[@Zeppelinschaffner22]

Maybe not. The beekeeper definitely got debunked, but maybe not. The agent didn't pick the costume, wanda "picked" for him. . Or did she?! Really it's all still up in the air

Definetely not

[@darcymahon1006]

I mean, the bee keeper suit is to protect him from the hive like the hazmat suit was to protect from the radio waves?

[@NandovMovies]

I think some of Episode 4 is a red herring. Especially the "It's all Wanda" line. That feels off.

[@TheMAZZTer]

@@NandovMovies I think this is more about how via Episode 4 we gain a lot of information about SWORD, the hexagon shape, Wanda's level of involvement, the toy helicopter, etc, while your video seems to incorporate ideas from mostly Episodes 1-3 until the very end (at the beginning you even say only three episodes are out). The helicopter in particular was completely solved (it has the same id numbers as the drone Monica sends in). As far as "It's all Wanda" I agree Monica can only operate off of what she's experienced in there. Other than what Wanda did to her she knows even less than SWORD does at that point. But it does feel like Wanda is mostly in control and is just acting out her fantasy life to fool Vision into thinking it's real (and maybe herself too). I do think someone else (Agnes) helped kickstart everything, but ended up losing control to Wanda. You can see in Episode 3 Agnes is TERRIFIED of what would happen if Vision discovers the full truth... only person I can think she has reason to fear is Wanda, who she has been manipulating (we think).

I cannot comprehend how everyone is just ignoring the possibility that Wanda is just doing this to everyone. And they’re just straight up ignoring the moments of hostility when people break character. It’s just wild that everyone is like “someone has to be doing this to Wanda. It has to be be someone else”

[@melissamay1012]

Same! Like, maybe there isn't anyone else? Maybe she's actually just doing all this her self? But nooooooo, we need to prove mephisto is running the show!

[@_MaximumVoltage]

That’s what I was thinking too. Wanda in the comics has a long history of mental instability and I don’t see why they wouldn’t try to translate that into the MCU.

[@wilsonram39]

Whether Wanda is perpetuating this sitcom-reality, it was someone else that set her off and caused it to occur. I don't see Wanda travelling to a random town, taking it hostage, brainwashing the residents, and creating a false sitcom-reality...just to be with Vision. There's way to many unnecessary steps there for the end-goal. Someone else kick-started this sitcom-reality, and it wasn't Wanda. However, now that she has a life with Vision, she will perpetuate this reality as long as she can to stay with him.

[@helloill672]

Why would she go to New Jersey if it's all in her control?

[@liamwhite1719]

@@helloill672 cause it’s near New York and the Avengers were based out of New York... it’s close to home but still far enough away for her to retire

[@freedompancakes301]

“Look, it’s the star of the show.” Agnes tries playing it off as her saying that to her bunny, but she says it without even announcing herself to Wanda, and the fact that she says it as Wanda is looking at the helicopter from the real world. This would make sense if she was referring to Wanda since Wanda is in fact the star not only of WandaVision the Disney+ series, but also the sitcom reality.

"Pepe Silvia," this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Pepe's mail is getting sent back to me. Pepe Silvia! Pepe Silvia! I look in the mail, and this whole box is Pepe Silvia! So I say to myself, "I gotta find this guy! I gotta go up to his office and put his mail in the guy's goddamn hands! Otherwise, he's never going to get it and he's going to keep coming back down here." So I go up to Pepe's office and what do I find out, Mac? What do I find out?! There is no Pepe Silvia. The man does not exist, okay? So I decide, "Oh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper." There's no Pepe Silvia? You gotta be kidding me! I got boxes full of Pepe! All right.

[@Tre_Storm_Art]

Wanda is doing this. I've known this from the jump. Or they're gaslighting me. I'm pretty sure the events of infinity war and endgame broke her. She watched the only person who she connects with on an intimate level die at her own hand, then die again. She accepted her death as a mercy, but it was false. She confronted the person who took everything from her, and he doesn't care. She wants to be normal again. She's lost everything and everyone fears her. There's a lot of references to her life before Ultron. She wants a family, and a community that accepts her. She's retreating into a fantasy because she can't handle the reality that everything and everyone she ever loved has been destroyed infront of her, or even because of her. Like in the comics, this is a mental break and she's shaping reality around her to ignore her problems.

