WandaVision
Speaking of the series that brought Agatha into our lives: WandaVision wasn’t originally intended to be the first of Disney+’s Marvel shows, but an unforeseen twist of events here in the real world led to Wanda Maximoff becoming everyone’s introductory guide to the MCU’s strange, new fourth phase. Uneven as WandaVision’s plot became as the series progressed, from the very first episode, it stood out as being one of Marvel’s bolder, more risky bets on a high-concept story, and one taking the time to properly turn two of the studio’s slightly less-popular characters into icons for the fandom to obsess over. Wearying as the Marvel hype cycle can be when it’s in full effect, WandaVision was a reminder of how genuinely exciting the studio’s projects can be when it manages to strike that perfect balance between mystery, intrigue, and quality storytelling.
