Why WandaVision Is Still The Best Disney Plus Show

At this point every single six part disney plus show has struggled to perfect that structure. Even Loki didn’t quite stick the landing with the finale, and its third episode really wasn’t of much consequence compared to the other stellar episodes. That is the best case scenario we’re dealing with here. From Loki to Hawkeye to Ms Marvel to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, every other six parter just gets worse in terms of its structure and pacing. This isn’t exclusive to Marvel; the Star Wars shows have suffered too.
Wandavision is really the only Disney plus show that couldn’t be a movie, and that’s why it works the best. You need that week to week format if you’re going to jump through different eras of tv. You need to draw things out if you’re going to structure the mystery around this TV format. And it feels right at home in your living room when you find out that Wanda's connection to television is unexpectedly personal. Sure, you could do this television hoping as a two hour movie, but you want 30 minutes to get a full I Love Lucy episode. The first two episodes work only because they commit to the bit.

[@theomnitorium7476]

I still remember when they announced all the D+ shows and proudly said that the unrestricted streaming format would give them the creative freedom to make any show as long as it needs to be, from episode numbers to episode length. So WandaVision was 9 x ~21 minutes to fit the sitcom format. Then FatWS was 6 x ~45 minutes. Then Loki was 6 x ~45 minutes. Then Hawkeye was 6 x ~45 minutes. Then Moon Knight was 6 x ~45 minutes. Now Ms. Marvel is... well, you know. I guess creative freedom lasted only as long as it took the algorithm to calculate the ideal combination for maximum views.

[@rhetiq9989]

I remember a bunch of people were hating on the ambiguous sitcom sections during the first few eps who then were delighted to see everything revealed in the 4th ep as we got into the real world sections. I was one of those who actually got more kick out of the sitcom sections because they were genuinely different and intriguing. Everytime I got pulled out of it into the real world sections it felt like I was getting dragged out out of a really fun gameplay session to do my house chores. In the end, it wasn't the real world sections or the grand smackdown of a finale that made the show so memorable but their sheer dedication towards executing their ballsy basic premise. It was what set the show apart from the rest of the MCU in a good way

[@TimelessTransience]

I think the biggest thing WandaVision had going for it terms of pure structure which you hardly see come up is that fact of it not being an action/superhero story for the majority of its runtime. Don’t get me wrong I *like* Superhero action, it’s a big appeal of the genre to me, and there’s been action in Mandalorian, Hawkeye, Falcon & The Winter Soldier, What If, etc that I’ve liked, but man does WandaVision benefit from just getting to *tell story* for 8 and a half episodes. I’ve been *loving* Ms. Marvel, but it’s held back from greatness by weak villains and mediocre action editing, which makes it feel like the show is just less interesting in the superhero action-as-genre side of itself.

[@disconsolate3235]

Yess exactly! I’ve been feeling like ms marvel would actually be just so much better as a purely coming of age series. I like that they tied her powers to her culture and figuring out her identity as a person but the superhero stuff feels bland compared the the character work execution-wise

[@themadtitan7603]

[@theomnitorium7476]

I fully on your side. I so burned out on 4 movies and 6+ TV shows each year. It's too much. It ruins rewatchability of the MCU. I liked rewatching old movies, but all the so far released shows are already as long as all the previous movies. Quality goes down. Hype goes down. And then Disney expects me to get excited about Cassian freaking Andor. I don't get it.

[@delclo4043]

I personally love all the Disney plus shows, especially moon Knight and mandalorian, but wandavision did handle the show thing a lot better.

[@OperationBlueprint]

I wasn't expecting to like it, but Hawkeye is the only MCU show I know I will eventually watch again. It may sound daft but it felt really comforting, like a classic Christmas movie. It was refreshing to get something in the MCU feel much smaller scale. I suppose it reminded me of the simpler Cpt America films where the universe wasn't so big. While the new multiverse plans are exciting, I'm already lost.

[@EmersonFlemingEmRock13]

THANK YOU. I’ve been saying this for a while now. I really do like most of these Marvel/Star Wars shows, but other than WandaVision it is so obvious that these were probably initially movie scripts that they just drew out into TV shows because Mando’s weekly syndication probably helped retain subscribers. Personally I would prefer they just release them as Disney+ original movies or something, the rate of release for these shows is so rapid fire anyway so I don’t think they’ll have a dip in subscribers if they switch to movies (or at least go into them planning a show).

I disagree. The whole mystery element just failed for me, and therefore the whole show failed for me. Not to mention the mysteries that were answered didn’t even have satisfying answers.

