I didn't think about this until watching the interview but how much did Teyonah Parris have to rein in her smile during WandaVision.

[@elizabethshannon5404]

I loved this show and the ending was great, imo. The title is “WandaVision” and that’s what we received. Theorists went way too far instead of just having fun with the show. Yes it would have played differently if not for the pandemic: a Dr. Strange appearance, 10 episodes, a Señor Scratchy scene, etc., but in the end this show was about Wanda and Vision and it was just phenomenal! Kudos all around to everyone, and I mean everyone, involved!

Paul is amazing. Witty, handsome, funny man. Is it embarrassing to say that as a married 55 y.o. woman I have a crash on him? Needles to say, he is a talented actor, who can play anything. My dream is to hear him play a guitar. I wonder if Paul sings as well...its probably so charming and sexy. I wish him to be awfully successful until...forever. He has so much potential. I love him sincerely.

[@cinephilewolf9749]

this show exceeded my expectations in so many ways

[@willgroody5296]

What’s funny is Jac mentioned about Monica having a therapist but when you watch the show again you actually see that Agatha was Wanda’s therapist when she made her relive all the trauma she even says “the only way to go forward is to go back” and she’s proud when she embraces herself as the Scarlet Witch and disempowers her Agatha says “good girl”. And when you look at multiverse Strange knew what went on and only reached out when he needed her help, in fact all the heroes have left Wanda to deal with all her trauma and grief and Agatha “the villain” is actually the only one who legitimately tried to help her.

[@AcePotato_]

Heard the Podcast yesterday but with the visuals even better.

[@kfkm]

i was hoping they'd bring in tenoyah during the talk about grief and trauma because monica also lost her mom and then right after became hyper-motivated to "save" wanda from not becoming the villain kinda as a response from not being able to save her own mom imo. wanda and monica actually have a lot of interesting parallels concerning grief and powers, i just want someone to ask them about that
