Summary
Reviewers say 'WandaVision' is lauded for its innovative fusion of classic sitcom elements and MCU lore, featuring strong performances by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. The show's deep dive into grief and trauma, alongside its genre-bending narrative, garners acclaim. However, some criticize its slow pacing, inconsistent tone, and sitcom format, which feels gimmicky. The ambitious storytelling occasionally outpaces execution, resulting in a disjointed experience and underutilized supporting cast. Despite mixed opinions, 'WandaVision' is widely seen as a daring and experimental MCU entry.
Featured reviews
I found WandaVision to be a pretty entertaining show that's a fantastic addition to Phase 4! It's so over the top bananas but it works in a weirdly entertaining way! Once you start watching it you'll want to binge it as quickly as possible. I don't understand some of these negative reviews though...did you not watch the trailers? Some of you are acting surprised at what you were watching. I don't get it...what were you expecting that you didn't get to see? It's a wildly original show that's such a fun ride that you can't turn away and that absolutely pays off in the end. Elizabeth Olsen is so amazing here that she absolutely deserved an Emmy nomination! She was also just great and the best thing going in the new Dr. Strange movie!
When this show first released, I thought it would be a romance series only between Wanda and Vision, and I said to myself "hell nah, I'm not gonna watch this". But being a bigtime comic nerd, I've always had that urge where I wanna watch every super hero movie/TV show, so I've had this show in my mind everytime I watch a Marvel movie or TV show.
Today, I finally said F it, and pressed play on the first episode, and boy o boy am I glad I did.
It starts of very weird and slow, but then it turns into this long and amazing Marvel "movie". I binged the whole series in 1 day. Loved every episode.
Highly recommended, even if Wanda and/or Vision isn't your top 10 super hero from the other Marvel movies.

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.

It might have been an error on Disney's part to release only the first 2 episodes at once instead of 4 episodes. While I am on of the few people who absolutely loved the intrigue and mystery of the first three episodes, this exceptional show has been getting a lot of hate due to a lack of plot.
... And then the 4th episode came out. Not only was it an exceptional episode, but it justified the use of the first three and even gave some answers to the many questions of Wanda vision.
Overall a brilliant show that shouldn't be judged on the first three episodes (especially if your only complaint is a lack of plot)

WandaVision started off really strong in the beginning. I loved the mystery aspects of the show and the vibe that something is really off was intriguing and interesting to me. Got me hooked! Unfortunately it ended up being lackluster after episode 7 imo and all the teasing and references throughout, were just that. The show still ended up being good nonetheless just not as clever as i thought it was.
