People turned on this show so quickly because of the Fietro reveal but WandaVision was never about expanding the universe or introducing mutants. It’s a brilliant exploration of grief and the character of Wanda Maximoff. Elizabeth Olsen is outstanding in this show, I don’t think any of the other Marvel shows will be able to top WandaVision for me. It’s a truly beautiful story. Great video!

[@amanshukla6122]

There is Daredevil. But u r right.

[@dr.little7311]

@@amanshukla6122 I meant like the Disney+ Marvel shows. Daredevil is fantastic.

[@amanshukla6122]

@@dr.little7311 They are off to a great start at least. The best part about WandaVision is that I didn't originally expect to like it as much as I did. Now, after spending 8 weeks with the show I am in love. This series is close to my heart now alongside Daredevil. And yes Elizabeth Olsen is friggin brilliant, I didn't expect the performance she gives which is some of the most epic stuff I have ever seen. Paul Bettany was great too, especially since I saw Uncle Frank days before the series started airing , I went from crying while watching Paul Bettany to laughing while watching Paul Bettany, which is insane to me.

[@MTech07]

@@amanshukla6122 That happened also to me. I started just to understand the Universe going forward. I sincerely felt for her and everything that was happening. It has been the only MCU serie/movie I cried. It was really cathartic.

[@em-pr5jv]

Wanda's story is so heartbreaking. I wish I could just give her a hug. WandaVision was beautifully made. Well done Marvel 🙌🏼

This comment about the plandemic won't age well.

[@caressmorell7887]

Maladaptive Daydreaming represented magically. She is grief stricken and dissociates herself from reality and creates her own reality where she is safe and her innermost desires are fulfilled. Because she is the Scarlet Witch she can materialize her dreams and desires while us humans don’t have that luxury. A very human superhuman.

[@LanaDelTako]

I never imagined maladaptive daydreaming to get such a good physical representation in media since it's something almost no one knows about

[@The_Memorial]

Some people say her family wasnt real. That it was just a fantacy. I am not gonna discuss how vision came from the part of the mind stone thats in wanda or the fact that her children will return.... all i am going to say is this. "What makes something real? Is it the bones and blood? Is it the physical form? "What we love we believe, and what we believe is real"

[@GageStorer]

The strength and growth it took for a character who had lost her parents, been raised by an evil organisation through torture and experimentation, lost her brother, was forced to kill the man she loved, had him brought back and then killed again to then have to make the choice to let her dream family that she herself had created go again all so that she could heal and move on is unlike anything before it. It’s Sophie’s Choice times a thousand.

@@GageStorer some call her a villain, a monster. I say she is human.

[@ericbrown1101]

@@GageStorer I just love that Hollywood finally gave us a hero with real emotions who doesn't just brush off tragedy like it's nothing. They show her genuinely struggling with that like a real person would.

[@LucyWhiskers]

Thanks for not saying "move on" at all in this video. There is healing, coping, and moving forward through grief. But you don't really "move on" when it's a prominent loss. It's something no one fully understands unless they've dealt with it themselves, but grief is a very unique emotion that never entirely leaves you. WandaVision handled it beautifully. And your analysis of it was perfect. We absolutely need more stories like this. So many people don't understand grief or know how to comfort others going through it. Shows like this help to normalize it. And that is SO important.

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

Audience: Hey Marvel, the world sucks right now. We're not ok. Distracts us please. Wanda: My family's dead. I'm not ok. Sam: I'm black in America. I'm not ok. Audience: ...You're not what we wanted, but you are what we needed. How did you know?

Wandavision is easily the best thing Marvel has ever produced so far. What an amazing journey.

[@alecvalencia9851]

When I started to watch this show I never imagined that it'll makes me feel something with my depression and helps me to understand that I got a problem. Wanda is a complex character and I love how they use the grief to explain things about lost

[@ice9charnas791]

i love Wandavision so much. it quickly turned into one of my comfort shows (im sure there’s irony in there somewhere) Wanda has lost everything and all she wants is to go back to what is comfortable for her which is sitcoms

[@LilSailorrr]

Considering Wanda and I have fundamentally the same story, minus the super human abilities, wanda vision gives me something to grasp onto, and a sense of relatability seeing that someone else has gone through those waves of grief as well. WandaVision came at such a dark time, and I truly have that to thank.

[@ImTheBatmann]

I keep coming back to this video to feel what it was the WandaVision gave us. What a well-written show, I’m still in awe with the expression of the stages of grief this show portrays so effortlessly.

[@jasmineskye4406]

For me, Wandavision, The Falcon and Winter Soldier and Hawkeye were wonderful. We saw the real life effects of being an Avenger. They are beautiful shows.

[@darkhoursofday6250]

I agree with this completely. It has taken the predictable cut and paste tedium of Falcon and Winter Soldier to make me appreciate how good and important WandaVision was. The entire show was a window into a world we too often ignore. It seriously made me understand more what goes on within myself. What other show can ever boast such power?

[@GageStorer]

I’m glad you enjoyed it :) WandaVision gave us what we needed and ended up telling the ultimate story of loss and the grieving process.

