![]() And if Vision should be dead, I think it’s safe to say that something is rotten in the state of Wandavision. But yeah, he’s dead and he’s not coming back (barring some real ret-conning of the story and I don’t think Marvel is desperate enough for that quite yet). Or, I suppose he was, as the Mind Stone (the stone that brought Vision to life) was a large part of the proceedings. ![]() Sorry about that spoiler for Endgame, but when all the heroes converged to take out Thanos once and for all, Vision was not among them. Especially as Vision is, for all intents and purposes, dead. So, it’s great to get a chance to spend some time with both of these characters, even if it’s just homework for another movie (as someone who has seen nearly all of the Marvel films – sorry not sorry I missed out on Thor 2 – I’m not thrilled at the prospect of having to watch TV shows in order to understand movies in the future of the MCU, not that Disney cares). It’s the price of doing business in the over-stuffed Marvel world – and something Marvel is clearly trying to rectify, considering most of those characters are getting their own Disney+ shows, and Black Widow is getting her posthumous feature film lead debut in 2021. So, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, War Machine, Black Widow, Wanda, and Vision lack the depth of their fellow Avengers. One of the (very few) failings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that the films have failed to fully develop any supporting character who lacks their own film. It is also allowing Elizabeth Olsen (Wanda) and Paul Bettany (Vision) the chance to have some fun and play actual characters. It’s unique, layering comedy onto characters that are famously bereft of it. I do know that we need to watch the series if we want to be fully briefed for the next Doctor Strange film (in which Wanda will co-star) – a marked departure for Marvel TV (past Marvel TV series operated in the same universe as the films, but weren’t considered required viewing to fully grasp elements of the MCU). ![]() I don’t know who the mysterious SWORD operative was at the end of Episode 1 and I can’t say for certain who was reaching out to Wanda over the radio (although I’m pretty sure I know who it is – I’ll cover my theories at the end of the review, so feel free to skip to the bottom if that’s what you’re interested in). I don’t know why Wanda seems to be living in recreations of classic sitcoms ( The Dick Van Dyke Show and Betwitched would be the templates for Episodes 1 and 2, respectively, in case you aren’t up to date on your TV history – and if that’s the case, might I recommend checking them out, as they are truly sensational). Let me level with you: I don’t know the endgame for Wandavision.