[@Tre_Storm_Art]

That being said, I agree with a heck of a lot of this, just while I think Agnes is involved, Wanda is the one doing all of this

[@miriamrosemary9110]

Well said

[@TrickyD]

@@Tre_Storm_Art That is because Agnes is Wanda's subconcious desire to be a normal mother and wife, even when this simply is impossible because she loves a (dead) synthezoid. Because of her reality warping powers her twins are only alive within the reach of her hex magic which probably is 5 miles.

[@Tre_Storm_Art]

I do believe Agnes is a real person, like the other unwilling participants in the fantasy, she may not be from Westview or maybe she is and I'm paranoid, but I'd like to think she's here to either help or hurt Wanda as another witch of sorts.

[@TrickyD]

[@katherinealvarez9216]

I’m still wondering why the commercials are comments on Wanda’s past and connections to HYDRA and Stark, and why two of those products sound like weapons.

[@johnbalk6091]

If you remember Age of Ultron, Wanda and Pietro tell Ultron that when they were kids, a Stark bomb/missile struck the building they lived in but didn’t detonate. Wanda’s exact words are “We wait for Tony Stark to kill us.” So yeah, the toaster is a metaphor. The Hydra watch has the name Strucker on it, an allusion to the man who experimented on them both. Then, there’s the Hyrda-soap or whatever it was. Which probably has something to do with brainwashing. My theory is that the commercials are either her subconscious or some repressed memories. Or they’re just cool nods for the fans to dork out over. IDK , but I’m enjoying the heck out this show! Hope that helps Katherine!

[@miriamrosemary9110]

[@alexfurnas1263]

Episode 5 all but confirms the theory that Agnes is manipulating events - the sitcom reality itself is all Wanda's creation, but I think Agnes is subtly influencing Wanda's decisions and the way she uses her powers. Agnes obviously sets up the dead dog situation to broach the subject of bringing people back from the dead (in 80s sitcom "special episode" fashion, of course). And just a little bit later, Pietro shows up at the door. I think it's clear Wanda resurrected Pietro based on that dead dog conversation. But I think it's also crucial that this is Fox/XMen Pietro rather than Ultron Pietro. Theory: Agnes knows Wanda is powerful enough to create a hole between dimensions, and has been subtly pushing her to do so - the angle is to resurrect the dead, which Wanda can't do in terms of straight up necromancy (at least for living organic beings), but she can bring the alternate version of a dead person from a different reality where they're still alive. Agnes wants to create a rip in the multiverse, and has been nudging Wanda in the direction of doing so. I bet she had Wanda's ear well before the Westview situation, subtly convincing her to try resurrecting the dead, with the eventual goal of getting Wanda to breach the multiverse. I wouldn't be surprised if she had some influence over Wanda resurrecting Vision as well.

I’m thinking that a lot of the show’s mysteries hinge on a question that I’ve been having: Is Wanda aware of the commercials? Episode 4 made a big deal about Darcy and Woo not paying attention to them, which makes me feel they’re more important. We’re only halfway through, but so far it has seemed that Wanda is in charge of Westview. I think Agnes is pulling her strings, and she and/or her mysteriously absent husband needs Wanda’s kids for... something. The commercials lean on Wanda’s past, talking about Hydra, Stark, and Strucker. I don’t know if they’re Wanda’s subconscious trying to poke through, or more of her just trying to recontextualize her traumas into something less terrible.

This will tie into Doctor Strange, and eventually Young Avengers as they are all starting to appear. Wiccan, Speed, Stature, Iron Lad and Hawkeye all exist in the MCU now, I bet anything Falcon and Winter Soldier will deal with the dark beginnings of the Super Soldier Serum which brings us Patriot

Excellent ideas coming together! Love it. Don't agree with everything, but you added a lot of new info that I agree ties in beautifully. Also, regarding bees, from episode 4 we now know that the "anomaly" of the town is in the shape of a hexagon! :) Thanks for the video, and keep theorizing!

