Wandavision theory no one asked for #7438292018484
Bc I refuse to accept that Pietro is not Peter here is my theory as to what happened and yes next week I’ll be proven wrong and I’ll look like a dumbass but let me dream!!!
This weeks episode confirmed Agatha has been controlling Pietro all this time - meaning she needed a distraction to stall for time for evil shenanigans bc Vision is woke now. Therefore she needed a distraction they surely would pay attention to, someone Wanda desperately desires and longs for which is ofc Pietro. But Agnes can’t actually resurrect anyone, which is proven by the fact Vision cannot exist outside of the hex as he is dead in that reality (why they were able to bring some sort of consciousness back to Vision’s body idk, maybe bc he’s not human and AI so he can exist in an fabricated reality aka the hex? also remember vision doesn’t have vision’s memories!!) So Agnes takes to the multiverse and plucks a Pietro out - X Men’s Peter and controls his mind ala apocalypse/professor x/tesseract
I think this part is very likely, but this is where I’m getting into tinfoil hat territory but liSTEN I think it works : how did Agnes get Wanda to agree to this in the first place? Mind control is way too easy imo, plus wandas so fucking powerful dude, she’s like alpha level and Agatha is not I don’t think. I think that Agnes tempted Wanda somehow, playing on her grief and promising her a world of her own, however neglected to tell her about the ethicalities and her malicious intent. Basically she manipulated her and took advantage of her in a vulnerable state. Who’s to say this wasn’t the same approach she took with Peter? Why would she settle for a Quicksilver who looks nothing like ATJ Pietro? Because EP Pietro is vulnerable just like Wanda, and willingly went with her, and Agnes tempted and manipulated him too.
What if in the X Men universe, Wanda is dead? We know from DOFP and the deleted scenes that Peter has two sisters - a younger one (who I thought was Lorna but the timeline doesn’t add up) and one who is older, perhaps a twin? Wanda? Pietro tells Wanda that “he knew she needed him” - could Agnes be using Nexus so that Peter can feel MCU Wanda’s distress and pain calling out to him? Thinking he can save his deceased sister, he stops at nothing to try and help her in a love only sinling’s have. In Apocalypse, 10 years after DOFP, Peter is still living at home. Now ofc this could just play into Peter’s ‘man child’ persona but who’s to say something didn’t happen to Wanda between DOFP and Apocalpyse? Something traumatic that lead him to regressing and becoming overly attached to his remainding family? Why wouldn’t Peter invite his mutant sister to Xavier’s so they could learn to control their powers if she was around? Peter in DOFP is morally ambiguous, what happened in 10 years that made him want to fight bad guys? Maybe just growing up, but possibly to avenge his sister? If Wanda is gone, Peter’s behavior in Apocalpse makes so much more sense - his sudden need to reconnect with Erik, an attempt to fill a void longing for family, and ultimately him choosing not to tell Erik at the end of Apocalpyse. Peter realises Erik is mourning, just as he was - and Erik needs to grieve and heal, attempting to fill the void that Nina and Wanda left would not benefit either of them and would possibly hurt their relationship. There is no instant fix with grief. If Peter truly wants Erik in his life, they both need to grieve first.
If this were the case, there would be a poetic parallel between Wanda and Peter who have lost their other halves, trying to run away from their pain and warping reality. It would be a beautiful arc for them to accept their losses, accept they are not each other’s Wanda’s and Pietro’s - but look to form a meaningful, but separate relationship. I think this would be great in terms of storytelling and amplifying the themes of the show. I feel the overarching Wandavision message is to properly deal and face grief and pain, rather than bargaining and cheat reality by denying it and fabricating a new one. The only way out of grief is through.
Or I’m completely wrong and just trying to save Peter from Fox’s shitty writing, and am just so desperate to have my himbo back lmao - anyway I thought it was a good idea lol
