WandaVision

A refreshing and creative television series. This series with its first two episodes almost sluggishly slow only to later pick up speed breaking new "immersive" ground in the superhero genre. Somewhat difficult to understand at first but quite unexpected, funny, and enjoyable, the comedic nature of this series eventually makes way for dramatic superhero action with heart-wrenching end. The various plot themes, from past television comedy series, to mysterious military thrillers, paranormal powers that border on magic make for a difficult script writing effort. The script though almost nearly becomes a seamless continuous television experience. The use of flashbacks and editing at times become worrisome in their approach but actually somehow redeem themselves quite well with their intentions reflective of great scriptwriting. All the loose ends almost magically come together with so many storylines explained and offering nice understanding of how individual characters fit with each other and themselves. Overall, this series becomes edgy and eventually introduces emotionally charged philosophical and humanistic quandaries. Definitely worth watching.

I was really excited by this title and I still am, ALTHOUGH I just watched two episodes of the show and I'm a bit at a loss. I'm not scratching my head as to what happened, I like being puzzled, but I am not yet sure if the first two episodes really add up to anything and I am afraid of how that is going to translate to the series as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I adore the concept, but I feel that I watched a standalone story with only a fraction of what might be the actual story. I got really excited at first only to feel a bit bored later. It needed more excitement, thrills and/or mystery. Or such a slow and (pardon me for saying this) monotonous beginning should have been releashed as a whole, in order to offer the whole colourful and multilayered experience we have all been waiting for (and I bet we will get by the end). For the reasons I explained, I believe it didn't leave a nice taste to a good amount of people. This is definitely not the next "Mandalorian" for Disney+, but I am glad they are taking risks and pushing the boundaries that we came to expect for a superhero medium. I hope the show finds its footing soon so it won't just feel like a special. High hopes, still. *EDIT* Just watched the third episode. And I, still, stand by my words. We're getting there, but slowly. I insist that it would be a more pleasant experience as a binge, because I still feel I watched nothing essential. *EDIT* EPISODE 4 WAS GREAT!

Avengers, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), are somehow starring in variations of old TV sitcoms.

This delivers all the missing emotional content in this Avengers cinematic coupling which never achieved actual feelings while on the big screen. In the movies, Wanda and Vision always felt slapped together. They don't have much screen time and even less emotions. After all, one is a brooding terrorist turned good and the other is a robot humanized. They are powerful magical beings rather than a human relationship until now. This time, Marvel has decided to expand what was probably an interesting movie into a nine episode TV show. In expanding it, it allowed various scenes to give these two character real human emotions. It places Wanda's grief front and center as well as highlighting their relationship. More than all the movies, this show puts real meat on the bones of these characters. It finally makes them flesh and blood.

Warning: At least watch it to episode four. The surreal first three episodes can be confusing and leave one wondering about unfamiliar sitcom tropes.

Show is developing nicely and although the build up is slow, by episode 5 the story progresses more and gets interesting. World building seems good, characters are solid and there's an eerie vibe in every episode which makes it intriguing.

Also, this show is somewhat different; many double meanings and implications. Feel free to interpret. Wandavision is already a pun.

On another note, I am happy to see many actors from various MCU films appearing. Also, the core cast of this show is pretty good (see Kathryn Hahn) and OlsenBettany are given a nice chance to show some more acting skills and deliver comedy on top of the drama and action that we are used to.

So, its an 8/10 for now, looks like a novel show. Give it a go.

WandaVision is the first of the Disney shows that take place in the MCU. I need to start off with my praise for Elizabeth Olsen and the job she does here. She's not only beautiful but she's such an underrated actress. She really is one of the better actresses working right now. Wanda is one of the most powerful superheroes in the entire MCU and it really shows here. It's a weird and very fun show that will keep you entertained throughout the series. The attention to detail really captured the era and is a fantastic tribute to to the sitcoms of that era. If you're a fan of the MCU then this is a must watch!
