My heart.. Sitting with Wanda as Agatha forced her to relive all of her deepest wounds- losing her parents, her brother, and Vision- felt like watching someone's soul being laid out on the table, exposed and bare. And the quiet moment with Vision saying, "What is grief, if not love persevering?" hit me like a tidal wave of emotion. I did not see this arc for Wanda when Agatha finally called her the Scarlet Witch. It felt like something ancient woke up in her, but honestly the power behind the name scares me. And that final shot with 'Vision' being re-awoken? Wow. The twists and turns in this series just keep coming. How will it all end?

Best single line in the MCU! "What is grief, if not love persevering?" Just brilliant

Richard

So, the Scarlet Witch. Wanda's character was billed as such as far back as Age of Ultron, but no character had ever called her that on-screen until Agatha (Tony said "that little witch" in Ultron but not quite the same). Probably never thought you'd see an old-fashioned witch burning scene from 1693 in the MCU! Pretty avant garde to start incorporating that type of content in this franchise; I'm not a huge fan of it myself but I know a lot of others like it. I'm more about grounded heroes like Captain America and Iron Man. No doubt you noticed that when Wanda became overwhelmed with grief and despair, all that power and energy emanated from her HEART, not her hands. It's like her broken heart exploded with its own desires and will. "To grow old in" : ( Will save the rest of my thoughts for Ep 9.

That line by Vision honestly got me through losing a loved one from Covid. It helped me see that the sadness and immense grief that I had was feelings of love. I don’t know who came up with that line but it was something so simple but so powerful.

Ugh, totally agree. Loved that line so much! I felt it go straight to my heart ❤️

I actually remember Tony saying that to her! And feeling the same way about her in Age of Ultron.. I think I even said something along the lines of "Does she have some sort of paranormal powers?". So very cool to see her arc finally unfold in this show! Was not expecting it AT all. I really love that the MCU branched out even further in this series with the arcane universe... I mean we saw it a bit with Doctor Strange, for sure. But this just dove even deeper into witchcraft, spells, things that go "bump" in the night. And I looooove that!

kaliwali

I agree.. I'm so sorry for your loss during Covid. Vision's line was so deep and real. Absolutely loved it and was so taken back from it. It hit me straight in the heart, too.

Can only repeat what you and others have said. The 'Love Persevering' line might be the best thing ever written in the MCU. And there's been a lot of great writing over the years. Agatha Harkness & Tyler Hayward are mirror images of eachother. They both seek the utmost power known to them: Tyler seeks the greatest power known to science and wants to wield it, Agatha wants the greatest power known to magic and wants to wield it. Neither of them see Vision or Wanda as people, but as the route to that power. Tyler tore Vision's physical form apart to try to find it, Agatha tried to tear Wanda apart mentally and emotionally to find it. There's definitely an intended parallel there.

As difficult as it is emotionally to get through this one, this is probably my favorite episode in the whole series. It just adds so much context to everything we've seen so far. Especially why all the episodes have been sitcom themed. That it wasn't just some random fun choice. There was deep significance there to what those shows represent to Wanda. Love it Wanda shows just how powerful emotions, and especially love can be. Through her love, for her parents, for Pietro, for Vision, and the ensuing grief for each. Feeling those things so deeply that she spontaneously created everything in the Hex, including vision. Really enjoyed this entire series ability to spotlight emotions and showcase them in ways we may have never thought of before. And give a deeper meaning to it all

I absolutely love this episode. Obviously, it wouldn't be anything without all the movies and stories that have come before it, to set it up. But my god! What a rollercoaster and emotional torrent this is. Seeing your first-time watch reaction mirror my own was very fulfilling. Thanks for the great reaction! Now I'm off to watch the finale. 👀

Richard

Kali, you’re raw reaction at 17:15 broke my heart 😭😭😵‍💫

Dude Longcouch

Vision: It's funny because of the grievous injury he just suffered? Me: Vision totally gets it.

Robin Holmes

At around 32:30 your eyebrow instinct reaction made me kind of scoot back in my chair. I was like, "You just pissed of a reaction viewer so much I gotta go check on things."

Giancarlo Gasparin

Marvel putting the explosion in the middle of that emotional scene was diabolically nasty work.

kaliwali

Totally the best line ever written by the MCU by far. I was actually taken back so much by that line. It hit.. And such a true parallel to draw from Agatha and Tyler! Thank you for that analysis!!

kaliwali

I can totally see why this one is a favorite. It's deep, but it adds so much more to everything we have seen so far! All along, (oh gosh now the song is coming back to me hahaha)... But all along, these sitcom shows were deep memories of 'better times' for Wanda. Wow.. And yes! I absolutely love that Wanda's power came straight from her soul/heart to create what she did. When everything from this episode came crashing into view, it made me appreciate and love Wanda that much more.

kaliwali

YES! I totally agree. This episode was incredible and put so many open ended questions about this series to rest in the most beautiful way. I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction to this one! I thought episode 7 was a favorite of mine, but it was this one for sure.

kaliwali

I knew it was coming because of the stories, but wow. It both scared me and broke my heart at the same time.. Wanda ❤️

kaliwali

Hahaha I was so done with Tyler 😭👀🔥

kaliwali

I totally agree 😭😭😭 I knew it was coming but like that? Ugh..

Cory Stanish

Watching the Dick Van Dyke Show clips in this episode reminded me about the recurring gag where he trips over the ottoman in their living room (because pratfalls and physical comedy were one of his specialties), and they paid homage to it in episode one in a scene where Vision walks up to the ottoman in their living room and just phases through it instead of tripping over it. Also... the Dick Van Dyke clips in this one also highlighted Mary Tyler Moore in pants!

Ruben Daniel

So Scarlet Witch is a part of the X-men lore. Since Fox owned the license to the name, Disney could not use it. Once Disney bought out Fox the name could be utilized. I believe Hayward asked, "does Wanda go by any other name. No funny little nickname" as a foreshadowing to the name drop.

Jonathan Spahn

You know, Kali, get old sucks; I wouldn't recommend it 🥲 I cried through this whole episode with you. They really make you feel the grief, don't they? I'm with you to the end, but this is ruff. Why do I get more emotional on subsequent watchings than I did the 1st time? 😂😭

17:15 Pixel: WTH is wrong with you?

Kenny

"But what is grief, if not love persevering?" One of my favorite lines ever, not just in the MCU but movies/TV in general. Great reaction, as always. 👍
