WandaVision‘s Finale Was What You Made of It

There were as many ways that Marvel’s WandaVision series finale could have ended as there are different ways to process grief.

It Was Paul Bettany All Along

For weeks, WandaVision star Paul Bettany has been teasing a huge cameo as the Disney+ Marvel show came to a close: an actor he’d never worked with before, had always admired, and found great chemistry with.

WandaVision Became a Nightmarish Web of Cathartic Reruns

WandaVision’s first season transformed Marvel’s Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). She’s been a newlywed, a mother, and something far more fascinating and complex than all of her other new identities combined.

WandaVision‘s Sitcom Theme Song Is Just the Bee’s Knees

Though it’s likely that many of Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ streaming series are going to end up feeling like multi-hour movie epics, WandaVision’s unique in that the show very knowingly leans into the fact that its episodic mode of storytelling’s modeled after American sitcoms.
