But thankfully,Disney+sWandaVisionis giving us plenty to chew on.
With each new episode, were left wondering, What exactly is going on?
How is Vision back?
And thanks to its time-hopping sitcom format,WandaVisionalso has us asking,What are those commercials?
But alas, apparently even Marvel knows when too much is too much.
Anyway, the first commercial we get inWandaVisionis for a toaster.
Is your husband tired of you burning his toast?
he says as he walks over to his screen partner (his wife?
Now this is where things start to feel a bit off-kilter.
the lasers that shot out of his hands in the Iron Man suit).
So what does this mean?
Before Stark became Iron Man, he was busy profiting off of Stark Industries weapons.
So is this a piece of Wandas memory in the form of a toaster commercial?
Maybe the two mystery hosts are Wandas parents.
Isnttoastera decent derogatory term to call him?
If youre a robot reading this, kindly confirm.
This time, they are in elegant clothing, looking like theyre getting ready to go to some soiree.
The watch ticks (more ticking!)
faster and faster as the narrator closes with, Strucker: Hell make time for you.
According to Captain America, hes Hydras No.
Does this mean Hydra is lurking behind this reality that Wanda may have created?
Improbable but notimpossible:Seeing two people dress up for a night on the town sure is something.
All right, never mind.
The screen splits four ways so we can see four different fiascoes.
After these events play out, the woman steps back onscreen, distressed (but her hair?
), as the male narrator says, Do you need a break?
She responds, You read my mind.
And then, magically, shes in a bubbly bathtub while someone (Commercial Man?!)
in a toga fans her with a palm leaf.
The narrator says, Escape to a world all your own, where your problems float away.
He continues, When you wanna get away, but you dont wanna go anywhere.
in retro lettering runs across the screen below.
This is possibly an ode to Wandas abilities, which were finally starting to see in all their glory.
Did Wanda escape to a world all her own?
It sure seems so.
Maybe she finally found the goddess within herself!
Its smaller and weaker.
It seems like the MCU is onto other baddies.
Yeah, yeah, thats nitpicky, but this is probably no more than a fun little wink.
Similar to the last commercial, the scene starts with (but stays in) the kitchen.
Commercial Man and Womans two kids (Commercial Kids?)
are at the table, where one of them spills a glass of red liquid.
Its the most absorbent paper towel available!
Is this a light jab or something to really mull over later?
That will have to wait, because the narrator ends the ad by intoning, Lagos.
For when you make a mess you didnt mean to, which alludes to … Rumlow and his goons attack the IFID looking for a bioweapon in acrimsonvial.
Its a huge turning point for Wanda that left her grappling with the immense extent of her powers.
Its as the commercial narrator said: Lagos was a mess Wanda didnt mean to make!
Though, unlike the commercials squeaky-clean solution, Lagos is a mess that she had to continue living with.
Usually, everything in Westview seems to be under Wandas control.
Is she really in control of everything in Westview?
Or is the mess getting to be too much for her to absorb, make clean and simple?
Is he going to stop the mess thats brewing in this perfect reality bubble?
Episode 6: All-New Halloween Spooktacular!
It also is notably the first episode without our Commercial Man and Woman.
It starts off with a kid on a lone desert island.
But the kid cant open it.
The snack for survivors.
No mention of Stark, Hydra, or even a location like Lagos or Sokovia.
Instead, this commercial underlines the despair of Wandas predicament.
Its a creepy ad, but death is certainly a through-line ofWandaVision.
(Hint: its most likely the latter.)
Because despite being one of the most powerful beings, Wandas magic cant save the ones she loves.
We cant reverse death, she tells them.
No matter how sad it makes us.
Improbable but notimpossible:A couple of things here.
The Yo-Magic cup isnt opened in time to save Vision (a.k.a.
the kid in the ad).
But theres also the season-long mystery as to what is actually happening in Westview.
Could the Claymation kid in the commercial be Wanda?
In All-New Halloween Spooktacular!
offered Wanda an extra power, a metaphorical Yo-Magic, to help her?
And as were starting to see Westviews dreamy reality crumble, it might not work for Wanda after all.
This time outside, feeling glum as the narrator asks, Feeling depressed?
Like the world goes on without you?
Do you just want to be left alone?
Weve all been there.
But what is Nexus?
This is where things get really interesting.
A multiverse, if you will.
In fact, Scarlet Witch is considered to be aNexus being.
Would be nice to see a therapist or psychiatrist around.
