#mone watches wandavision

[blakegallo]

i have a lot of thoughts about wandavision after this most recent episode, so let me just yell into the void.

part of me feels like i should recognize that it is an unfair criticism for me to be upset about soemthing that turned out to be wrong based on my assumption, so i’m just going to fully admit that. but i do think that on some level i am confused as to how sword and shield existed along parallel lines in this universe with the most recent revelation that maria was the person to found sword in the mcu, the most likely time being after the events of captain marvel. so at least since the mid90s this was a thing that existed, early 00s if you really wanted to push it given their current state of affairs + the sword ship we saw fury on in the end of far from home? so like. were there easter eggs before? one would think that since their whole thing is sentient weapons with an emphasis on space given their connections to carol. also v much feels like a peggy carter situation where we say that peggy and maria founded these institutions but we don’t see it... [ i know agent carter got two seasons, but still ]

but did they also have a similar hydra infestation that they had to deal with? asking for a friend?

even beyond that + even taking into account the teases that let us know that episode four was going to be an episode from swords perspective... it still kinda fell flat? for me it’s one thing for mr pettypants to want to take house of m or that old scarlet witch and vision miniseries and make it fit in the mcu, but i don’t understand how wanda got from the end of endgame to this in the middle of fuck nowhere new jersey? like. i really thought i wanted to watch wanda destroy reality... but this isn’t it.

it’s also just hard for me to enjoy it when i feel like there is more loss to wanda than just pietro or vision. like she also lost steve who was the person in civil war before the world fell to pieces that was also there for wanda. i get sis is really out here alone but i’ve been thinking from the first two episodes that this could have been a movie, and i get that they were able to add scenes that would have clearly needed to be cut and i do think that ms elizabeth is out here acting her ass off, the more the show gives me the more i wish it had just been a movie. the pacing is just not for me.
