WandaVision | Episode 6 | Full Reaction (Patreon)

This one hit me in such a weird, bittersweet way. Everything felt so playful and nostalgic on the surface, but underneath there was such an unsettling energy that I've definitely felt in previous episodes but not in this capacity. Watching Wanda try to keep things "normal" while Vision starts to actively push for answers, completely breaking her illusion, was intensely emotional. He is ready for the truth, and she's clinging onto her reality with every ounce of power she has left. By the time Vision stepped out of the 'Hex' and starts falling apart, I felt this overwhelming sense of dread. Vision really is gone. Outside of Wanda's reality he does not exist. 'Nobody can truly bring back the dead'. It's clear that Wanda's world is collapsing around her, but she will do anything to keep the reality from breaking.Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/uZNijbKmRR4I watched this on Disney Plus

FYI...There are post credit scenes in episodes 7 and 8. Episode 9 has two post credit scenes..

Another great reaction! All these scenes like her seeing the bullet-ridden Pietro for a moment, and dead Vision with his stone ripped out, are all a factor in what we see later. Questions we’re going to have to deal with: how far can you morally go to preserve or protect your children; or your own personal happiness? That’s something that will continue to be a part of Wanda’s arc. Loving your journey with this show so much! Your hair and those sunflower earrings; Iron Man mask; Pixel et al are perfect accessories. 🤩 Now I gotta wait 7 more days . . . 🤣

Richard

Oh shoot, a very important thing I forgot to mention; maybe something you’ve already surmised but yes a huge aspect of this show is about grief. (I feel it’s ok to mention the grief part because the Director specifically says it) What it actually means, how we process it, etc. In fact grief counselors and therapists have been asked to watch it and comment. Sorry I’m not trying to be spoilery or anything, that’s just a broad view, nothing given away but if so my apologies.

I've noticed in the Avengers movies, whenever Wanda is in extreme emotional anguish - that combination of pain & grief - there's an outburst of her powers that go beyond her control. You first notice it when Pietro dies and as his Twin, Wanda feels it immediately. It's almost something elemental that struggles to be contained. It's truly terrifying. I believe when some people are emotionally distressed enough they can end up in their own escapist delusion as a coping mechanism, but in the case of Wanda the delusion manifested itself. That's my best take on what we've seen so far. Also Monica is prickly towards mention of Carol Danvers for good reason - she never came back. She wasn't there for her best friend Maria when she got sick or when she died, or when Monica disappeared for 5 years. Monica must feel to an extent her mother was abandoned and betrayed.

Yes, that's very close to comic book accurate costumes for them. So what you said episode 5. Sit-coms, 1st episode, Dick Van Dyke Show, 2nd Bewitched, 3rd The Brady Bunch, 4th Growing Pains and the 5th Malcom in the Middle. All loosely based on those. Much more to discover. Lots more to come and with 3 episodes left, I am curious if you plan to wrap it up next week?

Richard

Sorry guys, I edited my comments before Kali saw them. I hate any hint of spoilers myself so I’m reigning myself in.

Lastboyscout73

Thank you Richard, I appreciate your effort.

Anna Kyruin

Could you not hint at future events? Please?

Such an amazing show. So unique in that it started as a quirky fun classic sitcom and has transformed into a study on grief and depression, yet still in the form of a quirky sitcom. Seeing the change when Vision brought back Norm and Agnes and the single tear running down the face of what is basically an NPC on the outskirts of town is heartbreaking. And completely agreed that thinking about implications of what Wanda is doing to the people of the town is incredibly unsettling.

This is definitely where everything starts to get put into perspective with the real weight of what's going on. And it's funny that a Halloween episode is what sheds light on the darker and scary side of what's happening in Wanda's world. No more silliness of the earlier episodes I also meant to comment it on last episode but forgot - I always love when you find opportunities to point out accuracies or inaccuracies with x-rays in a medical setting haha. It's always the same for me too, when I get to point out something I know from my job or area of expertise Next week's triple-header is gonna be amazing! Can't wait!

