WandaVision: Every COMMERCIAL Explained | DR STRANGE Connection

WandaVision has been a terrific Marvel Cinematic Universe story--but it's also a deconstruction of the TV sitcom. But the most cryptic part of the show is the commercials that run in between 6 episodes' act breaks.
In this video we explain the symbolism in the commercials, and hat they mean to Wanda, Vision, Agatha, HYDRA, and the Avengers. we also speculate on what could be causing them. Is it Wanda's subconscious? (probably) Some distant galactic force like her Scarlet Witch vision? (could be) Or is there a deeper MCU connection, and they're messages being sent by Doctor Strange? (sounds like fun)

Agatha hasnt been controlling Wanda. Agatha is trying to figure how she did what she did. So she’s been manipulating situations to try to get Wanda to wake up. She says specifically that in the last episode

Then why did Wanda say "I don't know how this all started"??

[@Shp0ngIed]

I wonder whether the deed to the property was setup by someone other than Vision. Early in the show Wanda and Vision discuss why Vision would need to be abbreviate words when he has super speed. Bit of a stretch of course, but would the abbreviation be a mistake by the actual culprit, who could be either of Agatha or Hayward or someone else involved in a scheme against Wanda. The fact that Agatha has a house containing an extensive and old looking basement layer for her witchcraft within throwing distance of Wanda's property seems like its more than coincidence. Perhaps the neighbour that both of them share, Dottie, had a hand in the setup?

[@BiffTummyTum]

Amazed you said nothing about the blinking red light on the Stark toaster correlating with the blinking red light on the Stark bomb. Surely that advert is a metaphorical retelling of Wanda's life. The advert shows how Stark tech will change your life and Stark tech certainly changed Wanda's life, providing both the death of her parents and the 'birth' of her true love, Vision. The Yo-Magic advert isn't a warning that her magic won't get her out of the situation, surely it's a subliminal warning that her lack of knowledge, in regards to her powers, is a dangerous impediment to resolving her situation. Yo-Magic; literally 'Your Magic' is locked away in a 'foil lidded pot' so you can't access it. Learn how to open the pot and you'll be fine - you need to learn how to unleash your power.

[@PTRMAN]

Oh hey. That might be how Agatha is limiting how much Strange can interfere here. It looks more like the color of the magic in his movie. And it's hard to believe that Agatha could infiltrate Wanda's reality easily, but Strange couldn't do the same. If he wants to be there but can't, it should be because Agatha is in the way.

[@generalcodsworth4417]

Yes, it is orange. But I think that means something and is still related to Wanda. The witches of Agatha's old family/group thing all used a light blue magic. Agatha overpowered them using her dark purple. Wanda has a dark red magic, which has the same relationship to that shade of orange that Agatha's purple had to her mother's blue. I think that this means Wanda's power is related to and is stronger than the magic surrounding the book. Perhaps orange magic is stronger than blue or purple, which is why Agatha can't open the book, but since Wanda's chaos magic is stronger still, she can access the book and all the secrets it contains.

It’s a magic hex. It’s been clearly established that there are spells that can’t be broken by other wizards and witches. Perhaps something about the hex is specifically locking Strange’s physical form out-until it starts to weaken in ep 8.

[@SaraAdrian]

@@theinsurance2450 that’s the thing though. First time she went through she was subjected to the false reality. If she hadn’t been thrown out it’s unlikely would have ever got out from under Wanda’s spell. Also if Dr Strange just showed up, Wanda probably wouldn’t have taken that well and things could have gotten much worse. We didn’t see the two interact in Endgame but she probably knows who he is and would recognize him. So for him, he has to decide if showing up would be something that he could safely do, and if showing up in person would be beneficial. I imagine if Agatha can remain free of Wanda’s influence, so can Dr Strange. Also, he’s probably aware of Agatha’s involvement as well, so he has to decide if coming in like a cannon against one witch that can rewrite reality and another witch hundreds of years old who’s got some fancy book he probably wants. I bet he wants to save Wanda and make sure he can get the book before Agatha runs off with it. Dude is playing chess here taking the problem apart like a surgeon.... if it’s him which I hope it is

My belief with the commercials starting to become more honest is that it’s around the same time Wanda starts coming to terms with her grief and the things she’s done. Wanda was in fact processing what was happened through her creations of Vision and the kids. It’s when Agatha starts meddling more and influencing the world to try and figure things out that artificially extends everything. The commercials are her subconscious healing her trauma while also acting as sort of anti-bodies to outside influence.

I like the Doctor Strange theory. I think it fits well. He can probably just insert the commercials as is, playing on the reality and subliminally feeding it to her in packages like therapy. This show is very inception regardless of if that's true because Agatha had a grift similar in nature. Really loving how this show turned out. It is following bold super hero dramas like Jessica Jones, Watchmen and Legion in the Easter egg, fan theory, meta-ness of it all, as well as the deep social commentary. It is a horror movie disguised as a domestic comedy drama.

14:56 the drone was not 1st thing of color in the show, it was actually the blinking light on the toaster in the first commercial.

I'm always ready for more Doctor Strange. I really want home to be the person sending the commercialized messages. Also, still holding out for a Mephisto reveal as well.

