Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen)’s dream life has become a nightmare. Her kids, Billy (Julian Hilliard) and Tommy (Jett Klyne), complain that their video game controls have turned into a deck of UNO cards. Wanda’s bottle of almond milk changes to dairy, which I consider an improvement, but I respect Wanda’s dietary choices. The house itself begins a spontaneous remodel, as if the series
WandaVision’s spoofing this week is the
Property Brothers. That damn stork from “Now In Color” has even returned. Everything’s falling apart around her, and she can’t fix it.

After expanding the boundaries of the Hex in “All-New Halloween Spooktacular,” Wanda is now overwhelmed with guilt, and she struggles to even get out of bed. This doesn’t seem like the superpowered terrorist S.W.O.R.D. Director Haywood (Josh Stamberg) is convinced he’s battling. Wanda has sentenced herself to a day of house arrest in schlubby clothes as “punishment for her reckless behavior.

to draw from while conceiving the story for Disney+. Because there’s been relatively little of the Scarlet Witch or Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the biggest questions heading into the streaming series was which chunks of the characters’ comics canon it
might incorporate, and how the show would go about it.

Everything about the way

‘WandaVision’ Has A Huge ‘Captain Marvel’ Story In Episode 4

“WandaVision” episode 4 finally pulled back the curtain on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s weirdest production yet. Disney+ viewers properly met the adult Monica Rambeau and discovered more about Carol Danvers’ “Avengers: Endgame” depression.
Monica (Teyonah Parris) was first introduced as a child in the 1990s-set “Captain Marvel,” released in 2019. Her mom, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch), was Carol Danvers’ (Brie Larson) best friend.
However, Monica disappeared in “the blip” when Thanos destroyed half of all living creatures. She returned five years later exactly where she left off: in her mother’s hospital room. This time, however, her mom isn’t there.
The mystery behind
WandaVisionhas been hiding in plain sight all along, with the third episode all but confirming what viewers have suspected – this warped sitcom world appears to be an elaborate fantasy created by Wanda. But this episode s dramatic ending also suggests that the rest of the series is likely to abandon this central conceit, following Monica s (Teyonah Parris) return to the real world after being thrown out of Wanda s own personal
Truman Show.
Instead of being placed in the centre of a fantasy cracking before our own eyes, there is much to suggest we may spend the best part of what s left on the outside looking in, watching as Wanda struggles to ignore the memories of recent tragedies that still seep through.