[@rhetiq9989]

I believe that last part fell apart due to people's expectations. Now in your case it might be for a completely different reason but far as I'm concerned for many others it was due to overblown speculations that took the internet by storm for weeks, leading to stuff like Mephisto and whatnot. When all that didn't come into play and the answers turned out to be much more simple than they had hoped, shit went down. It's not necessarily a bad thing since the show did set itself up to be a mystery so that led to people coming up with all sorts of crazy shit in their heads, which is good because that means they gave a shit about the show

[@GabesEdtiz]

@@rhetiq9989 on one hand, I agree that I did have some expectations, some of which were maybe a bit too high in retrospect. But on the other hand, I felt as if the low expectations I had for certain areas fell apart just as much. All I wanted was for the show reveal Wanda as the true antagonist, not throw some random Witch from the Salem Witch Trials in order to make her look better. And listen, I love Kathryn Hahn and she did great with what she was given, but she did absolutely not need to be in the show; Wanda could have been a great antagonist in her own show. But no, they opted to portray her as a hero, despite the fact that she enslaved an entire town against their will. The entire S.W.O.R.D. subplot also didn’t need to be there; we were revealed the true purpose behind their appearances in the 4th episode, and we never got any satisfying payoffs to the mysteries they were building. The worst part is that they tried to cram in more mysteries at the last minute, none of which got satisfying or even worthwhile answers. I feel like that’s the problem with the MCU nowadays: the stories never do anything too bold. Say what you want about fans and their expectations, but I feel like a part of their disappointment is valid; Kevin Feige has a library of stories, concepts, and ideas to pull just from the main comics alone, yet it always feels like the MCU goes for the most basic stories. WandaVision had so much potential, and it could’ve become one of the greatest Marvel shows behind Daredevil. For me personally, however, it started out intriguing but failed to fully capitalize on it’s creative promises. I’ll still watch the MCU; I have since I was very little. But at this point, I’m just expecting your average hero’s journey and superhero movie/show plot. Now, back to *The Boys* …

[@chrisslater7914]

Wandavision set the bar for the Disney + shows and nothing since has quite managed to replicate the quality. I think this and The Mandalorian prove that if Disney are going to go down the TV route 6-8 self contained episodes with an overall arc that is carefully threaded in can have a lot more impact than the standard 6 hour film that is being churned out time after time.

[@CloudMountainJuror]

I’ve only seen a couple of the shows you mentioned, but based on what I have seen (and even with its disappointing finale), I agree. WandaVision had me hooked and riveted literally up until the last episode, by far the most consistent run an MCU Disney Plus show has had of the three I’ve seen (the other two being Falcon and Loki - actually, only 4 episodes of Loki. How you feel about Moon Knight is how I felt about Loki after episodes 3 and 4). WV had personality, purpose, focus, and its main struggle was explored fully and very well.

[@Phan7om1717]

That’s a weird way to spell The Mandalorian…

[@ejbell]

Falcon & Winter soldier was actually my favourite and the only one i rewatched. I totally get the flaws but I really enjoy the two lead characters. (I do also tend to defend it more because I feel like a lot of arguments made against it, especially online, are made in bad faith. You can tell from the tone of comments.) I think to better embrace the TV format, it shouldve been 8 eps and make the two more active rather than reactive to the show's events. Maybe incorporate flashbacks? Sam's experience as a pararesuce not just a counsellor. Clean up the messy villain plot. Still...I give it grace because of the covid rewrites, etc. But overall I do think people unfairly dismiss it.

[@HishamA.N_Comicbroe]

Honestly I agree a lot with this video. I prefer TFATWS & Loki a bit more over WV but this show definitely was the one which respected the TV medium better. I also think Ms. Marvel has a lot of potential too.

[@disconsolate3235]

I think it’s because they’re just trying to tell a simple story with fun characters. And that’s how it was with phase 1 of the mcu where everything was more grounded in characters and their relationships instead of trying to tie into some huge multiversal plot line

[@JustJohn43]

Still consider Wandavision a masterpiece. You didn't really go into much depth as to WHY in a video with why in the title though. Let me just say, one of the things that makes it hold up to me, is how every episode focuses on one of the steps to recovery, when it comes to mental health. It's a huge shame MoM spoiled that for me and she just kept on being villainous. It was the show to lauch Disney + if I recall. It was in development since Endgame. It clearly had lots of artistic and thoughful care put into it. I have rewatched it 3 times and still think it's a great watch when doing an infinity war marathon

[@mk6rfc1]

tfatws was actually meant to be the first show pre covid

[@themadtitan7603]

In terms of consistency, Moon Knight is the best overall out of these Disney+ shows imo, but only a margin above WandaVision. The reason being that WandaVision began to falter in quality for me even before the finale, at ep. 7. The sitcom aspect wasn't as focused on and the "conventional" MCU plot with SWORD, which I didn't find as interesting, began to take center focus.