[@unearnedopinion]

Solid Theory! Well done

6:46 THE BABIES OF CHICKENS. I mean... you’re not wrong 😂

And in the finale, we got a crushed witch under a heavy object with only her shoes poking out!

Waiting between weeks is worth it for extra Nando videos!

[@calebsilvergleid9797]

Not gonna lie, the Wizard of Oz thing just really took the video off the rails

[@user-wx8mi1pd6g]

In a good way or bad?

[@miriamrosemary9110]

It was unexpected, but I liked it, and I think it added to it. Not perfectly, but a little!

[@ekx5120]

Nando: has theory Episode 4: hold on

[@brodyman30]

The amount of people who just don't understand this basics of this show is astounding. Like wow the show isn't all mindless punching. Marvel has been pretty stake for me for awhile but I love this show.

[@themadtitan7603]

Dude your theory just gained a whole lot more credence with the recent episode. I think Agnes/Agatha might be working with a figure like a Mephesto or Grim Reaper on manipulating Wanda by giving her the ability to create what she wants (Westview) and in return gain something of it; her twins specifically. That's why Agnes stops herb in ep3 from telling Vision about what's really happening, they can't have this reality break apart before the children are grown. In ep5, Agnes offers to babysit the twins just like you predicted, and sprays lavender on them which she handwaves away with a dull excuse but later on we know it was likely used to accelerate the twins' growth (or maybe give them the ability to do so) I think the subtle detail that might "confirm" all of this are the hexagons Wanda and Vision at the end of the first 2 episodes, symbolizing that Wanda was under a bigger hive mind from the start just like the residents of Westview.

[@samurosekitten5383]

Holy shit! I think the fact that you called Agnes babysitting the twins gets way too little recognition!!

[@NiheiTsutomuFan]

Agreee

[@MATABEI]

Wow! Your Wizard Of OZ comparisons are mindblowing! Gotta keep that in mind as the series proceeds~

[@ericvillla]

Everyone: it's Mephisto Nando: pineapples

[@NandovMovies]

Mephisto is the pineapple. It's so obvious now.

[@TheRagingwerepanda]

I fucking knew it!

[@marteng1941]

The best theory I've heard, which is not in opposition to most of this, is that Agnes = Agatha Harkness. In the comics she's the mentor of Scarlet Witch. Agnes white bunny is named Scratchy. Agatha Harkness son is named Nicholas Scratch, who is a villain in the comics, and often in cahoots with the devil or even holds devil-like powers. His name is derived from nicknames of the devil - Old Nick/Scratch. And he has often worked with Mephisto. His powers are often connected to taking over towns/haunting them, influencing minds and traveling through dimensions etc. Moreover, both Agatha Harkness and Nicholas Scratch used to nanny Franklyn Richards. The son of Reed Richards. Guess what they called the beekeeper guy - whose face they still havent shown us. Franklyn. Don't know why they would introduce Reed Richards adult child before the Fantastic 4, but it's too much of a coincidence, right? In ep5 they even call an astrophysicist for help... Got to be Reed Richards no? Even though Woo being abbreviation of wizard of oz was a cool thing. I bet it's Nick Scratch who turns out to be the wizard of Oz.

[@TwentyPercentDash]

I'm pretty sure Wanda used her mind-bending powers to manipulate a bunch of people into helping her live out her fantasy of a life with Vision, in order to cope with his death. The town is her happy place, free from harsh reality, at the expense of the townsfolk's freedom. All the weird stuff is other people trying to infiltrate the illusion to stop Wanda. I assume the show will end with Wanda accepting reality for what it truly is, climaxing with her saying goodbye to Vision one last time.

[@diefty94]

The most famous non Yoda baby.

[@trekjudas]

Mephisto isn't behind this, Hydra is!! Strucker, "Its the age of miracles!" Hydra wants Wanda to make more "miracles" for them!

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

Okay, The Wizard of Oz is tied into it, because there is a magician who doesn't do real magic (Woo), and a witch (Agatha). Among other things.

