This one left me with a wide range of mixed emotions. I could feel the tension just building and building, like Wanda's perfect world was starting to unravel at it's seams. It was heartbreaking to see Vision begin to realize something truly isn't right. Their argument was so powerful. It was like watching two people I care about struggle to understand each other. And then that ending completely threw me. This episode is the moment I started to realize just how deep this storyline is willing to go.

Oh my goodness this place moves quickly, you’re hard to keep up with! One question first Kali: you do this adorable thing where you turn your head to the left once in awhile, is that a mirror or a 2nd screen?!? Regarding this episode, yes we’re starting to see how deeply embedded Wanda is and I can’t blame her for wanting to hold on to this reality. Paul Bettany was great in that scene you referenced in your synopsis. What was your opinion of the Director wanting to “take the shot”? And the twins thinking their mom can cure the dead? Many things to unravel yet.

It's a second monitor! It shows my OBS (recording software) and I look over every once in a while to make sure the recording is running smoothly (still red for recording), look at the cat lol, and sometimes look at myself to make sure that everything looks normal (no boogers or makeup running lol)

The version of Pietro aka Quicksilver you saw at the end was from the X-men movies that were from the Fox studios (which are now owned by Disney/Marvel). It was a surprise seeing him there for those of us who watched those movies. It made us all talk about them bringing in the x-men universe into the Marvel cinematic universe.

What TheJoeKerr said, and something I mentioned to you that might confuse you. I knew it was coming in the episode.

You + mysteries are always such a good time haha. Been thoroughly enjoying seeing you slowly peel back all the layers of everything as it happens. Very excited for the next couple episodes! Wanda's situation is so sad, because metaphorically it's similar to what a lot of us can go through. When we're in such a deep emotional state that our mind completely changes the way the world appears around us. And the way that we respond to it. Also, I don't think we had ever seen Vision show any real emotion up to this point, so the power that his voice carries during the argument with Wanda gives me chills every time

Lawrence Gibson

Yep, but more to the point. In doing so, Marvel now has the X-Men, Blade, Daredevil, Electra and The Fantastic Four.

Fun fact! Evan Peters played Quicksilver for Fox X-Men. And Aaron Taylor-Johnson played Quicksilver in Marvel Avengers Age of Ultron. So here is the fun fact. They were in the same movie together. A little movie called Kick Ass.

Greetings from your self-appointed, unprompted TV-history-lore context provider! The fake opening credits in each episode are definitely strongly inspired by specific shows. This episode's combined the "family portrait being painted" bit from Family Ties: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip1szfz9nZ8 And the "showing everyone's childhood photos" bit comes straight from Growing Pains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRvzm51EaKo Also, the bit where the twins grew up so fast was practically a cliché in the 80s; both Family Ties and Growing Pains did that bit, where the pregnancy and birth is a big part of a season's storyline, and then in the next season premiere the baby is suddenly four years old.

Wanda and Pietro are very rare characters in that they appear in both the X-Men movies and in the MCU. Most characters who are tied to the X-Men didn't ever appear in the MCU, because the rights to make X-Men movies include everything related to the X-Men, including all their side characters, villains, and even the concept of mutants as a reason for people to have superpowers. But since Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have decades of history with both the X-Men and The Avengers, they are the only characters who were legally able to be used in both film franchises. Wanda never did make it into the X-Men movies, but Pietro was very prominent in them.

Lawrence Gibson

I have to say that I prefer the Evan Peters Quicksilver to the Aaron Taylor-Johnson Quicksilver. Taylor-Johnson will always be Kick Ass to me!

.

The pietro actor is the same one as quicksilver from xmen thats why they cast him in this because pietro is was the quicksilver of the mcu in age of ultron

Kali: Did you notice that when she stepped out of Westview she regained her Sokovian accent, but returned to an American accent when she went back in?

Ahhhh, that's actually very cool! Now I see the connection between Marvel and X-men beginnign to grow. I've never seen anything X-men related so the reference flew over my head, of course. But that's very cool thank you for sharing!

kaliwali

Yep! I was totally confused you were right haha. But very cool that I'm starting to see the connection between the MCU and X-men universe now through this show! Love that they did that.

I love your analysis on Wanda and her feelings in this episode so much! It's so true. We do see the world in a completely different light when we're going through heavy things and do things that we wouldn't normally do. I think that in a way, Wanda believes her own lie that she 'isn't the one doing this' and that's what made that scene even more powerful. I believed her because she believed herself. So powerful and deep.. But yes! The part with the argument and Vision. Even Wanda is taken back by his raw emotion. I've been loving this show so much! All of it. The powerful scenes, the eerie sitcom still playing the background but unraveling slowly, Wanda's incredible energy. I'm ready to see how it all ends, but also terrified by it at the same time.

kaliwali

Ahhh that is very cool! I haven't seen Kick Ass yet! It would be cool to see both Pietro's in that one haha

kaliwali

Thank you soooo much for another TV history deep dive haha. It adds so much more flavor to the experience for me since I didn't watch aaaany of these shows growing up. Seeing these YT videos I see it all now! They really did put SO much detail in to the WandaVision set. Wow... In a way, I'm kinda sad that I'm missing all of these references to previous TV shows.. But I'm still enjoying the overall mystery within it. I appreciate you being my unofficial lore guide for that part of it all haha. Keep it coming!

kaliwali

Yes! I actually mentioned that in the next episode when Pietro talks about her accent being gone. I was wondering since the beginning why her accent was gone, but chalked it up to the actress not wanting to do it anymore 🤣 but I totally noticed it!

I've read somewhere that it also makes us somewhat feel what Wanda could have felt at that moment. By presenting Evan Peters, who had made a beloved portrayal of Quicksilver in X-Men, as a Pietro, it made us feel just as confused yet willing to accept him as Pietro here. We, the audience, and Wanda, all missed him and wanted so bad for him to be Pietro, for this all to be true, even if we all knew it was impossible.
