The point is you know its not real but they are doing an homage, we don’t need answers to a 9 episode series after 2 episodes lol. The show gave you enough intrigue with the creepy dinner scene and the stuff in ep 2 with the radio. They are having fun with the homage and giving you some tidbits. How does Jeremy enjoy shows if he wants the answers in the first 2 episodes lmao Imagine they revealed all their secrets in 2 episodes and then bored you for the next 7. Not sure what kind of tv shows Jeremy enjoys. Part of the fun of mystery is to try and piece together all the messaging like the visual clues and things people say. I think you didn’t watch the show properly based on how you have reviewed it,
I understand the pros and cons for the weekly episode release vs all at once. I think I’ll just wait until the end of the show and binge it once the shows at the end
I totally agree. I'm only watching it because it's Marvel but they definitely need to do something the next episode or two. If it was any other show it would just suck
My theory is we are in Wanda’s head. The last she saw Vision, he lost all color after the mind stone was ripped out. She refuses to leave this world because it’s one where her and Vision can be together. The beekeeper could be a reference to AIM.
This kind of reminded me of that one episode on Legends of Tomorrow where they parodied popular tv shows dragged out into a series and considering how much I liked that episode I can’t wait to see more.
yeah but Mandalorian already had our attention before the week over week.I couldnt get passed the first 5 min of the sec ep of wanda vision. I cant watch it. It sucks
I usually agree with Jeremy but this time I'm almost polar opposite. I like them releasing week-to-week because there is a sense of suspense. I didn't think I would like the 50s sitcom style but with the conservative sprinkling of the weird moments, it has a David Lynch Lite feeling to me with cheery suburban veneer hiding a more sinister underbelly. For me, it was a show I didn't think I'd really be that in to, but I'm actually digging despite it first seeming cheesy and fake. It's one of the more rare Marvel movies that's unique and requires attention. Also, those fake ads. *chef's kiss*
Going into this film I was expecting to be laughing my ass off like I did in Thor Ragnarok HOWEVER! This film doesn’t focus on that for me, it focuses on growing up something Jeremy fucking nails👏
I have to admit, I'm part of the minority that agrees with Jeremy, but only because of my strong dislike of sitcoms, so these first few episodes are very difficult for me to appreciate. Maybe it's not for me, who knows, but I really hope that the next sitcom parody episodes lean a bit more into the plot .
I have to respectfully disagree with Jeremy here. I think the mid-century sitcom on its own is charming and entertaining on its own merit. Of course I know the shoe is going to drop sometime and I’m enjoying the breadcrumbs they are putting in each episodes.
I do agree that it would have been nice to see more hints and intrigue- but the interesting thing about what you said, where you said this would work better as a binged show- is that it's entirely possible that we see things kick up a notch in the third episode. We have to go on faith and assume things kick up at some point and that this is not literally a sitcom throughout the entire season. So, in a way, they took the 2 most "disposable" episodes and threw them online together so that we could actually "binge" through them and get to the "meat" faster ;)
This is House of M or whatever, right? At the end she will destroy all mutants; but MCU already has no mutants.... So is this going to CREATE mutants? IDK. I hope it isn't just "Oh no Hydra got her and that's it no real implications to the X-Men".
Probably of the two movies I would watch "Magic Mike" and skip this one - if I have to sit through scenes of people stripping, I want some actual plot and characterization, please :-).
There was so much though hinting that things weren’t normal besides the fact that we know it’s in the MCU, every scene where something unusual happens the entire show starts to shift dramatically.
If show is officially part of MCU, its logical for people to watch movies before that, or at least parts with well Wanda and Vision. If not, show is not for them then. Not every show needs to be separate thing, especially comic book shows/movies. Who is not interested, just move along, watch other shows, simple!
I know in the Disney+ survey is said “looking forward to traveling to different time” for Wanda vision. So I am wondering if that survay dropped some spoilers for the show. Having a 90’s and 2000’s episodes would be fun.
It does give you a shit ton of intrigue, literally everything Agnes says and how every cast is asking Wanda for help. To say the least, it is not hard to realise shit is going crazy. The internet is going nuts at everything we are getting, soooo many new characters are in this as well as returning ones from Captain Marvel etc. Listen to the people in the town, notice how they all want Wanda to have children yet have none themself lol.
As someone who isn't a "MCU" person, I've seen most of the Avengers movies, and others throughout the years but I haven't seen most of them, and I don't know the "universe" I was intrigued and I find the formula of a sitcom character who is learning they are in a sitcom, it's Truman show
Completely agree with the comments by Jeremy. Far too many people are really looking to love this series (which I understand, I wanted to too!) and trotting out the "you're not clever enough to understand what they're trying to do" while clinging onto the 5 mins per episode of actual plot development/drama for dear life like a lifeboat in the Atlantic. I get what they're trying to do. I love my weird drama, but repeating without alteration the scenes/tropes of unfunny and ultimately boring sitcoms for the vast majority of the episodes running time does not make it: 1) Entertaining 2) Clever 3) Enough to justify the running time It feels like it's got 2 hours of story in the entire series, and they're really stretching it out to fit the running time - agreed that the same story could be done in one episode. Decompressed storytelling is good when you've got a lot of detail that you want to put out, with interesting storylines and characters, but a lot of these episodes were spinning wheels with the occasional tiny drip of something to keep interested. Repetition isn't satire. For the same reason I don't go hunting out the Dick Van Dyke shows now for my entertainment, I'm not going to be hunting this out again, once I've watched it the one time to actually find out what is happening. If you want to watch good weird Marvel TV Universe stuff, Legion was much better paced and interesting. If you want to watch a comedy/drama involving the tropes of old US TV sitcoms, the film Pleasantville will suit you completely. Hell, even the "trapped while blipping between tv genres" bit was done better in a single episode of Supernatural. Going to keep with it for the moment, but the ratio of old TV recreation to actual plot/characterisation had better start changing soon.
Did you even watch the episodes? Vision doesn't know what company he works for is or what they do. They dont know where they are or how they got there or anything about their past. The stop it scene . All The "for the children" stuff while there are no children The radio, sewer, helicopter and rewinding. Plus the hydra commercials. These two episodes are filled with ominous creepy things. It's not just two 50s style sitcoms. Also you didn't seem to even understand the plot of the sitcom parts of the episodes. There is a heart on the calendar and neither of them know why and the explanation that it was about visions boss doesn't really hold up because he literally cant forget things. It's another layer of mystery to things. And the conflict in the second episode isn't that hes acting wacky it's that he is doing real magic and Wanda needs to hide it from the people.
Mad, I loved the first two episodes, thought they were genuinely funny and charming with a sinister undertone that was building to whatever the reveal is quite well. I thought for sure critics would love this MCU experiment but a lot of them seem to be lukewarm on it like Jeremy, surprising!
