him out - just like she does in the final episode to all the townspeople (including Ms. Hart) when confronted with the trauma she was causing. So at the dinner, when Ms. Hart is repeating, "Stop it," to Wanda, she isn't asking for Wanda to save her husband, she means for Wanda to stop killing him.

[@DLxxx]

That can't be can it? Wanda only reacted that extremely in the final episode because she was being told how much the people were suffering all at once, and it overwhelmed her. But in episode 1, she still had no clue what was going on, how it was happening, or that she could control anything. I guess you could argue it was more magic on auto pilot, but it seems more like a result of Mr Hart's real persona breaking through and interfering with the script.

[@disconsolate3235]

@@DLxxx I believe she was subconsciously choking him but she at that time had no idea

[@Lockn3s5]

@@DLxxx That's what I got from the moment especially because Mrs. Hart turns to Wanda telling her to stop it and Mr. Hart starts choking right as he's about to say something that would reveal what's going on as he's saying "Why did you..." the same way other characters weren't able to fully say the sentences they were trying to say. You say Wanda didn't know so she couldn't have cause Mr. Hart to choke but in the finale when everyone is expressing their suffering to Wanda and she yells to stop she accidentally chokes every single one of them. By the finale you should get everything that's going on and that first reality breaking scene was clearly an instinctual reaction from Wanda's subconscious using her magic.

[@AlleyWolf123]

[@shindoushuichi0287]

Actually the accent drop has everything to do with who she is trying to be. With the accent she is her embracing her traumatic past and the despair she grew up with. When she loses the accent, which she had by Civil War, She is pretending to be a normal westerner, and even when she was with Vision she still had the fake american accent in place. Its only when her wrath comes out does the original REAL wanda speak.

[@orthusgames9888]

That makes sense. I mean there's that cliche in basically all media that when a character gets angry or irritated they begin slipping into their native tongues. Starting with the accent getting stronger and finishing with (depending on the context) screaming in your native tongue.

[@Quote_ation]

What I really love is Agnes saying she’s neighbors “... to the right - my right, not yours” means not only that WandaVision’s house is to the right of Agatha’s, but also that Agatha has the perspective of an outsider since her house is on Camera-Right while looking at the front of WV’s house.

[@mashin4104]

i love how this show is pretty dark just looking at it on face value, but the deeper you look the worse it gets. Like how quicksilver says in the halloween episode "so, where were you keeping all these kids". As if Wanda was just keeping all the kids locked away in shut-down mode the whole time. And the people on the edge of the town just being on a short movement loop. WandaVision is by far the darkest part of the MCU so far. Especially when we realize that all the citizens of Westview are aware that they´re trapped.

[@Blue-mj5gm]

Ikr. I can still clearly picture that woman and her laundry, doing the same arm movement over and over again, with that single tear rolling down her face. This show is really creepy.

[@rhiannongreen2642]

I feel the more you watch it the sadder it gets, particularly her relationship with Vision. She created this to "get him back" but controls his every move, gaslights him when he deviates and actually doesn't spend that much time with him! He's at work (even on Saturdays) and away from her for most of the episodes. I was confused by how well he takes it but I suppose by the time he gets back to Wanda he is aware he isn't real. Absolutely heart-breaking when he asks if his kids will be okay.

Debra Jo Rupp deserves a basket of wins for the end of that dinner scene in the first episode. Look and listen as she says "Stop it". She has that laugh and smile that nothing is wrong, but you can see flashes where her eyes are panicked, pleading, desperate, and the corners of her mouth drop ever so slightly, and there's a very slight waver in her voice -- like she's fighting to break through, begging that her husband won't be a casualty of this sitcom mishap.

[@elenanojkovic2554]

Yeah, that scene was disturbing. Itbwas more subtle then later breakes in the reality but I think that is the very thing that made it unnerving. When you have something obviously 'broken' you can point to iz and say 'yeah, that's wrong' and ne done with it. When it's this subtle it's just wrong enough for your brain to Pick it up but it takes a bit longer and because of that it lingers.

Having a live studio audience for episode 1 DEFINITELY was the right call.

[@NobodyXChallengerYT]

So, I know that a lot of people regarded Peters’ casting as “Fietro” as a bait-and-switch, but it was actually really clever. There was no other person Marvel could’ve cast that would’ve kept the audience wondering whether that Pietro was real or not. It carried on the mystery element that was so good in the beginning for just a couple more episodes. Not to mention it was done an episode after we get an outsider view of Westview- just when we think we’re one step ahead of the mystery and ahead of Wanda

Also, they absolutely nailed the costuming for the 50s, right down to the underthings! Wanda is very clearly wearing a girdle, petticoat, and bullet bra in the first episode, something that you might not pick up on consciously unless you’re familiar with the 50s silhouette and how it was achieved. Her dinner dress (the one with the bow on the front) even looks to be either a true vintage garment or a wonderful reproduction, and I immediately recognized Agatha/Agnes’s plaid dress to be from British Retro UK, a brand that perfectly replicates vintage clothes. Absolutely outstanding detail! (The only thing I have *slight* issue with is that I wish Elizabeth Olson had adopted a transatlantic accent for the first episode- that very 50s, flowy and lilting way of speaking that you see in old movies.

[@Wayward-Son]

The way it looked like to me was in the first couple of episodes, Wanda was still getting used to the hex and understanding it. I don't think when she created the hex it was entirely conscious. I don't think she was thinking "I want to live in a sitcom TV show with my roboyfriend and episode this and this is gonna happen". When she first sees the new Vision she looked genuinely shocked. I think she just wanted an escape, she wanted her normal life with Vision and her magic created the hex based off her subconscious. Because to her, watching the sitcoms was her only understanding of a normal life. She seemed genuinely surprised when she saw Vision and the hex, but she had what she wanted so she wasn't gonna question it and she just went along with the sitcom. Then when Mr Hart started choking and nobody did anything, she realized she was totally in control and she had to give Vision "permission" to save him. I don't think she necessarily "wrote a script," it was all her subconscious, and she just went along with it at first. Then as she realized she had more control she started micro managing more and more, and ironically thats when things got worse and worse. Kind of like when someone tells you to "breath normally" you forget how to fucking breath. That's just how I saw it when I watched. Anyone else have thoughts?

[@disconsolate3235]

This is such an excellent way to put it and I think it makes a lot of sense. It explains why she was so hesitant at the choking scene in the first episode but so much more certain and direct with her ‘cuts’ as the series progressed like her “no.” In episode 2 and outright cut when vision asked what was wrong. Her subconscious was slowly seeping in and she was started making the conscious decisions in the sitcom world

[@Wayward-Son]

@@disconsolate3235 it also makes her a lot more sympathetic if you ask me. Cause if you look at from the approach of she knew exactly what she was doing from the start then she knew she was controlling these people and locking them away and that's super messed up and if you ask me, borderline irredeemable. But I look at it like her powers are basically a genie. She told her powers "I want a world where vision and I can live together" and her powers did the rest. Then when she was confronted with what she was doing she tried to ignore it which is still horrible and wrong, but eventually when it was right in her face and all the townsfolk confronted her at once, she was horrified with what she'd done. It's the classic "be careful what you wish for"

[@L1701]

She wasn’t. The Hex was her powers reacting to a mental breakdown.