God this show hits deep with its underlying sense of trauma mixed in with the sitcom fun. The 80s episode was based roughly on a show called Family Ties, and this 90s one hit right at home with hardcore Malcolm in The Middle vibes. That first bit with the intro and the opening scene with Billy and Tommy just feels like it came right out of the show 😅 Something I love that this show does is it hits you with the pain Wanda is going through almost from the beginning. First it's more a sense of confusion of what's going on, but there's still this fear that's present. And now it is just plainly seeing her pain thinly veiled behind her threats to Sword. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany just have such great on screen chemistry and her trauma matched with his empathy and desire to help is just dynamite. One of my favorite moments is in this very episode. When Vision escapes the Hex and he immediately starts coming apart, the first words he says are "The people need help" Not himself, who's literally coming apart and dying and he has no clue why.... but he told them to help the people. Don't forget that in Age of Ultron, just after he was born, Vision was worthy to wield Mjolnir. He's such a selfless person, and even this version Wanda brought back, it's so true to who Vision is. He's a genuinely good person and I love that little moment with him. Wanda is such an interesting character. She has been through actual hell, and I feel for her, but at the same time... it makes you wonder, at what point does someone's suffering stop justifying their behavior? Especially when it involves this. Other people in pain as a byproduct of this false reality, just so she can feel safe and have the life she wanted. These kinds of characters are some of my favorite because I definitely can't condone what she is doing, but I totally understand how she got here and man.... I just want her to stop losing people 😭 The last three episodes each have an end credit scene so be sure to keep an eye out for them (the finale has two I think) but I can't wait for you to see how this wraps up Kali!

The commercial in this episode was the darkest yet. Wanda is not allowing them to eat. By the way, this was brought up in the first episode. Do you remember when Mrs. Hart said her head was spinning? Because Wanda is not allowing anybody in the town to eat unless it's part of her show. Also, all of their costumes are comic book accurate.

Robin Holmes

You ask repeatedly how powerful Wanda is. There is an entire comic arc where she says three words. "No More Mutants."

Justyn

You've likely already gotten similar comments to this, but for the future, i would highly suggest taking a break from the MCU properties after this Loki, and Falcon&winter soldier. The 2000s and 2010s spiderman movies, the netflix daredevil show and the 2000s-2010s x men movies are all gonna be worth watching going forward. I'm not gonna get into spoiler territory but id suggest watching hawkeye, then finally continuing with the mcu films after watching those.

kaliwali

Very good to know, thank you!

kaliwali

Seeing those glimpses are both terrifying and so sad. Because you just know the reality of it all and it comes crashing down on both the viewer and Wanda 👀 This show is SO good. I can't wait to see how it all ends.. but at the same time, I'm so nervous for it all!

kaliwali

This is such an incredibly powerful observation. YES. That raw, unfiltered power whenever Wanda is in deep emotional pain feels almost like her soul is literally crying out. The moment Pietro dies was so heartbreaking, and the way her powers ripple out from that loss make it all feel so real. Like her grief is rewriting reality whether she wants it to or not. "Elemental" is a really perfect word for it. And I really like what you said about delusion as a coping mechanism because it's so incredibly true. For most people it's internal, but with Wanda, it has become the world around her. Her grief is just that immense and her powers are just that incredible. It's honestly terrifying, tragic, and beautiful all at once. And yes, with Monica I do agree after thinking back on what happened in Captain Marvel and onwards. Her body language when Carol was mentioned was enough to speak volumes. I thought maybe something more had happened that they would unfold later? But yeah, leaving and never coming back, not being there for Monica while she was suffering, and even after the Blip is pretty messed up. I can totally see how that would be enough to give that kind of reaction at just the thought of her.

kaliwali

Yes! I'll be wrapping up the last 3 episodes next week so that I'm not leaving you all hanging for a whole week just for the final episode lol

kaliwali

Right! It's honestly kind of brilliant how much WandaVision evolves. It starts off as so playful and nostalgic, but slowly unravels this raw emotional core without ever fully abandoning that sitcom feel. It's so unique and makes the emotionally charged moments hit that much harder! The scene with Norm was very chilling. Going from a sitcom character to someone clearly in pain and panic, then back again.. Wow. Same with the tear on the woman (NPC is a super fitting term) near the town edge, yes! It's so quiet but devastating at the same time. And as a viewer, feeling the weight of what Wanda must be going through but also witnessing the ethical horror of what is happening to these people is such an intense ride. It's layered and haunting in the best ways. Really looking forward to the final episodes! I've been really enjoying this show so much!