[@tlozmeowcatz7991]

I'm glad there are others who feel the same about FAWS tbh, it has potential but feels like it focuses on doing too many different things at once. I think part of the reason why WandaVision is so good is because it focuses on one particular thing (Wanda's story) and does it really well. That and the obvious unique and interesting story-telling/concept.

[@amanshukla6122]

Both are great shows. I do prefer WandaVision over The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, which is surprising considering I was More hyped for the latter when it was first announced. But both are the most mature stories the MCU has told till now. They aren't perfect(TFATWS is a little More flawed which prevents it from being as great as WandaVision) but I love them And WandaVision especially is very close to my heart.

[@NeonMedusaVI]

This video hit the fucking nail on why I love it so much. I started watching this a little bit after my mom had passed away. And seeing the way her grief affected her and seeing her come to terms with it, I definitely resonated with this TV show more than I ever thought possible.

[@rsswng]

I don't know you, but I am sorry for your loss

[@BenjaminEns87]

wandavision and the hunger games and ready player one have the same meaning you can't escape reality sooner or later you will have to deal with reality

[@juliasundberg7135]

Wanda will never be a villain for me. She's a representation for people who're grieving. I lost a sister when I was 8 months old, I am 21 year old today and I'm aggresive as f*ck like 21 years later... Wanda lost a brother, her parents, vision, and her kids... it's not surprising that she turns out the way she did.

I havent watched this show but a friend recommended it and I look forward to watching. Lost my baby at 8 months pregnant last year. I binge watched that 70s show on loop the first few months. This is relatable.

[@sarahroddey2937]

I love this video and this show, but let's not forget about Ironman 3, the first MCU movie to address the lasting effects of PTSD and superhero identity crisis like the ones soldiers face when they come home. It didn't touch on grief but I still find it to be an important piece of the saga.

[@GageStorer]

I loved Iron Man 3. That conversation about PTSD and how it doesn’t just affect the military absolutely had to be had :)

[@mackenna28539]

I absolutely loved Wandavision. The amount of growth we see Wanda go through was amazing. Which is probably why multiverse of madness is one of my least favorite movies. I don’t mind Wanda going mad because of the darkhold, but I wish we had been able to see the process of the darkhold corrupting her. At the end of wandavision, we leave Wanda in a place where she is healing, and I feel like a lot of that got undone in multiverse of madness

I love the relationship between Wanda and Vision, although part of me feels like in the movies to come, Wanda will have to go through a lot of growth and so will the "new" Vision(aka the white Vision, I'm not sure what else to call it), and if/when they do reunite, I have a feeling it's gonna be brutal, especially cause Wanda has had to face reality without the love of her life

[@SamGiles]

This is such a great video, really well done. I struggle to articulate how much I loved this series, as it reaches emotional depths that's rare on such a platform. Not to mention visually stunning, and wickedly funny. An absolute triumph through and through.

I loved your take on Wanda being the strongest but I would argue that maybe Thor could be as strong or stronger because in each of his movies he has just recovered from one death then see someone else be taken from his life. Wanda is very amazing tho. Love the videos keep it up

[@GageStorer]

Thanks :)

[@misspriss2482]

Yes. Thor escapes into video games and comfort food, which I could definitely relate to after my mother died.

[@redfielduniverse]

But the thing with Thor is I don't think he lost as much. They both lost they people (Sokovia, Asgards), they both lost their parents, Wanda at a younger age, Thor older, the both lost there brother, but Loki almost always comes back, we know Pietro isn't coming back. Tho never knew his sister so I don't think that that hurt him as much. Wanda also lost he boyfriend, having to kill him, see him brought back and killed again, coming back seeing him dissected, and Natasha being gone, Steve being old. I think honestly Wanda lost more than Thor from this but if you got more stuff to ad go ahead. But Wanda also has a more unstable power and mind.

[@PrettiMissJae]

Yeeeeeaaaah......that "healing process" took a bit of a turn at Multiverse of Madness I'd say 😬 And Vision & Wanda's relationship in the show gave off gaslighting & abusive ("you can't control me like you do those people," "can't I?" 😳🤨 Girl, I-)

[@otomon5]

What lesson did this show teach about grief? If you are grieving use your super powers to enslave a whole town and mentally torture them? Oh but she decided it was bad at the end so thats okay.. she learned her lesson, except the last scene is literally her reading the biggest book of dark magic in Marvel canon, so she did not learn anything at all. Whats up with people wanting to make this show something that it is not? If you enjoyed it, thats awesome, but lets not b/s and try to make it more deep than it actually was, it was just another mindless super hero marvel movie with some cool throwbacks to better shows on the first few episodes.

[@GageStorer]

Hey. Thanks for the comment. It’s ok that some people can’t see beneath surface level. Thanks for watching anyway :)

[@Rafael-vg1ou]

It isn't a lesson, they're just showing how this person experienced grief. The ending isn't supposed to be a redemption, it was simply the last stage of grief, acceptance.

[@tlozmeowcatz7991]

The entire point of looking through the Darkhold was because she was trying to get her children back WITHOUT enslaving a town. It's opening a new can of worms that will be explored in the next Doctor Strange. Your whole comment reeks of missing the point, and trying to simplify a complex emotion/situation. I can take any story in existence, simplify it to its most basic form, and make it sound ridiculous, but that doesn't prove any kind of meaningful point.
