![]() The Marvel of it All: WandaVision, for the most part, has done a good job of staying focused on its story and not teasing future MCU movies and TV shows. From there, Vision and what remains of the Hex disintegrates, and Wanda heads off to not only master her newfound Scarlet Witch powers, but also hopefully deal with her grief. I know the internet had a field day with Vision's grief line last week, but this line hit me just as hard because I thought it was such a beautiful encapsulation of Vision's journey so far, existential and optimistic in equal measure. Who knows what I might be next?" says Vision before they depart. But then, Schaeffer tops herself with Wanda and Vision's tender and intimate farewell. "Boys, thank you for choosing me to be your mom." We know this isn't the first time she's had to say goodbye to her family, so that exchange is truly heart-wrenching. We could never truly leave each other if we tried," she tells Billy and Tommy, both of whom are tucked into their beds. Thankfully, Olsen fully commits and makes you feel how much Wanda is straining.)Īs the walls of her beautiful dark twisted television fantasy dissipates, Wanda, Vision, and the twins retire to their home for their goodbyes. I don't know about you, but I would've felt silly doing that. ![]() Obviously, the red energy field that surrounds Wanda was added in post, which means Elizabeth Olsen had to stand there and cry and grunt with nothing happening around her while shooting. (ASIDE: Honestly, MCU actors don't earn enough credit for scenes like this one. Eventually, Sharon asks Wanda to just let them die, but instead, Wanda opens the Hex long enough to hopefully let them escape. ![]() Wanda insists that she's been keeping the people of Westview safe, but it's clear that's not completely the case. A lot of the time, those who are grieving sort of get lost in their pain - because grief is a powerful force - and don't realize how it negatively alters their everyday demeanor and affects those closest to them. That moment really resonated with me because it's true, at least from my experience. "Your grief is poisoning us!" Debra Jo Rupp's Sharon says. As that happens, they begin to converge and overwhelm Wanda, forcing her to confront the ways in which her actions have hurt them all. Once the battle reaches the town square, Agatha, who wants Wanda's powers, distracts the nascent Scarlet Witch by waking the townspeople up. For all the many colorful balls of powers whizzing through the sky, the action still felt relatively grounded and proportionate for what the show has been up to this point. The thing I did enjoy about the action sequences, though, is how they struck a nice balance between Marvel Cinematic Universe-level quality but still feeling like a TV show, if that makes sense. It's a lot, and it looks like Disney+ didn't skimp on the special effects. ![]() reanimated, and Vision is the version of the character Wanda created in the Hex and we've spent time with this season.)

Agatha Harkness and all her power is of course the biggest, but her situation is about to be complicated by the impending arrival of SWORD and White Vision. Surviving against those odds may only be possible if Wanda is aided by allies like Westview’s Vision and Monica."The Series Finale" picks up where we left off last week with a stand-off between Wanda and Agatha, who is still holding the twins by magical leash. A scene with Monica and Pietro can also reveal what he really is and if there’s any truth to the theories about him being Fox’s Quicksilver from the multiverse, or if he’s really just a magical manifestation.Ī lot could ride on Monica winning against Quicksilver, largely due to the fact that Wanda has an assortment of problems facing her in WandaVision’s season finale. It could be that this battle will demonstrate a taste of what the MCU’s Monica Rambeau will be capable of as a superhero in Captain Marvel 2. If she doesn’t, this is a fight that could easily go Quicksilver’s way. Monica, who has powers of her own, may have the means to fight against him (if she can quickly adapt to her new abilities). He may not be the real Quicksilver, but he does possess super speed. Early in WandaVision episode 9, the series could showcase an exciting superhero battle between Monica and Pietro. ![]()