[@Subtekjr]

A nitpick I keep having with reviews of these 6 parter shows is the whole "6 hours" schtick. Unless the episode content is exactly an hour, they're not 6 hours. Using Obi-Wan as an example, the actual pre-credits time was about 40 minutes per episode (some shorter, some longer). That's a 4 hour show, not 6. It may not seem like a huge difference, but you're inflating the length by 50%. That is a large chunk of show that we're saying is there, but is not. I know the old "hour long show" idea of a 42-45 minute episode with room for 15-18 minutes of ads still exists, but these shows are delivered sans ad breaks, and the Disney shows specifically don't have ad break segments, so you're getting more content per minute than a traditional show that needs to catch the audience up on what happened before the "break" again. But it's still not really an hour, and with the shows being structured so there are no ads on the service you need to watch them on, it's really not an hour. 4 hours really sells the idea that these are movies that have been split into 6 parts and lengthened, rather than being a 3 hour movie they doubled in length somehow.

[@redhood9603]

I feel like I am with HiTop Films on this topic, the story of Sam, Bucky and Walker seemed to be the only one which tried to be truly honest and vulnerable to me even tho the studio tried it's best to bring it down, like rewriting the Flag Smashers story line to be a total mess... As it stands now, I agree with Matt here that the main threat of the show should've been Walker only

[@ejbell]

Totally agree. F&WS was definitely my favourite despite it's eventual flaws in execution. It broached harder themes than any other show, especially for Disney. I think the Flagsmashers should've been background, what triggers the plot (but not killers), and the villain should've more overtly been Walker. Imo the show gave the audience the benefit of the doubt too much. The moral ambiguity of Walker and Flagsmashers gave the excuse to too many people online to make arguments in bad faith.

[@paulg9019]

[@griffindeitrick2973]

Idk, I get what you’re saying about Wandavision, but I think the show fails because of how the entire show was built around the ending reveals. Wanda’s arc was decent, but the last episode just devolved into standard laser battle schlock, and then she just kinda got let off the hook without learning much (or nothing at all if we count the damage Multiverse of Madness did). This makes the internal conflict become hollow by the end of the show, and the external conflict in Agatha is just lame by the end since she had no character building prior to the show’s final act (see laser battle comment above). Loki did a better job at doing what Wandavision tried to do, in my opinion. That show, while built around finding Kang initially, is actually just a straight up character study, and every episode feels like a natural progression towards the climax; more of a really long movie instead of an episodic show. I especially love how, in the end, it’s revealed there really was no true villain behind the curtain, and it’s truly one of Marvel’s most original ideas; there was never any enemy to fight in the show’s “glorious purpose,” the only villain the show had was the fear and egos of the characters, which they all are too late to grow out of by the end. That gets me so hyped for season 2, because now they have to fix all of their mistakes, and a season 2 feels earned. Also, Loki gets extra bonus points for its soundtrack and visual storytelling. The show’s music is by far the best Marvel has ever put out, and is a near masterpiece. I also just love how much of Loki and Sylvie’s arcs go unspoken, and instead are left for the audience to interpret based on their actions.

I think Moon Knight and The Bad Batch are the best Disney plus shows, but I respect your opinion.

[@EnzoDraws]

Hawkeye WAS pretty good tho, underrated imo

[@GwydionAE]

The problem with the third episode of Loki wasn't that it didn't matter. If anything, the series as a whole wouldn't work if Loki and Sylvie weren't given any time to get to know one another. But the fact that episode two left off with what seemed like an exciting climactic moment (Sylvie bombing the timeline and the TVA being thrown into chaos) only for it to barely be of any relevance (yeah, Sylvie was trying to sneak in, but that went nowhere within 5 minutes, and the next time we see the TVA, it's like it never even happened) made episode three feel especially underwhelming. Not to mention that I personally find Loki's characterization in that episode just kind of bizarre (the show overall has those moments, but this episode as a whole sticks out to me). The idea of Loki and Sylvie being forced to work together and get to know one another is a good one and works well with the overall themes of the show; it just wasn't pulled off very well. Which is a shame as I do overall like the show.

The competition sure is fierce.

