    Wandavision was a 10/10 series for me, until they reintroduced all the usual boring superhero marvel slop back.

    It had interesting characters, humor, mystery, weird unsettling feeling when simulation was a bit off. But they had to ruin it and replace with lots of bad CGI effects.

      You can’t avoid the sky lasers and the punching. And the 15 mins of explaining Theseus’ Ship to someone who already knew what it was, so it was clearly for the audience and that made it even more painful.

        The ending could have been a visually creative reality bending conflict like the previoius episodes instead of mess of flying around throwing energy bolts and skybeams. The explanation could have been interesting with a matching visual component!

      It wouldn’t be a Marvel production if it didn’t have their signature Third Act CGI Battle™.

      It’s the same story with almost all of their stuff. They let their creators be really weird in the opening episodes and then it eventually boils down to the Marvel Formula halfway through and becomes a boring mess.

    I expanded the thumbnail and could have sworn Kitty Foreman was in this and now I just can’t stop thinking how badass it would have been to have her in a “the good witch” role. Just 100% how she was in the 70s show tho.

        Bruh, exactly that Kitty.

        Completely against the mission, no real desire to help or see it succeed. But that’s what the family’s doing so she shows up and puts in a little effort.

        Would have been the perfect foil to Aubrey Plaza as like the angel and devil on Agatha’s shoulders