kaliwali

The Halloween setting is such a clever contrast, for sure! The costumes, candy and all the fun on the surface, but underneath things are getting REAL dark. This episode really shifted its tone in a huge way between Norm and the crying woman on the outskirts of town. I'm glad you enjoyed the X-Ray callout hahaha. Literally everything about that was wrong 🤣👀 Greys Anatomy x-rays are hilarious to me because I spot upside down X-rays hanging everywhere and they do the same move with the portable unit that just makes no sense. And that's a medical show! But I'm the same way, I love to spot those details from IRL experiences and see if the directors did their research or not lol. I'm really excited to wrap this show up next week!

kaliwali

This show really does hit deep! That mix of nostalgic sitcom comfort and emotional devastation is such a unique balance and they somehow made it all work so perfectly! I'm sad that I haven't seen any of these sitcom shows that they have been referencing. But after you all tell me in the comments where it's from, a little google search shows me just how accurate they parallel them! WandaVision put soooo much work into their vibes and set! Wanda's pain is woven throughout everything.. What starts as confusion and denial is now slowly shifting into something so much darker. And by now I can really see just how fragile she is behind all of her power. Elizabeth Olsen is absolutely phenomenal as Wanda. Her ability to show her grief through her eyes even while 'faking it' for Vision and her family is just unreal. And Vision! The moment outside the Hex broke me.. His first instinct being to help the townspeople even as he is literally disintegrating... That is truly Vision in a nutshell. Selfless, pure and exactly as you said, still worthy. That whole question of Wanda's mortality is one of the most compelling parts of this entire show. I feel for her, deeply. But at the same time, the cost of her grief is affecting so many innocent lives around her. it's messy and complicated, and that's what makes her such a standout character in all of the MCU. I just want her to stop suffering. Stop being in denial. Stop hurting. She has lost so much.. Thank you for the heads up, btw! Did NOT realize there were post-credit scenes so I'll be on the lookout for those now! I usually talk through the credits with you all and watch them as they go and speak what's on my mind, but I'll be on the lookout now. Thank you and see you in the final episodes next week!

kaliwali

Oh my... You put it into words. I was struggling with trying to find the deeper meaning behind that commercial. And my mind never would have gone there. Wow :(

kaliwali

Oh wow! As a noob to MCU comic books, would it be a mistake to start with hers? Because Wanda has very quickly become one of my favorites with this show.

kaliwali

Very good suggestion and one I will be taking! I was trying to figure out when I should take a break from Phase 4 and catch up with X-men, Daredevil and the older Spiderman films and I think that's what I decided as well. Thank you for your input!

Robin Holmes

I can't give any recommendations without Spoilers both in the comics and MCU. Just enjoy what you love and love being you!

Despite the tragedy of this episode containing Vision's THIRD ON-SCREEN DEATH (have mercy, Marvel!) it's probably my favorite episode of WandaVision, because it also contains 2 of my favorite things: spooky Halloween themes, and homages to Malcolm in the Middle. The camcorder intro and the opening scene with the boy breaking the 4th wall to speak to the viewer are both direct references. For my money, that show is probably the best family sitcom ever made and it 100% holds up. The writing was so sharp and hilarious, not to mention you get to see Bryan Cranston's pre-Breaking Bad comedy chops. I doubt you'd ever react to it, Kali, but if you did, you'd spend the whole time laughing your ass off.

Vision seriously can't catch a break, can he? Marvel literally said, "let's make his existence pure pain" 😭 I totally feel you that this episode just stands out from the others in such a powerful way! Things are getting REAL I haven't seen Malcolm in the Middle, sadly. I feel a little out of the loop since WandaVision has been referencing all the classic sit-coms! But that's okay. You guys have been awesome at telling me which episode belongs to which sit-com and I've been loving googling it and realizing how much it matches up!