[@-thesalemcrow-5941]

It's good but as a bigger Star Wars fan, The Mandalorian and Kenboi are a thousand times better

[@ellchipper6389]

I don’t think there needs to be a drastic change to how much shows they put out a year case they need content to keep people hooked (maybe 3-4 shows a year would work) but the 6ep structure dosent work at all. I don’t think they should go to far out of what their doing like how daredevil had 13ep a season but I think there needs to me more ep to flesh out the stories a bit more which also gives it the chance for the story to change accordingly to the medium that it’s in being TV

[@gavinmorin]

While WandaVision isn't my favorite of the Disney Plus shows (that would be Falcon & Winter Soldier) I will agree that it is the one that feels the most like an actual TV show instead of a stretched out movie.

[@ejbell]

Glad to see some Falcon & Winter Soldier appreciation. I think people unfairly criticise it too much. It's definitely been my favourite out of the whole lot.

[@gavinmorin]

@@ejbell I’ve been a lot of hate towards the show lately which I don’t understand. It didn’t feel like they wasted a single episode to me. Other than Guardians 3, Cap 4 with Sam Wilson is the MCU movie I’m most excited for.

[@relish9881]

Honestly i didn’t even know Andor was a character from Rogue One

[@ChaosRaych]

"Jude Law, the blandest man in Hollywood" had me dying & I would've missed it without captions 😂 Brilliant!

[@FullFatVideos]

Hahah I think I cut it from the video because I felt it was too mean 😂

[@BruceWayneAveTV]

Did you ever make an Andor video after this??? 👀

[@johnvincenteugenio5019]

just a rant: What if Edgar Wright direct a Quicksilver movie?

[@jakethorley2607]

I agree with everything you said, other than Loki. I thought that Loki did a great job with the character over the 6 episodes and I thought the final episode was a much better version of 'the architect' scene from the matrix

[@ninjanibba4259]

You’re joking, Loki was butchered as a character

[@mickeymouse7726]

I love Loki and Wandavision

[@thefreerocketman5777]

Episode 3 of Moon Knight was pure agony but they managed to bring me back with 5 and 6. You should give it a try, I'd love to know what you might end up thinking. I used to think Loki surpassed wv but nah... wv was so much more (even though I didn't quite love the ending). The Mandalorian is still my favorite thing out of the Disney+ era, but it was also the first one we got, and after Beta Fett and Kenobi I am afraid for Mando's next season and I'm also afraid Ms Marvel doesn't quite stick the landing in the end (I loved how it started but the cracks are starting to show)

[@JimmyDrake100]

You’re 100% right even Disney will admit it but money is the motivation and critics and fans have not punished them for this so we will continue to get this until critics and fans step up

[@ethankillion786]

The first three-ish episodes were very fun, and then it pretty quickly turned into a long Marvel movie. The costumer and set designers did a great job of capturing these eras without feeling obvious or kitschy.

[@siddhant...]

I remember it was painful waiting a week for the next wanda vision episode to drop. Me and my sister would watch it together and talk about it. Can’t say the same for any other mcu disney show that released after. It wasn’t any masterpiece but it was gripping and had my attention till the end.

[@midnight7786]

I do respect and agree with this but I think there's the overlook of FATWS. That IMO was the best MCU show besides WandaVision

[@FullFatVideos]

I loved a lot of it but again, I think it would have been better as a movie. Anyway when are we getting more Cap?!

[@dimitrescu182]

Disney really learned the wrong lesson from Solo's failure and Mandalorian's success. As for WandaVision, my only complaint is that it didn't really need a villain.

[@P.I.P.E.L.I.N.E_Podcast]

3:48 I love it that he put the copycat clip from dc to marvel here😅

[@bloodyneptune]

"I doubt we'd have time to screw around with Leia getting captured and freed again" Yeaaa that does, in fact, happen.

[@MCLegoboy]