[@blturn]

I thought it Wanda doing this to herself since she said “No.” to seeing the beekeeper. The way she said it was akin to seeing blood on white linen. “You have to do it yourself.” Perhaps a nod to how she has to make her own reality to cope.

[@silentbill7189]

Watching this: Fairly common theory, lots of bees, more common theories, WOO stands for -- MIND BLOWN!

[@uBlurEdits]

As an Englishman, may I just say, you nailed the pronunciation of Lincolnshire having heard many Americans screw up the pronunciation of -shire before it was refreshing

[@magicschoolbus3948]

Man I wish that beekeeper was swarm and not some random guy

[@joshuagardner4095]

Like many others here in the comments, I think ep 4 shows that Nando got this way wrong. Another thing I don't see mentioned: There's a major shift in one scene that has been portrayed twice. In ep3, during Wanda and Geraldine's confrontation, Wanda is on the right and Geraldine is on the left, and our perspective is that Geraldine is the antagonist to our hero, Wanda. But when we re-view the scene in ep 4, we now know that Geraldine is Monica, the sweet little girl who designed Capt Marvel's costume colors. They also set her up as much more sympathetic with the harrowing experience of waking up from the blip having missed the recovery, return of cancer, and death of her mother, another hero of ours. Now, we view the confrontation with Monica on the right and Wanda on the left. They shifted camera perspective because they're trying to get us to shift from thinking of Wanda as hero to Wanda as (quasi-)villain. There may be something else nefarious going on the background, but what they've shown us so far suggests much more strongly that Wanda is the problem that everyone needs to solve. She's abducted a town and enslaved them to serve out her fantasy of having a family and normal life with Vision. She's still our hero because we know the pain she's suffered. But that just makes us want them to solve the problem without killing her like they killed so many other villains.

[@adipryde]

Everyone's saying episode 4 ruins this; but episode 5 confirms (almost) that Agnes is after the kids; she wants them to grow. This video was brilliant given the fact that it was just after 2/3 episodes. Also, what do you think about Ultron coming back; Ik a very wild guess but sword was trying to experiment with vision before wanda broke him off and Paul said he immensely respect the brilliant actor he had a chance to work with at the end of the season ( could be James Spader / could also be Benedict ). wildest guess is Magneto but it's not that wild after the latest episode. :p

[@NandovMovies]

I like the theory and it's possible however I have heard that the actor Bettany worked with was someone he hadn't worked with before so I don't think Ultron would count. Benedict would though. I am leaning towards something like Fassbender's Magneto.

[@mermaidmelodies1492]

That WAS a neat theory, no one else has postulated it and I enjoyed it a lot.-Thanks!

[@NandovMovies]

Thank you

[@SoloDoloSpaceman]

*Agnes is Agatha Harkness* [Ag]atha Hark[nes]s *Ralph is Mephisto* Ralph is a character in “The Sopranos”. In the episode “Whoever Did This”, the characters’ dialogue frequently references “Sympathy for the Devil”. Ralph is the name of the main character of the novel “Lord of the Flies”. Beelzebub (Ba'al Zəbûb) translates to “Lord of the Flies”. Agnes says her and Ralph’s “anniversary” is June 2nd. June 2nd was the first day of the Salem Witch Trials.

[@JonLemerond1]

It just needs to end with Wanda learning that she and her brother are these very rare things called "mutants", and this whole thing was some villain's plan to manipulate Wanda into destroying the few other mutants in the world; but instead she responds... "No. More mutants"

[@wherearetheturtles3963]

Whoa I hadn’t thought about the parallels to the wizard of oz, that’s a good spot

[@tammythread6898]

the WoO theory is the most original analysis I've seen yet (and I've watched five different channels cover the same four episodes) so thank you for such an original and insightful take on the show! it was really engaging and I'm thoroughly convinced!

[@FratterKnox]

Oddly enough the most recent episode made me believe Agnes was the underlying antagonist even more. No one in the “show”, knows they’re in a show, EXCEPT Agnes. I think she knows what’s happening and wants to drive Wanda even more mad.