[@aDudesNerdery]

I heard time too many times, now it sounds like a sound! You Ted lasso'd me! Great episode, really appreciate your take on this. Totally plausible

[@KrishaRhee]

I'm gonna have to sit with this for a little while longer, but, my first thought is: "Does Strange's ability give him access to events he didn't participate in?" So far, we've seen him use a/the Time Stone in situations where he's been present, so, how would he have enough context around Wanda's traumas to want to influence her to do something differently? If his astral form is being scrambled by the Hex, how is he able to convey coherent, if subliminal, messages? I'll probably have more questions, but those are the ones up top.

[@raizen912]

I really hope it's Dr. Strange. If Agatha really is the villain and she won't be the one to take Wanda under her wing, It'd be dope to see him take on that role and would be a good lead up into multiverse of madness.

[@RusTsea196T]

The amazing Ryan Arey does his dissertation on WandaVision commercials This is next-level stuff. Great job!

[@kayjay2094]

Best video on the commercials I've seen so far. I really appreciate the "Dr. Strange is sending Wanda messages" theory.

[@alexthegoatyt5207]

Knowing what we know now, why would the town want Wanda to have kids? Was “for the children” the town trying to say that they want their children back?

[@tsuumee4545]

Old comment, but the town wouldn’t want Wanda to have kids; Agatha would (to test if she can create life from nothing.) It could’ve been the second thing, too, though.

[@Alassandros]

I believe the commercials are only for us, the audience, to act as fun meta reminders for what the themes of the show are.

[@spdewertton]

While that is entirely possible, it's also the most boring of all the solutions.

[@Alassandros]

@@spdewertton Yeah, well, it's also the most likely given we have no acknowledgement of the commercials by any character.

[@patrickmorgan3503]

this was incredible Ryan, thanks for making it!

[@wakko701]

Literally just came across your vids.... it's been 4 hours now and can't stop tching! Good on you bro!

[@amaranta__]

"Wanda is the same in all realities", 5 min later: "Maybe, it's Wanda from another reality." What?

[@saritshull3909]

It means she’s a constant. As in she always exists in any given universe

[@kianabalacich8649]

Great analysis of all the subtext in WandaVision. Its awesome how this show dove into Wanda's psychological processing of her experiences

[@melomet3789]

I really enjoy the way you analyze things. Thanks!

[@jscott4reel]

Strawberry corn flakes: the flakes represent how Vision’s pieces flake off when he exits the Hex 🙄

[@milliekearney1365]

Why’d you have to add the eye roll, it was unnecessary

[@killah_disciple1]

Reed Richards would be amazed at the level of reaching in this video.

[@KingPhilip_ULP]

This is the best breakdown of the commercials yet

[@onuw]

Omg, this is the Wandavision video I've been waiting for and it does NOT disappoint!!

[@Sonic-xg3ox]

Imagine if Wanda had already met Agatha and realised her true potential as the Scarlett Witch before Infinity War, there won't have been a Endgame

[@bztube888]

She only fought Thanos once and she won. Now it makes sense. Thanos was lucky.

[@dfailsthemost]

Is Agatha Shutter Islanding Wanda? Is she actually there to try too give Wanda the guidance she needed?

[@tuhmater2985]

When you get an ad in the middle of this video and immediately begin examining it for hidden messages

[@bloemundude]

One thing not mentioned in this video is the connection between the sorcerer supreme mainly protecting Earth from threats from outside our dimension and Wanda's nexus-powers being from outside this dimension/reality. This supports the Dr. Strange theories. P.S. Your outro white doggie is adorable.

[@Tommyturbo1981]

What's up with the Brad pit meme that subliminally pops up? 1:46

[@JinGalactica]

whatever happens, if Dr Strange shows up and they all fight in that psychedelic dimension he went through in the movie would be mind blowing.

[@ryangillego5232]

You nailed it, Ryan. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@evangelinapark7824]

Your videos are amazingly crafted! I'll keep watch for your next one :D

[@arvarvanwar]

1:47 Is the single frame of Brad Pitt a joke I don't get?

[@tonycole340]

it's a fight club reference

[@arvarvanwar]

@@tonycole340 Ah that would make sense, should probably watch that at some point

[@TheDark1903]

I don't want Strange as "the secret hero", but secret ally might make a hell of a twist.

[@J.O.R.D]

Timey Timey Time 😂😂 seeing that time montage is something i never knew I needed to see, made me laugh and cheered me up so thanks Ryan 👏🏽

[@jingan7749]

This is absolutely amazing and I hope more people would catch on to watch it!

[@carmenweber6211]

@ScreenCrush - Could y'all turn on the subtitles? I have a better time understanding the videos with the subtitles.

[@Nightboomfer]

“But I have one final theory on who’s sending Wanda these messages... . . . . It’s yer mum.”

[@Kavilion]

What a twist!

[@rameen.f22]

I dont even know why that comes up everywhere 😫😂

[@sterlingpatterson6699]

The person who clipped out all thoes spoken "time" word in the Dr Strange movie shows dedication. I'm impressed

[@trippytimesjosh355]

the soap ad was also an Easter egg for the brainwashing soap that Phil coulson talked about on Agents of Shield. It might seem far-fetched but it wasn't this right around the time that Pietro which may be the X-Men version of the character emerged into the MCU. This would make sense if Wandavision has the Multiverse and brought back Pietro, that it would also reference a pocket reality within a pocket reality. That's essentially what the framework was on Agents of Shield, where Phil coulson talked about the brainwashing soap.