I'm not so mad that these are just stretched out movies, but I am more disappointed that they aren't smaller scaled conflicts. Moon Knight should have never been a show about stopping a guy that wanted to kill every bad person on the planet with an Egyptian goddess, it should have been a one man crusade to bring justice in New York. Falcon and the Winter Soldier does have this whole thing with the Flag Smashers wanting to erase half of life to put things back the way it was after Thanos even though our main focus is on USAgent. Ms. Marvel has just revealed that Kamala is some bridge between dimensions and the one dimension is going to destroy the Earth. I'll give Loki and What If...? a pass for having the multiverse coming to an end because that's kind of their whole conceit, different worlds and timelines and whatnot, but then also in the movies, Shang-Chi has to save the world from the Dweller in Darkness from sucking away everyone's souls, the Eternals have to stop the world from ending by a Celestial birth, and while Spider-Man's personal conflict is small, it does become a big multiversal thing at the very end of No Way Home. I don't read comics, but surely, not every story is about saving the world, the universe, or the multiverse, I'm pretty sure these guys also stop petty theft, mobsters, someone planting bombs and making threats in order to make them mayor or president or whatever, etc. While Hawkeye was a bit bloated and disheveled, I really enjoyed how it was about a guy just trying to get back to his family for Christmas, but he has this kid that got him in trouble with the mob. It's a fun story to have in this universe that may not be super consequential to the future, but is worldbuilding with the characters they introduced so that they can easily appear in future stories later that are of greater consequence. We need stories that are about people struggling to just live a normal life day to day because they have powers or have chosen to do good via superhero theatrics. I don't need to see the world in peril every three months. As for WandaVision, it's great. Nice small scale, it's all about Wanda and her trauma. Then we have Multiverse of Madness, and it feels more like it's a three episode capper to that show than the big bombastic mutliversal movie it probably should have been. Ironically, I wouldn't have minded something larger stakes because Doctor Strange saved the world in his first movie, and seems to protect it on a regular basis, now let's have a multiversal threat for him in the sequel. Wanda's not even a threat to the multiverse, she's just a threat to another version of herself, and I guess also herself, too. I enjoy that movie, but it does seem a little underwhelming for what the name on the poster suggests. It makes sense that Doctor Strange would have to save the world, but Moon Knight is not that kind of guy because he is traditionally a street level character. Captain America may have saved the universe, but he also needed a lot of help to do so, he's normally just trying to simply stop a terrorist organization or butting heads with the governement. How about we just save the the city or a country instead of the whole world, it's still recovering from all that happened in Infinity War and Endgame, I don't need to see it threatened by global genocide or the core blowing up right now. I think that they're doing a good job at giving everyone character, but I need smaller stakes so that when the world is actually in danger in the next big team-up crossover movie, I feel like it is because it hasn't been prevented by everyone in the movie already. There are certain characters and teams that can handle the bigger threats and it make sense like Doctor Strange, Thor, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, and there are characters that can grow to have those larger threats or be part of a team and contribute to stopping those threats like Captain America, Black Panther, and Ms. Marvel, but Phase 4's contributions of movies and shows is the first time where I'm really noticing any sort of "Marvel Formula" because we keep having End-of-the-World plots for everyone or the movie/show still has some gigantic, bombastic, explosion filled finale when it could just be a much simpler story to begin with for half of them. It may be overdone, but I wouldn't mind seeing the rec center get saved for an episode of a show, you know?

[@soggusboggus4386]

with all the shows they make its starting to feel like a chore to keep track of the mcu

[@FullFatVideos]

i agree

[@cesarwitha_t]

Don't all they show last about six hours? Since the first six episodes of Wandavision are a bit shorter? I think that's the only reason it has more episodes, the nature of the show itself.

[@FullFatVideos]

that might be true but each episode is a definitive episode of tv

[@cesarwitha_t]

@@FullFatVideos true, hadn't finished your video when I commented that. It's absolutely true that they don't seem to choose correctly which products to turn into shows or movies. I also love the idea of expanding movie stories with shows, that's something DC has been doing with comics, they had one for The Batman and there's one for The Flash, hopefully they commit to that!

[@mk6rfc1]

theyre not even 6 hours i think if you take away credits, logos, previouslys etc then they usually are around 4.5 hours per show

[@irreplaysable]

I definitely agree with you. Some of the other series have better individual episodes, but as a whole, looking back on all of them, WandaVision was definitely most consistently the best :)

[@gabrielfrench]

The kenobi Kai Patterson cut shows that kenobi would have been better as a movie

[@yadonkno3320]

Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Mandalorian are still better for me. Everything else including Wandavision is equally meddling. And even then they're only a foot or two ahead.

[@GallifreyanAvenger93]

I respect the effort they put in for the aesthetic of the sitcoms, but when it's all said and done, the conclusion of this series is a hot mess.

[@firefly9838]

I thought Loki was better but that's just me.

[@paulg9019]

i loved star was visions new characters small stories that were epic but about a character developing

[@aliegan2109]

Star Wars visions is great

[@tmac731]

Moonknight Loki and Mandalorian are the best Disney plus shows

[@key3687]

I don't know I think Loki is the best from the beginning to the end unlike Wanda vision having to have a villain and a big cgi fight at the end

[@marionbaggins]

It (WandaVision) didn't need a Villian, nor a Big CGI fight at the end!

[@trevorlyon4982]

The first half of this show is better than all of these other disney shows combined

[@hasanthedumb5340]

Even wandavision struggles with the pace at the end with the rushed finale, but it has the right idea
