WandaVision‘s Suburban Sadness Is a Reminder of Our Failures—and What Needs to Change

Watching Disney+ and Marvel’s WandaVision as someone who I would say is, at best, loosely versed in the MCU means I missed a lot of the subtext io9 has delved deep into. But as someone who regularly writes about destructive systems at Gizmodo’s other subsite, Earther, what stood out to me was not just the…

WandaVision Creator Jac Schaeffer Explains Why It Was Never Really Agatha All Along

When Marvel’s WandaVision rhetorically asked “Who’s been messing up everything?” in its seventh episode, the answer was as obvious as it was catchy. But by the series finale of the Disney+ series, the answer had become considerably more complicated, in no small part because of how densely packed and at times overstuffed the episode felt.…

Kevin Feige Addresses the Big Question About Additional Seasons of Disney+ Marvel Shows

Fans want more WandaVision. Fans will, likely, want more of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. And yet, Disney+ shows featuring characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe aren’t like normal seasons of TV. Characters on TV don’t regularly pop up in other places, such as huge blockbuster movies, and that’s at the core of the…

WandaVision‘s Creator Explains Why Wanda Doesn’t Care About the White Vision

Were you wondering why, after the magically created Vision (Paul Bettany) imparted his memories into his doppelganger, the White Vision didn’t run into the arms of the Scarlet Witch? Or why Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) didn’t immediately start hunting for her husband 2.0 in the WandaVision finale? There’s an answer, and it’s a good one—namely, the…

Elizabeth Olsen Ranks WandaVision Ahead of Doctor Strange 2

Marvel’s superhero movies make billions of dollars. Despite how much WandaVision has dominated pop culture these last few months (albeit after more than a year and a half without any Marvel Cinematic Universe content whatsoever), and even though it has likely driven at least some Disney+ subscriptions, the shows don’t and will not. That makes…

Monica Rambeau Was WandaVision‘s Real Hero, and the Show Did Her Dirty

Though WandaVision was always a show about the Avengers’ Sokovian juggernaut confronting the stifling grief that’s been plaguing her since she first showed up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the series was also the world’s introduction to Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau, the now-adult daughter of Maria Rambeau who first appeared in Captain Marvel. The promise…

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. Each of the season’s nine episodes teased this out—new plot twists that threw audiences for loops all meant to obscure, but not erase, the reality that despite all the strength she’s put on display, Wanda…

Your WandaVision Finale Theories May Disappoint You, Says Director

After a brief moment of hype-driven confusion as to how many episodes WandaVision’s debut season would ultimately clock in at, the series is coming to a close this week with a ninth chapter that’s likely to answer just as many questions as it leaves standing about the life of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). While WandaVision’s…

The latest episode of WandaVision provided, with the little help of a magical handbrake, the chance that three-and-a-bit Avengers movies and a side of Captain America: Civil War failed to take: We finally learned what had made Wanda Maximoff who she is. But in Agatha Harkness, we learned something of ourselves in the process. Perhaps…

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. It’s all been in service of its larger overarching story about the Avengers’ least understood hero who will presumably come to be known as the…

One of the many, many things that’s made WandaVision so compelling to watch are the ways it has poked and prodded at the format of television to tell the story of Scarlet Witch and Vision’s unlikely love.
